For decent Hokkien Mee in the KLCC area, check out Malaysia Boleh! food court at Fours Seasons Place KL. I like that the noodles was not overburnt and the sambal was quite tasty with a nice kick. I just wished the noodles had slightly more wok hei.
This round we also got to try the Wantan Mee @ RM9 and I was happy to see pun fei sau (half lean-half fat) cut of char siew given without requesting for it. Not only that, the noodles also came topped with crispy chee yau char...and that's why you can taste the fragrant lard oil in the sauce that's used to toss the noodles in. It may not be among the better ones that I've had, but overall, still a decent plate of wantan mee.
A plate of nasi lemak (MYR 3.50+) and one deep fried chicken thigh (MYR 5+) making it a total of MYR 8.50+ (MYR 9 nett). The rice is soft with a tinge of coconut milk. For my friend who do not eat much sambal, the rice can be a bit dry as this stall does not have any other curry gravy to go with the rice. For those who will mix the rice with the sambal, they won't find the rice to be dry.
Needless to say, we opted for Chili Crab with Mantou. Our crabs were mildly hot with sticky sweetness with golden crispy mantou buns on the side. There’s no better way to dive straight into this than to simply use our fingers to ensure full finger-licking sensations.

Since it is highly customizable, so I choose Pan Seared Salmon as my main dish and opt for Kon Loh noodles with 2 desserts, the Carrot Cake with Toffee Sauce and Egg Tart. Well, you can really taste the freshness of the salmon fish, it can feel the juiciness of its in every bite and most importantly, I don't find any bones in it. Good to go for me!

Saw this ” Bak Kut Teh Siu Mai” so we thought it was interesting and ordered one. Ended up it looked nothing like “Siew Mai”, but more like tau fu pok stuffed with fish paste filling, then immersed in bak kut teh soup. Don’t bother to order this.
With over 110 years of history in making egg tarts, this is one place we don’t mind visiting for their egg tarts.

My boy, who is a big scallop fan, loved the seared scallops (he had two!) - plump and juicy, served with butter corn miso foam with bottarga and the crispiest spinach tempura. So delicious! The scallops were sweet tasting and fresh, making them perfect for a carpaccio dish. The thinly sliced raw scallops were topped with orange segments, wild rocket and yuzu dressing.
Whenever I am in Kuala Lumpur, I travel down to Chinatown ( Petaling Street) to get a dose of the delicious soybean milk and traditional Chinese biscuits from Fung Wong. This is actually the first time I had time to walk beyond the covered walkway to explore the entire area which is actually full of small interesting cafes
If you like salted Egg, then this dish is for you. Every mouth you take, you will be to taste it. The pasta was served with 5 or 6 pieces of boneless chicken. Food was tasty and from the looks of it, it’s can instagramble restaurant.
We really liked Malaya Garden, as the staff were professional, attentive (they noted the little one would find the macaroni cheese too spicy – maybe not, but we didn’t risk it), and friendly, the food was of a high standard, the decor is fun – oh, and I almost forgot that the coffee is delicious, if perhaps a little environmentally unfriendly.
Mango to Tango is an amazing mix of Silver Tequila, Yellow Chartreuse, Mango, Honey, Fresh Lime Juice and Fresh Egg White. It's one of their MARINI’S SIGNATURE COCKTAILS and it tastes pretty good. Besides that, since its Ladies' night on Wednesday. We were served with free cocktails. Hooray!!/
Taste:9/10(Delicious. Ordered their the new dawn cocktail which is mixture of rum and orange juice. Taste is good and refreshing).
Reasons to visit Marini’s on 57: Location, location, location – the unparalleled views and central position right beside KLCC cannot be surpassed. The quality of the drinks, food and service – first class in every way. The chic and glamorous atmosphere makes for a special experience, and will definitely elevate anyone’s spirits after a hard day at the office. Fabulous venue for any type of celebration, or to just relax and unwind with friends and family.
The chef from 1 Michelin Star Buona Terra takes over the Mandarin Grill. I muse over why these culinary events are great for local gourmands and our food scene.
Mandarin Grill’s reopening successfully introduces modern twists on Italian classics. Cacio e pepe with sea urchin deserves praise, as does the beef rending cappelletti, which adds local flair to the restaurant’s repertoire.
Reasons to visit Mandarin Grill at Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur: beautiful setting; exciting new menu incorporating local ingredients; a ladies’ day deal not to be missed.
One of the must try menu at Curate. The Mussels Asiano is heavenly where the generous portion of mussels is beautifully steamed with Coconut, lemongrass, Chilis and the aromatic thai basil. The dish is superb with the appetizing broth and completed with the hint of spiciness in it.
Christmas Eve Dinner: 24 December, 6-10.30 PM. Priced at MYR 298 nett. Christmas Day Brunch: 25 December, 12-3 PM. Priced at MYR 268 nett.

