Lyrical Lemongrass writes: Aliyaa holds many memories for me –  memories of sharing a birthday celebration a couple of years ago with two special people in my life (with an FBB-created pavlova, no less), memories of being surprised with a gorgeous set of sushi cakes, and memories of meeting certain people for the first time there and enjoying friendships that have lasted thus far.  There are other memories, but some are best kept within the confines of the four walls and staircase.  Ah, it is a hard task to be secret-keeper and friend, especially when the white page of my blog beckons.  My loyalty, ...

Wilson Ng writes: Tresor Casino De Bariloche, Patagonia, ARGENTINA Casinos are everywhere in Argentina. Almost in every town we visited. One of the most memorable casino out of all I visited in Argentina was the Tresor Casino De Bariloche in the lovely city of Bariloche, Patagonia. Out of the few places that I fell in love in Argentina, Bariloche is one of them. I wish I could own one of the apartment to stay there during summer or even winter.

That's my conclusion anyway, after our latest encounter with street miang.In from of the wonderful morning market in Lampang, a sleepy town about an hour south of Chiang Mai, we found two versions of classic Thai miang kham (peanuts, lime, ginger, sweet chili sauce, et all wrapped in wild pepper leaves) -- one made with blanched leaves, the other with fresh. Three hours east of Lampang in Nan, capital of the Lao-bordering Thai province of the same name, we ate miang made with pickled cabbage leaves filled with fried pork skin, chilies, peanuts, ...

bangsar-babe writes: Some people prefer calling restaurants beforehand to secure a good table, while others enjoy trying their luck as walk in customers. rif belongs to the first category. I generally can’t be bothered to call the restaurant, unless it is an important date or when I’m dining in a large group. It was his sister’s birthday, so it made sense to call Khuntai and book ahead. We called twice. First to secure the table inside the restaurant, and later on, to confirm the time -- 7.30pm....

boo_licious writes: regulars dominate the sake bottles, the main man of Sumi-KaLife wouldn't be the same for this blog and its owner (that's me!), if I'm without my weekly dosage of Japanese cuisine. I honestly reckon I can eat Japanese food day in day out, if the wallet permits. Luckily our former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir did me the greatest favour long ago when he started his Look East policy as it meant Japanese companies set up business here, which sparked off the migration of Japanese cuisine here.cabbage salad, chewy ...
