Dining On A Plane, Running From Zombies & 11 Other Unusual V-Day Experiences In KL

Valentine’s is upon us and if you’re not keen on yet another fine dining celebration, here are some out-of-the-box options that you and your partner can try out.
Activities
1. Experience true fear @ HauntU
Image Credit: HauntU
Scary situations no doubt bring people closer together, especially if the situation is a haunted house experience. HauntU is a new immersive horror experience in KL and what that means is you’ll basically have the chance to interact with the cast. There’s a cool plot which sees you being involved in a gold heist at a fictional hotel and the questions you ask the actors as well as the way you react in certain situations might alter the ending slightly. Definitely a cool experience to try at least once, even if you’re a scaredy cat. Actually, more so if you’re a scaredy cat. That way, you’ll have an excuse to cling on to bae. 😉

Price: RM58/person
Address: LINC, 360, Jalan Tun Razak, Taman U Thant, Kuala Lumpur

Website: HauntU
Tel: 011-1686 9199
2. Go indoor drifting @ Blastacars
Image Credit: Blastacars
If your partner has a need for speed and loves zig zagging across the highway, cutting behind slow drivers, they’ve got to visit Blastacars! Here, they’ll get to drive to their heart’s content (for roughly 10 minutes) in a safe setting under the supervision of the coaches. Only 8 players are allowed on the course at any given time so you’ll be joined by other players. Blastacars will make for an ideal V-date because a common debate amongst couples is “Who’s the better driver“? Settle it here once and for all—loser pays for dinner. 😛

Price: RM60-RM100
Address: Sungei Wang Plaza (5th Floor), Kuala Lumpur
Website: Blastacars
Tel: 012-887 8485
3. Experience a VR Theme Park @ The Rift
Image Credit: The Rift
Gamers would enjoy a virtual + augmented reality theme park like The Rift in Mid Valley. It’s got 15 different reality-altering, physically-challenging experiences. Our favourites are the Zero Latency and Hurricane VR. At Zero Latency, you’ll get to enter a zombie apocalypse where you’ll fight to the end to protect bae and yourself. Meanwhile, Hurricane VR lets you enjoy a 360 degree ride while donning a pair of VR glasses so it’ll truly feel like you’re flying mid-air in a virtual reality space.
Curious as to what else is in the store at The Rift? Click here to find out.
Price: RM105
Address: 3rd Floor, North Court, MidValley Megamall, Kuala Lumpur
Website: The Rift
Tel: 03-2202 1808
4. Go indoor sky-diving @ AirRider
Image Credit: AirRider
Sky diving is a bucket list adventure that most adrenaline junkies would have dreamt of pursuing but it goes without saying that there are risks involved. If you’re keen on trying it but you’re not willing to jump out of a plane just yet, AirRider would be a safer option. This indoor skydiving zone in 1 Utama simulates the freefall component of outdoor skydiving and sure it’s nowhere near the actual experience but it’s close enough. The flight lasts for 50 seconds and that’s actually more free fall time than an actual outdoor sky dive!
Price: RM89 for 2 flights
Address: 1 Utama Shopping Centre, Lebuh Bandar Utama, Bandar Utama, 47800 Petaling Jaya
Website: AirRider
Tel: 03-7728 5588
5. Enjoy kid-like fun @ SuperPark
Image Credit: SuperPark
SuperPark makes getting active all the more fun and even when the sports facility is geared towards kids and teens, there are activities that older folks would enjoy too. The problem with such activity parks is the lack of activities that adults would enjoy as well, but the last time our team was over at SuperPark, we found that there were sufficient activities for us to spend a couple of hours enjoying. Some of our favourites include the indoor ice skating rink, rock climbing wall and futsal court.
Find out what we thought of SuperPark here.
Price: RM30-RM70
Address: Unit 4-1, Level 4, Avenue K Shopping Mall, 156, Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur
Website: SuperPark
Tel: 03-2789 1408
6. Teach your girl how to surf @ FlowRider
Image Credit: FlowRider
Surfing is not a common sport amongst city folks, mostly due to the lack of beaches and oceans to practice surfing at. Admittedly, there aren’t many spots to catch a wave at in KL and that’s what makes FlowRider unique. It uses an artificial wave simulator which consists of elements from board sports like surfing, snowboarding, skateboarding and skimboarding. Realistically, the first session at FlowRider would see you trying to maintain your balance on the board but it’s enough to know if surfing is something that the pair of you would like to pick up seriously.
Price: RM45-RM55 for a 1-hour session
Address: Lot LG 601, Lower Ground Floor, 1 Utama Shopping Centre, Petaling Jaya
Website: FlowRider
Tel: 03-7710 0833
Food
7. Dine in complete darkness @ Dining In The Dark
Image Credit: Dining In The Dark
How do you take a meal and elevate that experience? Try depriving one of your senses. At Dining In The Dark, you and your partner will savour meals in complete darkness. You won’t be able to see your partner or the meal that you’re enjoying, so it’s a complete surprise—but all will be revealed in the end so you’ll get to see if your guesses were right. There are 4 courses in total and you can opt for vegetarian meals too.
Price: RM130+
Address: 50A Changkat Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur
Website: Dining In The Dark
Tel: 03-2110 0431
8. Fish for food @ Prawn Valley Farm
Image Credit: Prawn Valley Farm
If you love seafood, you should learn how to catch and cook them too. At Prawn Valley Farm, you’ll have 2 hours to fish from their man-made pools and BBQ them from scratch. Some of the seafood you’ll be able to enjoy are prawns, crabs, clams and lalas. Be sure to go for as many rounds as you can and get your money’s worth.
Find out more about Prawn Valley Farm here.
Price: RM68+
Address: Lot 100, Jalan Sungai SOP Batu 14 Pekan Hulu Langat, Kuala Lumpur
Website: Prawn Valley Farm
Tel: 018-281 4918
9. Make your own pancakes @ Slappy Cakes
Image Credit: Slappy Cakes
Unleash your creativity (or lack thereof) at Slappy Cakes. Realistically you probably won’t be able to create Disney characters from your pancakes just yet so aim smaller and perhaps go for something simpler like floral patterns or emojis instead. Alternatively, challenge your partner to create a pancake of you and you can do the same too! There are savoury and sweet condiments to choose from, including chicken sausage and bananas.
Price: RM16-RM80
Address: SPWF001, First Floor, Sunway Pyramid West, Jalan PJS 11/15, Bandar Sunway, Petaling Jaya
Website: Slappy Cakes
Tel: 03-5650 5125
10. Dine in the sky @ Dinner In The Sky
Image Credit: Dinner In The Sky
Dinner In The Sky is an experience worth trying at least once, more so if you or your partner has a fear of heights. All guests will be secured in their seat prior to being suspended 45m in the air for the duration of their dinner. What’s cool is the fact that you’ll get to enjoy a bird’s eye view of KL and a chef will be joining you in the air as well so you’ll get to ask him or her questions about the meal you’ve just had.
There are 3 different packages to choose from:

RM449 for the Economy Class
RM699 for the Business Class
RM999 for the First Class

The experience lasts 60 minutes and you’ll get to enjoy a 3-course meal from Elements Kuala Lumpur (Business and First class passengers will receive a 4-course meal with additional perks like special gifts and complimentary alcohol).
Price: RM449-RM999
Address: 231, Bukit Bintang Street, Kuala Lumpur, 55100 Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur
Website: Dinner In The Sky
Tel: 03-2282 6413
11. Dine in a plane @ Plane In The City
Image Credit: Plane In The City
The last time our entire team was on board Plane In The City, it definitely did not look the way it does today. Back then, it resembled more of an airplane cockpit. However, in line with the Valentine’s Day celebrations, the plane has been decorated with flowers and candles for a romantic feel.
Similar to Dinner In The Sky, there are 3 packages to choose from:

RM259 for Economy class
RM499 for Business class
RM999 for First class

The experience lasts for 90 minutes and is inclusive of the wing walk experience and cockpit visit. Don’t worry if it happens to rain during your visit. You will receive a wing walk experience voucher which can be redeemed during a separate visit.

Price: RM259-RM999
Address: 231, Jalan Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur
Website: Plane In The City
Tel: 03-2282 6413
12. Dine in a bus @ Nightbus 127
Image Credit: Nightbus 127
There’s definitely an element of nostalgia when it comes to buses. Most of us would have experienced taking the bus to school in our formative years and it would definitely be an experience worth revisiting at this age. NightBus 127 is a bus which has been refurbished into a restaurant, complete with bus seats. What’s cool about this restaurant is the fact that it used to carry passengers around the Jenjarom area.
Address: Lot 389, Jalan Klang Banting, Batu 13, Jenjarom, Selangor
Website: Nightbus 127
Tel: 011-2626 4127
13. Plan your own grazing party with Keju By Carmen
Image Credit: Keju By Carmen
Grazing boxes are convenient as you’ll get to enjoy them anywhere, whether that may be in your own living room, car or by the park. Rather than individually sourcing food for your picnic, you can leave it to Keju By Carmen to send a box to you and your loved one. Some of the ingredients of the box include alcohol, nuts, crackers, cheese, meat, pickled fruits, fresh fruits and chocolate.

