Behold MEATOLOGY!
Meatology is the name of Chef Yenni Law’s celebrated cookbook and it was actually at the media launch of this book in early 2015 that I first met this dedicated and passionate chef.

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.

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...]
HUBBA HUBBA MONT KIARA
When you enter the Seni Mont Kiara Condominiums , look up and you will see the sweet pink sign for Hubba Hubba Gastrobar perched on the 1st Floor. This is the 3rd outlet of Hubba Hubba and if I were a resident of this condominium (but I can’t afford it, really), I’d be mighty happy with this eatery right at the doorstep.

HUCKLEBERRY AFTER DARK @ PLAZA DAMANSARA
By day, Huckleberry the bakery and cafe draws the crowd with wonderful smells of freshly baked breads, pastries, cakes and freshly-brewed coffee. Their croissants are insanely good (especially the almond ones!) - my favourite any time. All these are sold out every single day, usually by late afternoon. After that, the crew would be getting geared up for their After Dark activities - sounds intriguing? Huckleberry After Dark takes on a whole different atmosphere. The kitchen … [Read more...]
