Food and luxury travel - Malaysia and the world
Jarrod & Rawlins, most definitely non-halal, serving a small but good selection of wines and gourmet sausages is a great place to satisfy your pork and liquor cravings. Their deli offers a quality choice of cheeses, charcuterie and antipasti. Hubby canR…
That magical hour when daylight fades and night begins is the perfect time to visit The Apartment at KLCC Suria. If you’re just a few and don’t mind the heat there is a small balcony upstairs overlooking the KLCC water fountains and park. If you need the …
Modern Australian cuisine. Love the design – especially the paint can lights, wooden tables and funky red stools. Excellent service. Don’t miss their version of gnocchi – spinach and ricotta dumplings with a sweet smooth pumpkin sauce. Mmm…
Spasso Milano is another nice find on the Ampang side of town. Little gems amongst the rats and grot of Ampang are starting to pop up (it’s about time) and I’m pleased to say that Spasso Milano is one of them. Recently opened towards the end of 2010, this r…
Knowing that I’m always on the search for great coffee in KL a friend introduced me to Le Passione Cafe in Hartamas Shopping Centre. Success! Run by some Aussies they take their coffee making seriously and import their own blend of Brazilian beans. I’…

Ribs and wine – one stop – at Ribs by Vintry, Damansara Heights. A relaxed atmosphere (yes please do eat your ribs with your fingers letting the sauce drip down to your elbows and a sticky tongue dabbing ring of sauce develop around your lips and up to you…
Squished into an oddly shaped shop lot and off the main drag in a laneway leading to the carpark between Myer and Kmart at Pac Fair, you might wonder how Choclicious stays in business. But then… you taste their handmade chocolates and soon see why the place is s…
Passage Thru India is a fun place to take visitors. The restaurant is made of many little rooms each decorated heavily with lanterns, wall hangings, wood carvings, pots and mirrors. It is a kaleidoscope of colours and mismatch. The food is delicious and offers a ra…
I have a real sweet tooth, and the smooth textured, ‘slowly dissipate in your mouth and have sweet dreams’ fudge from Fudge Heaven on Mt. Tamborine, is probably one of the few things that can truly satisfy it. If you’re watching calories stay we…
Eco Cafe in Desa Pandan is a great little find. Although the items on the menu didn’t grab my attention, the fresh fruit and veg stall selling locally grown organic produce certainly did. Passionfruit, bananas and mini papaya all seem so much sweeter and jui…
