Tiki Taka is a new kid on the Medan Damansara block and one that has plenty to offer. This tapas spot allows you to sample their menu in small plates so you get to try more in one seating. I’ve been there three times in less than a month –…

AQUA at Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur is the latest addition to the hotel’s range of F&B offerings – an al fresco setup for a relaxed dining experience overlooking the city skyline.
