boo_licious writes: The sign which points the way to great steaksSince it was Splashie Boy's birthday on Friday, we did the celebrations during the weekend. I had to work on Friday night - loads of good Chinese food but unfortunately I couldn't bring him along.Starting out with deep fried prawn and codAs Splashie Boy is a huge bovine fan, I knew it had to be Wagyu or Kobe beef for him. Since it was all about steaks, we decided to venture into a steakhouse vs a fine dining restaurant. I had heard good things about Angus Steakhouse at Pavilion and decided we'll just give ... read more


boo_licious writes: Uhu hu cheesecake boxNo pies for the momentous occasion of the new Cabinet line up, but I thought these fluffy cheesecakes will be a great substitute. Talking about the new Cabinet ministers, I had a shock just now, when I returned home. There were 4 police outriders, hanging around the apartment lobby. Later, when I saw the announcement on the Cabinet, I realised why, as one of the residents, got appointed as a minister. I guess one must get used to the prescence of outriders soon around this area.Promoter in sakura pink kimonoBack to food - discovered these Uhu! Hu!

Pavilion KL @ Bukit Bintang

Malaysia

food republic pavilion
vkeong writes: During my trip to Kuala Lumpur last week, I also visited Pavilion KL in Bukit Bintang. My first impression on Pavilion was huge, grand and very expensive. I don’t think I can afford anything inside lol. And maybe because it was a weekday, there weren’t as much people I expected. Food Republic, the classy food court is almost a dream come true for food bloggers like me, it has almost everything! The exorbitant price is something to think about though. I can only display the photos which fit my blog’s width. So, please go ahead and click on them if you want a bigger and better view.... read more


Zing, Grand Millennium Kuala Lumpur

Malaysia

Zing
Lyrical Lemongrass writes: The ads for the Heart of KL were appearing in the newspapers on a very frequent basis, and frankly, they were more exciting that the skewed local news I had begun to flip over by the pile.  My husband, being the more diligent and patient reader (I read headlines in my quest to finish reading the newspapers within 59 minutes), spotted the ad for Zing and its visiting celebrity chef, Chan Kwok, from Singapore’s Hua Tin restaurant.  Chef Chan Kwok is described as “the winner of numerous awards including Best Asian Ethnic Chef at the 2005 World Gourmet Summit. He is also author of the recently released book ‘Chan Kwok - A ... read more


more than just flat

Malaysia

team bsg writes: If you have the time it is a good idea to take the Monorail then take a casual walk backStreets in Kuala Lumpur.For one thing you do not have to feel like you are being trapped left right and centre on the main roads with car-lorry-bus loads and then compete with hordes of jostling hurrying people for dunno what.For example have you ever seen this nice teapot somewhere off Jalan Bukit Bintang , along a road called Jln Berangan ? Actually its near a famous Hotel and beside this new Nirvana. Lots of gushing water here in Tropical Kuala Lumpur ! ... read more


boo_licious writes: Sushi Dokoro MaeshimaThis year round, we decided to celebrate Valentine's Day a bit later i.e the day after. I'm not a fan for the commercially over-priced set meals during the "day of romance" and prefer, if the money was better spent on great food instead.Two fat oysters to savourWe took a gamble on this place, which came highly recommended. A real hole in the wall restaurant, it is how I like my Japanese restaurants to be - tiny, smoky, no frills, with tatami rooms and most importantly full of Japanese customers. My belief when it comes to any cuisine, it must be good enough for the ... read more


The C. Club, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur

Malaysia

Grilled aged fillet of beef
Lyrical Lemongrass writes: Walking into The C. Club (an offspring of The Carat Club), the first question that came to my mind was “Who the h*%$ was the I.D. guy?” On one hand, some of the furniture were lovely. I loved the Kartell Bubble Club armchairs by Philippe Starck and the droolworthy Louis Ghost chairs also by the same awesome designer, but if one wanted to carry the same polycarbonate theme throughout the restaurant, at least choose something better than the plasticky silver bamboo-like chairs and the faux marble laminated tables that not only appeared unstable, but were unstable. Forgive me if I’m wrong, but they certainly didn’t resemble designer furniture, unlike the immediately recognisable Starck pieces. And ... read more


a toast to mum
Lyrical Lemongrass writes: 1. Except for my dad who grew up on berries and boars on the plantations of Sungai Siput, the rest of us in the family have had less than solid stomachs. The whole family has a loyalty card at Pantai (buy 10 surgeries, free 2) and a parking lot right next to the lift reserved for the most frequent visitors. So when it came to planning a birthday dinner for mum (born in the Year of the Pig), we knew that the task was bigger than it seemed. We had to prevent another visit to Pantai at all cost as they had ceased their loyalty scheme. (They said they were losing money thanks to our last barbequed lamb fiasco.)... read more