This KL Gym Sends Electric Impulses Through Our Bod While We Work Out

Voluntarily allowing electric impulses to be sent through our body sounds cray.
But that’s what Impulse Studio does on the daily.

Enter EMS Training, which is apparently a thing, and has been a thing in the recent days.

The most important thing to note about EMS training is that it doesn’t hurt. That’s because the electrical current is low and even though training sessions can be intense, the current is actually low enough that you won’t feel any pain.

It’s suitable for any age group and the time required in order to train EMS-style is relatively short, being 20 minutes per session, twice a week.
Although every body is different, visible results can be expected within 4-6 Impulse sessions. And that’s considerably fast, but judging from the amount of calories burnt per training (500), it makes sense.

It’s said to speed up weight and fat loss and improve one’s speed of strength.
For those who are particular about how their workout session will impact their joints, they would be glad to know that EMS training is gentle on the joints and might even aid the recovery process of former injuries.

The way EMS training works is that the stimulation is actually based on the electrical impulses that the brain sends to the muscles.
The EMS device then sends electrical signals to the pads which are stuck on one’s skin. The impulses would cause the muscles to contract.

You can target 6 muscle groups at one go: the chest, back, legs, abs, glutes and arms.
Currently, there are 7 Impulse Studios around the world, with 3 branches in KL: Bangsar, KL Sentral and Changkat, while the remainder of the studios are in Shanghai, Chongqing and Chengdu.

Considering how we’re moving forward in the fitness industry, with numerous alternative fitness workouts out there, it’s cool that there’s another addition.

11 Places For Indulgent Soft Shell Crab Burgers You're Bound To Salivate Over

Soft shell crab burgers, anyone?
Why yes, we’re back at it again with the lowdown on the best Soft Shell Crab delicacies in the Klang Valley. Previously we pleased all you nood lovers with a list of soft shell crab pasta dishes that will cheer you up from any crabby day.
Now, drool over some soft shell crab burgers that are equally as mouthwatering.
1. The Other Half
Image Credit: The Other Half
Regardless of whether you just fought with your lover or are very much in love with them, The Other Half will be your better half.

Image Credit: seriousak10.wordpress.com
Housed under the Serai Group company of restaurateurs, Jibby & Co is an amalgamation of Melbourne-sized Pan Asian Cuisine and Western breakfast favourites.
Their Soft Shell Crab Burger would be one of their most notable dishes among their patrons.
Served with Asian coleslaw, spicy mayonnaise and a mountain of sweet potato fries, it is beautifully paired with their special blend of select Indonesian high-altitude coffee beans.
Should you prefer something more Asian, they also make a mean chilli egg drop dip with blue swimmer crab meat served with crispy fluffy mantaos!

Scuttle down to The Daily Grind for some Downtown Tokyo grub!
Deep-fried soft shell crab with Asian slaw and wasabi mayo served on a bed of rocket leaves and a toasty charcoal bun, this was ranked as one of their best gourmet burgers.
The Daily Grind also hand makes their patties (hence the name “The Daily Grind”) with premium ingredients daily to ensure freshness and quality in every bite.

The OG Breakfast Thieves restaurant in Fitzroy, Melbourne is located in an old chocolate factory and the KL branch is also housed in a building with history – a 63-year-old commercial printing factory to be exact.
In an open space with a relaxing environment, they specialise in modern Australian cuisine fused with Asian influences.
Should you like to spice up your life, their Uncle Foo’s Fiery Crab Burger might be the fire you need in your life.
It is a soft but crispy deep fried soft shell crab in a fluffy brioche bun, surrounded by chili ginger sauce, a slice of cheddar, lettuce and a fried egg.
Completing the dish is a cabbage slaw accompanied by a heap of potato and sweet potato fries seasoned with salted egg yolk and curry leaves.
PS: They also have a vegetarian dish called The Legend made with spicy baked eggs, cauliflower, button mushrooms, peas and corn, feta, coriander, calamansi lime and herbed garlic toast!

5. Sköhns Canteen

In a secret canteen hideout that serves amazing scones and desserts is this Salted Egg Yolk Soft Shell Crab Burger.
Featuring a deep fried soft shell crab with audible crunchiness (beats KFC’s crunch) and a sweet and savoury salted egg yolk sauce, this burger sounds too good to be true.
However, the real crowd-pleaser was their homemade fries and the extra salted egg yolk sauce served on the side. Sköhns Canteen may look like a canteen, but the passion of their chef radiates through their food. Read more about it here!

Image Credit: Patty and Pie, Instagram user @haziqzulkipli
Specialising in wood-fire sourdough pizzas, burgers and cakes, Crust can be summarised with one item in their menu, Oishii (which means delicious in Japanese).
Their Oishii burger takes on the western idea from an Asian/Japanese angle of a juicy patty, sharp cheddar, deep fried soft shell crab and tobiko (fish roe) budu (fermented seafood) mayo.
Where the sea meets the land, it’s combined in between a pretzel/brioche hybrid bun.
We imagine this would be one delicious but adventurous meal created by its sister branch Patty & Pie!
Hours: Mondays-Sundays: 11am-3pm, 6pm-10pm
Address: 1F-17, 163 Retail Park, Jalan Kiara, Mont Kiara, Kuala Lumpur

But wait, they’ve got three new additions to their bao fam too! Their Chili Crab (Deep fried soft shell crab, belacan, spring onion, peanut powder), Portobello and Daebak can be devoured at the Bangsar branch for dinner.
Perhaps VCR stands for Very Creative Recipes after all.

At Dotty’s Pastries and Coffee, TTDI you’ll find a crunchy fried soft shell crab sandwiched between freshly baked burger buns with a side of fries and house salad.
If you’ve got a hankering for some eggs and noods, they’ve also got soft sell crab pasta or soft shell crab eggs benedict.
The eggs benedict was highly recommended and we can totally see why. Poached eggs drizzled with Hollandaise Sauce, sautéed Spinach, English Muffin and soft shell crabs sound like the perfect combination!

Located in Pavilion and Sunway Pyramid, their soft shell crab sushi burger features a soft shell crab with mango chili sauce, lettuce and tomatoes sandwiched between a pan-fried rice burger.
Unlike most restaurants, their sushi burgers are served with grilled corn on a bed of frilly fried burdock roots.

Feel Like You’re In Japan At This Whimsical Oriental Eatery In Taman Danau Desa

When Aka Café opened its doors in January 2016, many were intrigued by this Japanese fusion eatery that incorporates traditional-looking meals in a modern minimalistic setting.

People are easily attracted to cute items and designs and at Aka Café, these things are aplenty. It is obvious that the founders of this eatery have placed priority on not just the food, but also the experience that they can provide.

Aka’s bento set features pandas made out of sticky white rice and bits of seaweed, coupled with a pot of fragrant tea and some pickled vegetables. As for their panda dessert, it is in fact a panda vanilla roll cake served with bits of chocolate and fresh blueberries.

As for their ice ball desserts, they come in a variety of flavours including chocolate, matcha and taro. The set also comes with traditional Japanese wooden tea spoons which is used to stir the mixture together.

Their classic shiratama dango with red bean and matcha sauce is in fact created in-house and each ball is meticulously shaped one by one by the kitchen crew. As such, no two dango balls are the same.

Their blend of java and ice cold matcha drinks may be worlds apart in terms of flavour and degree of temperature but they are both great drinks to have on rainy days or when it’s blazing hot outside.

As for their signature taro au lait, many would be attracted to the colour but the taste of yam is a unique one that you have to try at least once when you’re dining in this café. On the other hand, Aka’s matcha au lait uses premium Uji matcha powder which is imported directly from Japan and both the au lait drinks feature adorable latte arts on them.

At Aka Café, it is customary for guests to pour warm milky liquid, be it chocolate or vanilla, on some frozen ice balls. Not only is it satisfying to pour the liquid on the frozen mixture, it also makes for an appetising Facebook shot. At this eatery, they serve the dish alongside some fish crackers which are synonymous with our childhood days, as that is a snack that most kids would have sampled at some point in their life.

Waffles from this eatery are savoury and they incorporate bacon bits, seaweed and cheese for flavours of East meets West.

