Food and luxury travel - Malaysia and the world
This cafe was a great little find in Jalan Ipoh. It is a cross between a cafe and a stall – yummy food, good prices, open-air feel, but a cleaner and greener environment. The menu offers Chinese and western food with some interesting creations. The dry noodles …
Sao Nam Tengat Tong Shin is a funky little Vietnamese restaurant just off the main drag of Changkit Bukit Bintang serving food from the south. You can expect to find fresh ingredients and friendly service in this cosy establishment. Personal favourites are mango…
Neroteca is one of my favourite restaurants in KL. The food and service are consistent (which is hard to find in Malaysia). Salads, sandwiches, pasta, pizzas, cold cuts, great meat dishes – it’s all good. The wonderful thing about this place is that i…
Basil Leaf is a great place for lunch. Their set meals are real bargains including a starter, choice of main, dessert and bottomless lemongrass tea from 20 – 25RM. Their curries are particularly tasty and anything they make with coconut milk goes down very w…
Marmalade is one of my favourite lunch places in KL. Their menu features a variety of fresh salads, sandwiches and light meals. I love that you can get “wholemeal” banana pancakes for breakfast, they have skim milk if you so choose for your coffee and t…
Who knew Danish pastries and breads were soooo good?! I didn’t until I visited Lagkagehuset bakery in Copenhagen. My eyes have been opened to a whole new world of treats. Buttercake… mmm… ryebread… aaah. Their sandwiches and coffee ar…
Shame the camera batteries died for this one. Food is really decent here. Stoop & Stoop is amongst seemingly endless strips of restaurants trying to catch tourists. It was the busiest place on the block, filled with what we assumed were locals. The food was fil…
This place has great coffee, without the drugs associated with all of the “coffee shops” along that street. They have a beautiful coffee machine (but they would not allow me to photograph it). Sandwiches and pastries are fine, but you go here for the I…
This place is in a convenient location to watch the crowds flock by the main square. They offer a set lunch menu which is quite good value for the location. The service is friendly and it is a good place to try Flemish beef stew. Portions are medium sized – […]
One of the many treats worth trying in Brussels is the infamous waffle. There is no need to go with all of the excessive toppings that interfere with the flavour of the already divine dough below. Try a straight up waffle from Elizabeth’s on Rue au Beurre. Ther…
Okay, this cafe nearly did not make it on to The Yum List because of the rude waiter who told me, “Taking photos is absolutely forbidden!” in his best growly voice. However, I love their food and their concept of natural, fresh and ready food. At least by …
Lots of different Middle Eastern treats can be found at this patisserie. It is a nice change from the overwhelming amount of chocolate shops in Brussels city centre. They have just about every sweet from the orient that you can imagine. Worth a taste. Rose Damas Pat…
