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 […]

Was planning to roll out my second instalment of my KL travel & food posts this week but decided to do something different today. Hubby and I visited Gardens by the Bay last month on the first day of its Mid-Autumn Festival that was held from 3 – 18 September. Meant to share about this […]

J and I hopped onto the LRT and headed to Kampung Baru. Even though Kampung Baru didn’t look very far away from our hotel on Google map and in fact it was only one LRT stop away (KLCC -> Kampung Baru), it still wasn’t possible to get there on foot. There wasn’t any through road […]

The old Imbi Market used to be situated on Jalan Melati, Imbi in Kuala Lumpur. Just five months ago, the market had moved to its new home and current premise at ICC Pudu. Perhaps many would regard that as a welcomed move as at the new premise, there would be improved infrastructure and a cleaner […]

I came across TAPAK when I was out exploring the streets for supper options on my first night in KL. It was just a stone’s throw away from my hotel (Le Apple Boutique Hotel KLCC), located at an open-air carpark next to Corus Hotel on Jalan Ampang. TAPAK is the brainchild of 4 high school […]

After checking into the Le Apple Boutique Hotel KLCC, J and I took the GOKL CityBus (green line) from KLCC to Starhill Gallery to look for Restoran Beriani Asif that’s located in the Bukit Bintang area. I was recommended to try out this restaurant by a fellow blogger whom had raved about its lip-smacking lamb […]

Hello Kuala Lumpur! I’m back again! When I got off the plane, I was kinda standing there in disbelief that I had picked hectic KL as the destination for my healing trip, lol. No, don’t get me wrong. I don’t hate KL. In fact, there’s nothing I don’t like about KL except unscrupulous taxi touts […]

Headed to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for a 9-day eat-venture while the husband was on business. I was previously in a job where I had to travel a lot because the events that my company was organising were mainly based in the Asia Pacific region. KL was one of the cities that I often flew to […]

Hello again Langkawi! This beautiful island located on the west coast of Malaysia is another of my favourite destinations (besides Bali) for a relaxing beach holiday where I could just do nothing but enjoy my 3S – sun, sea and sand. In 2002, I came to Langkawi with my family while on a Superstar Virgo […]

From Toh Soon Cafe, we walked for about 5 minutes along Jalan Penang to Lebuh Keng Kwee (just 4 streets away) for our final food stop which was this chendol pushcart with an incredibly long queue. This auntie’s speed of whipping up bowls and bowls of chendol (RM2.50 per bowl) and ice kacang was just […]

Ask any local where to get good old Hainanese coffee in Georgetown, Penang, I’m sure he or she will likely point you to Toh Soon Cafe which is just two streets away from the famous Line Clear Nasi Kandar and is located in a back alley off Lebuh Campbell. It was a late afternoon on […]

After having a quick tea break at Mugshot Cafe, we headed to our next stop just further down the road and near to the junction of Lebuh Chulia and Jalan Penang. Line Clear Nasi Kandar is located in an alleyway which is very easy to miss. If you’re walking from Lebuh Chulia, keep to the […]

The last time I came to Penang, I had a lovely tea break at Coffee Affairs that served up decadent mille crepes and cheesecakes. While exploring, I also discovered several other hipster cafes in the old quaint streets of Georgetown that I felt would be worth a separate cafe hopping trip. And indeed, this time […]

Back to Penang for half a day while on a cruise holiday aboard Sapphire Princess! For those who have yet gone on a Princess cruise or are considering to go on one, check out my blog posts on my cruising experience with Sapphire Princess last year: Sapphire Princess Cruise Review (Part 1 of 3) – […]

Hello again Jen. Just a year ago, I was here with my family for their weekend brunch buffet at the former Cafebiz (now renamed to J65). And last month I was back with my husband because the kind folks at Hotel Jen Tanglin had hosted us for a one-night stay which happened to coincide with […]

Good morning sunshine! ☀☀☀ The husband and I went for a walk at Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park as I wanted to feed the fishes. When we were done, we decided to go the opposite direction towards Upper Thomson Road so we could deviate from our usual route just for a change. I was glad we […]
