There’s no denying the passion that goes into the food at NOSH. While I have not had the pleasure of meeting Judith yet, when chatting with Ann Lee, her unabashed enthusiasm and obvious love for food sparkle through in her every gesture. When she makes a statement like “Really, what do we Malaysians love most? Eating great food, of course!” – you would immediately gather that here is one dedicated gourmand in every sense of the word. For not only does she love great food, she makes great food … [Read more...]

I followed the aroma trail and there, at the Poolside, stalls have been set up, holding pots … [Read more...]

Its dark wooden panelled entrance with intricate floral-like lattice work flanks its logo: a bunch of herbal leaves, from what I gather. Stepping inside, one wall showcases a reflection of the restaurant’s … [Read more...]
