Our Resident Bubble Tea Skeptic Ranks 9 Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Teas From SS15

Let’s face it. Nobody really knows why people would queue the length of 3 shop lots just for a beverage with chewy tapioca balls in it. What’s more, it’s also along a street with easily 5 different bubble milk tea shops that basically sells almost the same thing.
Or do they not?
Brown sugar bubble milk tea contains 4 main ingredients, namely brown sugar, tapioca pearls, milk and tea. The tapioca pearls are typically cooked with brown sugar (also known as molasses) to absorb the smokey caramel flavour.
In bubble milk drinks, certain brands would add variants of cream to create a heavier and fuller beverage that would otherwise taste like well, milk and mini glutinous rice balls.

As for the tea, it varies between each franchise on their options of black, white, oolong, green tea and more.
But I was personally still not convinced that there would be such stark differences between these many brown sugar bubble milk tea options to warrant a village queuing for some and none for the rest.
Hence, I decided to hit up Bubble Tea Street in SS15 to try 9 of them.
Note: Gong Cha and Te Amo were dropped from the list as they ran out of brown sugar pearls.
We standardised the drink flavour to level the playing field and each bubble tea store received the following order:
Brown Sugar Pearl Milk TeaNormal SugarLittle Ice/No Ice/Served Warm
Here’s how they ranked:
#9 Moge Tee
Brown Sugar Bubble Milk Tea (RM14)
On first look, the colour of this drink already sets itself apart with its reddish tint. Among the 9 I tried, I would dare say this is by far the lightest tasting brown sugar pearl milk tea.
It tasted like skimmed milk was poured into steeped tea, which is great for those who dislike their drinks milky, such as my colleague who is lactose intolerant.
The pearls were no different from a regular tapioca pearl consistency but with this drink being the most expensive of the lot, I would say there has to be a better balance of milk to tea ratio.
Order this if you prefer your milk tea to be more tea than milk. Alternatively, order their signature Cheese Fruit Tea instead.
Hours: 12am-1am, daily
Address: No.34, Ground Floor, Jalan SS15/4D, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor
Website: Moge Tee
Tel: 03-5611 6615
#8 Mui Tea
 Brown Sugar Lava Milk Tea (RM10.90)
Located in a quieter part of SS15, the shop seemed rather serene and peaceful from the outside during their off peak period. However, obtaining this drink still came with a rather long wait as the tearistas made themselves scarce upon receiving the single order.
The pearls were chewy with extreme levels of brown sugar flavours to it. As the milk tea was rather diluted on its own, the pearls gave a brown sugar explosion with every bite.
Order this if you are all about the brown sugar and enjoy the taste of it—you’re also likely the sort who would order a milk tea with full sugar.
Hours: Mondays-Thursdays: 11am-12am; Fridays-Saturdays: 11am-2am; Sundays: 11am-12am
Address: No.18, Jalan SS 15/4b, Ss 15, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor
Website: Mui Tea
Tel: 012-397 9987
#7 Cha Wan Jia
 Dirty Black Sugar Tea (RM12.90)
According to their website, it has taken them 10 years to perfect their 8mm pearls that are handmade with naturally-sourced ingredients. While most would call bull on commercialised products with such claims, what we liked was the usage of golden pearls in their bubble teas.
Golden brown with an outer layer of transparency, these large pearls were unfortunately too gooey and goopy for my liking. They were basically like tiny balls of tang yuen in milk tea.
Honestly, even with the brown sugar streaks running down the side of the cup, it tasted inferior to the rest, especially considering the price.
The drink itself had a foamy consistency with a high concentration of milk powdery taste to it. While it would likely fill you up, I’d personally get sick of it after a few sips.
Order this if you are into handmade pearls and need a milky drink to fill you up. Alternatively, order yourself a Mango Jasmine Rainbow Pearl Green Tea (RM10.90) instead. It’s really thirst-quenching and has bits of fresh fruits and fruit pearls in it.
Hours: Saturdays-Wednesdays: 11.30am-12am; Thursdays-Fridays: 1130am-1am
Address: 34, Jalan SS 15/8, Ss 15, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor
Website: Cha Wan Jia
Tel: 03-5870 3916
#6 Tealive
 Signature Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea (RM6.50)
The OG and one of the pioneers in Brown Sugar Milk Tea in Klang Valley. This was the tea that I started my review with as it’s a pretty standard baseline for a brown sugar milk tea and one that most Malaysians should be familiar with. Also, it’s my usual order.
For RM6.50, this drink gets it done. The pearls are chewier and definitely not the softest. But the milk and tea ratio is pretty balanced. No fancy pansy brown sugar streaks either, but they make up for it by being very accessible—Tealive is literally available everywhere now.
However, they do occasionally mess up your order with the sugar and ice ratios, as seen in the picture. I’ve personally experienced the blunder at other Tealive outlets too.
Order this if you just need to kick a bubble milk tea craving to the curb.
Hours: Mondays-Thursdays: 10am-10pm; Fridays: 10am-10.30pm; Saturdays: 12pm-10.30pm; Sundays: 12pm-10pm
Address: 45, First Floor, Jalan SS 15/8a, Ss 15, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor
Website: Tealive
Tel: 03-6144 5581
#5 OneZo
 Brown Sugar Dirty Milk (RM8)
You might have heard of this particular bubble tea shop selling Pokeball pearls a few months back. With their personal mission to change up the traditionally-made brown sugar pearls, OneZo’s pearls are all handmade.
Hence, if you’ve ordered a drink here before, you’d have heard them strongly advising you to enjoy it as soon as possible. Failure to heed the advice results in a cup of hard pearls rather than their original soft and chewy ones.
Pearl-blems aside, the milk tea wasn’t anything too special to note. It was quite similar to the generic bubble milk tea brands you would find for a slightly lower price.
Order this if you are looking into getting different types of fresh handmade pearls such as sweet potato, caramel, cactus and seasonal offerings like their Pokemon pearls. Plus, their drinks are offered in smaller servings too.
Hours: 11am-1am, daily
Address: 70-G, Jalan SS 15/4, Ss 15, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor
Website: OneZo
Tel: 014-319 9328
#4 Daboba
 Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea (RM12.90)
Hate me if you will, but Daboba was a let down. Having had to queue up for at least 15 minutes and wait another 15 minutes, you could say that it gave me false heightened expectations.
Perhaps the wait could be attributed to the fact that most of the customers ordered brown sugar milk tea with an additional layer of torched cheese, which meant that each staff had to spend a longer amount of time preparing each drink.
Nevertheless, the large chewy pearls were fine but the milk was thin and the tea was light. In hindsight, perhaps their brown sugar milk with extra torched cheese would make for a better order.
Order this if you are ordering in bulk and driving through rocky roads. Their cups are sealed with an adorable bear-shaped cover, so there’d be less of a chance for tea spillage!
Hours: 12.30pm-12.30am, daily
Address: 25, Jalan SS15/4, SS15, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor
Website: Daboba
Tel: 011-3662 2438
#3 Xing Fu Tang
 Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea (RM12.20)
Famously known for the brown sugar milk drink, they also offer a version of the drink with tea. Priced on the higher end of the spectrum, I’d say it’s worth the wait as there’s some specialty to it.
Their pearl frying wok in front of the store serves more purpose than just being a gimmick. In comparison to all the other brown sugar pearls, the frying does give the drink a distinct charred taste thanks to theirs being stir fried.
Although the tea was on the lighter side, I think the pearls differentiated them from the rest of the crowd. This drink was ordered warm hence the lack of brown sugar streaks.
But hey, that’s alright because it was like drinking a comforting cup of warm milk tea with pillowy soft pearls.
Order this if you like the taste of extra roasted milk tea.
Hours: 12pm-1am, daily
Address: 88G, Jalan SS 15/4, Ss 15, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor
Website: Xing Fu Tang
Tel: 011-3113 6545
#2 The Black Whale
 Brown Sugar Whaletball Milk Tea (RM10.90)
Being one of the newer kids on the block (having recently opened on June 8th), The Black Whale is definitely a must-try. Located in the SS15 bubble tea street, there was a short queue when we ordered at 2.30pm on a Thursday.
The tapioca pearls are on the slightly smaller side, and the overall drink had a kao three-layered roasted milk tea taste to it. Imagine Chatime but with richer and silkier milk. Even though it had to be ordered with a little bit of ice (they wouldn’t let me order it without), the taste of the drink remained pretty rich even after the ice has melted.
Ordering might take slightly longer here but trust me, their cashier is very thorough in making sure you order the best version of the drink. Plus, you can customise your sugar levels here.
Sip this if you like to try new hype trends and for a pretty premium tasting brown sugar pearl milk tea priced in the mid ranges.
Hours: 12pm-1am, daily
Address: No. 33, Jalan SS 15/4, Ss 15, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor
Website: The Black Whale
Tel: 019-770 9090
#1 Shifen Station
 Signature Marblearl Milk Tea (RM10.90)
Personally, this was my fave but it’s interchangeable with No. 2 which is equally as good too. The pearls were not too soft that it felt goopy, and still had a little chew to it. Plus, the fragrance of their tea really stood out from the rest with hints of Earl Grey in it.
Their brown sugar was not too sweet nor was it overpowered by the taste of caramel. The thickness of the milk gives the drink a nice texture too.
With the price being in the middle range and no ungodly sea of people to battle, I’d say this would be one I’d most likely return for.
Sip this if you like Earl Grey Milk Tea.
Hours: 11am-1am, daily
Address: 80, Jalan SS 15/4d, Ss 15, SS15, 47500 Kuala Lumpur, Selangor
Website: Shifen Station
Tel: 03-5886 0580

