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…

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,…

At Say Cheese Café in Bukit Jalil, one will spot the pork chop with cheese lava at almost every table – a thick and juicy slab of pork chop, flame-grilled tableside and cloaked with melted mozzarella for that wow factor. It is also the main reason why Jien wanted to…

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…
