Awareness towards healthy eating is growing and I often find myself torn - to be a granola-eating idealist or of just screw it, eat everything? As time goes by, I do realize that the same old universally applicable principles of variety, moderation and balance still work no matter what. So, here I am, alternating from one to another and most importantly, enjoy my food! However, KampungBoy is very … [Read more...]
After hearing SO MUCH of good things about Sage, TWO failed attempts in securing a table for two, and getting rejected for walk-in ONCE, we were here finally (drum roll please). We took a lift next to Isetan Departmental Store and my heart jumps, thinking that we were just a few steps away from Sage – the talk of the town. Initially, we were rather surprised to see that The Sage is tucked … [Read more...]

“Fancy fare like Japanese dine out does not come cheap!” Who says so? While excellent Japanese food can be had in a broad range of prices, blissful and cheap Japanese food takes the centre stage in Mid Valley Garden. After much back-pedaling and fast-talking, I convinced the bf to give both the places a try. Excellent for a fast blast of Japanese food, Sushi Zen and Sushi Zanmai, with … [Read more...]
Codo is truly a hidden gem at Mid Valley Megamall. It is situated above Little Vietnam at the cinema floor and apparently both Vietnamese restaurants are under the same management with different menu and approach.
