FOODIE VS THE WORLD 

Mid-Autumn season this year is upon us again and to celebrate one of the most food-filled seasons (mmm, mooncakes), Garrett Popcorn is introducing an exclusive, limited edition gift set. Inside each gift set, you will find two ‘Jade Rabbit Tins’ filled with a special popcorn flavour from Japan, the Matcha Caramel Crisp as well as the classic Chicago Mix. The collectible Jade Rabbit tins feature lids adorned with intricately embossed designs resembling a mooncake. The tins are

By Carmel Dominic When foodievstheworld was invited to review Ante’s brand new high-tea menu at their One Utama branch, we were expecting a three-tiered stand of cakes, assorted finger sandwiches, pastries, scones with jams and maybe some in-house baked cookies accompanied with a pot of tea. But, to our pleasant surprise, this spread was entirely different. There were only 3 plates in front us and for a fraction of a second, I was skeptical about the menu. One plate held Fren

Tokyo Secret has been commanding long lines since opening just recently. The famed baked cheese tarts have drawn crowds from all over the Klang Valley. All the tarts are baked fresh on site and if they run out of tarts, you'll have to wait for a fresh batch to be ready. But it is worth the wait. Trust me. They don't look like much... In fact they look like our typical egg tarts you can find anywhere. But make sure you get the tarts warm and eat it on the spot! Don't bother br

When I was living in Singapore, I often frequented Hong Kong food places - they were simply everywhere and had pretty great food at affordable prices. Hong Kong Sheng Kee Desserts is a chain from Singapore, a little piece of my second home had come to my first. And the name of the shop is a bit misleading. You'll be getting far more than desserts at this restaurant. In fact, you'll be treated to dimsum breakfast dishes, typical Chinese lunch fare like noodles and rice as well

Before I go off waxing lyrical about the place, be forewarned that this post might be a tad biased. Ever since Ante opened its doors in 2012, I have seen many variations of its menu and even named it my favorite restaurant of all time. So, when I found out that Ante would be opening its second branch in One Utama, I was jittery with excitement to visit it. Ante's maiden branch in Publika is the type of place you'd bring your date to get them in the mood for romance, while Ant

Merry Christmas, Foodies! What's everyone having for Christmas brunch? I went all out and decided to try Rocku's second branch in Malaysia - in One Utama. A scrumptious meat buffet (omg yes pls!) for the whole family with live music accompanying the meal. Fellowship with friends is more fun when you're cooking! And the best part is that this particular chain of Japanese BBQ buffet won't leave you smelling like you've just spent the whole day in a kitchen. The technology behin

Not my first time visiting the famous Korean restaurant (and it won't be my last) but I decided to write a quick review. Edit I've only ever visited the One Utama branch. But the Pavilion branch is a lot bigger and brighter. I like that this one gives patrons more space in between tables. It is also decorated a lot better than the One Utama branch. I decided to have the Sal Sal Chicken Breast Salad (RM21.90). I love the SalSal chicken breast. It is absolutely my favourite thi

I've had O Banh Mi a decent amount of times before I decided to write this post. I simply love the casual vibe of the cafe, the simplicity of the food and the great service. Of course, if I see French toast on the menu, I must try it. And mannnn, that Vietnamese French toast is the softest, fluffiest, sweetest tasting French toast I've ever tried. It is served with peanuts and ice cream, so be sure to ask for no peanuts if you're allergic like I am. It's priced at a decent RM
