Hey all! Want an interesting and exclusive dining experience right in the heart of KL? Don't fret! We've got a recommendation (or five) for you! We were treated like VVIPs last Wednesday night by the great folks from The Table at Lot 10 and Kirin Ichiban, through a night of delicious Japanese cuisine, yukatas, calligraphy, traditional Japanese music and of course, the first ever pressed beer itself, Kirin Ichiban! We were spoilt and filled to the brim with lovely dishes from

Most customers get excited when food items are made fresh from scratch especially when it comes to pizza's and pastas. We were greeted by Syamsul who is the currently the Head Chef of Pizza Plus assisting the co-owners Patrick Varin from Paris and Nyamdorj Bagaajav from Mongolia to run this neighbourhood business. It was a fairly quiet afternoon and we decided to settle for a table indoors. Inside, the setup is simple and minimal and gave off a very relaxing vibe. It was a ho

Whenever I want to go for Vietnamese food, I typically wait to go to my favourite joint in Singapore - Mrs Pho. Not for the lack of the many Vietnamese places in Malaysia, though! I just love everything about that place in Singapore. But when we tried Super Saigon, I knew it would be like Mrs Pho - it would easily become my go-to spot for Vietnamese food in KL. The premises are pork free, making it perfect for everyone to try authentic Vietnamese food. How authentic could it

It is one of the most highly anticipated launches, especially for (lazy) foodies like myself! Having tried the service in Singapore, I am so excited to announce it is now in KL.

UberEATS will be first be introduced in the following areas: • Kuala Lumpur’s Central Business District • Ba

Yes, Marche is back! And it's better than ever. You might remember the old Marche at The Curve - it was a little dark, packed and you'd come out smelling of food. The new Marche, under its new management, sports a brighter, more welcoming facade but maintaining the identity of the brand with its green and red and wood interior. I love the colours of the new place and even the tables and chairs seem more welcoming than older Marche outlets around the world. The concept is stil

What I love the most about living in Malaysia is that we have a rich culture in our food history dating back to the 15th century where the Peranakan Cuisine or some may call it Baba Nyonya was birthed. This intricate cuisine is a mix of various cultures, which include Dutch, Portugese, Malay and Chinese. Being passionate about food history and how it has evolved, we were excited to indulge in some of these dishes at Che Nyonya, The Pine Cafe tucked away from the hustle of the

History Con 2017, the mega entertainment convention launched for the first time in Malaysia with an impressive showcase at the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang early this August. As part of A+E Networks Asia, the leading factual and lifestyle entertainment network, we were invited to an exclusive close up experience hosted by MasterChef Asia's finalist Jasbir Kaur who was amongst the star-studded extravaganza lineups. Jasbir Kaur hails all the way from Kuching, East Mala

Staying healthy in a city that has so much delicious food to offer can be a challenge. We had the privilege of meeting Ryan Ling who is the Founder and Director Of Juiceee Malaysia, which is a homegrown juice brand established in 2014. He came up with the idea of producing and serving healthy juices, while making the product affordable so that consumers are able to invest into a health conscious lifestyle.

Recently I was asked what my most memorable dining experience was, and my answer was Copper Restaurant. What makes a meal memorable is the exciting menu, beautiful presentation, serene atmosphere, and of course delicious food. Copper checked all those boxes! Copper manages to come up with unique dishes that uses the freshest, seasonable produce and transform it into something amazing. Even though Copper has been described as a modern European restaurant, you can see the Malay

Vietnamese cuisine can be described as a balance of the sweet and salty, a great combination between asian and french influences. We were invited to taste a selection of dishes at Le Meridien as they flew in two guest chefs specially from Sheraton Hanoi, Chef Trinh Thi Mau and Nguyen Nam Nguyen to showcase a taste of Vietnam. The trishaw, which is a familiar symbol in Vietnam, was decorated beautifully at the entrance with traditional Vietnamese music that filled the dining r

Grand Imperial is no stranger to the food and beverage industry, with its other restaurants located around the Klang Valley. But its newly opened Sunway Velocity outlet is its first step into closing in on the downtown locale. Grand Imperial prides itself on its outstanding Chinese cuisine and its grandiose interior, making it the perfect place to host big functions like wedding banquets and corporate dinners. During its opening, we got to sample some of the chef's finest off

Living in the tropics of Southeast Asia, we have the privilege of indulging in a wide range of Malay traditional foods especially during the month of Ramadan. The fasting month is here which is the holy month observed by Muslims. This is a great time for families and friends to get together to "buka puasa" (break-fast) after fasting for the whole day. We entered into a vast dining room with aromas of different flavours floating in the air. The servers were clothed in traditio

Poké Bowls have been making waves lately, with it's heightened popularity especially among health conscious people in Klang Valley. Poké bowl (pronounced as 'POH-keh' and not poke!) is not something new as it has been around for centuries, being a traditional Hawaiian staple dish that is popular with its locals. They are basically chunks of raw marinated fish (eg. tuna, salmon) served on rice with greens and typically dressed with delicious umami sauce. The team at Paperfish

Every once in a while, you'll stumble upon an F&B establishment that will completely blow your mind. We did, and it's none other than Neroteca @ Bukit Ceylon, Kuala Lumpur. Tucked within the Seri Bukit Ceylon Residence, Neroteca is a charming little Italian restaurant with a warm and cosy ambiance. I wouldn't call it fine dining as it feels more like a place of comfort to feast on hearty and delicious Italian cuisine. You will be spoilt for choice as they have a wide range st

How can anyone say no to good chocolate? The foodie team recently had an inside sneak peek into how the perfect iced and hot chocolate are made. My favourite part of this review was that I could savour them after the demonstration. The Mercato Cafe is located inside Pavilion KL. It took me a while to locate it, and found that the easiest way to get there was going up the escalator in the Mercato supermarket. Before we go on, here's a little introduction on the mastermind behi
