Gourmet luxury travel - Malaysia and the world
There are three excellent reasons to dine at Millesime – exquisite food, exceptional service and an exemplary wine cellar. With subtle signage Millesime is located indiscriminately in the petroleum offices of Solaris Dutamas and the frontage gives no i…
There are many places around KL that that serve a pleasant afternoon tea, but in terms of atmosphere, Carcosa Seri Negara is one of the most elegant. Located in a refurbished colonial building, Carcosa is surrounded by manicured lawns and well groomed gardens. Bo…
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 […]

Damas Sweets is managed by a lovely Syrian man and his boys who bake all of the goodies on site. With at least 20 different types of Syrian pastries it’s hard to choose just one. Who said you had to do that anyway? I’ve happily sampled at least ten. I’…
The Origin, the latest vegetarian restaurant in town, could possibly be the best thing to hit Ampang this year. A fully vegetarian menu is the highlight with lots of organic ingredients, no genetically modified products, a focus on locally sourced produce and of …
Local buddies might say I’m crazy to pay 26RM for noodles in Malaysia. These ones were really good though! Luk Yu Tea House in Starhill Gallery serves some mighty fine Chinese cuisine. What’s more, it’s air conditioned, clean and beaut…
The Raw Coffee Bar at Food Haven is the perfect place to fulfill your caffeine needs. Raw coffee along with their associated machines and baristas seem to be one of the best things to hit the KL coffee scene this year. Located in numerous outlets around Ampang you can …
