COQUO @ Solaris Dutamas – where Delicious Wholesomeness rules!
Chef Toni Valero is boundless in his energy and passion – that’s my first impression of him as I observed him zipping around the open kitchen at Coquo. If the name sounds familiar, that’s probably because you have heard of this talented chef who used to helm the culinary team in Ohla at The Intermark. Chef Toni has since moved on to Coquo at Solaris Dutamas where he’s a co-owner and happily showcasing his masterful creations to delighted diners. The L-shaped seating facing the … [Read more...]

FARM TO PLATE @ Damansara Kim – let the natural flavours shine!
Farm to plate, farm to table - these are the latest dining trends around town. It’s like a spin-off from the organic food craze, which is not a bad thing. People are now appreciating the value of chemical-free food and the next step is to eat food that’s freshly brought in from the source: the farm. For the ordinary folks, it may not be viable to consume farm-fresh food on a regular basis unless they own the farms. For some restaurants, it is a worthy venture to promote healthier food and … [Read more...]
UOVO, Damansara Kim
Located along a quiet road in Damansara Kim, Uovo’s nondescript exterior is somewhat misleading. Once you step through the door, the dimmed ambience spells understated chic comfort. I like how the brocade drapes, dark wallpaper and intricate hanging lights combine to portray a dining space that can be both casually cosy or comfortably formal! Uovo’s menu is focused on teppan grill and desserts. Open only for dinner, the restaurant’s a la carte menu lists only a handful of dishes … [Read more...]
CERDITO RESTAURANT: IBERICO PORKY FEAST!
Opened in May this year, Cerdito Restaurant is a full-service restaurant right smack in the middle of Puchong Jaya. In an area that’s brimming with casual cafes, kopitiams and noisy Chinese “tai-chow” kinda restaurants, Cerdito stands out with its prominent facade in a corner lot. Stepping into the restaurant, I was pleasantly taken aback with its sleek modern interior design with its elegant and welcoming at the same time. The clean classic lines of its contemporary design … [Read more...]
RUYI & LYN’S 1ST ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION UNVEILS ITS NEW MENU
How time flies - I can’t believe that it has been a year when I first stepped into Ruyi & Lyn and was blown away by Chef James Ho’s iconic miniature nasi lemak and Hainanese chicken rice. Read about my review of that first meal I had in Ruyi & Lyn here. Those miniature sushi of nasi lemak, chicken rice and mango sticky rice have since become social media stars. So did their subsequent dim sum items, which caused another ravenous furore in the media - check those out here. Fast … [Read more...]