At the end of the day, I’m glad to be able to say that I now see a difference between these bubble tea brands and the reasons some have cult followings.
If you ask me, I’d return for Shifen Station and The Black Whale for my brown sugar pearl milk tea fix.
And if you’re sick of brown sugar milk tea, they have plenty of other flavour options to try. Fruit tea boba, anyone?

Biscoff S'more Cookies From @fiv.confections (October 2020)

Before tasting the goodies we were kindly sent from @fiv.confections, we had a little discussion about how to pronounce the name of the brand..If you guessed “Five”, you got it right, haha.
Basque Burnt Cheesecake (RM60/600g): This is a very comfortable 5.5” in diameter, and the size is just right. It’s perfect for smaller groups, and a nice enough quantity to share without overindulging. The baker did recommend us to eat it 10mins after taking it out of the fridge. Sure enough, it’s a good balance of sweetness, lightness, cheesiness, and is also melt-in-the-mouth.

Sarah liked this so much that it made its way onto her must-order-again list. “Tastes [expletive] amazing,” she said, and when she’s swearing (happily) while eating food, you know it’s rated highly on her personal list. One slight quibble is that we wish for even more “burning” on the cake (especially the sides) to produce an extra char and flavour.
Banana Bread (RM18/300g loaf): We need to preface this with one of our usual disclaimers: out of the 3 tasters for these, 1 person eats pisang goreng but disdains bananas in any other form, the other 2 just dislike bananas in general and would refrain from eating the fruit in any shape or dessert.

