BBQ Sundays at The Bee, Publika

Rub a dub dub.. give me a messed up dog. The process of making a good BBQ, is textbook easy. You char up some jalapeños, slap on some slinky layers of sirloin, with just enough fat, and to it, add that magic secret sauce marinade. You could start the recipe in the morning and cook [...]

Prost! It’s GAB Oktoberfest Launch @The Social, Publika

It happens to be October month, and it’s obviously the time for lots of beer drinking and snacking, for those familiar with Oktoberfest (who isn’t though, right?). This beer festival of large mugged beer, food, music, toasting, singing, dancing, games and buxom barmaids which originated from Munich, Germany, has now become a staple celebration across [...]

Tex-Mex at The Bee @ Publika, Solaris Dutamas

Chef Miguel may have moved on to bigger things, since Ristretto Peruvian restaurant, but he hasn’t forsaken his South American roots.

If you think you’ve heard of this name before, join the club. I am familiar with the Yamagoya ramen which has more than 100 over outlets in Japan, and now, this ramen joint has come to Kuala Lumpur. The ramen, that is served to you piping hot in a bowl, is actually freshly handmade here [...]

S.wine at Publika

There are some trips that just stick in your head, more vividly than others. “We do not serve vegetarian-friendly items here..” says the menu at Momofuku Ssäm Bar, New York. Ah.. Momofuku. You should hope to bet your bottom dollar, that any dish that bears that “huge” name behind it, would at least have the [...]

The Red Bean Bag

Over the last two years, more than a dozen of new cafes and coffee bars have sprung up all over Kuala Lumpur, representing a small dedicated group of establishments, where coffee making is treated like an art, or at least a high form of craft. The Red Bean Bag being one of them. For years [...]

The Bee, @ Publika

One of our favourite hangout places for a nice cuppa, is at The Bee, at Publika. The Bee is a cool, laidback food and drink joint that serves American diner style grub and they do some rather nice coffee and ice-cream desserts here, as well. We love it because the place is spacious and the [...]

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 [...]
