JP Teres @ Grand Hyatt KL

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 [...]

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 [...]

Nook & Mai Bar @ Aloft Kuala Lumpur Sentral

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 [...]

Gobo Upstairs & the White Asparagus Promotion

Calling all fans of the White Asparagus… Gobo Upstairs at Traders is having a rather cool promo.. What’s not to like about white asparagus? My only complaint is that the season is so short, usually running from mid April until early June. And while I do love green asparagus, there’s just something that feels extra [...]

Time sure flies when you’re deep up to the eyeballs with work and things, that people get deep up to the eyeballs with! Well this year, the dinner [...]

The Cloudy Bay Pinot & Duck Tasting Trail

And so we went a hunting, on a.. Cloudy Bay Pinot & Duck Tasting Trail..! Why on earth did they pick duck, and duck alone, to pair with the cloudy bay pinot, on this food trail? That’s the question I asked them too, the minute I got the chance. The answer was simple – the [...]

Gobo Upstairs @ Traders Hotel KL

We pay Gobo Upstairs a visit, in search of the ultimate steak.. There are some steaks that are a pleasure to eat. They need nothing more than a little salt and pepper to bring out their beefy goodness, and adding anything more, would be a travesty. This special cut, that I am talking about, should [...]
