Plan B @ Publika, Solaris Dutamas

Plan B  at Publika was not our first choice. Ten was closed for the Long Chinese New Year weekend and so that’s how we ended up at Plan B, the newest outlet at Publika, under the BIG group of restaurants. Plan B at Publika looks like a modern Aussie-meets-New York-deli, and its menu boasts of [...]

Valentine’s Day at Samplings on the Fourteenth

I’ll be the first to admit, I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day. I find all that wishy-washy propaganda just a way for Hallmark and restaurants to make money.  I mean, all these over sized fuzzy greeting cards certainly don’t make me feel warm and fuzzy on the inside. Restaurants with their exorbitant prices don’t either. Then I [...]

Interview with Chef in the Spotlight – Yeong Yeng Yee of the Hungry Hog

Staff at the Hungry Hog

One of the places we like to visit on some weekends, is a cosy little place in Subang Jaya called the Hungry Hog. Just like its namesake, this place specialises in tasty and affordable pork dishes. Long before the Hungry Hog became a cafe, Cumi used to tell me about this website that did online [...]

Robert Burns knew what it was to be in love. He fell in love regularly, from the age of 15 when he met a lass named Nelly, till the day he died. He flirted with Jessy, the lass sent to help his wife Jean, care for him in his last illness. During his brief lifetime, (he [...]

Margaret River – Day 3 & Day 4

Early the next Saturday morning, after a hearty organic breakfast, courtesy of Burnside Organic Farm we set out for the local market, where we could get our hands on some fresh produce.

The Haute Food Co.

You’re probably going to walk by it the first time. Because from all you’ve already heard, this couldn’t be the place it looks like.. one more brick-walled bakery joint with first-come-first-served seating (limited seats inside)  and an equally cramped el fresco area outside. But there’s that quixotically intriguing hand written lunch menu, that only makes [...]

Gu Yue Tien @ Chulan Square, Kuala Lumpur

As the faint sound of a sizzle of meat made it’s way to our ears, the air smelled of smoke, garlic and pork fat. Pork is a beautiful thing.. in a sweet succulent brined pork chop way, or in a smoky, falling off the cracker, dry-cured parma ham way. It’s delicious as a rillette with a [...]

But when Cal learns that his wife, Emily (Julianne Moore), has cheated on him and wants a divorce, [...]
