DoubleTree by Hilton Putrajaya
It is commendable that even during this challenging pandemic period, the very first DoubleTree by Hilton in Putrajaya was opened just more than a month ago. The launch of this resort during this time is a testament to the commitment of Hilton to establish its presence in new destinations across the country and our administrative capital of Putrajaya is an ideal choice.

Dining-out at CHYNNA, Hilton Kuala Lumpur
With some of the lockdown restrictions being slowly lifted as the community moves on to the next recovery phase, dining out is now allowed. To many F&B establishments and hotels, there must be collective sighs of relief as they see there’s likely to be light at the end of the tunnel.

I will only visit places which I know will strictly enforce … [Read more...]
REN I TANG, Penang – Staycation in a Heritage Gem
Staying at Ren I Tang Heritage Inn brings back many childhood memories. Not that I grew up in Penang but this old-world charming building reminds me so much of the old shops and places of my childhood. "Ren i Tang" is the phonetic presentation in Mandarin of South East Asia’s oldest Chinese Medical Hall Wholesaler, Yin Oi Tong which is translated as “The Hall of Benevolence”. Isn’t that grand? “Hall of Benevolence” sounds very much like something from a Qing Imperial Palace! Here’s … [Read more...]

XIN CUISINE’s RM15 Value Meals: Takeaway/Home Delivery
Many of us are now doing a lot of things in a new norm, thanks to the pandemic. One of these is having takeaway food or have food delivered to us. On days when I don’t feel like cooking at home, I would prefer to order takeaway meals, rather than dining out. Sometimes I find it such a drag having to drive out, find a parking, wear a mask, have temperature taken at restaurant doorway, register to get into the restaurant, sanitise hands and then only enter. That’s really a lot of … [Read more...]
Weekend Dim Sum Brunch at RED, Pullman KLCC

For many, there are still deep concerns over the Covid-19 pandemic and prefer to keep away from public places, including restaurants.
