New Menu at SOULed Out, Sri Hartamas
Souled Out Sri Hartamas needs no introduction; at least, not in the Klang Valley. This popular eatery is almost a legend, after having been in the business since 1996.

From its humble beginning, the brand has flourished to the many branches holding court in KL and PJ now. The popularity of Souled Out lies mainly in its comprehensive range of food served, covering … [Read more...]

What’s your Favourite Japanese Sake?
As the national beverage of Japan, sake is often served during religious ceremonies, court festivals and any special event, back in the old days. Sake brewing was restricted to mostly temples and shrines and only from the 20th century did sake-brewing technology grow by leaps and bounds.

Sake is made by fermenting rice that has been polished to … [Read more...]
