My craving for Vietnamese food is sporadic – it’s not my favourite cuisine per se but when the craving hits, it can last for weeks. Sometimes months. And during one of those “days”, Jien and I visited Banh Mi Café in Taman Desa; said to be the home of fresh…

I’ve heard plenty of good things about Aftermeal Desserts in Damansara Utama – it’s said to be a go-to spot if you’re a fan of shaved iced treats. I know of some friends who would make their weekly pilgrimage to this dessert spot after dinner, so I had fairly high…
When I first arrived in the UK for my post-graduate studies, my uni mates would rave about how amazing the roast duck in London is – that they would eat it every weekend without fail. Back then, it was also one of the more affordable dining out option for students,…
When fried chicken is involved, Taiwanese fried chicken isn’t top of my list because I find the flavours a tad one-note from my visits to different parts of Taiwan, including Taipei city.

Petaling Street has become a hot spot for coffee and café hops in the last few years, to a point parking is a nightmare and the queues never seem to end. Jien and I found ourselves in the vicinity last month, when we were on a hunt for a Christmas…
I came across Da De Bak Kut Teh in SS14 Subang by chance, when I was on my way back from Penang after a work assignment. I was craving bak kut teh and Da De was one of the few options that were open that late at night. Since it…