Inspired from Jalan Hang Lekir’s Oloiya, the local meat jerky artisan who made his start selling orange juice. In this cocktail, the orange liqueur from the Grand Marnier resembles the original juice business while that piece of bah kwa take after the current meat jerky business. The aroma of the cocktail complemented well with the smokiness burnt bah kwa.
Reasons to embark on A Journey of Six Senses with Jann’s bottled cocktails: excellent value for money; do-it-yourself drinks; fun variety and an adventure to explore all corners of your palate.

We were impressed with Kafei Dian, and will go back soon. Nice staff, pleasant surroundings, and good food and coffee at a decent price (RM50).
Nothing much memorable here, except the morning kopitiam vibes. Kopi is good though.
The Penang Fried Kuey Teow was pretty tasty. It would have been da bomb if it had the slightly charred, burned taste that I fancy but its no big deal, it was yummy either way. The dish was a combination of the usual items – the noodles + sprouts + prawns + fishcakes.
Well, I can’t remember the last time I did a nightlife tip! It’ll take me a while to remember how to write these. Very rare in the first place, then fatherhood really wrecked my nights out… anyway I had the pleasure of visiting The Attic, a bar near the Ghost Lane.
Reasons to visit The Attic Bar: Authentic pork-free Italian food presented by DOP Concept in tandem with speciality cocktails. The Negronis, the pesto and the tiramisu were particularly good. Go at sunset to catch great views of the city at twilight and watch the sun drop behind the roofscape of Chinatown.

Set Meal: BBQ Pork + Roast Chicken + Vegetables (Bean Sprouts), 14.90 ringgit. This was your usual chicken rice, or rather chicken + pork rice, lol. I guess for a dish that cost 14.90, whatever served on the plate should be more than enough, especially when it comes with vegetables and soup on the side but 4,5 thinly sliced pork meat and 4,5 pieces of roasted chicken did not do it for me. I barely even had the time to decide whether it was good or not before it all disappeared into my tummy. I guess that explains why every table had a big plate of meat on its own because the set simple does not offer enough. As for how it tasted, the chicken rice tasted okay. For me, nothing beats the chicken/pork rice at Meng Kee ( Meng Kee Char Siew @ Shah Alam – One of the Best Char Siew Rice I’ve Tasted. ) There is nothing much I can say to describe chicken rice, lol or how different it is from one and another because they all almost taste similar but yea, the ones at Meng Kee Shah Alam is the bomb. Since I am one of those who eats chicken rice once in a blue moon, when I do get do get down to eating it – I want something really good and for me, good is at Meng Kee, till I discover another restaurant that serves awesome chicken rice.
While touring my Indonesian friend for jalan jalan cari makan at Petaling Street, then suddenly stumble upon this cafe that do rings a bell to me. Jao Tim is one of the latest cafe that a few of my friend had visited that gave good comments in their social media. Jao Tim in Cantonese means hotel.
The grilled cheese sandwich was awesome. I loved it. Every bite you take had cheese oozing out of it. Would I order it again? Most definitely.
Overall, we love this place. Friendly service, cozy ambience, jazz music, and not so crowded yet, at least for now. However we guess it will get crowded very soon, ‘coz it is such a pretty cafe to hang out. LOL. Will be back again and hope to see more hot food from their menu.
