Time Out KL Food Awards 2011
Sorry for the hiatus! I’ve been busy playing tour guide this past one week, settling into my new environment at rif’s place and alternating between the two homes. Anyway, I managed to squeeze some time to attend the Time Out KL Food Awards 2011 last week and here are the winners and shortlisted.
