Gourmet luxury travel - Malaysia and the world
Feast Village at Starhill Gallery is a lovely spot to take visitors. A cluster of uniquely designed restaurants, walkways, walls, and ceilings make a visually very interesting space. Food is definitely not cheap but the ambience is truly lovely. The pictures sp…
The Red Beanbag has been open for less than a week at Solaris Dutamas and it seems it has already won a following. I witnessed a steady stream of people come in and out of this cafe run by four Aussie educated locals wanting to bring a little of the […]
Recently I discovered I’ve become quite the coffee snoot and am increasingly difficult to please where my java is concerned. Fortunately, a fellow coffee snob recommended Tutmak in Ubud to fulfill my caffeine needs. They roast their beans daily and very m…
Busy, busy, busy! Cafe Beachstone is popular on the weekends. The huge open grassy spaces and playground make it an ideal location for families with young children. Mum and dad can enjoy a yummy all-day breakfast while the kids can go wild on the grass and play equip…
The Happy Frog makes me happy too. It’s not only a healthy cafe serving some of the yummiest treats in town (think delicious caramel date slice) but also doubles as a fresh food market offering locally grown organic produce. Fruit, veg, herbs and even cof…
The Coffee Club, on Nepean River in Penrith, is a lovely place for breakfast. Sit outside to enjoy the greenery and go for a stroll along the river after your meal. The all-day breakfast ranges from the classic bacon, eggs, tomato and toast, to eggs benedict wit…

Marmalade is one of my favourite lunch places in KL. Their menu features a variety of fresh salads, sandwiches and light meals. I love that you can get “wholemeal” banana pancakes for breakfast, they have skim milk if you so choose for your coffee and t…
Shame the camera batteries died for this one. Food is really decent here. Stoop & Stoop is amongst seemingly endless strips of restaurants trying to catch tourists. It was the busiest place on the block, filled with what we assumed were locals. The food was fil…
Okay, this cafe nearly did not make it on to The Yum List because of the rude waiter who told me, “Taking photos is absolutely forbidden!” in his best growly voice. However, I love their food and their concept of natural, fresh and ready food. At least by …
This has to be one of the prettiest places to eat in Perth. I’ve heard mixed reviews about the service and food but the day I went I enjoyed a fabulously fresh and tasty salad, friendly service and stunning views. Coffee is good but not special. http://www.fra…
This coffee place, a few minutes south of Margaret River town, has some tasty coffee blends. You can taste test a number of varieties and can even make up your own blend. Their Espresso, Outback and X-Rated blends were my favourites. Sporting the Fair Trade label an…
