Gourmet luxury travel - Malaysia and the world
This is a very quick post on Bistro 42 as I’m yet to eat an entire meal here, just desserts. As with the rest of the Big Group restaurants the setting is well designed and a delight to wile away a few hours. This post though is principally about the […]
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…
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…
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…
Nerovivo is one of my all time favourite Italian spots in KL. The original of the Nero trio, I’m always happy with the variety of dishes on the menu and quality of produce. I love the chic interior and outdoor seating areas, sleek bar and comfy waiting area. You …

Before I begin, I have to confess I know very little about Indian food other than my habitual orders of naan, butter chicken, tandoori chicken and palak paneer. The menu at Sangeetha is full of names I didn’t recognize so I ended up ordering from the pictures (…
Prego remains one of my all time favourite places to dine in KL. The number one reason for the high ranking is the service. Although a few lovely wait staff have come and been snatched up by other establishments over the years, there is still a significant numb…
The Mandarin Grill & Bar doesn’t usually serve breakfast. For the last month however, the regular breakfast location for the hotel, Biba’s Cafe, has been undergoing renovations. Don’t miss the chance to have brekky in this beautif…
Come for coffee! ‘F’ by Buffalo Kitchens really know what they’re doing when it comes to making a great cup. They use a winning blend of beans from Taiwan’s top barista and the crema is perfect. It is well worth the visit for a regular l…
