Orchard Road may be one of the best shopping streets in Singapore but do you also know you can find a great selection of Japanese restaurants here that offer some of the best gyozas in town? From Gyoza no Ohsho (Cuppage Plaza), Ramen Santouka (Cuppage Terrace) and Uma Uma Ramen (Forum The Shopping Mall) to […]

J had been telling me even before we arrived in KL that we had to go eat this Boat Noodle at Avenue K because he saw it the last time he was here but didn’t have the chance to try. To be honest, we didn’t have a great start while here as we were just […]

Almost coming to an end of my KL travel & eat-venture posts. I’ve shared many good eats in KL so far but I haven’t touched on dining options in Avenue K even though my hotel was only next to it. So in my final 2 KL posts, I shall feature two restaurants in Avenue K […]

Happy Deepavali to my Hindu friends and readers! May this Diwali bring you lots of joy, happiness, good luck & good health throughout the year. ? Many roti prata lovers in SG should be quite familiar with Casuarina Curry @ Casuarina Road (off Upper Thomson). It’s a restaurant that I’ve been patronising for more than […]

I met up with J for lunch at Suria KLCC. We wanted to go Madam Kwan’s initially but the queue was just crazy during peak lunch hour. As J didn’t have time for a long leisurely lunch, we settled for Miss Kwan’s Tasty Recipes which is a Quick Service Restaurant of Madam Kwan’s located on […]

After having our scrumptious lunch at Yut Kee Restaurant, we walked to Bukit Nanas KL Monorail Station (near to Dang Wangi LRT Station) to catch the monorail to Hang Tuah as we wanted to visit the KWC Kenanga Wholesale City which is Malaysia’s first fashion wholesale and retail mall. You can also take the LRT […]

Yut Kee Restaurant has been serving up traditional Hainanese fare since 1928. It is one of the oldest kopitiam names in KL and is also one of the most popular breakfast places to go to for both locals and tourists. It was previously located along Jalan Dang Wangi (just a right-angled turn from its current […]

After our quick snack of Brickfields Pisang Goreng, we walked back to KL Sentral to get our train tickets to go to Mid Valley Megamall. Wasn’t actually planning to go there to shop or anything like that but because J had worked there for a period of time while on his previous business trips and […]

After spending the morning and early afternoon exploring Chinatown, we hopped back on the LRT and made our way to KL Sentral which is the main railway hub of KL as we wanted to catch another train to Mid Valley. Before that, we walked out to Brickfields a.k.a. Little India to look for this highly […]

Twins Korean Restaurant is named after a pair of young, fine-looking twin chefs, Park Sungjae & Park Woojae. They mainly specialise in Korean Fried Chicken that come in a range of flavours to suit all tastes. This hip and trendy restaurant on Craig Road in Tanjong Pagar gives diners the “chimaek” (fried chicken + beer) […]

Genki Sushi is a pioneer of conveyor belt sushi and is also one of the largest sushi restaurant chains in Japan. I had dined at Genki Sushi a couple of times back in the mid-to-late 2000s when it had outlets at Marina Square and Forum The Shopping Mall. It didn’t leave a lasting impression on […]

After exploring Petaling Street and Madras Lane in Chinatown, J and I walked over to the Central Market (中央艺术坊) which was just a stone’s throw away. Central Market is also known as Pasar Seni which literally means ‘art market’. To get here, take the LRT to Pasar Seni station (Kelana Jaya line). Once out, walk […]

After our street food adventure at Petaling Street (read my earlier blog post on Chinatown | Petaling Street in Kuala Lumpur), J and I ventured into the alley via an inconspicuous entrance on Petaling Street and found our way to Penjaja Gallery (李霖泰菜市场). This place is more commonly known as Madras Lane Wet Market (中华巷湿巴杀市场) […]

It was a Saturday morning and J didn’t have to go to work so we hopped onto the LRT train and made our way to KL’s Chinatown a.k.a. Jalan Petaling or Petaling Street. The nearest LRT station to Petaling Street is Pasar Seni on the Kelana Jaya line. Once you exit the station onto Jalan […]

Jalan Alor is probably KL’s most famed food street in the heart of Bukit Bintang. It is quiet in the day but it comes alive, bustling with hawker stalls lining the sidewalks when the sun goes down. This place is very popular with tourists – droves would come gallivanting around looking for local eats. And […]

I was invited back to Citrus By The Pool for a food tasting session last week as they had recently launched a new brunch menu. For those of you who haven’t heard of this place or haven’t been here yet, Citrus By The Pool is a halal-certified casual dining cafe and restaurant located at Woodlands […]