When it comes to their cakes, the traditional butter cakes are further elevated with pastel colours which gives it a whimsical feel. It is interesting to note that the chefs at Aka have even briefly been under the tutelage of Chef Gael Etrillard, who has experience serving as the executive pastry chef at Raffles Hotel Singapore for around half a decade.

While Aka Café features plenty of sweet treats, they do serve main meals here as well. The bento set features fish, pickled vegetable, gyoza, rice and miso soup. As for their crispy karaage chicken, it is served with a side of salad.

For those who have paid Aka a visit, they know that there is no need for the cat figurines on the counter which beckons them to return. They would gladly do so anyway.
Aka Café is more than just a place to makan. It is also a place where people can kick back with some good-looking food, and enjoy all that Japan has to offer, right here in KL. After all, their tagline states: “Taste like Japan, feel like home”.

Hours: Thursday-Tuesday: 12pm-9pm. (Closed on Wednesdays).

Mushroom Quiche & Chocolate Chip Cookie From Good Ground Bakery (September 2020)

We are huge fans of Good Ground Bakery’s sea salt brownie, which has already been sufficiently raved about. So we ventured a little further today with their mushroom quiche and their VERY large chocolate chip cookie.
The Mushroom Quiche (RM15) was a big hit, especially since we’ve been eating so many sweet things lately. Not only was the flavour a mouthwatering savoury affair, the thin crispy crust was a perfect complement. It’s a bit stronger on the onion side rather than mushroom, and the cherry tomatoes were a great burst of tanginess. Highly recommended!
 Good Ground Bakery’s large Chocolate Chip Cookie (RM7)
The palm-sized Chocolate Chip Cookie (RM7) really was a mouthful, and Good Ground’s version has a lot more in every bite than expected—they include oats and nuts in the mix with the choc chips.
A cross section of the choc-filled cookie.
For some, that may be an added bonus of extra chew and taste, for others who don’t believe that oats have a place in cookies, this may be a cookie to skip.
But if you’re the type who enjoys whole grain bread because of all the additional seeds and nuts, you’ll probably like this too! And it’s pretty worth it for its size.
Side note: If you’re ever in the vicinity, we also highly recommend their chocolate tart and bruleed lemon tart too.

We Calculate How Much We Can Save On Chicken With This 50% GrabFood Promo Code

Tearing into a side of freshly fried crispy fried chicken is an almost visceral experience of joy that very few other affordable food options can emulate.
Knowing this, GrabFood’s Weekend BokBokBok Buster deal is meant to capitalise on our love for chicken meals all day long.

With the “BOKBOK”
promo code, you’ll get to enjoy chicken deals from 31 different restaurants
on the GrabFood app.
This
promotion is valid from March 15 – May 5, 2019 (only available from Fridays
to Sundays).
However, what’s the point of a
promo code if we don’t know what its true value is? So we break down exactly
how much you’ll be spending on some chicken-y goodness for two this weekend if
you use the BOKBOK code. Do note that the prices below are not inclusive of
delivery or tax.

1. A&W: RM15.61 (2 pax)
Image Credit: A&W
You might think waffles, curly fries or root beer floats when it comes to A&W, but their fried chicken marinated with herbs & spices is also worth a try for any chicken enthusiasts.
With two
flavours to choose from (the classic Golden or Spicy Aroma), make it into a
full meal with the combo set priced at RM15.61, which come with two
pieces of crisp fried chicken, fries and of course, a 600 ml bottle of
their signature RB (that’s root beer, in case you haven’t been keeping up with
the news).
Amount saved: RM15.61
2. The Chicken Rice Shop: RM13.70 (2 pax)
Image Credit: The Chicken Rice Shop
If you’re the
sort of person who likes the best of both worlds (or in this case, the best of
both flavours), the Chicken Combi set from The Chicken Rice Shop would be your
way to go.
Choose two
out of 4 flavours (Crispy Roast, Hainanese Steamed, Prime Honey or Soy Sauce)
and be sure to tick the box if you’d like soup along with your order for RM13.70.
To add a bit
more texture and flavour to your meal, you can also add on a side of their
signature Nyonya pai tee for RM11.20.
Or for a full
meal (but only one chicken flavour), you can get the Personal Meal Box, which
comes with your choice of chicken, either pak choy or ladies fingers and
rice, for RM15.
Amount saved: RM13.70-RM15
3. Texas Chicken: RM23 (2-3 pax)
Image Credit: Texas Chicken
Known for
their large pieces of crispy chicken and buttery biscuits, an 8-piece chicken
combo from Texas Chicken will only cost RM23 after the discount.
This gets you
8 pieces of chicken (and you can mix it up with spicy, original or
both), 4 honey butter biscuits, and 2 sides (take your pic from
coleslaw, fries or mashed potatoes).
Amount saved: RM23
4. Lim Fried Chicken: RM17.90 (2 pax)
Image Credit: LFC
Lim Fried
Chicken is a name that needs no introduction, especially for Subang-ites. They’ve
since expanded to more outlets all over Klang Valley, so more people can try
this iconic fried chicken now.
Run by the Lim family, LFC—as it’s more fondly known as—is famed for the juicy fried chicken thighs with crispy skin. For two sets containing drumsticks, rice, vegetables and drinks combo, you’ll only have to pay RM17.90.
Amount saved: RM17.90
5. Jinjja Chicken: RM20.90 (2 pax)
Image Credit: Jinjja Chicken
Pali-pali is part and
parcel of the South Korean culture where they want things fast. They also
happen to be huge fans of fried chicken. Pair the two together and you’ll get
the core of what Jinjja Chicken is all about: a fast food joint with fried
chicken as its star dish.
At Jinjja Chicken, their Drumsticks Bap option (priced
at RM20.90) consists of fried chicken drumsticks with a side
of fries and drinks. Pair this with your choice of sauce. There are quite a
fair bit of options, but those who can handle their heat should opt for the
Monster sauce (spicy level 3).
Amount saved: RM20.90
 6. Wingstop: RM19.48 (2 pax)
Image Credits: Wingstop
This American
brand is known for their crispy fried chicken wings and killer sauces: all 10
of them. Sambal Pedas is a must-try for those who have to have sambal with any
meal. At Wingstop, you can get the 1/2 chicken combo, along with 2
sides and 2 drinks and the bill would only come up to RM19.48.
Amount saved:
RM19.48
7. The Butter Chicken: RM13.40 (2 pax)

If you’re
looking for next level butter chicken, The Butter Chicken is a good place to
start.
For one, they have an option for Indomie butter chicken which is a step up from regular white rice served with a side of butter chicken (though they do have a white rice option too if you prefer). The Basic Butter Chicken combo (spicy and non-spicy options available) also comes with 2 drinks. The set is priced at RM13.40 for 2 pax.
Amount saved: RM13.40
8. Galito’s: RM15.70 (2 pax)
Image Credit: Galito’s
The only
South African chicken brand that most Malaysians will know is Nando’s, but
Galito’s (founded in 1996) is also looking to make its mark on our palates and
hearts.
Marinated for
at least 24 hours before being flame-grilled, you can choose between different
spice levels that go all the way to extra hot; or go au naturel and
order it plain.
For the “rice
bowl” Asians who need to have their serve of carbs with every meal, two bowls
of the Chicken Strips with Spice Rice will cost RM15.70, which comes
with tender and juicy chicken strips, with your choice of Galito’s
heat.
True
carnivores can instead opt for the quarter grilled chicken, which will cost RM16.50
for two.
Amount saved: RM15.70-RM16.50
To be

These Taiwanese Rainbow Drinks Are Now In KL—AND They're All Natural Too!

A food trend that really blew up in 2017 was no doubt the unicorn food trend. I mean, everywhere we looked, we’d find unicorn grilled cheese sandwiches, rainbow waffles and who could forget—rainbow bagels.
With a rising number of millennials taking to social media to document their meals, it makes complete sense to jump on the Instagram-worthy food bandwagon.
Not one to miss out on the trend is Taiwan’s most Instagrammable yet healthy drink brand, Dream Color. They’re set to enter the Malaysian F&B market real soon with their range of colourful teas and juices.
Image Credit: Dream Colour
The DiscoverKL team recently dropped by the Dream Color R&D Center to check out how these colourful drinks are made from scratch.
Our first thoughts were how the colourful hues blended nicely into one another.

“They look like colourful lava lamps,” our video producer, Su mentioned and the rest of us nodded in agreement. The colours were really bright and vibrant like that!
Dream Color’s Creative Marketing Specialist, Jin shared that Dream Color’s drinks are actually inspired by a natural phenomenon common in the North Pole, simply known as the Aurora lights.

