When Jien and I built our home, we insisted on an additional floor for a wine lounge and bar – so we can enjoy happy hour at home and host friends over whenever we like.

When our regular Thai restaurant closed down due to the pandemic, Jien and I were left without a go-to place when our craving for Thai food kicked in. We spent a good year or so looking for a worthy replacement and Simply Thai in Happy Garden hits most of the…

Puchong Mess aka Puchong Chettinad Mess is nestled on the first floor along a row of shop lots in Bandar Puteri Puchong – not that easy to find but plug in “Chakra Catering Services” on Waze and it will point you to the right direction. This place has been on…
