JP Teres @ Grand Hyatt KL

We visited JP teres at Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur next to the Kuala Lumpur Convention Center for a buffet lunch recently and pleasantly found the Malaysian cuisine presented by its live cooking stations rather delectable. The international hotel chain, Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur, with 412 hotel rooms opened its doors 8 months ago, right in [...]

Heavenly cuisine at Celestial Court, Imperial Sheraton KL

Smartly dressed discerning locals, head for Celestial Court, a casually elegant restaurant, located on the fringe of KL’s down-town bustle. Spacious, yet well concealed on the third floor of Imperial Sheraton, it sits in a nook, behind an opulent entrance where an intricate Chinese lantern and striking red veils hang in cascading fashion form the [...]

Thirty8 @ Grand Hyatt KL

I love lazy Sunday afternoons at Thirty8, especially over their champagne brunch! We’ve always been meaning to check out Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur, every time we are in the KLCC area, but never got around to it. Somehow there’s some other activity on and we get sidetracked. Well this time, we managed to get to [...]

Prego @ The Westin KL

Accessible, unadorned, carefully rusticated Italian cooking is what we look forward to, and love the best about Prego. And when it comes to restaurants that serve good Italian food in KL, Prego, which means “welcome” in Italian, ranks high in our books. The quality and care that goes into the preparation of its menu, surfaces [...]

Rama V & the Songkran Festival with Janet Lee

It was a good thing that, instead of dunking us in water, the good folks of Rama V, used a pandan leaf, soaked in scented water, to gently bestow some good luck sprinkles on our shoulders. Otherwise, we would have been thoroughly soaked, as this was Thai Songkran, the mother of all water festivals. The [...]

Nook & Mai Bar @ Aloft Kuala Lumpur Sentral

CCFoodTravel check out Aloft, the latest hotel under the Starwood group… Honestly, there is no stopping the Starwood group. They have nine hotel brands globally, and in Malaysia they have at present five hotel brands, the Le Meridien, The Luxury Collection, Westin, Four Points, and Sheraton. Apparently the other two Starwood brands, the St Regis [...]

Pisco Bar, Mid week with Miserable Man

Last wednesday we headed to Pisco Bar, to catch Miserable Man , and he was brilliant! Here’s what he sounds like.. There were also some creative, oh so delectable, tapas (Chef Miguel Hokama’s trademark cooking) and Pisco Sours to kick back with, and enjoy the music. If this sort of scene is your thing, you [...]

Versatile dining at Chef Choi

If you like versatile dining.. it’s time to head on down to Chef Choi.. Having dinner at Chef Choi is an experience in itself. The chef is full of surprises and we have became regular clients at this restaurant for a couple of years now. And dining at Chef Choi is like eating the best [...]

Brew Culture @ Plaza Damas 3

You ain’t had good coffee, if you ain’t been to Brew Culture.. So what makes a great cup of espresso? Up till this point, I didn’t even know that there’s a big difference between ‘brewing coffee’ and ‘extracting espresso’. Then I met the good folks at Brew Culture. Brewed coffee is steeping ground beans in [...]

Gobo Upstairs & the White Asparagus Promotion

Calling all fans of the White Asparagus… Gobo Upstairs at Traders is having a rather cool promo.. What’s not to like about white asparagus? My only complaint is that the season is so short, usually running from mid April until early June. And while I do love green asparagus, there’s just something that feels extra [...]