The obvious question on everyone’s mind then was how exactly do the drinks achieve this hue?
According to Jin, “The drinks are purely coloured by fruits and flowers and they have no added colourings or preservatives”.

We even had the chance to watch the drinks being prepared from scratch. We chorused with our ooh’s and aah’s as the drink colour changed from a strong shade of blue to a purple shade. The change in colour is no gimmick as it’s actually due to the fact that the butterfly tea is pH sensitive. When lemon juice is added to the butterfly pea flower tea, it causes an instantaneous colour change.
The blue shade comes from the Butterfly Pea flower, a common plant found in Malaysian household gardens. Commonly used in cooking, this flower gives the drinks added benefits such as antioxidants as well as anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties.
Image Credit: Dream Colour
It’s refreshing that Dream Color is offering Malaysians a better-for-you alternative, without sacrificing on looks, as that is after all the main purchase appeal for consumers.
Dream Color currently has 4 drink series to choose from: Butterfly, Cloud, Fruit and Tea.
The Butterfly series consists of drinks which are made with the butterfly pea flower, giving it an attractive blue hue and added health benefits. The Cloud series gets its name due to the addition of a layer of milk foam, giving it a slightly savoury and creamy flavour.
The Fruit series consists of drinks made with fruits like guava, lemon, orange and dragon fruit, and is ideal for those who find it difficult to fulfill their 5 fruits and vegetable consumption a day. The Tea series is a refreshing take on tea, with the addition of premium black tea, matcha and jasmine green tea.
Image Credit: Dream Colour
Some of the flavours on the Dream Color menu include Milkyway—the DiscoverKL team’s personal favourite (Milk, Vanilla, Butterfly Pea Flower), Twilight (Kumquat Lemon, Butterfly Pea Flower, Strawberry) and Mount Fuji (Honey, Butterfly Pea Flower, Milk Foam).
Jin reminded us that the drinks should be shaken before consumed and they are ideally drunk immediately or within 2 hours. That should buy us enough time to take that perfect shot for Instagram.
Image Credit: Dream Colour
Retailing between RM7-RM14.50, you have the option of adding translucent pearls, baby pearls or aloe vera (additional RM1 per serving) to give your drinks some bite. The drinks come in 3 different packagings (bottle, bulb and takeaway cup).

Dream Color’s Sunway Giza outlet will anticipate its official public launch on November 18 and here’re our personal recommendations from each of the 4 drink series:

Milkyway (Butterfly series) if you enjoy drinks which has a tinge of vanilla in it
Dreamy (Fruit series) if you’re a fan of tropical fruits with a sweet refreshing taste
Strawberry Sundae (Cloud series) for a creamy drink with strawberry and milk foam
Passion Jasmine (Tea series) for those who enjoy the refreshing taste of Jasmine tea with a hint of passion fruit

If You'd Willingly Throw Yourself Off A Cliff, M'sia's First Ever Rope Swing Is For You

Calling out to all adrenaline junkies! Besides the bungee jumping at Sunway Extreme Park and flyboarding at Putrajaya, did you know that you can safely jump off a cliff in a death-defying adventure known as the rope swing?

 View this post on Instagram

A post shared by RENTAS ADVENTURES (@rentas_adventures)

This rope swing is located at the Kuala Kubu Baru Dam in Hulu Selangor!

The first of its kind in Malaysia, the rope rope swing is similar to bungee jumping but instead of going down, you will be swinging across the river! Operated and managed by Rentas Adventure, this activity can be spotted easily when you are on the way to Fraser Hill.

Are you brave enough to try this activity out?

If You're An Avid Traveller, This Personalised World Map Is What You Need In Your Life

Scratch off world maps aren’t a new idea entirely and a quick search on Lazada will produce hundreds of results with varying price points. There’s bound to be one that matches a price you’re comfortable with paying.
But a personalised world map is a unique touch that one Malaysian e-store has added to theirs.
Image Credit: UMade Malaysia
As travelling is a highly personal thing (some prefer the occasional yearly trip to a further destination whilst others prefer spending months backpacking across Southeast Asia), these world maps make for a nice travel accessory to have.
Called the UMap, these world maps by UMade Malaysia allow you to customise it whichever way you like. Some unique map headlines we noticed while browsing the site include “Gary’s Footprints” and “To Travel Is To Live” but most would opt to include their name in the world map to make it uniquely theirs.
Image Credit: UMade Malaysia
Doubling as a wall decor, these maps are made of a durable fabric quality and that’s already a step up from the usual paper maps available for purchase which might crease or tear.
As the map is made of a lightweight material, you won’t have to worry about weathering or tearing. You’ll get to wash your map and iron it out too.

Highly portable, you can even fold up your UMap and bring it along with you on your travels as a picture prop.
Prices start from RM159 and the map comes in 7 different colours: Baby Blue, Navy Blue, Rose Quartz, Bluish Gray, Space Gray and Lake Green.
Image Credit: UMade Malaysia
These world maps also come in 3 different sizes: 75cm x 100cm, 112cm x 150cm and 150cm x 200cm. Opt for a smaller map if you’re placing it above your study table or perhaps go for a large-sized map if you’re planning to cover a feature wall in your living room.
Each UMap comes with 25 different pins so you’ll get to mark the countries you’ve visited. If you’re fortunate enough to have seen more than 25 countries, you can purchase separate pins (there are unique ones shaped like airplanes) from the e-store too.
Alternatively, UMade creates country maps for places like Japan, U.S.A. and Taiwan as well as the team understands that some travellers might prefer longer trips to explore the country and its states as a whole.
Besides world and country maps, UMade also sells accessories such as string lighting and tapestries for those who prefer fabric materials for their home decor.
The tapestries in particular are washable home decors that can be easily moved from room to room so you can update different feature walls in your home every now and then.

We visited this classy KL cafe known for its charcoal-infused food, here's what we tried

When we first drove past BlackBixon Cafe on our way to another event, it stood out as a rather classy cafe that’s complete with a glass house entrance to their outdoor seating area, as well as an upper floor with a balcony.
Looking into it, it seemed that quite a number of their food items, particularly their pastries, are mostly black, hinting that they’ve infused activated charcoal during the cooking process, giving them a deep black colour.
When the day came for us to actually pay a visit, we struggled to find parking because Jalan Imbi is notorious for being one of Kuala Lumpur’s densely populated areas.

After making a few rounds, we realised that there were private parking spots directly across the street from the cafe, which are allocated specifically for BlackBixon Cafe customers only.
Once we got our parking situation sorted, we then made our way on foot towards the cafe.

As we walked in, we immediately noticed how classy the cafe was on the inside as well, from the black-walled interior and classy-looking furniture, to the intricately detailed tiles on the floor.
Another thing we noted was how popular BlackBixon Cafe was. When we reached the place at around 10AM, it was still quite empty.
However, after we ordered our food and snapped pictures of the cafe, which took around 25 minutes, the place was already packed with a number of customers, especially at their outdoor seating area.

Speaking of orders, we got ourselves some pastries, such as BlackBison’s signature Matcha Cruffin (RM13) and a Salted Egg Croissant (RM13).
We also ordered their Big Breakfast (RM28), which had eggs, artisanal chicken, sausage, crusted hash brown, sautéed mushrooms, baked beans, grilled tomato, and a slice of charcoal sourdough bread.

For our drinks, we got a cup of Monochrome Latte, as well as a cold cup of Charcoal Latte.
Starting off with the Matcha Cruffin, tearing into it with our utensils revealed the thick matcha cream inside, which might be a bit bitter for some. The pastry crumbled as we picked it up with our forks, and it had a slightly smoky and earthy taste because of the activated charcoal.

Moving onto the Salted Egg Croissant, the pastry was quite similar in taste and texture to the matcha cruffin. When we cut into it, the molten salted egg filling began oozing out, and you can smell the salted egg scent emanating from it.
Do keep in mind that because there are traces of chilli powder sprinkled on the exterior and in the salted egg yolk filling, it has a slightly spicy taste, which might not be appetising to some.

As for the Big Breakfast dish, we found that even though everything was cooked well, it was a bit bland to our tastes, as if it was lacking some sort of seasoning.

To comment on the drinks, the Monochrome Latte (RM18) had a sweet caramel aftertaste while the Charcoal Latte tasted roughly the same, except it was not as sweet, nor were there any hints of caramel. Both coffees tasted more on the milky side, but the caffeine still hit.
Before we ended our visit, we explored the outlet a little further to take some pictures and videos for our content, one of the BlackBixon staff told us that there’s actually a rooftop bar that’s only open during the evening, which might be something worth checking out in the future.
BlackBixon Cafe

Bring Your Bae To This Restaurant In KL Where Meals Start As Low As RM2.50!

