July will be a very “happening” month for Zuan Yuan, the Chinese restaurant in One World Hotel, Petaling Jaya. With their Executive Chinese Chef Tommy Choong now firmly settled in, it’s time to showcase some of his culinary prowess. Together with his team, Chef Tommy will be serving up some new dishes featuring tea as a showcase ingredient in Zuan Yuan. If that’s not enough to tantalise diners, sizzling hotplates will also be making appearances in the restaurant – more of that later. Let’s … [Read more...]

MALAYSIA BOLEH! @ Four Seasons Place, Kuala Lumpur
Malaysia Boleh! This slogan, translated directly as “Malaysia Can!” generally refers to the possible things that Malaysia or Malaysians can do. It’s like a rallying catchphrase to drive success and be a benchmark for excellence. Taking this catchphrase to expound the delicious-ness of Malaysian street food, the Fei Siong Group from Singapore recently opened the first outlet of “Malaysia Boleh” in Four Seasons Place Kuala Lumpur. It’s rather ironical that the reason Malaysia Boleh! came … [Read more...]
INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY BRUNCH at the All New LEMON GARDEN at Shangri-La Hotel, Kuala Lumpur
It’s been some months since the All-New well-known Lemon Garden was relaunched at the Shangri-La Hotel, Kuala Lumpur and it was the talk of the town.

CAMERON HIGHLANDS RESORT: LET’S GO ON AN ORGANIC CULINARY JOURNEY

Here’s another adventure: how about going on an organic culinary journey while you are at the resort? Everyone knows Cameron Highlands is famous for its vegetable farms, besides tea plantations.

3 Bags Full… of goodies to dig in!
It’s safe to say that the café scene has almost reached saturation point now in the Klang Valley. Cafes now are a dime a dozen and a new one pops open every other week. I sometimes wonder how the café owners survive, given the keen competition everywhere. It must be pretty tough, especially in thriving neighbourhoods like Kota Damansara. And this is exactly where 3 Bags Full is located since it’s opened last December. To stay relevant and ahead of the competition, this cosy … [Read more...]
Master Chef Kitchen – HK roasts, polo buns & kai tan chai!
Located in an outer building that’s part of the OneCity complex in Subang Jaya, Master Chef Kitchen is pretty visible with its big red-and-white signboard with the chef hat logo. It’s quite hard to miss, if you know which building to look for, within the sprawling OneCity development. Master Chef Kitchen is fashioned like a casual cafe serving Hong Kong-style roast meats served with rice and noodles. It also does a host of other simple Chinese dishes that go with rice. Most of the dishes … [Read more...]
Outback Steakhouse, Nu Sentral, Kuala Lumpur
“Big, Bold and Fresh” – now that’s the incredible tagline of Outback Steakhouse. This was clearly reinforced in the recent opening of the 2nd outlet of Outback Steakhouse in NU Sentral. Its flagship store in Bukit Bintang Park has been around since 2001 dishing out delicious food holding fast to the “Big, Bold and Fresh” philosophy. “Big” refers to the generous portions and variety of food served in Outback. I was more than overwhelmed by their portions and most of their starters, mains … [Read more...]
Hong Kong Sheng Kee Dessert
I’m so glad that Hong Kong Sheng Kee Dessert has opened an outlet here in 1-Utama. Working next to this mall, any new food establishment is a fresh breath of air to the sometimes-jaded dining scene here. Hong Kong Sheng Kee Dessert originates from Singapore where it has firmly established itself with 17 branches in that island nation. Now that’s a pretty impressive record – after all, Singapore is Singapore where competition reigns in everything. Spotting a casual contemporary dining … [Read more...]
