Food and luxury travel - Malaysia and the world
Acme Bar & Coffee is the shiny new place on the ground floor of the Troika. The chic, stylish ambience and attentive service alone make it worth a visit. The food, most importantly, is good too (at least Wednesday’s set meal was). The lunch menu changes da…
Going from my healthiest meal for 2012 at Living Food posted yesterday right on to the unhealthiest but equally tasty at Soo Kee today. Well known by locals as one of the best char siew places in KL the evening we visited we saw this dish on every table. My […]
What a delightful surprise to find Kampung Malay in the quite suburb of Mudgeeraba on the Gold Coast. Just when we thought we had reached the top of food heaven with the high quality produce and excellent wine in Australia we were directed to this local hot spot. Pack…
This is a very quick post on Bistro 42 as I’m yet to eat an entire meal here, just desserts. As with the rest of the Big Group restaurants the setting is well designed and a delight to wile away a few hours. This post though is principally about the […]
Makan Kitchen, in the Double Tree Hilton, is an ideal place to take guests who are only in town for a short time. You can experience Chinese, Malay, and Indian cuisine all in one spot and not worry about unaccustomed guests’ tummies adjusting to the local bugs …
Souled Out Ampang makes it to The Yum List for their uber friendly service. There are few places around KL that try so hard. The staff are energized and do their best to make sure that you have an enjoyable evening. The ambience, in one word, is happy. Food here i…

Muar is a town about half way between Kuala Lumpur and Johor known for its delicious local variations of Chinese and Malay dishes. Restoran Muar, just off Changkat Bukit Bintang, offers a chance to try some specialities from this region right here KL. IR…
Food on Five is not your ordinary food court. This very upscale sampling of gourmet cuisine showcases some of the best known names in Sydney and from around the world. Dumplings from Din Tai Fung should be on your hit list… but so should… pasta, yog…
By Elizabeth Kendle We enjoyed dinner at Nahm Restaurant Bangkok immensely. We selected the chicken salad from the yum (salad) menu and it was nicely balanced. Out of the curries, we chose the green beef rib curry and it was so spicy and rich but mere male said it was […]
The best tiramisu in town can be found at the newly renovated Alexis Bistro & Wine Bar Ampang. It is sprinkled with caramelized nuts that are yummy enough as a dessert all on their own. The rest of the menu, although a bit pricey for the portion size, has been […]