BUT, this banana bread is really, really good. It’s soft, moist, holds together well when picked up (meaning it’s not crumbly and dry), the flavour is fragrant, and we enjoyed the extra texture that we got from the crispy sugar coating on the top. All 3 of us ate it happily and plot twist, this was actually Venxhin’s pick for her favourite out of the baked goods we tried! This is also another one that Sarah will gladly order again.
Biscoff S’mores Cookies (RM6/piece): You thought we were done with biscoff, but biscoff was not done with us. Visually, these cookies looked enticing!

Bite-wise, the marshmallow centre was a little stiff when pulled apart, which means that if we were to eat it, it might be a little tougher to properly chew through. True enough, our first few bites weren’t super enjoyable and it crumbled quite easily. But there was an easy solution!

We popped it into the oven for a couple of minutes and instantly the texture was better. The bottom of the cookie had a crispier crust and the marshmallows got meltier. Together, it made for a much better chewing experience.

The classic chocolate chip version also has a stronger aftertaste in the cookie batter. Almost cinnamon/gingerbread-like, so it might not be everyone’s cup of tea. Thus of the two, we definitely enjoyed the double chocolate chip version with the unsweetened dark cocoa more!
Biscoff Financier (RM15 for 5 pieces): We didn’t have the best experience with these financiers, we found that they were quite dry and dense, instead of being light and spongy inside with a crisp crust. It’s difficult to nail financiers right though so perhaps this could be improved with just a bit more practice!

@fiv.confections has already made a mark on our hearts, and it’s likely that at least one of us is going to make a repeat order soon. Also on pricing, this home baker uses the French gourmet butter, Elle & Vire in her baked goods. So really, you’re also paying for quality ingredients. We also saw that there’s an Earl Grey Basque Burnt Cheesecake on the menu, you can probably guess what we might be aiming for next 😉

Feel Like Royalty With The World's First Swarovski-Bedazzled Merry-Go-Round In Pavillion

Last year, Swarovski built one of the tallest Christmas trees ever, with its height reaching up to the 4th floor of the Pavilion shopping complex in KL.  It was decorated with thousands of precious Swarovski crystals and truly was a beautiful sight. Not only that, it was also considered as one of the tallest crystals trees thoughout Southeast Asia. Many flocked to Pavilion for a chance to take a picture with the Christmas tree.

This year, they have definitely outdone themselves with another Swarovski display. In line with the upcoming Christmas celebration, Swarovski presents the first Swarovski Crystallised Merry Go Round in the world! Imagine having your carousel decked out in Swarovski jewels which sparkles as it turns around and around.

This concept was inspired by Swarovski Crystal World in Austria and with that, the designers and builders were set to create something similar to the Austrian version.

In order to ride on the merry-go-round, one need only pay a fee of RM10. 10% of the proceeds will be donated to charity. Riding on the horses might make one feel like a princess and you can enjoy the ride until January 1, only at Pavilion mall.

Would You Want To Try These 7 Unusual Spa Treatments In Klang Valley?

After a long day, sometimes all we want to do is sit back, take a deep breath, unclench our tight muscles, and just relax. Sure, there are the usual tried and tested ways of doing it, from the likes of massages to aromatherapy, but wouldn’t you want to step out of your comfort zone and try something new at the spa this time? Here are some of the more unconventional ways to shape up and pamper yourself in KL’s spas. Who knows, you might find your new go-to method!
Isolation Tank
Image credit: thefloatstudio.com
Does floating on water alone, in darkness, in an enclosed tank for an hour sound appealing to you? If yes, you must have heard of the isolation tanks used nowadays as a method of relaxation.
A small, bathtub-sized tank is filled with salt water and warmed to the exact temperature of human skin. While inside, you’re supposed to float mindlessly on the water, letting your mind relax and taking advantage of the complete state of sensory deprivation to clear your mind and completely unwind. Because the temperature of the air, water, and your skin are the same, it’s supposed to emit the sensation of floating in nothingness.
Apparently, many have claimed that they fall into such a deep state of relaxation that they start to hallucinate and are in a state between being awake and asleep. Benefits include significantly decreased stress levels, increased creativity, improved sleep, syncing of the left-brain and right-brain, and a number of other health benefits. If you aren’t claustrophobic or afraid of water, definitely give it a try at Be Urban Wellness, Damansara Heights!
Electrical Muscle Stimulation
Image credit: arabia.style.com
Would you go so far as to electrocute yourself to burn off your fat? If you want to lose weight and get fit, but you feel like you’ve tried everything and nothing seems to be working, you can technically just zap your fat away!
Be Urban Wellness also offers electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) treatments, where you would be wearing special clothing that’s hooked up to give you bioelectrical impulses. These electric zaps are supposed to make your muscles contract and expand easier, meaning your workout sessions will be a lot more effective. I know that sounds scary, but apparently it works!

