Quaint little cafe in the row of street in Bangsar there lies a cafe that has been reborn from Drinc to the new cafe called as Lisette.. It revived to something more relaxing, comforting and cooling. The food menu has also been revamped to cater more delicious and healthy options for everyone including vegan diet. I had their Tricolore salad which is one of the healthier options that consists of 3 of my favourite things! The dish consist of the creamy yet firm burratta cheese accompanied by an acidic yet refreshing slices of tomato and finally topped off with a rich and creamy avocado slices that is dressed with earthy and nutty basil pesto! It is a very refreshing salad to eat on a hot summers day with a cool glass of Pinot Grigio!

To find a delicious, fresh and affordably priced Chinese seafood restaurant is never an easy feat especially in KL! But thankfully we found a new place to hangout for a late night supper that host an amazing array of seafood dishes and also you can choose your seafood alive too! In the heart of KL, Pudu to be exact; there is a restaurant known as Restaurant New Kai Seng Seafood that opens till late night and is a great place for a family dinner with no nonsense menu that provides simple yet hearty delicious from local favourites pork ribs to steamed fish in teochew style! So we were feeling the Lala vibe (clams) and they answered our prayer with the Lala in Superiour soup ( RM25).. The portion of the Lala is truly generous and the soup has an amazing flavour profiles of spicy yet sour notes alongside the splash of Chinese wine that is a classic pairing with the clams! The clams was perfectly steamed and the soup was a crowning glory to a simplistic meal eaten with that white fluffy rice!

When the weather gets extremely hot for you, you will be craving for something hearty yet easy to digest! Well that ideal food for those kind of days is a bowl of well made Pho! Pho has becoming a popular food that not only give you a comforting feel but it is also quite healthy! In KL there isn’t much great bowl of Pho in reasonable prices but thank god for the food gods for presenting us the Super Saigon Pho Cafe which first open their doors to our hearts and tummy in TTDI but it soon became a huge sensation that it sprouts in selective locations even to Ampang. We visited to their Hartamas location which also offers an alfresco dining! The menu is quite straightforward yet helpful and the prices are justifiable for the portion.. The one I had was Medium Rare Sliced Beef & Beef Tendon (RM18.90) which has a huge portion of its beef broth and it was really flavourful. The beef was well cooked with the texture that can chew with ease alongside the beef tendon that was rather generous! They also feature the steps on how to enjoy that bowl of Pho! Overall, a great & hearty meal for those who want to watch their weight!

It’s a quaint little bar which heavily focus on Chinese tea be it the traditional brewing experience or even a Nitro tea! #afoodiesaffair #burpple #burpplekl #teaplus #midvalley #kl

Tacos Tuesday is always a fantasy but with the mindset like Emmett and the feisty cooks of Barrio by Mex Out; Taco Tuesday is a dream come true everyday! So everything is awesome! Barrio has a fantastic location which is really convenient with the MRT to Somerset and a short walk leads you to this brightly lit place that serves delicious Mexican fare!
After much reading and analysis of the menu, we decided to get the Tacos individually (SGD8 per piece) but you still can get those sets like Tacos for One, I’m hungry or Tacos Fiesta! But we went for the Pork Carnitas, Baja Fish & 6Hr Braised Beef.. The tacos are all freshly made and each of them are just out of this world! The Braised beef for me is the stand out as it just melts in your mouth! Effortless eating and the pork carnitas has some spice kick to it alongside with the tenderness of the pork!