Wallet feeling a little light this month? Don’t worry, we’ve got your back. If our list of RM5 meals didn’t impress you enough, there’s a place in Bangsar with meals as low as RM2.50+.
And we’re not talking about snack foods either. With prices starting at RM2.50, you can enjoy the likes of rice, noodles and side dishes.
BAE – Build And Eat serves up comfort Malaysian cuisine like nasi lemak, fried chicken drumsticks and nasi telang. While portion sizes aren’t ginormous, what you’ll have instead is variety.

If you’ve ever paid a boat noodle restaurant a visit, portion sizes are pretty much the same here at BAE – Build And Eat. To have a tummy-filling meal, opt to order up 3-4 plates (or more). If you prefer larger portions, opt for their regular meals which are priced upwards of RM2.50.
Curious as to how the name of this restaurant came about? The name Build And Eat is actually derived from the concept whereby the folks behind the restaurant cooks, whilst its guests will build the perfect meal to devour.
With the food options in Bangsar typically being on the pricier end, it’s nice to see a restaurant like BAE standing out with its budget food choices. Its name also has a nice ring to it because you’d probably never find a restaurant with as sassy a name as BAE. Now too bad this place ain’t a ‘build a bae’ workshop! 😉

TEMPTations Review: What You Should (And Shouldn't) Get At This KL Christmas Buffet

Christmas is less than a month away and the festive season is often accompanied by plenty of feasting sessions.
Our team had our feasting earlier than the rest of KL when we dropped by TEMPTations restaurant recently for a preview of their Christmas buffet.
There was a wide selection of dishes and 6 sections in total: the Starters, Mains (Western Grill, Surf & Turf, Vegetables), a Carving station, and Desserts.
With so many options to choose from, we started at the mains section.

The Steamed Seabass with Ginger and Soy Sauce far exceeded my expectations as it was soft and mildly gingery in flavour. Its texture is smooth and boneless—definitely worth heading back for seconds. It’s also pretty interesting how there are Oriental offerings at this Christmas buffet.

You’d be sorely disappointed if you expected extremely buttery prawns with the Wok-Fried Prawns With Curry Leaf dish. It’s mildly buttery but that’s a perk for those who don’t enjoy their prawns drenched in a rich and thick sauce. In its place, you’d find aromatic prawns that are done well.

The Chickens were a miss unfortunately. Where it promised to be a herby mix, I didn’t get much of it from TEMPTations’ version. It’s fairly decent chicken but nothing really spectacular.

Buttered Vegetables would likely not be your first choice at a Christmas buffet but I enjoyed how this mixture was not too rich and creamy. In fact, the sauce is more of a broth. The vegetables remain crunchy even after being soaked in the buttery broth and it’s a nice complement to the other dishes that we had.

I expected way more for the Chinese-Style Black Pepper Lamb and while the texture was juicy, the sauce was pepper-y and it masked the actual taste of the lamb. There are other lamb options at the buffet that are far better, including one which is cooked in an Indian style.

The Lobster Quesadilla might disappoint as there’s hardly any lobster in it. I would know, as I examined the contents of the quesadilla. You’ll get a morsel of lobster with each mini quesadilla but that doesn’t necessarily make it a bad quesadilla as a whole. I enjoyed how the medley of vegetable it is packed with is crunchy and flavourful. Overall, it’s a nice starter to have before moving on to the mains. One complaint that I do have though, would be how the wrap is slightly soggy and oily (note the oiliness on the sheet of paper that the quesadillas rested on), perhaps due to it being packed with too much sauce.

You can opt to get your seafood prepared by the chefs at TEMPTations too. There might be a queue but it’s worth waiting in line for freshly-prepared seafood.
I chose the scallops. They were incredibly soft and lightly seasoned, maintaining its original flavours.

Next, we moved on to the desserts. The Pecan Tart was packed with whole pecans and was buttery as pecans typically are. The coating of icing sugar was a tad bit too much in my opinion. But that aside, it’s actually a pretty rich dessert to enjoy, and a nice way to end your feast.

The Crème Brûlée was creamy and pretty good. We wished that the serving size was a little bigger, but no biggie as you can always go for seconds or thirds. No one’s judging as it’s a buffet after all. The dessert has a nice, strong vanilla taste to it and is not too creamy either.

Dutch Apple Cakes are the epitome of Christmas and a must for authentic Christmas buffets. We love how TEMPTations included the dessert in this year’s Christmas buffet. For the uninitiated, the Dutch Apple Cake has a strong cinnamon taste and TEMPTations’ version has a melt-in-the-mouth texture that is not too dense nor filling.

The Lemon Panna Cotta was creamy but the lemon tastes slightly artificial in my opinion. With the extensive dessert selection that the buffet had to offer, I’d recommend skipping this as there are far better choices.

We ended our dessert feast at the Frozen Yoghurt corner. The frozen yoghurt was pretty good and in my opinion, is even on par with brands like Llao Llao. The handsome selection of condiment choices also helped. Among the selection, we found almond flakes, coconut flakes, chocolate rice, rice krispies and Froot Loops. As for the yoghurt flavours itself, there’s mango, mixed and plain. We went for the mango and it proved to be a decent choice as it has a nice fruity flavour which thankfully, does not taste artificial.
Of course, there are far more options at TEMPTations’ Christmas buffet. In fact, there are roughly 50 options in total and clearly, our team could not possibly stomach all. But from the dishes that we did have, our favourites were the Dutch Apple Cake, Scallops and Steamed Seabass.
If you’re looking to enjoy a Christmas buffet at TEMPTations, or drop by for any of their buffet sessions for that matter (there’s even a buffet specifically for seafood alone), drop them a line to make your reservation.

8 Insider Tips To Make The Most Of Your Experience At This VR Theme Park In KL

The Rift is said to be South East Asia’s largest Virtual Reality/Augmented Reality Theme Park with over 16 games excluding Zero Latency’s free roaming VR Experience. While there are a total of 4 VR Experiences in KL itself, here are 8 tips you need to know before suiting up for your virtual adventure.
1. Dress to kill
Hollowall at The Rift
While this is technically an hour or two of video gaming fun, the games at The Rift combine physical activities with video games.
Near the entrance is an interactive climbing wall called the Hollowall. It may look easy but the game involves stamina, speed and agility to destroy asteroids and avoid electric borders while climbing and dashing from one corner to the other to stop timers.
Plus, there are also a few games that involve walking around a maze to run from, and to kill your friends. And even a static roller coaster that makes 360 degree turns.
Hence, we’d recommend dressing up in comfortable clothing that allows for free movements for your maximum experience.

2. Go glasses-free if possible

VR goggles are typically designed to be worn over glasses that are not extravagantly large in size. However, at most of the games in The Rift, you’ll be required to strap on the VR goggles rather tightly to face, which in turn would push your glasses nearer towards your face.
This might make it feel a little uncomfortable and also risk scratching your glasses if it comes in contact with the glass of the VR goggles.
To prevent this risk and enjoy wearing the goggles comfortably, we’d recommend wearing contact lenses instead.
3. Eye masks are provided for hygiene

Good news for germaphobes and sensitive skin peeps, there are preventive measures taken at The Rift to minimise cross contamination. While the goggles seemed well-maintained and odourless despite us using them at the end of the day, they’ve probably been used by hundreds or thousands of other individuals.
At the entrance, you’ll be given one of these cotton superhero eye mask-like things to be worn as a barrier between your skin and the VR goggles when needed. Do hang on to them while you’re at the park so you won’t have to keep requesting for one.
4. Pack light
Every station in this theme park has designated lockers for you to temporarily store your earthly belongings while you’re transported to another dimension. The lockers are probably large enough for a medium-sized backpack.
But for context, we managed to stuff a slim backpack, a camera bag and a folded tripod bag into one and lock the door. Hence, it’s advisable to do your heavy shopping after, unless you’re fine with leaving it beside the lockers.
5. You’ll be placed in capable hands

The park guides are well-trained to be attentive to your needs. At the beginning of every station, you’ll be briefed on the details of the game without giving away too much. At the Exa D13 Horror game, our guides told us to be prepared for jump scares and for disturbing graphics which greatly helped a chicken like myself.
Besides that, during one of the games that involved walking around a maze, the guide was around to ensure that we would not hurt ourselves by jumping or running into any physical obstructions.
6. Plan your journey

Exit Reality tickets are priced at RM38 (4 credits), RM75 (8 credits) and RM110 (12 credits). Quite a number of games come at 1 credit each but if you’d like something with more intense VR fun, they’ll cost about 2-3 credits per play.
Here’s the breakdown:
1 credit games: Beat Saber, Fruit Ninja, Audio Shield, Hado Monster, Hado PVP, Holowall, Run The River, Richie’s Plank, Titan Slayer and Raceroom2 credit games: Motion Blaster, Hurricane VR, Exa D13 Horror, VR Adventure3 credit games: Exa D12 (Sci-Fi), Exa Verxus (PVP) and Terminator X
Although the credits bought are non-refundable and non-transferable, you can top up more credits at the ticketing counter for another round of fun.
7. Fun for one and more

Sometimes we’d just like to play games on our own without having to care for another friend right? So for the ones who enjoy playing their games solo, here are the ones you’ll get to enjoy on your own.
For the single player: Beat Saber, Fruit Ninja, Audio Shield, Hado Monster, Holowall, Run The River, Richie’s Plank, Titan Slayer, Raceroom, Motion Blaster, Hurricane VR, VR Adventure
Bonus: The Exa Global Zero Latency games allow single players but tickets are sold separately.