EMS is usually used for strength training, or rehabilitation for disabled patients, and many have testified that they’ve seen good results in a considerably shorter amount of time compared to regular workouts. Apparently their 20-minute sessions are 18 times more effective than normal workouts, and you can burn up to 500 calories per session. That’s a whole Big Mac gone in 20 minutes! Be Urban Wellness is offering a free trial for their EMS treatments, so you’ll be able to see how well this suits you!
Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber

Seeing as the air we’re breathing in now only contains about 21% of oxygen, have you ever wondered what it would feel like to breathe in 100% pure oxygen? Be Urban Wellness also has a special oxygen chamber, so you don’t have to wonder anymore!
Oxygen therapies have long been used to promote healing, especially of skin wounds and diseases, and are a favourite of Hollywood celebrities for its myriad benefits. Upon entering the oxygen chamber, 100% pure oxygen will be pumped through, which means your body will have open and easy contact with it.
Oxygen provides loads of benefits to your skin and body, including increased performance, faster healing, and a more youthful and glowing complexion, among other things. If you’re at the end of your rope and are looking for some new, beneficial body treatments to try out, why not this one?
Chromotherapy
Image credit: sunlighten.com
We all have different favourite colours, and science has tried to explain why, maybe even that our favourite colours can give insight into our personalities. But with chromotherapy, which is the science of using colours, and hence their electromagnetic radiation, to cure diseases, colours now have medical benefits!
According to scientific studies, specific vibrations in specific colours can help to cure specific ailments. For example, red light activates the circulatory and nervous systems, yellow light purifies the skin, violet light relaxes the nerves and lymphatic systems, and orange light energizes and eliminates fat.
Sweatspa in KL provides chromotherapy treatments so that you can experience this interesting cure for yourself. Choose your colours based on which area of yourself you want to heal or improve, and see if it works out for you!
Aroma Chroma Oxygen Therapy

If you want to experience both chromotherapy and oxygen therapy, there’s a place that combines the two so you’ll get the benefits of both at the same time. Besides that, they’ll also throw in an aromatherapy treatment as well, so it’s a 3-in-1 deal!
La Beaute de la Suisse in Shah Alam has their Aroma Chroma Oxygen therapy, combining the healing benefits of aromatherapy, colour therapy, and oxygen therapy. The oxygen will energize our skin cells and help to regenerate them, while chromotherapy’s colour vibrations will stimulates our cells, and aromatherapy’s essential oils will be better absorbed into the skin after the pervious treatments. When all three are combined, the results are extra potent and effective!
Choose between a few different kinds of colour treatments that targets specific skin types, like red for mature and dry skin, yellow for hyperpigmented skin, green for oily and acne-prone skin, and blue for sensitive and dehydrated skin. It sounds quite intense, but it seems to have worked out pretty well!
Infrared Sauna
Image credit: skinboutiqueexperts.com
Instead of heating up a sauna using hot stones or an electric heater, the infrared sauna at Sweatspa uses infrared rays to directly heat up the core of the body, which acts as a natural way to detoxify the body. Through infrared saunas, you can rid your body of toxic chemicals, heavy metals, and even slim down your physique!
Sweatspa’s sauna uses a ‘proprietary blend’ of infrared wavelengths (that you can actually customize) in order to target specific ailments on the body. For example, near infrared waves promote healing, cell health and rejuvenation, and purifies skin, whereas far infrared waves promote weight loss, relaxation, and body detox. Sounds pretty good to me!
Acoustic Resonance Therapy (ART)
Image credit: sunlighten.com
Did you know that people have been using soundwaves for health benefits and relaxation? The things that people come up with to relax!
Sound therapists usually use such instruments as drums, tuning forks, or Himalayan singing bowls (?) to encourage the body to relax. However in Sweatspa, they implement ART into their infrared saunas, which combine the benefits of sound and vibrations to harmonize the body and ease relaxation for the body. They claim that by listening to soothing music and feeling the vibrations of it through our bodies, it will stimulate the body’s natural relaxation response. I wouldn’t know how true it is since I’ve never tried it myself, but it wouldn’t hurt to give it a go!
Even though these spa treatments sound quite unconventional and weird, it wouldn’t hurt to give them a try! After all, you’ll never know if you’d like it until you’ve given it a shot! Know of any other unusual beauty treatments in the Klang Valley? Let us know!

Trust us, The Westin KL’s Ramadhan buffet is a hard one to beat in terms of variety & value

The first time we experienced the joys of The Westin Kuala Lumpur’s food, we were stuffed and chuffed. There was just so. Much. Food.
For their Ramadhan buffet, simply called The Westin Bazaar, the situation was no different. In fact, I believe there were even more dishes, about 380 in total, cooked up by a team of 20. Though our stomachs weren’t prepared, our excitement was unbridled.
Chef Hamid Buyong and some of his team members in front of the boat
Before we even start, I must admit that we were thoroughly overwhelmed and had no game plan, but 90% of what we tried was delicious in the “I’m going back for Round 2” way, a decision that was only foiled by our limited stomach space.
Here’s what our eyes and mouths feasted on over the span of 3 hours.

A boatload of kerabu
Literally, there was a boat prop of various kerabu (salads) right at the entry to The Living Room, The Westin KL’s signature restaurant, where The Westin Bazaar was held.

Chicken, seafood, and beef kerabu could be found here, as well as some fresh seafood. Some highlights included the Kerabu Ayam Fuseli Pasta and Kerabu Smoked Salmon Buah Delima.

The first kerabu reminded me of a cold pasta salad, nothing overwhelming in flavour but a nice appetiser, and the second kerabu’s smoked salmon was fresh and tasty.
The fresh seafood was sweet and juicy too, at least from what we could tell with the sizable, bright red prawns and crabs.

Knowing that we had a lot more mains to go through, we conserved most of our stomach space and didn’t spend too long in this section.
Enter: Nostalgia
To the right of The Living Room (if you’re looking into the restaurant) was a line of stations. The first one called “Nostalgia” had traditional Malay dishes like masak lemak with young jackfruit, spinach, and pumpkin. Being a major masak lemak fan, these were my go-tos as kuah for my white rice.

Savoury and flavourful with ingredients cooked to a balanced texture, these were super delicious and I still think of them every now and then.
For those who like heavier gravies, there were meat and vegetable pots that looked to be more curry based, or at least spiced.
The next station was where you could put together your own plate of classic Chinese-style chicken rice with other roasted meat like duck. To no surprise, the meats were well-cooked and seasoned just right.

