Feasting at Favola!

Eating out at Favola, always reminds me of eating out in Venice. With its moody weather, that’s almost always threatening rain, breath-taking ancient architecture, winding canals, and endless mysterious passageways, Venice was one of the places I loved most for great sightseeing and food, in Italy. This trip was almost a decade ago, but I [...]

Flying Wantan Mee @ Simon’s Delights, Paramount PJ

It was the case of the Flying Wantan noodles, that brought us out to lunch at Simon’s Delights one fine afternoon… How high can you go?   Or How high can you fly? Tossing the wantan noodles to new heights – that’s what this guy does for a living. He can be spotted at Restoran [...]

Hats Off with Chef Serge Dansereau @ Prego

Chef Serge Dansereau hails from Montreal Canada, and we had the pleasure of talking to him at the recent Hats off dinner at Prego, the Westin KL. This French Canadian chef’s career kick started as a kitchen hand in Montreal, but he gradually worked his way to the top as his flair for cooking became [...]

db Bistro Moderne, Singapore

db bistro moderne

When asked in an interview, “In one sentence, what do you actually do all day in your job?” Daniel Boulud, he answered, “I bitch at (everyone including) myself about making everything perfect.” Such is the perfectionism of this chef. And you know, Daniel Boulud and dining at his restaurants, really is special. This French chef [...]

Heavenly cuisine at Celestial Court, Imperial Sheraton KL

Smartly dressed discerning locals, head for Celestial Court, a casually elegant restaurant, located on the fringe of KL’s down-town bustle. Spacious, yet well concealed on the third floor of Imperial Sheraton, it sits in a nook, behind an opulent entrance where an intricate Chinese lantern and striking red veils hang in cascading fashion form the [...]

Thirty8 @ Grand Hyatt KL

I love lazy Sunday afternoons at Thirty8, especially over their champagne brunch! We’ve always been meaning to check out Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur, every time we are in the KLCC area, but never got around to it. Somehow there’s some other activity on and we get sidetracked. Well this time, we managed to get to [...]

Gunther’s Singapore

One of the places we just had to check out that’s famous for its French cuisine, was Gunther’s Singapore … would it live up to expectations? One of the places we could not wait to visit was Gunther’s, in Singapore. I would run many miles just to eat Chef Gunther Hubrechsen’s cold angel-hair pasta with [...]

Prego @ The Westin KL

Accessible, unadorned, carefully rusticated Italian cooking is what we look forward to, and love the best about Prego. And when it comes to restaurants that serve good Italian food in KL, Prego, which means “welcome” in Italian, ranks high in our books. The quality and care that goes into the preparation of its menu, surfaces [...]

Rama V & the Songkran Festival with Janet Lee

It was a good thing that, instead of dunking us in water, the good folks of Rama V, used a pandan leaf, soaked in scented water, to gently bestow some good luck sprinkles on our shoulders. Otherwise, we would have been thoroughly soaked, as this was Thai Songkran, the mother of all water festivals. The [...]

Les Amis, Singapore

One of the memorable restaurants we got to visit on our recent trip to Singapore with #YourSingapore Live, was Les Amis. Les Amis, a restaurant famous for its contemporary European cuisine, seemed like the right choice for lunch, on our second day in Singapore. This restaurant, located on Scotts Road, very close to Orchard, shopping [...]
