So it’s clear from the beginning – I love macarons! For me it’s all about a perfect combination of crispy, chewy and gooey. But, being THE sweet of the moment, KL is flooded with them and they’re not all praiseworthy. Too many just donR…

Bread fans will delight in this week’s find, White Brick Oven Bakery in Sungai Buloh. The owners, Mardia and Mustaffa, are a lovely Malay/ British couple living a simple life in Kubu Gajah. You would never guess that their humble abode is the source of …
Sudu Christmas Buffet, Hotel Hilton, KL Sentral, Malaysia
I’m enjoying what big hotels are doing with buffets these days. It seems that smaller portions replenished more often has become the trend. I’m hoping this also means less waste, but it definitely means fresher food. Sudu, in the Hilton at KL S…
Millesime, Solaris Dutamas, Malaysia
There are three excellent reasons to dine at Millesime – exquisite food, exceptional service and an exemplary wine cellar. With subtle signage Millesime is located indiscriminately in the petroleum offices of Solaris Dutamas and the frontage gives no i…
Afternoon Tea at Carcosa Seri Negara, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
There are many places around KL that that serve a pleasant afternoon tea, but in terms of atmosphere, Carcosa Seri Negara is one of the most elegant. Located in a refurbished colonial building, Carcosa is surrounded by manicured lawns and well groomed gardens. Bo…

I feel as though I’ve hit the food jackpot with this week’s find! Sushi Heng in Subang Jaya has to be at the top of this year’s Yum List discoveries. Located very humbly in the enormous Asia Cafe food court, you would never guess that an internatio…

Edo Ichi, Solaris Dutamas, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Gyu Suji Omelette Yaki Gyouza Yaki Soba Tofu Steak Not to my taste, but something I haven’t seen before – tempura batter bits served as a snack. My Japanese cuisine repertoire is somewhat limited to sushi, sashimi, soba, curry, shabu shabu, teppanya…
Tate, The Intermark, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
The entrance. Look for the hat. Yes that is a pole at the end of the table. We were assured though that it’s not THAT type of bar. Lots of comfy loungy seating and a little standing room. Besides the lively Mexican tunes, Patron was the star of the evening. […]
B.I.G Ben’s Independent Grocers, Solaris Dutamas, Malaysia
Not your usual supermarket entrance. Yep, you can get live Christmas trees. Botanical, my favourite section – fresh produce – and you can’t get any fresher than picking your own hydroponic lettuce! Bloom – live florist. Fun, fr…
Damas Sweets, Ampang Point, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Damas Sweets is managed by a lovely Syrian man and his boys who bake all of the goodies on site. With at least 20 different types of Syrian pastries it’s hard to choose just one. Who said you had to do that anyway? I’ve happily sampled at least ten. I’…