The last two stations were called “Spice of Clay”, and featured more Indian dishes like fish head curry, biryani rice with chicken, Bindi do Pyaza, and Chicken Tandoori skewers.

It was tough to pick favourites out of them all, but across the stations, my recommendations are still the masak lemak dishes (yes, call out my bias).

To the centre we go
The central area of The Living Room featured even more dishes and live cooking stations. Of course, the most eye-catching centrepiece was the Kambing Golek Berempah.

While it was seasoned and cooked well, for some reason, we don’t recall it being one of the memorable highlights of the night. For what it was though, it was still good.
The meat was adequately tender (I should eventually stop repeating this because we’ve established that The Westin KL treats meat well) and didn’t have a super gamey flavour.

What actually stole the show from it was the pasta live cooking station just next to it. Yes, of all things to steal the show at a Ramadhan buffet, it was freshly cooked pasta.
I know what you’re thinking—it’s blasphemy—but let me describe the dish we had and maybe you’ll understand.
The pasta was cooked al dente (penne for maximum sauce collection in each bite, of course), the simple tomato sauce was beautifully tart with a potent tomato flavour, the added diced mushroom and capsicum were delightful textures, and the dish was finished off with a generous sprinkle of parmesan.

This was a deceptively simple dish worth getting a second round of. So, we did. And it was just as good as the first one.
But alright, enough gushing over the pasta, for we’re barely halfway through the centre buffet area.
Moving along, we found dishes like a baked whole red snapper and the Salai Station.

The red snapper went fast, so we gave up on it the first round and forgot to go back and see if it had been replaced. (Or maybe we were just too distracted by the pasta station again ok sorry!)

Round the back was a live cooking station for noodles which we didn’t try this time, but did the first time we went to The Westin KL. From memory, the noodles were fresh and bouncy after being cooked, while the soups were seasoned to perfection and served piping hot.

Past that were some hot plates hosting char kuay teow, chilli crab, chicken drummet, braised broccoli, egg foo young, and fried salted egg pau.
The classics were executed well, but I’ll admit I had higher expectations for the chilli crab, but still, it was fresh and decently flavourful.
The fried salted egg pau was one of the last dishes I tried and they were sinfully, heart-attackingly rich and delicious, and I wish I’d tried them earlier when I had more stomach space.
But wait, there’s still dessert
During our previous tasting of The Westin KL’s high tea and buffet, we concluded that bite-sized desserts probably weren’t their strongest suite. Instead, their skills in many other culinary areas shone.
At The Westin Bazaar though, there was more variety for sweet tooths, and we found a few that we liked.

In particular, we’d recommend you finish off your hearty meal with some of the panacotta-looking desserts in cups. These were sweet and smooth.
The cakes and other pastries were alright, and we didn’t try other desserts like the DIY ais kacang, but know that you’re spoilt for options here.

If you’ve been keeping track this whole time, you’d realise that we didn’t even graze 50 of those 380 dishes (frankly, I’d like to see a review try).
This article about The Westin KL’s bountiful buffet has already grown to be quite the mouthful, so I’ll sum up our The Westin Bazaar experience by saying that no regrettable choices were made.
The only regret we left with that night was being unable to shovel every single dish into our mouths.
The Westin Bazaar buffet dinner is running from now until April 30, 2022, and prices are RM188 nett for adults, and RM94 nett per child. Marriott Bonvoy and Club Marriott members are entitled up to 35% discount for up to 20 persons per bill.

This Bukit Jalil fish restaurant has fully reeled us in—hook, line, and sinker

Just outside and to the left of Pavilion Bukit Jalil’s main entrance is a seafood spot that you’d have to try at least once.
It may not look like much from the outside, but if you assume that it’s just your average fish noodles or seafood restaurant, you’re sorely mistaken.
Nelayanku is a brand that challenges your perception of what dishes fish belong in. Appetisers, sure. Main dishes, a given. Dessert, yes. Wait… dessert? But more on that later.
Over the course of a meal one night, courtesy of the Nelayanku team, we pretty much learnt the founder’s entire entrepreneurial journey that led up to this seafood restaurant.

