Brunch

Kouign amann is quite possibly my favourite pastry to eat – if I could only pick one. Think of it as a denser version of croissant that’s caramelised with plenty of sugar and salted butter. Hence the name “kouign-amann”, French for butter and cake. One can find a pretty decent…

It took me two visits and one takeaway meal from Yi Feng Restaurant in OUG before I can write what I opine about this establishment. A Chinese version (read: non-halal) of a Malaysian kopitiam so expect hawker favourites like wantan noodle with char siew and siew yuk, and pastries with…

My first Croisserie experience was when my friend Wendy sent a bag of assorted pastries to my office – it had all my favourite things to eat inside: croissant, kouign amann, curry donut, canelé and pain au chocolate. Jien and I paid the Damansara Heights outlet a visit the following…

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…

BLONDE at Republik in Damansara Heights is the latest addition to the Serai Group, said to serve “fine comfort food” with hints of Asian flavours. It has been quite the rage on social media, to a point Jien insisted we gave it a shot. I was admittedly hesitant. Especially after…

My second attempt to dine at Sunbather Coffee at The Sphere in Bangsar South required effort. We had a good experience at the café first time around and wanted to return to check out more of what they have to offer. Alas, there was an issue with electricity and they…

My first Mr. Ho dining experience was with Jien, who took me there for my 18th birthday back when they had a restaurant in Mid Valley. I remember enjoying the pork chop with potatoes and sauerkraut – and it was the first of the many food places Jien introduced to…

The Retox Brunch at Flock in W Kuala Lumpur is just the perfect place for those seeking something fun and vivacious. Available every first Sunday of each month, I think this might just be one of the best buffet brunches available in the city. Price-wise and food-wise. Of course, I…

Masala Wheels was in my food radar just recently, when we drove past the restaurant after our lunch at my favourite banana leaf joint nearby. I spotted quite a number of people dining under the large tree across the restaurant, which prompted me to list the restaurant down in my…

If there’s one thing that differentiates Jien and I, it would be our sense of adventure when it comes to food. While we tend to go for similar dishes, our choice of restaurants are for from the same. Wizards at Tribeca is one of them — he’s been wanting to…
