Gourmet luxury travel - Malaysia and the world
Norton St. in Leichhardt is the place to go for a good selection of Italian food in Sydney. It seems the whole street is bejewelled with both cosy and stylish eateries. We couldn’t get into the hot pick for the week as it was Saturday night so, drawn in by […]
Ciao Ristorante is a surprising find off the busy road of Kampung Pandan. Once inside it’s hard to believe there’s a stream of heavy traffic just meters away. Ciao backs onto the Royal Selangor Golf Club, so the views from the large restaurant win…
Giovino Wine Shop Restaurant serves up hearty Greek and Italian meals. I’ve been here both for private functions in the upstairs area and for dinner. Both times I enjoyed the Greek antipasto plate. Both times I filled myself on these tapas and didn’…
We arrived in the gorgeous city of San Francisco in time for a late dinner and authentic Italian meal at Steps of Rome Caffe. We ordered a simple meal including brushcetta, salad and pasta. The bruschetta was fresh and seasoned just right on lovely, hearty Italian b…
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…

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…
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 …
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…
This place has great coffee, without the drugs associated with all of the “coffee shops” along that street. They have a beautiful coffee machine (but they would not allow me to photograph it). Sandwiches and pastries are fine, but you go here for the I…
