Ben’s is an affable place to meet friends in the KLCC area. Located in California Pizza Kitchen’s old spot, its simple design, large windows overlooking KLCC park and fountain, and comfortable oversized seating spur conversations t…

Arthur’s Bar & Grill, Shangri-La Hotel, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
If I could afford to drink every glass of wine outside my home I might just do quite a bit of that sipping at Arthur’s Bar & Grill. I’d walk straight through the first section – even though there’s a big screen for live sports watching, a…
Earth Food, Ampang Hilir, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Earth Food has moved! Just down the road from their old location, their soft launch was last Friday. These guys are having to start all over again with renovations and gardens and sorting out all of those kinks that go with getting a new business off the ground…
Launch of new wheat beers, Weissbrau German Bistro & Bar, Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Beer and pork lovers alike will not be disappointed again at Weissbrau with the launch of three new wheat beers and whiskey. The pork knuckle and sausages are impressive in taste and in serving size. I think the saying of “eat your veges to grow up big an…
Real and Wholesome (RAW), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
For a place that serves such delightful coffee and scrumptious refection I’d expect to see more people here on a weekend. I’m told though that during the week it gets quite busy serving office workers in the area. Real and Wholesome is a lovely place fo…
Rogue Beer Launch, Craft Brews, Mutiara Damansara, Malaysia
Just when I thought my palate could be stretched no further, along came Craft Brews and the launch of Rogue beers to challenge that assumption. Not a frequent beer drinker, my taste buds were confused with a Chocolate Stout, Mocha Porter and Hazelnut Brown Nectar. …
Restoran Thai Somtam Seafood, Changkat Bukit Bintang, Malaysia
Restoran Thai Somtam Seafood was recommended by a Thai friend who says this is the most authentic Thai food she has found in Malaysia. Frequented by Thai working ladies in the evening, the daytime atmosphere is a little more wholesome. I will be sure to follo…
Sangeetha Vegetarian Restaurant
Before I begin, I have to confess I know very little about Indian food other than my habitual orders of naan, butter chicken, tandoori chicken and palak paneer. The menu at Sangeetha is full of names I didn’t recognize so I ended up ordering from the pictures (…
Neroteca, Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Neroteca, on the ground floor of the Somerset building in Changkat Bukit Bintang, is another Italian favourite. I’ve not once had a disappointing meal or service here. Everything is tasty and they take full advantage of being non-halal with …
Prego, Westin Hotel, Bukit Bintang, Malaysia
Prego remains one of my all time favourite places to dine in KL. The number one reason for the high ranking is the service. Although a few lovely wait staff have come and been snatched up by other establishments over the years, there is still a significant numb…
El Meson, Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Come to El Meson in Bangsar for delicious Spanish food. You must order the paella Valenciana, any rabbit dish (conejo) and Iberian ham (jamon Iberico). The rest of the menu is good too, including a decent selection of tapas, but the above three dishes are unfor…
Breakfast at Mandarin Grill, KLCC, Malaysia
The Mandarin Grill & Bar doesn’t usually serve breakfast. For the last month however, the regular breakfast location for the hotel, Biba’s Cafe, has been undergoing renovations. Don’t miss the chance to have brekky in this beautif…
