DIM SUM at RED Chinese Cuisine, Pullman Kuala Lumpur City Centre
Red Chinese Cuisine at Pullman Kuala Lumpur City Centre is one of the most stunning restaurants in town.

The striking red and black theme, well, it just strikes me at every direction I turn and those huge posters of oriental women in cheongsam are ever so … [Read more...]
Refreshed Menu at PREGO by Chef Marco De Cecco, The Westin Kuala Lumpur
Quite a lot has changed since the last time I stepped into Prego, the Italian restaurant at The Westin Kuala Lumpur. There’s a great sense of warm Italian welcome in the cavernous layout of Prego, reverberating from the delicious activities happening in the open kitchen right in the centre of the restaurant. Chefs can be seen bustling around simmering pots and sizzling pans – a merry sight indeed for anyone hankering for a good Italian meal. Every now and then, insane aromas waft out … [Read more...]

YUK SOU HIN @ Weil Hotel, Ipoh
One of the most popular meals one can have in Ipoh is Dim Sum. It’s so well-loved that not only it is eaten at breakfast and lunch, some restaurants do serve it at night as well. Growing up in Ipoh, a dim sum supper was something of a big treat for me, because we were poor and could not afford this very often. Ipoh folks eat dim sum at the crack of dawn – it’s not unusual to see the popular dim sum restaurants being full and crowded by 7am! As a kid, I was always excited, despite being … [Read more...]
Staycation at WEIL HOTEL IPOH
Whenever I go back to Ipoh, I don’t stay in hotels. Why should I, when my family is still there and I have some perfectly comfortable accommodation to stay? Someone asked me the other day “Well, if you have to book a hotel to stay, in Ipoh, where would you choose?” That can be quite a difficult question to answer - there are so many hotels that have sprouted in Ipoh in the past few years – many of these are old buildings converted to “boutique hotels” in and around the city. I must say some of … [Read more...]
