Having just returned from Paris and having tasted her food, I realise that we do have some pretty good French cooking offered in our local restaurants too. And affordable. Yes, very affordable, if compared to what's paid in Paris. Of course the argument goes that it’s because our ringgit has depreciated tremendously and one should never convert the currency when spending money overseas. Ahhh…easier said than done :-) Anyway, coming back to French food on local soil, Topshelf in Taman Tun … [Read more...]
Good Friends Cafe, Subang Jaya
With such a simplistic name, the vision behind this place is crystal clear. Obviously the owners want it to be a place where good friends (and family) can gather to enjoy simple honest meals that won’t bust your wallet. Food served here has a “homey” feel and the chefs are geared and passionate about cooking healthy food, real food made from scratch in their kitchen. Everything, from the soups to sauces to cakes, are all made in the kitchen of Good Friends. I’m not much of a pumpkin soup … [Read more...]
Epicuro – what to eat besides the famous pork chops
Epicuro remains one of the best dining treasures I discovered last year and it still remains firmly on my list of favourites. Its famed Pork Chops, created by Yugin has been raved over and over (and not only by me)… truth be told, I never fail to order that at Epicuro. However, Epicuro is not all about its delectable pork chops, as I discovered in an invited meal there a couple of months ago. Yes, this post is two months overdue and I’m guilty as charged but I shall not delve into the reasons … [Read more...]
Celebrity Chef Edward Kwon heats up InterContinental Kuala Lumpur
The InterContinental Kuala Lumpur has just kicked off their World Celebrity Chef Series 2015 with the appearance of Celebrity Chef Edward Kwon, a top chef from South Korea. For weeks, photos of the incredibly hot-looking Edward Kwon have been flooding my Facebook timeline. It’s not surprising his legion of fans go ga-ga over him with many of them expressing their adoration and support in social media. So when I received an invitation from the InterContinental Kuala Lumpur to meet him … [Read more...]
Bubblylicious Brunch @ El Cerdo
Sundays are meant for sleeping in and lazy meals. If you are one of those who live by this principle, then El Cerdo’s Sunday Bubblylicious Brunch will fit right in. And if you are a porky fan, this will even be more appealing as El Cerdo is well-known for their porcine repertoire. You can opt for either the alcoholic package or the non-alcoholic brunch. The former is priced at RM149++ and the latter is RM99++ per adult. I’d say that the alcoholic brunch is really good value for money as … [Read more...]
Boathouse @ TTDI Kuala Lumpur – food to rock your tummy & heart!
The first time I met Chef Yenni Law was at the media launch of her book “Meatology” (read my write-up here). Of course Yenni was very busy during that event and we didn't have much time to chat. I sampled some of her dishes (from her cookbook) during the event and from what I tasted, I was pretty excited with Yenni’s creativity. I couldn’t wait to check out more dishes from her restaurant, Boathouse. Now, if you are a resident of Taman Tun Dr Ismail or its vicinity, you would probably have … [Read more...]
Business Lunch Sets at Senja @ The Saujana Hotel
If you are in the vicinity of The Saujana Hotel , Klang, Shah Alam or even Petaling Jaya, and need a nice place for a business lunch, look no further. Go to Senja, which is nestled in lush green surroundings at The Saujana Hotel. It’s a beautiful place, believe me. The standalone restaurant is lovely with its warm brown parquet flooring enveloping white tables and chairs. Diaphanous sheer drapes flutter gently, separating sections of the restaurant for that bit of privacy. … [Read more...]
Launch of “MEATOLOGY” by Chef Yenni Law
In the short space of time that I had interacted with Chef Yenni Law, I found that I enjoyed her company very much. Oh she was quick to tell me to quit calling her “chef” and insisted that I just call her by her name. I met Yenni for the very first time at the media launch of her cookbook “Meatology” at her restaurant, Boathouse in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur. Yenni was in the midst of an interview when I spotted her and I thought she kinda looked a bit ill-at-ease when the cameras … [Read more...]
The Pressroom Bistro @ Pavilion Kuala Lumpur
The Pressroom Bistro got its name from a traditional wine pressing facility and not the press room for news people as most would think so. I was under the latter impression, too. Would you like sugar with your coffee? I had a very pleasant initiation of this bistro’s offerings recently. The Pressroom Bistro serves food which are Mediterranean themed with a slant towards Spanish favourites. I was there for brunch on a weekend and was recommended their weekend special - “Good Roast”, … [Read more...]
Have a Merry Christmas at Croisette Cafe
There’s no denying that Chef Pierre is a marvellous chef and his passion is clear for all to see when he dishes up the most delicious authentic French fare from his neat kitchen in Croisette Cafe. The sweets and pastries he tirelessly bakes are works of art – I always think they are too pretty to eat. So, with Christmas just round the corner, the jovial chef has been quite busy preparing for the feasting that’s bound to happen. If you are expecting an extensive festive meal with lots of … [Read more...]
