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&#…
Ribs and wine – one stop – at Ribs by Vintry, Damansara Heights. A relaxed atmosphere (yes please do eat your ribs with your fingers letting the sauce drip down to your elbows and a sticky tongue dabbing ring of sauce develop around your lips and up to you…
Passage Thru India is a fun place to take visitors. The restaurant is made of many little rooms each decorated heavily with lanterns, wall hangings, wood carvings, pots and mirrors. It is a kaleidoscope of colours and mismatch. The food is delicious and offers a ra…
Eco Cafe in Desa Pandan is a great little find. Although the items on the menu didn’t grab my attention, the fresh fruit and veg stall selling locally grown organic produce certainly did. Passionfruit, bananas and mini papaya all seem so much sweeter and jui…
Lafite is supposedly one of the best restaurants in Malaysia. Every couple of years the chefs change and you are up for a new treat. The current menu offers European food with a slight twist. The thing that doesn’t change here though is the excellent service. …
I have a new favourite place in KL! Tanzini – located on top of the G Tower in Tun Razak, is part of KL’s first green hotel. The hotel itself is green and smart designed to conserve energy and reduce impact on the environment while maintaining a high level …
Purple Cane Tea Restaurant is one of my favourite places to take guests visiting Malaysia. The food is Chinese style, however, most dishes are cooked in a tea broth making them lighter and less greasy than many traditional places. Every time I’ve been the fo…
Vin’s restaurant and bar is worth the drive all the way over to TTDI from Ampang. Actually, on the DUKE it only took us about 20 minutes door to door and the restaurant is easy to find. Recently opened, Vin’s has a nice neighbourhood feel and sells hearty …
Espressamente Illy serves a decent cup of coffee. A truly great cup of coffee has been difficult to find in Malaysia so I’m very pleased to finally post some good coffee news. Drinks here are more expensive than average, but sometimes to get a good cup you have …
What a great place to have an afternoon or early evening drink! Carmen’s Vinothek in Changkat Bukit Bintang has 4 hours of Happy Hour every day from 5 – 9pm. Two glasses of wine for 25RM is not a bad deal in the centre of KL. There is an enticing […]
