Mumm’s the Word!

The Mumm Champagne Brunch at Prego, Westin Kuala Lumpur These food bloggers are not just happy.. they are really happy. “Here’s to Champagne, the drink divine, that makes us forget all our troubles; It’s made of a dollar’s worth of wine, and three dollars worth of bubbles.” Madame Pompadour, mistress of King Louis XV. (1721 [...]

Prego

Calzone Bomba After winning David Rocco’s cook book entitled David Rocco’s Dolce Vita in a blog contest on Camemberu’s website (click to read my winning submission and have a giggle!) I was well chuffed with myself at this accomplishment because, I almost always never win anything on contests. Ever. Not only that, but because I [...]

Vineria @ Bangsar Shopping Center, KL

Vineria is new. It is affiliated to Bar Italia and we picked this place for lunch because we wanted to have our favourite Gelato for dessert later without having to drive down-town to Changkat Bukit Bintang. Also, we wanted to see if the food at Vineria was any good. Today I am in the mood [...]

Favola @ Le Meridien, KL

The latest addition to the KL Sentral string of delightful 5 star restaurants is an Italian restaurant replacing the opulent Middle Eastern restaurant, Al Nafourah at Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur. Falova means “fable” in Italian. I like the setting of the place that reminds me of rustic Italy of the renaissance era. Masquerade! Paper faces [...]

Nero Fico @ Jalan Dungun, KL

There was a massive jam leading all the way into Hartamas, so we decided to do a slight detour and ended up in Damansara Heights instead. Nero Fico on Jalan Dungun.. we wanted to check this restaurant out, since we had not been here from the time it opened. (We recently tried Al Padrino across [...]

Delucca @ One Residency, KL

I left my heart at Delucca..! (And my chocolate martini.. sigh..) The new Chef, the new smile.. most importantly… the menu now tastes great! He has only been here 4 days, but I am glad that Chef Nicola Carradori who hails from Tuscany, is now heading the kitchen. Prior to this, he was based in [...]

Il Padrino @ Damansara Heights, KL

Il Padrino at UOA – we read about this place on Eat Drink KL. We decided to pay the ‘Godfather’ a visit. Antipasto misto “il padrino” – RM78.00 This starter for two of bresaola, tomato buffalo mozzarella, calamari, parma ham with melon and grilled vegetables was served relatively quickly. It was light and refreshing with [...]

Paradiso Italian Restaurant @ Taman Danau Desa, KL

As if we weren’t spoilt enough, ordering our cakes from JHP, FBB and now… We get our Baklava, specially made for us by the Preljevic’s. Ms Minela Preljevic specifically. The Preljevics are from Montenegro but they have lived in Malaysia for the longest time, running the show at that little Italian restaurant called Paradiso, in [...]

Nero Teca @ Lorong Ceylon, KL – Music is round.. music is square

You will notice that this is not really a food post. Instead this is a post on how good company and good friends, make a dinner outing meaningful and enjoyable. Good food and music helps too, of course:) You can kiss your family and friends good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same [...]

Nero Teca @ Lorong Ceylon, KL – The two P’s of eating…

We are back in that familiar place! … My favourite Italian restaurant (I cannot say it enough).. on a weekend. How goooood it is, when close friends meet together over Prosciutto and Prosecco! Those have got to be my two favourite P’s in the Italian vocab;P Speaking of which, they do Prosecco by the glass [...]
