Nero Nero in DC Mall is a recommendation from a friend who has a fairly discerning palate when it comes to good food; Italian especially. Jien and I had a rather enjoyable lunch the first time around so we returned soon after with our firstborn in tow. I reckon many…

Basil Pasta House in Kuchai Lama isn’t difficult to miss – with green fluorescent signage and large font, and décor that doesn’t quite scream Italian. But it’s always a full house, day and night. Friends have said good things about the place, citing “good value” and “hearty portions” as to…
I first visited Silverspoon (Ken’s Café back then) in Kepong back in 2005 when it was just a fuss-free Italian restaurant. rif took me there for one of our date nights and back then, the setup was basic but food was really hearty and made with love. When Chef Ken…
Favola at Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur hasn’t received the recognition it deserves, despite being around for a good 5 years or more. It is one of the better Italian restaurants by hotel standards and one that I frequented for hearty seafood pasta and fresh bread rolls, which my late mother…
Portofino in Bangsar happens to be one of the Italian restaurants I frequent – clearly because of the location and mostly because I like the ambiance and food. Pricing is reasonable considering the location and service on most of my visits have been consistent. The upper floor is spacious, allowing…
I remember my days in publishing where I had to review as many as 10 restaurants every month for the food section of the magazine. That, on top of what I was doing for Bangsarbabe.com. While I decide on the content for my blog, it’s not the same when it…
Hit & Mrs has a lot more to offer than just food – it is an experience that combines modern cuisine, classic ambiance and a whole lot of passion. This spot in Bangsar focuses on creative European cuisine, helmed by Chef Keith Choong. The restaurant sits on the ground floor…
When it comes to soup, I have always preferred something robustly flavoured over the clearer variety. And the spicy seafood soup was what I opted for at Sami Sami, Ayana Resort Bali. Prior to dinner, my friends and I enjoyed an evening of breathtaking view and cocktails at Rock Bar…
In Beijing, I ate very well. I had a good friend who took me around during my stay and he made sure I had plenty to eat and drink. He even brought me to Opera Bombana, a new restaurant concept by the renowned Chef Umberto Bombana in Parkview Green Mall.…
La Cucina at Pullman Bangsar serves one of the best Italian meals I’ve tried in Klang Valley. I say that because the chef managed to incorporate the “flavours of Italy” into his dishes, without even using pork. Now that’s something. The menu has a good selection per category and I…
