We visited JP teres at Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur next to the Kuala Lumpur Convention Center for a buffet lunch recently and pleasantly found the Malaysian cuisine presented by its live cooking stations rather delectable. The international hotel chain, Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur, with 412 hotel rooms opened its doors 8 months ago, right in [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Hats Off to the Starwood group for bringing 3 amazing chefs to our KL shores this week… If you’ve ever wondered why, famous Chefs of Michelin restaurants from around the globe, who visit KL are few and far between, I have good news for you. For 5 days in May (from 8 to 12 May [...]
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 [...]
Penang, the areca nut palm tree island no more. Unlike many south asian destinations, there are fewer betel nut vendors and chewers now on this Malacca Straits island, colonially known as the Prince of Wales Island, and a former free port of the British East India Company. There are no more coolies on the docks [...]
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 [...]
CCFoodTravel check out Aloft, the latest hotel under the Starwood group… Honestly, there is no stopping the Starwood group. They have nine hotel brands globally, and in Malaysia they have at present five hotel brands, the Le Meridien, The Luxury Collection, Westin, Four Points, and Sheraton. Apparently the other two Starwood brands, the St Regis [...]
I’m glad I was not in Thailand for Songkran. Armed with water guns, the weekend of Songkran, is a great excuse Thai folks to shoot girls and boys and tourists alike with water. Of course, the boys, girls and tourists shoot back. Needless to say, this is the country’s most popular festival, which runs every [...]
Last wednesday we headed to Pisco Bar, to catch Miserable Man , and he was brilliant! Here’s what he sounds like.. There were also some creative, oh so delectable, tapas (Chef Miguel Hokama’s trademark cooking) and Pisco Sours to kick back with, and enjoy the music. If this sort of scene is your thing, you [...]
If you like versatile dining.. it’s time to head on down to Chef Choi.. Having dinner at Chef Choi is an experience in itself. The chef is full of surprises and we have became regular clients at this restaurant for a couple of years now. And dining at Chef Choi is like eating the best [...]