However, games are always more enjoyable with friends as you get to be kiasu with each other! Be it having a shootout in a game of laser tag, playing dodgeball or facing monsters as a team, here are the multiplayer games for no FOMO feels. These games are arranged according to the maximum number of players allowed:
For the awesome foursome: EXA D13 Horror, Exa Verxus, Exa D12 (max 4 pax)For the double date with third wheelers: Hado PVP (max 6 pax)For the groupies: Terminator X (max 20 pax)
8. Beat the system
One of the drawbacks of relying on wearable tech for entertainment is their short battery life. While the goggles and consoles are replaced at the ports after usage, some encounter brief moments of equipment failure due to various reasons.
Hence, we’d recommend paying a visit to The Rift earlier in the day rather than towards the end of the day. Plus, you’ll get more time to explore the park!
Final admission time for All-Park tickets are at 7.30pm but for the regular ticket holders, it’s 8.30pm. You can pre-book your tickets 2 hours before heading over too!
Games that were worth our credits
Hollowall (1 credit)“It’s soooo worth the 1 credit cause you get to try multiple types of games within 10 mins and it burns you out. Depending on your stamina and agility, you’d spend about 1-2 minutes per game. Plus, there are height adjustments to accommodate players of different heights.”
-Matt and Joyce, the stamina and agility duo-
Hurricane VR (2 credits) “I get motion sickness in car rides but this 4 minutes passed in a flash. The drops and spins are so well paced out that it builds your anticipation without the risk of throwing up.”
-Anna, she who gets car sick-
Terminator X (3 credits)“Comparing to the other laser tags I’ve experienced, The Rift is pretty well-equipped. Although the playing field is divided into two floors, I’d imagine it would be a little cramped if there were 20 people playing at once.”
-Bing Han, he who slayed us all-
“The layout of the place was simple enough for it to be enjoyable without being physically taxing. In comparison to my previous experience that made me squat so much, my legs turned into jelly. Hence, I’d very much prefer to go for this one.”
-Sarah, she who conquered an active volcano-
Raceroom (1 credit)“This game isn’t VR-based but it’s interactive because you can race against your friends and be as competitive as you’d like to be. Totally worth the credit.”
-Iylia and Nick, the competitive duo-
Assassins Creed @ VR Adventure (2 credits)“The graphics were cool, there was a free fall part that felt so real even though I was standing on stable ground. Totes recommend it for a few minutes of feeling like Legolas fighting off ancient monsters because you get limitless arrows to shoot around. Plus, there’s also an adorable cat who guides you through the maze!”
-Evelyn, she who has terrible aim-
Beat Saber (1 credit)“This game was a really interactive, music-based game. Kinda like piano tiles except you’d get to slash blocks with light sabers. Perfect for Star Wars fans, you’ll get 2 songs per credit.”
-Fiqar, the Star Wars fanboy-

This dish is called Poke, a Hawaiian term for “section” or “to slice or cut”. Most of Paperfish’s meals are somewhat Japanese-inspired and you can expect plenty of fresh, seasoned sashimi and other greens on rice.

Forget Birthday Cakes, You’ll WANT To Have These 10-Inch Wide Ramly Burgers Instead

Are you totally obsessed with Ramly burgers? In fact, you would find yourself stopping by a Ramly burger stall to buy some and you know deep down inside, that one burger alone is never enough.
If I’ve just described you to a tee, then scroll further, but I must warn you…your stomach might just grumble a little.
Image Credit: I Love Malaysian Food
Hungry Bunch Sunway Pyramid has just recently unveiled their Hungry Mega Ramly Burger dish. The ingredients are no different from the typical Ramly burger. You’ll still get the same savoury patty (this time made in-house at Hungry Bunch), soft buns and mountain of ketchup. It’s pretty much like the OG burgers but this time, in a 10-inch pizza-size.
Image Credit: I Love Malaysian Food

Typically, this meal is best suited when someone’s having a birthday and would prefer having a savoury cake instead. Best part is, it’s also shareable. Unless, of course, you’re able to finish this bad boy on your own. 😛 This RM49 burger might be Hungry Bunch’s star attraction but there are other meals here to whet your appetite too.
Image Credit: Hungry Bunch
If the huge Ramly burger ain’t really your cup of tea, try out Hungry Bunch’s Japanese-Italian fusion dish called the Carbonara Tobiko instead. It is carbonara with a classic, creamy white sauce, topped off with a spoonful of tobiko. The Luigi Rice is made out of steamed rice with a protein of your choice (chicken or beef bolognese) and topped off with a runny egg.
Image Credit: Hungry Bunch
If you are a huge cheese fan, the Cheesy Steamboat would be right up your alley. It consists of fried chicken, wedges, mussels, mushroom and even salad. Who would’ve thought that crunchy lettuce would go so well with hot cheese? The Scandinavian would be an ideal meal to have if you enjoy having Scandinavian salmon paired with aglio olio spaghetti.
Image Credit: Hungry Bunch
If you’re coming in with a big group, you can opt for the Milo Tower or Royale Layer Tea Tower. They are basically the Milo drink and Royale Layer Tea placed within a large drink container.
So much food to try but if you don’t have a ginormous appetite, consider coming in to Hungry Bunch a couple of times and sample the best dishes that they have to offer. One thing’s for sure though, you simply can’t miss out on the mega Ramly Burger dish!

[DKL REVIEWS] This Dessert House Diversifies With Main Meals & Snacks On Their Menu

The moment I walked into Whip Up KL, I could smell coffee in the air and instantly felt energised. After I was seated by the friendly wait staff, I looked through the menu and found that everything looked insta-worthy. I couldn’t decide what to get and luckily the friendly staff came over to help us and recommended what’s good on the menu. The food arrived pretty fast and that earned Whip Up extra points in my book.
I had the “Avocado Croissant” which was recommended to me by the staff. It’s basically avocado smashed together with eggs and salad, served on a crispy croissant and a side of salad. I felt like this dish would be perfect for breakfast as it’s pretty fresh, healthy and not too filling. The portion isn’t too big too which means that there’s more space in my tummy for dessert later.

The second main I had was Whip Up’s signature Nasi Lemak. The rice was fragrant and it came with a generous portion of chicken and potatoes, while not forgetting the sunny side up with a runny yolk. Personally, it was nothing too special, but it definitely has everything you look for in a nasi lemak and you really can’t go wrong with this Malaysian dish when you’ve got all the basics in play.

For drinks, Whip Up had a variety to choose from; from coffee to tea to juices and so on. I tried the Green Tea Latte and Iced Chocolate.
When the Green Tea Latte arrived, it was super pretty and I almost did not want to stir it. Its taste did not disappoint either as the matcha flavour was strong, while still being creamy and milky. It’s perfect for any green tea lovers out there.

The Iced Chocolate came with a scoop of ice cream which was made in house by the team. The texture of the ice cream was smooth, creamy and full of flavour. The chocolate itself was pretty rich but surprisingly not too sweet either.

Finally, my favorite part of the meal has arrived: it was time for desserts. If you’re a dessert lover like me, I’d highly recommend trying out Whip Up’s desserts prior to your main meal, or opt to come in for the desserts alone.
The first dessert I had was called Total Meltdown and I can totally see why it is named as such (the dessert melts rather quick and is meant to be eaten as soon as it’s served). It comprised of a warm chocolate sauce mixed in with a tad bit of Bailey’s and drizzled over a soufflé-like cake. It is also served alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream and some caramelised walnuts. The warm sauce was thick and yummy and I felt that the Bailey’s made the flavour pop more.

