Where should I start about the best Dim Sum experience I’ve just had? No, it wasn’t in any high-class Michelin-starred restaurant nor any 5-star hotel in the big city. It was in this modest restaurant in a row of nondescript shophouses like most shophouses around here are and this was in a quiet enclave in Damansara Kim. If you are not looking out for it, you may just drive past the plain simple signage. Let me tell you about Le Sense. You see, even the name sounds a bit out-of-place … [Read more...]

UOVO, Damansara Kim
Located along a quiet road in Damansara Kim, Uovo’s nondescript exterior is somewhat misleading. Once you step through the door, the dimmed ambience spells understated chic comfort. I like how the brocade drapes, dark wallpaper and intricate hanging lights combine to portray a dining space that can be both casually cosy or comfortably formal! Uovo’s menu is focused on teppan grill and desserts. Open only for dinner, the restaurant’s a la carte menu lists only a handful of dishes … [Read more...]

Yuzen Japanese Restaurant
Taking over the spot which used to be another Japanese restaurant, Yuzen has expanded into the adjoining lot, thus space is never an issue here. In fact, there are several private rooms set up here for some cosy dining. It’s always nice to start off a Japanese meal with some salad and sashimi. Depending on what’s freshest and available for the day, the chef can assemble a good assortment of sashimi, omakase-style. The tub of sweet succulent fish and shell food I had was made up … [Read more...]
Sushi Hinata – indulgent Omakase and other set meals
Forget ramen and teppanyaki – you won’t find them on Hinata’s menu. Here in this little Japanese restaurant tucked in a row of eateries at the St Mary Residences, the simple menu features mainly sushi and sashimi and some obligatory tempura, chawan mushi and miso soup. Helmed by sushi specialist, Chef Oritsuki Hideaki, Hinata’s offerings are of premium quality as their fish and seafood are imported directly from Tsukiji Fish Market and Fukuoka Market. Fresh stocks arrive every Tuesday and … [Read more...]
