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 [...]
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 [...]
We traipse over to Di Wei, Empire Hotel Subang.. because we caught the scent of an Apple Cider roast duck! What’s there not to like, about a succulent, glistening, beautifully browned bird. Not much. And at Di Wei, a rather fantastic version of the bird, called the Honey Apple Cider Crispy Roast duck, was something [...]
What on earth is a “Poon Choi” ? I had never tried it before, so I was pretty excited to see what lay underneath the lid of that huge claypot. At Di Wei, Poon Choi or Big Bowl Feast is really a sight for sore eyes.. Poon Choi, that comes from the Song Dynasty, is [...]
I love Chinese New Year celebrations at Chef Choi. It’s always such a porky affair.. I know I will definitely eat my fill of suckling pig and oh, for the love of crispy crackling skin! This year’s menu was a bit of an experimental menu , thrown together by the Chef.. But first the Yee [...]
I’ve always liked Five Sen5es at the Westin KL because the place is so darn chic. It just oozes class, and the food is awesome too. I also like the fact that when you dine there, you are supposed to use all your 5 senses – sight, sound, smell, taste and touch. I couldn’t wait [...]
Double your Chinese New Year luck, with two menus, from Li Yen at The Ritz-Carlton KL and then, Shanghai at JW Marriott.. I really cannot believe that Chinese New Year is almost upon us once more. Everything files at the speed of light when you’re busy I suppose. Having just come back from a 2 [...]
Chef Sam Leong cooks up some wonderful contemporary chinese dishes at Tao, Intercontinental Kuala Lumpur.. We had no idea that Chef Sam Leong would be in KL, and for such a short time too. It was fortunate then, that we managed to try his wonderful contemporary chinese cuisine at Tao, Intercontinental Kuala Lumpur, over the [...]
Tis the season for hairy crabs once more.. On the streets people yell.. Hairy crab season! Autumn is upon Hong Kong, and with it, peak season for a quintessentially Chinese delicacy – the hairy crab. As fall arrives, the crabs plump up, and restaurants stock them in huge numbers. Those cooking at home can buy [...]
GAB puts a spin on food and Beer Pairing, at Oktoberfest, at Tai Zi Heen, Prince Hotel Kuala Lumpur.. Malaysians have been drinking beer with everything, since the dawn of time. But few might have drunk beer as part of Chinese fine dining, or at a deliberate beer food pairing event. The mix of food [...]
Beloved by many Malaysians, a steamboat is a tureen of stock that’s kept simmering at the table, and friends and family gather around to dine on food that has been painstakingly prepared, with much love. The Steamboat at Chef Choi is so pretty to look at that one cannot but stop to admire, the food [...]
