Things To Eat in Kuala Lumpur
If there’s one thing that differentiates Jien and I, it would be our sense of adventure when it comes to food. While we tend to go for similar dishes, our choice of restaurants are for from the same. Wizards at Tribeca is one of them — he’s been wanting to…
Weekend brunching is a pretty big deal for us KL-ites; a time to get together with family and friends, or to nurse a hangover from the night before. And brunch is usually divided into two categories – Western brunching of eggs, bacon and coffee, or Chinese brunching of dim sum…
