A MALAYSIAN FOOD & TRAVEL BLOG
Together with my best friends (Ivy, Christine, Wen Ching), we have formed a breakfast club unintentionally. It first started with meeting each other almost every Saturday morning to pass the time and discuss the week we've had. And soon it evolved into a habit. Read more about our breakfast series at Antipodean Cafe , The Red Bean Bag, Haven Cafe and Jarrod and Rawlins. Though attendance was … [Read more...]

Merry Christmas to our dear readers! The festive season has left us a pound or two overweight, so an organic post Christmas brunch is just what we needed the most. Even our good friends felt the need to cleanse after the inevitable Christmas excesses too, hence we agreed to meet up at Haven. Haven is not just a cafe, it is a green space with wholesome food, healthy juices, good coffee, organic … [Read more...]

Set among the tranquil greenery of Eastern Nursery in Sri Hartamas, Coffee in Love is a place to sit back and relax whilst enjoying a delicious cup of Columbian coffee with home made cupcakes. The café is a mixture of retro, nostalgia, and quirkiness. I love the charming table settings and the travel collectibles and toys which the owners have collected over the years. I read about the start up … [Read more...]

Located in a quieter part of Mont Kiara, Ristretto Cafe wears multiple hats- it’s a restaurant and a coffee shop. The latter outshines as many has good things to say about their coffee. Ristretto's interior is cozy, warm and inviting. One can also dine outside and soak up the sun on the al fresco terrace. Upon placing our orders, the cute and affable barista made our drinks behind the … [Read more...]
Few weeks back, we were invited to a Godiva event, where we had the privilege of being a chocolatier (ahem) for a day. The event also opened our eyes to a little history on Godiva's chocolate and how it was made. Godiva Chocolatier was founded 80 years ago in Brussels, Belgium when master chocolatier Joseph Draps founded a chocolate company that was named in honor of the legend of Lady Godiva. … [Read more...]
My besties whisked me off for a birthday brunch at this tiny, tasty cafe called The Haute Food Co. It is a quaint little cafe in a small little strip center at Plaza Damas. The types of special ala-carte dishes of the day were hand written on a small chalk board tastefully displayed in front of the cafe. It's a small, bright and airy space, furnished with wooden furniture. I enjoyed the … [Read more...]
Nathalie's Gourmet Studio has always been at the top of my "to try" list but it took us forever to drop by, mainly due to the inconvenient opening hours (close for dinner, close on Sunday). Luck must be on our side, because towards the last day of year 2010, our PM has decided to declare a public holiday to commemorate Malaysia's victory in the 2010 AFF Suzuki Cup. I text-ed Ivy almost … [Read more...]
