Gourmet luxury travel - Malaysia and the world
We sadly arrived too late to eat at Wild Lotus on the edge of the Old Quarter and the French Quarter in Hanoi. The setting is so pretty though it seems to be worth a visit even if you only order something light. The food has great reviews from other […]
Sunday brunch at this exquisite French restaurant is a must for anyone in Jakarta. The food is divine and the attention to detail is second to none. The French chef likes to surprise his guests with specially prepared items which are not on the menu. The staff are a de…
I’m not a wild fan of Vietnamese coffee. It’s sold on every street corner, advertised in every guide as the thing to do in Vietnam and tourists buy it by the bucket load but I’ve never caught on to the mania. Believe me I’ve tried… eve…
Quan An Ngon is another place that should be on your “must visit” list for Hanoi. Every variety of Vietnamese street food is all available under one canopy in clean and buzzing surroundings. Seriously there is no need to put your stomach in the hands of …
Highway 4 might not be the place to come to drink every week if you live in Hanoi, but if you’re a visitor, this bar and restaurant should definitely be on your hit list. Three stories of bar and restaurant with a variety of seating sees both locals and foreigner…
Can it be true? Does the food really taste better when the ambience is nicer? I’ve been patronizing this restaurant in Ampang for years for its convenience to home and decent meals. For some reason though, after last year’s renovation each time I go ba…

That magical hour when daylight fades and night begins is the perfect time to visit The Apartment at KLCC Suria. If you’re just a few and don’t mind the heat there is a small balcony upstairs overlooking the KLCC water fountains and park. If you need the …
Modern Australian cuisine. Love the design – especially the paint can lights, wooden tables and funky red stools. Excellent service. Don’t miss their version of gnocchi – spinach and ricotta dumplings with a sweet smooth pumpkin sauce. Mmm…
Spasso Milano is another nice find on the Ampang side of town. Little gems amongst the rats and grot of Ampang are starting to pop up (it’s about time) and I’m pleased to say that Spasso Milano is one of them. Recently opened towards the end of 2010, this r…
Knowing that I’m always on the search for great coffee in KL a friend introduced me to Le Passione Cafe in Hartamas Shopping Centre. Success! Run by some Aussies they take their coffee making seriously and import their own blend of Brazilian beans. I’…
One of my favourite breakfasts in KL is that at The Living Room at the Westin Hotel in Bukit Bintang. The selection is so wide that it is able to please my husband, local and foreign friends and myself (and I’m quite fussy:-). Unfortunately my photos just don&#…
