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…
Steak
Steak is something I take very seriously and while I have my default steakhouses to visit in town, I’m also open to new suggestions from fans and friends. When I last wrote about the dry-aged beef at my favourite steakhouse, I got quite a few messages from readers telling me…
Everyone knows how much I love my meats, especially steaks. It’s no secret that my default for a great night out involves beef or steak in some form and while we’re on the subject of steaks, let’s dwell a little on the best steak place in town in my opinion…
I’ve always pegged Pampas Reserve as a happy hour joint – the drinks are reasonable and it’s located right smack in the middle of Kuala Lumpur. Suasana Bukit Ceylon to be exact. What I didn’t realise was they also serve steak, which I pleasantly discovered last week when Jien took…

Mention Qba and I would automatically think “grill” and “Latin America”, which isn’t too far off since this open concept restaurant in The Westin Kuala Lumpur echoes what Cuban cuisine is about – vibrant flavours and vivid seasoning. It’s been more than two years since my last visit and while…
rif and I try to make sure we go for date nights at least once a fortnight despite our busy schedules, though we sometimes miss out because of work/blog commitments. We both decided on Maria’s Steak Café in Bangsar on our recent date night because it was one of the…
What do you enjoy eating when you’re feeling blue? There are many items I crave when things don’t go my way, including a nice big slab of ribeye – wagyu preferably. That was exactly what I got when I checked out the new Mandarin Grill menu at Mandarin Oriental Kuala…
It wasn’t easy getting a table at the esteemed Dinner by Heston Blumenthal in Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park London, one of the world’s most celebrated restaurants. The menu is modern, inspired by the history of The Royal Courts of Britain dated back to the 13th century, and the essence captured…