Korean BBQ has always been that iconic meal featured in the K Drama which shows the stars enjoying that perfectly cooked meat with fat melting so seductively or the crispy skin exterior from that slab of meat is the part that you’re most excited for! Recently, there is a new Korean BBQ concept which marries together the 2 ingredients which is an everlasting pairing of flavours and that is Apple & Pork! Yes, that’s right it’s Apple Samgyupsal! They have 3 locations to choose from but the one that opens till late is in Taman Desa.. We ordered the Apple Platter (RM88) that includes 120g of Apple Samgyupsal, 120g Apple Moksal, 120g Apple Hanjungsal, apple wrap( slices of apple), sausage and apple salad with other accompaniments which is free flow.. It’s always great fun to watch the cooking process been done for you and the servers are really attentive with taking extra care in wrapping the apple wraps with your preferred cut of meat and with its special sauce on top of it! It truly helps to exemplify your eating experience! Truly worth it! The pork was perfectly cooked till tender with a crispy exterior and the fattiness of it help to balance the sweetness and the crunchy acidic onions that is wrapped around it! The platter is great for 2 person to share! You can also order other sides to add on if you still have space for it! Not to miss is their signature drink; Apple Magoli!

Marina Bay Sands is a majestic building that has become one of the most recognisable icons of Singapore landmarks that truly house a variety of options which caters the appetite of the masses in any cuisine! They have an array of celebrity chef restaurants and also not to forget the amazing dessert cafe in the lobby level that has people coming for more of its sweets! The little cafe or kiosk is known fittingly as Sweet spot that offers a delectable yet scrumptious delights of both sweet and savoury! We had the sweet option which is the Raspberry Tart! The queue is fast moving and so do the beautiful tarts. So make sure to order it fast before someone else grabs it. The tart is a work of art with its delicately positioned juicy and plum raspberry that gives crunchy texture and sourish notes to the sweet based tart that was also layered with raspberry coulis.. A must try dessert place when you are in the Marina Bay Area!

A trip to SG wouldn’t be complete without visiting an iconic dessert place which is Tarte by Cheryl Koh. This dessert place has been an icon for the dessert lovers to come and try out its beautiful creations and it sells like hot cakes!! Well when we arrived, the display counters was almost empty up but luckily we managed to order a Dark chocolate tart.. The cafe was really spacious and cosy with decorative items featuring their desserts.. It’s a great place to relax or chat with your girlfriend after a sumptuous lunch. We had a Dark a Chocolate tart which was made with 66% Cacao Barry from Mexico.. Appearance wise it was truly elegant with a glossy sheen towards the chocolate layer of the tart.. The tart was really smooth and well made that complements the dark chocolate notes without being overly sweet..

Antoinette is such an iconic french dessert cafe that just become a must try spot when visiting in SG! Well it was a pleasure for me to finally able to try out those sought after dessert offerings in the Penhas outlet.. Well it was after dinner and the cafe has a peaceful yet quaint french vibe to it that is nice to have a catch up or some quiet time alone.. The selections was mouth watering but sadly something falls really short of it which is the service.. The server was quite reluctant to accept us even though it was 9pm and we know that the closing time was at 10pm and after the server asked their superior; then we were allowed in to have some dessert.. The desserts that we had was the Charlotte (SGD9) & their signature milk chocolate mousse cake which was infused with earl grey tea.. Overall, the desserts looks really photogenic but sadly it didn’t wowed us very much as it was just plain too sweet and lacks the other flavour dimensions which will give the milk chocolate dessert more dimension whereas the Charlotte looks pretty in violet but it was just have a short moment of acidity and slightly sweet from the Strawberry jelly & the cremeux.

Singapore truly has a wealth of food options that amazes you entirely! You can find in every corner something to eat be it cafe, road side stall selling you sandwich ice creams and not to forget malls that is filled with variety of restaurants! So in Orchard Gateway, we went into the Italian restaurant called Supply & Demand.. interesting name for an Italian restaurant but the most interesting part was their menu as it may look simple on the outside but it’s contents are filled with sections of dishes from ciccheti to dolce! They even incorporated local flavours into their pasta too. So I had their Nero di Mare pasta (SGD18) and they have this fantastic option for you to have it either tasting or full portion. I had the Tasting portion and it was truly a small portion so you can still have space for the pizza up till dessert! The pasta was made with squid ink and it was filled with succulent seafood and finally topped off with shaved grana padano.. The pasta is well made and it was paired beautifully with the inky and fishy taste of squid ink flavour!
