Gourmet luxury travel - Malaysia and the world
Makan Kitchen, in the Double Tree Hilton, is an ideal place to take guests who are only in town for a short time. You can experience Chinese, Malay, and Indian cuisine all in one spot and not worry about unaccustomed guests’ tummies adjusting to the local bugs …
Souled Out Ampang makes it to The Yum List for their uber friendly service. There are few places around KL that try so hard. The staff are energized and do their best to make sure that you have an enjoyable evening. The ambience, in one word, is happy. Food here i…
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…
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 …

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…
What I love about Hakka Republic are the garden views, stylish interior (designed by an award winning architect) and the awe inspiring wine menu. Executive Director, Sue Lim Siok Chin, is an expert in old world wines and, taking full advantage of her expertise, ev…
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 […]
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…
