myfoodsirens writes: The original plan was to have dinner at Sugisawa Japanese restaurant but their heck care attitude drove us to neighbour Mondo Mio. I walked in without any expectations and was surprised by how much I enjoyed dinner. Like they say, “No expectations, no disappointments.” How true! Mondo Mio is originally from Japan, with sister restaurants Piccolo Mondo located in Osaka and Kobe. Judging by how the restaurant is all packed with expats on a weekday, it’s very popular with the European and Japanese community here, and the menu has Japanese translations to cater to the latter. Service was very friendly and welcoming despite the fact that we were the only locals there. Champagne and olives were served on the house even before we ordered....

550ml jar of faith writes: Sometimes the body just needs to slow the eff down. And no, sometimes it's really not an option regardless of what work deadlines are looming or I'm inclined to have one more night out. When I blithely refuse to take heed after a few weeks in a row, the body will retaliate, I've learned. But enough about that, I've had enough loopy and lonely monologues justifying my feeble, febrile condition while detained up in recovery.Rewind to weekend pre-Illness: habitual breakfast hunt after noxious, hard drinking nights. This particular weekend saw a couple of tasty, under-the-radar, relatively unknown but solid Pan Mee finds. ...

qwazymonkey writes: Found this new application for comics on the iTunes store which turns ordinary mobile pics into comics. Just the thing this monkey-on-the-go needs. So here's my first attempt to blog using the app.Roti Plaster (RM2.20) served at The Warung in Mid Valley is literally a fried egg with runny yolk plastered on a piece of plain roti. Genius is the person who thought of it because I'm not the biggest fan of Roti Telur and its chopped up onions on the inside! The dhaal with sambal mix was pretty good too. So much better of a deal compared to the ultra expensive ...

Wilson Ng writes: Sunset at Aonang , Krabi, THAILAND A short Sunday post. My last December trip to Krabi with my friends was a memorable one. Though the company was good, but the scenery was better. Let me explain also why we picked to stay in Aonang instead of Krabi town. Before the trip, I tried to look for images of Aonang of Krabi, nothing much was found. So then, during the trip I took quite a number of Aonang of Krabi to show it here on my blog. Aonang  is a popular hot spot and its only minutes away from the airport. The main road is usually packed with stalls and shops selling from clothes to diving equipments. Not forgetting as ...

jamie writes: I am lucky to have very understanding friends who all do not mind to go vegetarian with me whenever we go for gatherings. This time around as one of them has some errands to run at State, Petaling Jaya, we then decided to go to Nature's Recipe Cafe which is around the area. Parking is quite difficult at lunch time on Friday as government staff get to enjoy a 2 and half hours off but fret not as there is ample parking space at Avenue 8 which is just a minute walk from this cafe. Service is good and the food served are delicious. This cafe is good to have a gathering as it is not ...

Justin Daniel Pereira writes: Who says you cannot enjoy a delicate rack of lamb in the suburbs of the city. Especially with the idyllic setting of a street side bistro, a view that engages your meal up close with the happenings of the neighbourhood, and the occasional queue that forms for the desire to strike 4D. There we have it, Tims Restaurant & Cafe right in the middle of Lorong 4 Toa Payoh housing estate.  ...

thenomadGourmand writes: Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland features a new adventure in the form of a 19 year old Alice, about to be married off to a ‘Lord’ of an acceptable social standing & reputable family, which other than an indigestion problem, would have been considered a catch as a husband. In the midst of discovering herself & her direction in life (wow, you mean this kind of thing do happen back then?), she was unwittingly bought back to the Wonderland she visited as a child, but this time with absolutely no recollection of what happened. I am writing this review as ...
