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 [...]

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 [...]

Chinese New Year & Valentines Day @ Garibaldi KL

It’s no secret that Garibaldi is one of our favorite Italian Restaurants. And we were delighted when we found out that for Chinese New Year, there would be an exciting innovative menu too, for those who celebrate the auspicious year of the Snake. It’s been a long time since Italian Asian fusion cooking has promised [...]

Aria @ Damansara Heights

Bruschetta Platter – Platter of tomato ,mushroom cream & smoked salmon bruschetta Aria comes across as a modern yet unpretentious place [...]

Dinner with Chef Lino Sauro @ Garibaldi KL

A Unique Food Experience with Chef Lino at Garibaldi Restaurant & Bar, KL.. When we read via one FB update that Chef Lino Sauro would be making an appearance in Kuala Lumpur in September, at Garibaldi Italian Restaurant & Bar, we really wanted to meet him. We’d heard so many good things about Gattopardo in [...]

‘Bring Me Food’ with Guest Chef Andrew Blundy at Tosca, DoubleTree by Hilton

Oh.. we are so excited about ‘Bring Me Food’ with Guest Chef Andrew Blundy at Tosca, DoubleTree by Hilton!   So how, exactly, does a London pub, the type of establishment not exactly known for its haute cuisine, in a country that’s famously (if erroneously) known for a miserable foodie culture, get awarded a Michelin [...]

Favola @ Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur

There was nothing nuanced about the appetizers that arrived on our table at Favola. We were told by our hosts, to order a soup and mains.. but had we known they’d out do themselves on the starters, we would have paced ourselves differently. The beautifully marinated trio of tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella cheese, fresh basil tickled [...]

We just had a terrific meal at Favola, Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur today, and it was all thanks to visiting guest chef, Chef Stefano Merlo who is from Rossini’s, Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit Bangkok, Thailand. When we asked him if he liked Kuala Lumpur, he replied, very much, but it was actually only his very first [...]

Verona Trattoria Section 17

We are back at Verona! This place now serves pork, and since our past experiences have always been good here, we were pretty sure that the latest grub offerings would be good too.(Read our past post here). Verona Trattoria has in its repertoire the casual home cooking style that might be called bistros or diners [...]

Garibaldi Italian Restaurant and Bar @ Bangsar Village

The day Garibaldi opened its doors to the public, it became immediately clear what Kuala Lumpur had been missing all these years: a warm, intimate ambiance, fabulous cuisine, and Chef-attended service. Garibaldi might have even launched a bit of a culinary metamorphosis in Kuala Lumpur, and in my humble opinion, it remains one of the [...]
