There was no air of pretense at Ngam in Bangsar when I stepped in for a casual dinner session last week. The setup is basic, almost no frills, and the menu is straightforward and honest. I will admit though, the decor played no part in my interest towards Ngam. It…

I love a good beef burger – a simple one, juicy and nicely browned all over, with just a bit of seasoning to allow me to enjoy the essence of the beefiness. But I love more is a jazzed up version, with cheese, egg, bacon and even better, an additional…
When I learnt about Eat Me several months ago, I was excited for Joey of Killer Gourmet Burgers. It was her dream to open a cafe to showcase her penchant for desserts. Eat Me opens today at 5pm in Bangsar, just next to KGB, and I was invited to a…
I used to order cocktails when I dine at restaurants but these days, I get my fix at a cocktail bar such as SIX Bangsar. Reason being, a restaurant is more likely to serve you a less stellar cocktail than a bar that specialises in cocktails. Cocktails to me, can…

Brunches and Hi-Teas have become a favourite of mine, given how weekends are now (very) precious to me and I want to enjoy them as best possible. On days we don’t host friends over for brunches, rif and I try to go out for leisurely brunches – often with good…
I’ve lived in Bangsar almost all my life – having moved to the neighbourhood when I was two – hence the name “Bangsar Babe”. The area has changed tremendously ever since; shops come and go, and some relocated to a different street. Like Devi’s Corner. Rocky Restaurant is one of…
Everyone (usually) has a default place they would go to when they crave a particular comfort food. For me, it’s Senjyu in Bangsar Village whenever I crave a hearty bento. I’ve been a regular at the Bangsar outlet for more than 3 years because service has been good. It makes…