The final dish we tried happened to be my favourite from the evening. The Go Limango looked so good that I almost felt sad to pull it apart with my fork. The dessert is a soft cheesecake with a touch of lime that laid on a bed of crumble with some mangoes and coconut tuille on the side. It was a love at first bite and fortunately, tasted as good as it looked. The cheesecake was a thick mousse-like texture that went well with the crumble whereas the lime complemented the taste of the cheesecake well. It’s a dish I would definitely come back for.

Whip Up is predominantly a dessert house concept but you’d still find main meals served here, though I personally found that their stronger suit lies in sweet treats. They’ve got a good mix of sweet and savoury as well as Western and Asian flavours, which means that there’d be something for everyone.
I was told that the plated desserts are Whip Up’s attraction and having tried them for myself, I can see why. Go Limango, till we meet again.

This Japanese-inspired whimsical affair will get the high sushi par-tea rolling

During Finch’s Whimsical Afternoon Tea & Grand Launch Party at The Westin KL, we got to experience a taste of the restaurant’s new menu.
It’s derived from their fantasy wonderland theme, offering quite the range of delights, and the party was also in conjunction with their one-year anniversary.
Finch was initially launched in 2021, but it could not celebrate with a grand opening due to the pandemic, hence their grand launch this year.

As we made our way upstairs, we admired how the entire level was filled with ambient lighting that bounced beautifully off the decor.
Once we took our respective places, we were asked to choose between Finch’s signature mocktails, Apple Wanderlust or Magic Flower. The Apple Wanderlust is a combination of pegaga, apple, aloe vera, and honey.

On the other hand, Magic Flower is a combination made of bunga kantan, lychee, and lime. I chose this drink as I do not like apple juice in general and lychee happens to be one of my favourite fruits.
It was the most refreshing mocktail I’ve had in awhile. The bunga kantan itself produced a sweet and sour flavour with shades of citrus.
The lime brought a freshness to the drink and the lychee was sweet and juicy, yet again reminding me why it was one of my favourites.
Afternoon tea with a taste of Japan
We started off the afternoon with the Hiru-Tea set (RM138) as this was the main highlight.
The three-tiered set consisted of Sashimi Salad, Chuka Wakame, Chuka Hotate, Yawara Kani Maki, and Salmon Ball Nigiri.

The Yawara Kani Maki, rolled tightly in spices with sushi rice and wrapped in seaweed, stood out among the rest.
This dish features shredded kani crab sticks tossed in a spicy Kewpie mayo sauce, then rolled out in seasoned sushi rice, seaweed, and tobiko. It was deliciously creamy and spicy at the same time.
The chef slicing the mango
We were also presented with the Chef’s selection of sashimi, which were mini tarts with choices of salmon, maguro (tuna), and white fish.
The shells of the tart were buttery and crispy. When eaten, the flavours burst in my mouth, and I easily tasted the combination of the sweetness from the tart and a fine sour taste from the maguro.
As I’m not a huge fan of tuna, I was pleasantly surprised when I tasted the mini tart and actually liked the taste and the flavour combination that was present.
Image Credit: Finch
Next, we had the Foie Gras Anago Makizushi (RM75) which consisted of foie gras, tempura anago (saltwater eels), and mango pieces on top of it.
The final product (Foie Gras Anago Makizushi)
Following that, we proceeded to try the Tsurai Aburi Salmon (RM45). In this creation, there was salmon, bird’s eye chilli, spicy mayo, and tobiko.
Afterwards, we had the Carpaccio, a dish of thinly sliced raw sushi that was served with truffle dressing. The flavours that go together with this are the Ocean Mikkusu (RM75), and Tokyo Hamachi (RM85).
(Left to right) Ocean Mikkusu and Tokyo Hamachi / Image Credit: Finch
The final part of the Hiru-Tea set was a tea selection of Earl Grey, moringa, chamomile, and green tea (RM12).
We didn’t get to choose the type of tea that we wanted, instead, we were just served the moringa tea. No matter though, as it was what I would have chosen if given the choice. The tea in general was nice, not too sweet and somewhat calming.
From bites to appetisers
We had the Spicy Butter Fresh Water Prawns served with Fried Man Tao Buns (RM80). This dish consisted of U5 grade freshwater prawns (U5s are large, rare, and expensive), creamy butter, and bird’s eye chilli.
The prawns were fresh, tender and had a firm, yet soft texture to it. They were also very juicy and meaty and they absorbed all the flavours well.

Moving on, our next dish was the Lobster Bisque (RM60) which contained Canadian lobster, mirepoix (a flavour base made from diced vegetables cooked, usually with butter, oil, or other fat), and cream.

Made with lobster shells, aromatics, and spices, it was rich and smooth. The pureed broth had a mild seafood flavour, followed by a slight kick of heat.
Then, we moved on to the Grilled Corn (RM23). The ingredients used in this are sweet corn, yuzu, chilli, butter, and anchovies.
Although we couldn’t taste the anchovies, we figured they acted as a savoury flavour-enhancer to the corn.

The Western experience
Though we were absolutely filled by this point, we had one last dish on the menu to try, and that was the Black Cod with Mushroom Risotto (RM85).
The dish consisted of Alaskan black cod, arborio rice, and button mushroom. The fish was fatty meat with a velvety texture and mild buttery-sweet flavour. Meanwhile, the mushroom risotto was creamy, earthy, and full of flavours.

All in all, the entire high-tea was filled with surprises, with a few dishes I had not expected to like being pleasant to my tastebuds instead.
Overall, the portion of the Hiru-Set was just nice for 2 pax. Although we understand the entire point of this launch was to try their new menu, combining the heavier dishes such as the fish, bisque, and prawns was slightly overwhelming.
However, regular customers will have the choice of picking between high-tea, appetisers, and main meals, along with a variety of beverages when it comes to filling their stomachs.
If you’re already planning to experience Finch for yourself, be sure to dress the part as it is an upscale restaurant, and you wouldn’t want to be the only one underdressed.

8 Breathtaking Waterfalls In Selangor You'd Gladly Put Your Hiking Shoes On For

You don’t need much moolah to experience the best that KL has to offer. In fact, sometimes, all you need is a pair of hiking shoes, an appetite for adventure and a healthy level of stamina. Right here in our backyard of Selangor, we have a wealth of options to choose from and the best part is, they’re all accessible by the public. Here are 8 breathtaking waterfalls that every KL-ite should visit at least once in their lifetime.
1. Bukit Saga Waterfall, Ampang
Image Credit: Hamydy
In order to get to the Bukit Saga Waterfall, hikers would first have to hike for an estimate of 25-30 minutes. One of the more popular hikes on this list, it’s best to head to the waterfall on weekdays. Plus point: most days, you’d find a nasi lemak stall as well as a place to get fresh fruits and drinks for your picnic by the waterfall. Just remember to pack up your trash before you descend.
2. Perdik Waterfall, Hulu Langat
Image Credit: Panoramio
The Perdik waterfall is one of the littler known waterfalls, making it a calm and serene picnic location which is devoid of huge crowds. The falls consists of several different levels but getting to the lower tier rock face would suffice if your intention is to have a refreshing dip in the water.
3. Sungai Tekala Waterfall, Semenyih

Sungai Tekala Waterfall is one for the lazy bunch. Yup, you don’t have to hike for hours to get to this hidden gem within the forest. Highly accessible, there are concrete steps that’ll lead you straight to the falls which is only a mere 10-minute walk away. Just to be safe though, avoid hiking up in slippers and put on a sensible pair of hiking sneakers instead.
4. Sungai Gabai Waterfall, Hulu Langat
Image Credit: Tuah Roslan
333 concrete steps will lead you to the Sungai Gabai waterfall with plenty of rest stops close by. This will lead you to the bottom level of the waterfall. There are 3 levels in total, with the highest being the most challenging but only requires a short hike to get to. There’s even a small pool which you can slide into, by way of some smooth, large rocks which have been eroded by the water over time.
5. Sungai Lepoh Waterfall, Hulu Langat

The hike leading to the Lepoh River waterfall might be an uphill battle for most of the way but hikers are advised to take it slow. It’s after all a 1-2 hour journey to the falls and it would certainly be an adventurous one, with plenty of flora and fauna along the way, including ginger flowers and adorable monkeys.