Raymond Tea, founder of Nelayanku
Raymond Tea has been in the aquaculture industry since 2001, and a couple of his previous (and still-standing ventures) include Aqua Ceria Group, a group of companies in the aquaculture industry, and DTS Home Mart, an online seafood market.
In essence, his goal is to build a self-sufficient supply chain to benefit all stakeholders, from fish farmers to end consumers, and Nelayanku is the latest block in the chain. Our sister brand, Vulcan Post, detailed his story here.
The star delicacy at Nelayanku is surprisingly a humble fish bone broth. Simmered for 8 hours and with no MSG added, the team stated that the broth is natural and healthy to consume.
This classic base serves as the foundation for a lot of other Nelayanku dishes, such as the RM32.90 Golden Soup (pumpkin mixed with the classic soup base), curry (RM28.90), and asam pedas (RM28.90) sets.
These sets come with your choice of carbs (different noodles or white rice), a free drink, and when we requested for a broth refill, they obliged.
Golden Soup with noodles, and curry broth with rice
The Golden Soup had a rich creaminess purely from the pumpkin, with a hint of sweetness and of course the savoury notes of the fish bone broth. Sarah enjoyed this dish so much she was able to finish off the majority of it after the rest of us had tried a bit.
If the classic broth sounds too simple for you and you can’t handle curry or asam pedas, the Gold Soup is a perfect choice, milder while still being interesting.
The curry soup wasn’t too heavy, and was not very spicy at all. But if given a choice, I’d pick the asam pedas over it. The asam pedas was tart, sweet, and pretty spicy all around.
Even knowing Raymond’s passion for aquaculture and quality fish, the tenderness of the fish meat was still a surprise to us. “Juicy” isn’t normally a word used to describe fish meat, but it somehow fits here.
Fun fact: The Giant Tiger Grouper used in some Nelayanku dishes was the 2018 champion in an annual local competition called Fish King – Giant Tiger Grouper Tasting Competition (translated from Mandarin). Judges will take a fish’s external measurements, and head to the kitchen in order to do a nutritional breakdown test of its meat. The fish is then boiled with no other additives for the judges to try in a blind taste test. If it satisfies in all categories, there’s a high chance to win.
The types of fresh fish available for dishes include Barramundi, Silver Pompano, Golden Snapper, and of course, the award-winning Giant Tiger Grouper.
Other than the mains, we were also treated to a variety of appetisers, such as fish skewers (RM9.90 for two sticks), Myfisherman Wing (RM18.90), Fish Otak-Otak (RM13.90 for 18 pieces), and Golden Right Leg (RM8.90).
A sampler plate of the fish skewers
The fish skewers were seasoned well and grilled just the right amount, leading to, again, “juicy” and flavourful flesh. Three flavours are available: lemongrass, turmeric, and hot and spicy (heed the warning). The Fish Skewer Set lets you sample all three flavours for RM26.90).
The lemongrass fish skewer is another favourite of Sarah’s at the restaurant too. In fact she has declared it her current “default go-to satay”, beating all other forms of satay (chicken, lamb, beef, etc.).
On another visit, Sarah also tried the Nelayanku Triple Platter (RM21.90), which includes fish skewers, Pandan Fish, and Fish Prawn Crispy Roll. The pandan fish was extremely fragrant, succulent, and well-cooked, while the Fish Prawn Crispy Roll was “crispy and good”, as Sarah described to me in great detail.
Myfisherman Wing were chunks of fish cut up in chicken wing sizes and lightly coated in a flavourful, crispy batter that gave way to the tender flesh of pectoral fins. Note that it’s not a fillet, so beware of bones. We’re not sure how, but Nelayanku was able to make the fried skin so reminiscent of fried chicken.
You could easily mistake Myfisherman Wing (bottom left) for fried chicken wings at first glance
The Fish Otak-Otak comes in cubes instead of spread in leaves, and differs in look and flavour from the commonly heavily-dyed and sweet ones. These had more of a genuine fish flavour and balanced seasoning, plus a delightful crisp on the outside.
Last but not least, Golden Right Leg is a snack that’d fit right on a bar menu, and what’s unique about it is that utilises the shells and legs of prawns that would typically be discarded. Here, they’re lightly battered and deep-fried to provide a taste and texture reminiscent of crunchy (and slightly pointy) keropok.
Golden Right Leg (left) and Fish Otak-Otak
After we’d stuffed ourselves on fish meat, dessert was brought in. They were jars of flavoured collagen extracted from boiled fish scales, priced at RM9.90 each.
Raymond was very passionate when telling us how committed the team is to ensuring that as little of the fish as possible gets wasted, and that includes even turning what’s normally “trash” (like fish scales) into treasure (the collagen jellies).
The collagen jellies are a labour of love that took five years and a whole lot of trial and error to perfect (and even now, the team is still working to improve them).
We totally understand if at this point you’re making a face, thinking about a fishy essence in your dessert. But trust us when we say that there was no fishy taste at all.
Instead, the collagen was nice and cold with a melt-in-your-mouth texture. They came in flavours such as soursop, passionfruit, chrysanthemum, red dates, and steam egg.
These have to be kept chilled until consumption, as they melt at room temperature
Soursop and passionfruit were deliciously refreshing and to chase down our savoury meal, while the chrysanthemum and red dates were classic and healthy-tasting. Steam egg reminded us of either a less sweet custard or a sweet version of chawanmushi. We all ended up with different favourites so there’s a flavour for each personal preference.
Safe to say, by the end of the night, we were satisfied diners. Maybe it was something about the homely food, Raymond’s genuine passion for quality aquaculture, or the good company, maybe even a combination of all three… but that night changed the way I viewed seafood.
At the back of the restaurant is a DTS Home Mart so you can buy fresh, frozen seafood too
I even went back on another date with my family, who love fresh fish, so I knew this would be right up their alley. Sarah herself is still an avid fan and has gone through great lengths to get her Nelayanku orders delivered to her (but that’s a story for another day).
All this to say, Nelayanku had successfully reeled us in, hook, line, and sinker.

This California-Inspired Japanese Restaurant In KL Serves Fresh, Authentic Seafood

Japanese cuisine is at its best when it comes to the usage of only the freshest ingredients to make your dining experience phenomenal. In KL alone, there are plenty of Japanese restaurants but the challenge lies in finding one that serves meals with fresh ingredients packed full with flavour.
Enter Eatomo Food Co, a California-inspired casual market style restaurant that is bound to leave you satisfied. Eatomo serves fresh imported seafood and meat dishes. In fact, most of their seafood is flown in from Tsukiji Market in Japan. Order anything from poke bowls, and sashimi to even ceviches.

When it comes to the interior of Eatomo, it is a casual hub where you can enjoy your meals with natural sunlight streaming in. Even the Japanese decor makes you feel like you’re in a Japanese restaurant—in Japan.

