“Malaysians love to eat.” Okay, that’s an understatement. “Malaysians live to eat” sounds more like it. Which explains why many hotels have buffet to cater to the high demand. That said, not all buffets are worth trying as most go for quantity rather than quality. The Sunday Roast at The…
As mentioned in my post yesterday, here’s a post on my experience at the Lagoon Suite, which rif and I stayed at just for one night. The most luxurious of accommodations in Club Med Kani, there are 75 suites in this 5 Trident Space. Each Lagoon Suite boasts a breathtaking…

My September and most of October were spent looking into wedding details, making difficult choices and going through various gown fittings (thanks to the bridal studio that lost my wedding gown). On top of that, we were suddenly left without a hen’s night venue and beers for the ROM and…
I enjoyed the recent Indulgence Series with Chef Nicolas Isnard at 7atenine, so when Jimmy and Marc invited me to the oyster soiree event at the same venue, I happily accepted. Guests were treated to a free-flow of Nicolas Feuillatte champagne, oysters from Southern Rock Seafood and a fashion show…
This year, my birthday was quiet but memorable. I’ve been celebrating it with a few people on different days starting with a good friend last Friday.
