Gourmet luxury travel - Malaysia and the world
As usual a trip home to the Gold Coast is filled with the great outdoors, plenty of wine quaffing and fabulous food. On the ‘good things to eat’ side Black Coffee Lyrics was recommended by a number of locals. A funky cafe, located upstairs in a run down ar…
Lady Gaga cake – just an inkling into the creative genius of owners Nigel and Allan. Take your taste buds on a wild adventure with this seemingly innocent cocoa lump – smooth chocolate coating with a hint of chili hiding one of their best sellers –…
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…
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 […]
Recently I discovered I’ve become quite the coffee snoot and am increasingly difficult to please where my java is concerned. Fortunately, a fellow coffee snob recommended Tutmak in Ubud to fulfill my caffeine needs. They roast their beans daily and very m…
Busy, busy, busy! Cafe Beachstone is popular on the weekends. The huge open grassy spaces and playground make it an ideal location for families with young children. Mum and dad can enjoy a yummy all-day breakfast while the kids can go wild on the grass and play equip…

The Coffee Club, on Nepean River in Penrith, is a lovely place for breakfast. Sit outside to enjoy the greenery and go for a stroll along the river after your meal. The all-day breakfast ranges from the classic bacon, eggs, tomato and toast, to eggs benedict wit…
Twisted Sista Cafe is so awesome I would drive every day from the Gold Coast to Byron Bay just for lunch and coffee if my family didn’t protest about the long absences. I might even consider staying at Byron rather than the Coast just for this cafe. Twisted Sist…
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…
Shame the camera batteries died for this one. Food is really decent here. Stoop & Stoop is amongst seemingly endless strips of restaurants trying to catch tourists. It was the busiest place on the block, filled with what we assumed were locals. The food was fil…
Okay, this cafe nearly did not make it on to The Yum List because of the rude waiter who told me, “Taking photos is absolutely forbidden!” in his best growly voice. However, I love their food and their concept of natural, fresh and ready food. At least by …
