Gourmet luxury travel - Malaysia and the world
Entering Pietro Ristorante Italiano you are greeted by a clean smart interior, long open bar and gentle Italian tunes serenading the background. Although a large area, there are sufficient nooks, corners, upstairs and private rooms for you to find a space to sui…
Antipodean came highly recommended by friends as a cafe to happily pass a morning in Bangsar. If you ignore the view from the window you could easily believe you were in a sophisticated nook in Melbourne or Sydney. The cool sharp setting with staff uniformed in blac…
Acme Bar & Coffee is the shiny new place on the ground floor of the Troika. The chic, stylish ambience and attentive service alone make it worth a visit. The food, most importantly, is good too (at least Wednesday’s set meal was). The lunch menu changes da…
Going from my healthiest meal for 2012 at Living Food posted yesterday right on to the unhealthiest but equally tasty at Soo Kee today. Well known by locals as one of the best char siew places in KL the evening we visited we saw this dish on every table. My […]

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’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…
