2020 has been such an eventful and for some, tumultuous year. The ongoing pandemic has caused so much disruption in our lives. While we have now learned so many new norms as a result of the virus spread and movement restrictions, one thing for sure that must not change is that we should maintain some semblance of normalcy whenever & wherever possible. With Christmas and the year-end festivities coming up, we should at least take some time off and chill-out with family … [Read more...]

After about 3 years in Solaris Publika area, Meat the Porkers, the Home of Porky Indian Cuisine has recently moved to a bigger better space in Plaza Damansara in Bukit Damansara. About time too, as the piggies need more space and this new premise is definitely a much better playground.

YAKITORI DINING FUKUDA, Desa Sri Hartamas
Whenever we visit Japan, we never fail to eat and drink at izakayas there, simply because we are quite big fans of the casual food served there. Grilled skewers of chicken and other meats, done the Japanese way have a way of growing your appetite. I mean, we can sit forever in these izakayas and order countless sticks of those goodies and won’t even notice the time passing by! The relaxed (and sometimes boisterous) vibes in an izakaya - chatter, laughter mixed with clinking of drinking glasses … [Read more...]

Located within the same shoplot but on a different floor, this new eatery serves a good variety of contemporary European offerings.

PIGGY TAIL, Bangsar Baru
I lost count of the number of times the word “piggy” appears on the menu of Piggy Tail. This eatery, hardly a year old (opened since November last year) located in the busy Telawi area of Bangsar is packing in pork lovers by the droves. Looking at the menu, which is full of all sorts of porcine delights, it’s kinda difficult to make a selection because everything looks good. The goodies are grouped under “Breakfast”, “Salads”, “Soups”, “Pasta”, “Piggy Burgers”, “Rice” and “Desserts”. In … [Read more...]
The Smoking Hog @ SS2 Petaling Jaya
There are quite a few different perceptions where The Smoking Hog is concerned. These diverse views are mainly due to the ingenuity of the people behind this relatively new hog house. Let me tell you what my perception was. When the rickety doors of the lift opened at the 3rd floor of the building, my eyes took a few moments to get accustomed to the very dim interior that enveloped The Smoking Hog. The immediate thought that flew to my mind was “wow, what a clandestine hideout!” The … [Read more...]