When it comes to Japanese cuisine, they are no stranger to good seafood. The salmon at Eatomo is imported all the way from Norway too! Who wouldn’t want juicy salmon slices on their plate? Did you know that their bestseller is not meat, but it is in fact the salmon belly which is thick and juicy. It totally melts in the mouth too.
Image Credit: Eatomo Food Co & Ulric5
Hamachi belly and fresh Sanma from Japan will be another choice if salmon isn’t your cup of tea.
Image Credit: Eatomo Food Co & Ulric5
They have plenty of oysters but each batch is imported from different countries and regions such as the US Pacific, Hiroshima and plenty of other places. These oysters can be eaten raw or lightly grilled with some butter, depending on how you wish to have it.
Image Credit: Eatomo Food Co
If you want a taste of everything, get your hands on the Uni & Co Treasure Bowl where you will be able to try sea urchin, salmon, tuna, prawn and so much more! This is one bowl where you can really taste the whole ocean. If you prefer something a little more Western, the California poke bowl is fresh, colourful and a healthier choice too.
Image Credit: Eatomo Food Co & Ulric5
The Unagi dish is grilled to perfection and it has a crispy layer of skin drenched with savoury sauce to give it an extra kick of flavour.

If you are not fond of raw meals, Tori Naban Don consists of fried chicken with delicious homemade mayonnaise that gels well with the chicken and rice. For something unique, the spicy beef tongue don is a unique dish you probably won’t find in many Japanese restaurants.

Image Credit: Eatomo Food Co
Another unique dish is the one-of-a-kind sea urchin and kegani crab. Both these dishes might be an acquired taste and it is certainly a filling dish. You can opt to order a platter to share if you have a smaller appetite.
Image Credit: Eatomo Food Co & Kangsc
Of course, a meal would not be complete without desserts. Eatomo’s raindrop cake is complemented with roasted soybean powder and syrup. Not to mention, the LA Style Yogurt alcohol is the perfect drink to cap your meal off with. Bottoms up!

Take A Step Back In Time To The Colonial Era At This Rustic Hostel In Chinatown

It is common to see some parts of Kuala Lumpur still retaining an olden day feel reminiscent of the yesteryears. This is particularly true in places like Petaling Street and Chinatown. Located along Jalan Sultan is the rustic hostel known as Mingle KL.

Regardless of whether you are a traveler from abroad or a Malaysian seeking a spot for a staycation, this place would interest you nonetheless. It is mentioned on their Facebook page how the inspiration for this hostel stemmed from a desire for a place where flash-packers, entrepreneurs and business travelers can mingle. In fact, it was actually transformed from a colonial-era shop-house!

This hostel is only a 3 minute walk from the Pasar Seni LRT Station and a 5 minute walk from the shopping district of Bukit Bintang.

This Is The First Automated Eatery In M'sia—Say Goodbye To Waiting For Your Meal

You won’t find any waiters at Great The Healthier Fast Food.
They are afterall the first automated restaurant in Malaysia and operate by a high-tech mobile ordering system instead.

That way, you’ll have the convenience of ordering your meals from the comfort of your own home. You can then retrieve your order upon arrival at the mall. Meanwhile, your meal will be kept warm within the vault until pickup time.

Plant-based fast food meals are the current options on the menu, including Vegan Chickpea Burgers, Japanese Sesame Bowls, Tomato Spaghettis and Passion Mushroom Salads.
All of the dishes are pork-free, lard-free and MSG-free—even when they are fast food meals through and through, they are a healthier option for you.

To order, one must first place a request via the WeChat app. Once at the restaurant, look for the vault labeled with a username which is unique to every guest, key in your given passcode and retrieve your meal.
You can then opt to dine in the restaurant or take the dish away and enjoy it in the comfort of your own home.

Considering how speed in delivery is a quality that most would value in terms of their meal preparation, this is a pretty cool concept to see in Malaysia.
Following in the footsteps of San Francisco’s Eatsa which runs by a similar concept, time will only tell if this concept will remain feasible in the long run.
That being said, gauging from public interest on Great The Healthier Fast Food’s Facebook page, it’s safe to say that Malaysians are game to try this futuristic dining concept out.

This Gerai Is Crazy Enough To Believe That Sambal Belachan Burgers Would Work :O

It’s messy.
It’s glorious.
Nope, we’re not talking about Ramly burger or MyBurgerLab—two classic burger joints in KL.
The gerai in mention is Mike’s Burger Grill Celup.

While traditional burgers are classic and will never go out of style, Mike’s Burger Grill Celup steps out of its comfort zone with unique flavour combinations.
The most popular burger’s of course the Kangkung Sambal Belachan Burger. It might sound like an odd combination but the team makes it work by combining 2 chicken patties with kangkung sambal belachan and sandwiching it between 2 burger buns.

Past customers have mentioned that this burger’s a hot one and even gave their personal heat rating of 6.5/10. If you’re not much of a fan of spice, perhaps steer clear of this one. But if the intoxicating smell wafting through the air’s got you hooked, have a bottle of water ready at hand.
The burger is designed to be incredibly sloppy and it’s highly likely that you’d find sauce stains on your clothing and mouth. But as past guests have remarked, “If it ain’t sloppy, it ain’t tasty”.

Besides the iconic Kangkung Sambal Belachan burger, opt to give their other classics a go.
There’s the Cream Cheese Gourmet Burger and the Smoked Apple Butter BBQ Gourmet Burger.
Traditionalists, on the other hand, would favour the Spicy Kungpao Gourmet Burger and the Black Pepper Gourmet Burger.
Mike’s Burger Grill Celup
Hours: Mondays-Saturdays: 6pm-12am. Closed on Sundays.

