Gourmet luxury travel - Malaysia and the world
A quiet, refined dining area at the back of the retail section of Harrod’s is the best place in KL to enjoy traditional English roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. For 50RM you get three generous slices of tender beef, plenty of gravy and veggies and a perfectly …
After having such an exciting run of finding yummy places in KL, I’ve come to another disappointing week of very average food and settings. THREE restaurants visited this week, all in FIVE star hotels, NONE make The Yum List. When you pay top prices you expec…
YUM! I only discovered this bakery last Saturday and I’ve already visited three times. This cafe-bakery has a mix of Asian style sweet, light breads with an assortment of fillings as well as some French style breads – hearty, crusty, chewy. Loved the …
By Karyn Wynn You might think that in the isolation of a small Alaskan island like Sitka, amidst the abundance of trees and wildlife, you would be hard-pressed to find culinary offerings other than what you can catch with your own two hands. An evening at the town…
Suzie’s Corner is known for its tender, melt-in-your-mouth steaks, especially the New Zealand cuts of tenderloin. Your steak comes out sizzling on a bbq plate with a side of fries and veggies. (Still learning to use this camera so didn’t get a good st…
Nerovivo has been consistently good since opening, even with a change in ownership (a quality rare to find in KL). All things Italian can be found here, including the chef. I enjoy visiting this place for lunch during the week, or Friday and Saturday nights, when th…

Sao Nam Tengat Tong Shin is a funky little Vietnamese restaurant just off the main drag of Changkit Bukit Bintang serving food from the south. You can expect to find fresh ingredients and friendly service in this cosy establishment. Personal favourites are mango…
Neroteca is one of my favourite restaurants in KL. The food and service are consistent (which is hard to find in Malaysia). Salads, sandwiches, pasta, pizzas, cold cuts, great meat dishes – it’s all good. The wonderful thing about this place is that i…
Basil Leaf is a great place for lunch. Their set meals are real bargains including a starter, choice of main, dessert and bottomless lemongrass tea from 20 – 25RM. Their curries are particularly tasty and anything they make with coconut milk goes down very w…
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…
Who knew Danish pastries and breads were soooo good?! I didn’t until I visited Lagkagehuset bakery in Copenhagen. My eyes have been opened to a whole new world of treats. Buttercake… mmm… ryebread… aaah. Their sandwiches and coffee ar…