Kanching Waterfall is a 7-tier cascading natural masterpiece. Each tier brings about a different set of surprises but if you’re looking for an easier hike, opt for the first 4 levels, which has cement steps leading up to it. However, if you choose to ascend to the top of the falls, you’d be rewarded by a pool of clear spring water that you’d be tempted to wade in. At the end of your hike to the uppermost levels of this waterfall, choose to have a picnic here.
7. Serendah Waterfall, Selangor

As compared to the other falls in this list, Serendah Waterfall may not be as large and but that does not mean that it’s not equally as majestic. Rich in history, this source of water is actually close to the living grounds of some Orang Asli groups. One things that you definitely do not have to worry about whilst here is large crowds. It’s not as popular as some of the bigger waterfalls in Klang Valley but is still a good spot for picnics and for swimming.
8. Komanwel Waterfall, Rawang

A word of caution: leeches are abundant at the Komanwel Falls (as is, with most waterfalls/rivers and hiking spots), but that should not deter you from paying Komanwell Falls (which is a part of the Commonwealth Forest Park) a visit. This waterfall got its name for being launched during the 14th Commonwealth Forestry Conference in KL, 24 years ago. What’s more apt is that the waterfall is the 14th stop and attraction at the forest park.

Curated cocktails & a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf make up a good time at this TTDI speakeasy

Designed by co-founders and university friends, Ben Nair and Shawn Luke, the ambience at TTDI speakeasy bar The First Chapter is premium and exclusive, aided by the large mirrors and sensual lighting. But in true speakeasy fashion, our way in was not quite as straightforward when we visited a month ago.
Parking in the popular area can be a bit of a nightmare, but patience and circling around paid off. After that, we looked for the entrance, and came upon a big black door with no signage.
To its right was a passcode lock, confirming that this was the place since we were given a password of the day when we made our reservation with the team.
Past the unlocked door, we walked up the stairs to find a massive floor-to-ceiling bookshelf. Later we learnt that it contained over 1,300 titles, from self-help books to romance novels.

Like a library, guests can grab a book to read at the bar, or borrow one to return at a later date. You can donate a title as a replacement for keeping a book of your fancy too.
At the end of the massive bookcase is the real door into The First Chapter, and the moment you step in, you’re engulfed in dimness.
Entering the bar behind the books
You’ll enter a waiting area, where large wooden partitions separate you from the VIP area on your left, and the bar lounge on your right. It was intentionally designed this way to preserve guests’ privacy while revealing the place to you bit by bit.
Bartenders shaking and stirring our drinks
In the VIP area, the leather sofas and coffee table seats host between 4-10 pax, providing spacious and private nooks for groups. Even the decor on the walls was chosen specifically to play around with light and shadows in the space, leaving your eyes with structures and shapes to constantly discover.
A premium lounge as seats
Arriving at 5PM to catch the silence before the party picked up at 8.30PM, we were first served The First Chapter’s beef and chicken sausage rolls that weren’t on the menu yet.
They’re the perfect bar snack, salty and not too greasy, accompanied by sweet and slightly spicy dips. The flavourful and well-seasoned meat was wrapped in delightfully light and crispy skin, the entire dish arriving hot at our table, made fresh in the kitchen just prior.
However, the team recently confirmed that they decided to switch up the menu again so this snack didn’t make it to the new list. Instead, the new food menu includes Beef Sliders & Fries, Fried Button Mushrooms, Gula Melaka Chicken Bites, and Onion Rings.
We didn’t try any of those, but the delicious sausage rolls we had that evening would lead us to believe that the rest of the food at The First Chapter, made by their in-house kitchen and overseen by Shawn, is just as good.
Bar snacks to complement our cocktails
Let’s talk cocktails
Raspberry Spritz (TBA)
Ben’s a fan of Prosecco and champagne for their bubbly and refreshing feel to the palate.
Mixed with a Martini Prosecco along with raspberry syrup and puree, the then-yet-to-be-named cocktail (now called Raspberry Spritz) tasted like a refreshing juice you’d crave on a hot day. At least, that’s what it was to those of us who were frequent drinkers.

Those of us who weren’t frequent bar-hoppers found the flavours of the cocktail a little too boozy for our liking. But we appreciated how well balanced the flavours were, neither too sweet nor too sour.
It’s still not yet on the menu, but the team assured us that it’s coming soon.
The Mandarine (RM38)
Being a sweet tooth, I’m personally not a fan of citrusy cocktails or yuzu in general. But I do love myself a good ol’ Whiskey Sour, and The Mandarine is Ben’s oriental twist on the classic.

The minority of us who appreciated tangy flavours and the burn from high-proof whiskeys was definitely a fan of The Mandarine. Although, we did find that the cocktail tasted more like a sour orange, rather than a sweet Mandarine.
The Mandarine incorporates prohibition whiskey, Cointreau (orange liqueur), yuzu, orange, and lemon, topped with a silky aquafaba as a vegan alternative to egg white foam on classic cocktails.
This was probably my first time being exposed to aquafaba. Aquafaba doesn’t really taste like anything in particular (it’s just like a foam), and it’s something I can appreciate in Ben’s cocktails because the idea of having raw egg whites in my drink doesn’t sit very well with me, to which Ben agreed with.
Fun fact, another one of the bar’s founders (whom we didn’t meet that day) is vegan himself, so every diary item in cocktails served at The First Chapter is also replaced with a vegan-friendly alternative.
The Scottish Nut (RM35)
Made with Johnnie Walker Black, house-infused hazelnut tincture, and fresh lime, The Scottish Nut tasted like everything it says it is. Chocolaty, citrusy, sweet, and perfectly balanced all around.
Just like with The Mandarine, the whiskey lover among us was a big fan of this.
Ben’s Margarita (RM38)
The Scottish Nut on the left, and Ben’s Margarita on the right
Like me, Ben prefers sweeter cocktails and is not a fan of Margaritas, particularly those with salt rims. Unlike me though, he actually wants to drink Margaritas and fancies making his own.
Thus, Ben’s Margarita: a Margarita the Bar Manager actually wants to drink.
Instead of a salt rim, he adds a pinch of sea salt into the mix itself. Think of it like adding salt to chocolate brownies to accentuate their sweetness and suppress the bitterness, while overall enhancing their flavour.
He also throws in Agave Nectar to make his tequila-based cocktail a little sweeter, while topping it with more lime juice to balance out the overall flavour.
Thanks to the little tweaks Ben has made to the classic, it tastes like a Margarita catered for those who aren’t too fond of overly zesty flavours.
Wake Me The F*ck Up (RM35)
Reminiscent of an Espresso Martini, Wake Me The F*ck Up mixes house-infused vanilla vodka, Kahlua (coffee liqueur), and The First Chapter’s in-house cold brew.
We were told that the intention of the cocktail was so guests could start their night with the drink to wake up and feel energised for the party. When you finally get home, struggling to sleep at the end of the night, you’ll remember the cocktail (and good memories).

The bitterness from the cold brew elegantly complemented the lingering sweetness of Kahlua. One of us isn’t a fan of cold brews because she doesn’t appreciate their sour notes, but she was happy to report that you’ll find none of that in the cocktail.
We were in agreement that Wake Me The F*ck Up was one of our faves. It can be a pretty dangerous cocktail because of how easy it is to drink, since the “burn” from alcohol was masked almost too well here.
So for those who aren’t fans of spirit-forward cocktails, this one’s for you.
Payasam (RM30)
Ben’s take on the Indian dessert it’s named after, the flavour of The First Chapter’s Payasam reminded us of Baskin Robbin’s mint chocolate chip ice cream.
After all, it contains Crème De Menthe (mint liqueur), Crème De Cacao (chocolate liqueur), coconut cream, and Fernet Branca, garnished with dried coconut flakes.

Served with a side of Murukku, you can munch on it simultaneously for a harmonious combination akin to McDonald’s salty fries dipped in its creamy soft serve.
Our sweet tooths were the most excited to try this dessert cocktail. In fact, it was my favourite drink of the night because of how uncommon it is to find elsewhere.
Regina George (RM38)

Regina George contains raspberry syrup and bubble gum tincture. It’s Ben’s rendition of the classic Clover Club, swapping out gin for vodka, and egg white for aquafaba.
For us 90’s kids, the Mean Girl inspired cocktail is reminiscent of Bubble Yum. The raspberry syrup in the mixture did remind some of us of cough syrup though, but it wasn’t too overpowering of a flavour.
Bottoms up!
Based on The First Chapter’s name, we initially assumed the bar emulated a library and served drinks inspired by fictional book characters.
Apart from Regina George, they’ve admittedly yet to create such character-inspired drinks, but aren’t dismissing the opportunity. Like most speakeasies, The First Chapter will switch out its cocktail menu every six months.
Opened from Tuesdays to Saturdays with Happy Hour at 5-8PM (cocktails and draft beers are 50% off), they also host themed parties on Wednesdays (totally not a Mean Girls reference), and Ladies’ Night on Thursdays.
Reservations are required in general, and there is a minimum spend required for 1-3 bottles if you’re booking a table for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights.