These 4 Talents Defied The Odds And Roared At This KL Event

As we speak, 4 Malaysian artists are hard at work pursuing their passions.But these aren’t your regular passion projects, and for that, they’ve received their fair share of backlash and doubters. Despite the naysayers and the disapproving comments thrown at them, they chose to persist, and thus have uncaged their potentials. Here are their 4 outstanding stories that can now serve to inspire us in turn.
 1. “You? Cook?”
Image Credit: Tiger
If there are 2 things that Kent Lee is passionate about in life, it’s slapping the bass and siew yuk.
Being the lead vocalist, bassist and principal songwriter of Fast Food Generation, a local band, Kent’s initial passion lies in music.
After all, he is also part of another band which focuses on handpan + bass: FrhythmS Percussion Group.
Alongside this, Kent runs his own live house (Live Fact) which supports independent music.
Despite doubters telling him that he can’t cook, Kent has recently picked up some culinary skills and put them to good use at his regular siew yuk pop-up stall. Kent shared, “In general, the joy of sharing good music and good food are similar. They are things that require no language but are able to touch and resonate with people from all walks of life, therefore able to unite people.”
2. “Your art won’t sell”
Image Credit: Tiger
If you observe the intricate leopard prints on the plywood, you would notice that these are actual “burn marks”.
Sonia Luhong, a Kuching artist, is known for her art pyrography where she uses fire to create works of art.
To date, she is one of the few female Malaysian artists who is bold enough to pursue an artform which is barely present in Malaysia.
By choosing to uncage her potential, she has exhibited in New York and Canada, just to name a few countries.
And Sonia’s pieces are more than just to beautify a space, they are practical too. Producing phone cases with art made by pyrography, you can have a piece of Sonia’s talent with you wherever you go.
3. “Chinese rap won’t fly here”
Image Credit: Tiger
Teh Jian Wei, better known as his stage name, Dato’ Maw, is a multi-faceted rapper who is also into hosting, video editing and photography.
His main passion though, lies in spitting rhymes.
Having had an upbringing where many dialects and languages are spoken at home, Dato’ Maw raps in Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien, English and Bahasa Malaysia.
Having struggled with naysayers attacking him on how Mando-rap is crass, Dato’ Maw chose to let those words fall upon deaf ears.
He also diversified and leveraged on the fact that Chinese dialects are diverse in Malaysia.
It doesn’t have to be Mandarin and Cantonese alone—it can be Hokkien too.
And that’s how the 26-year-old sets himself apart from other local rappers.
4. “You have no fashion background”

Psychology major, Yong Sheng, has always been interested in clothing, even from a young age.
He began by asking his parents if he could dress himself up with self-chosen outfits.
But it wasn’t until his university days when Yong Sheng really found an interest in streetwear design.
He found that there was a lack in streetwear designs in the Malaysian fashion industry, especially ones that he could see himself wearing.
Hence, with zero background in fashion and only guidance from peers in the industry, Yong Sheng took a leap of faith and founded his own fashion brand, DY/DX, in 2017.
The brand debuted with 2 items of clothing.
Uncaging Their Potentials
It takes a sense of boldness to pursue something that nobody else is doing and to become your own personal role model.
Certainly, it would be far easier to not follow the path less traveled and to go with the flow.
However, as Kent puts it, “I believe that happiness and personal accomplishment does not have a standard measure for all and the ability to bring joy to people is the most rewarding experience to me.”

We Got A Sneak Peek Of The Genting Dream Cruise—Including Its RM25k Luxury Cabin

Even from a distance, the Genting Dream Cruise, docked at the Boustead Cruise Centre in Port Klang, looked pretty impressive and we would soon find out that its not just because of its size.

DiscoverKL recently had the chance to go on a special ship tour of the 18-deck vessel by Genting Cruise Lines as it marked its inaugural arrival in Port Klang on 4 December.
Genting Dream first debuted in November 2016 and since then, has whisked guests away on 2-night weekend cruises and alternating 5-night Sunday cruises from Singapore to destinations in the Straits of Malacca and in the Java Seas.

When we first entered the Genting Dream vessel, we visited the Zodiac Theatre on Deck 7 and were treated to a slew of performances by the talented crew members on board the cruise. We even got a preview of the Voyage of a Lover’s Dream production which tells the love story between a mermaid and an astronaut (the theme for the Genting Dream cruise itself).

Hands down the performance that wowed the entire crowd was the ballet-meets-acrobatic act which saw a ballerina balancing gracefully…whilst en pointe on her partner’s head!
After the performances, we aptly began our tour on the highest deck of the cruise ship, taking the lift all the way up to where the party’s at.
We arrived on Deck 19 and walked through the Palm Court, a bar with a view.

And the view is none other than the outdoor observatory, where guests can enjoy a bird’s eye view of the pool and sun deck beneath.

If it’s this lit during the day, we could only imagine what the pool area’s like when the sun goes down.

Even with the scorching midday sun, we saw a couple of guests taking a dip by the pool (we wished we had time to do that too!).
There’s also a shaded area where guests can chill with a book in one hand and a drink (from the nearby bar) in the other.

On the same deck, we paid the gymnasium and studio a visit.
At the gym you’d find yourself running on a treadmill, with your eyes set on the open expanse of the blue ocean below. I mean, how often does that even happen? :O

The next part of our tour brought us to an elegant spiral staircase.

One floor beneath, we were greeted by a cosy lounge area, furnished with wine red executive armchairs. The area is a part of the Genting Club, which exclusively caters to the the suites’ guests.

An oriental-like walkway complete with gold décor later led us to the room that everyone was excited to visit, particularly as it’s the most expensive statehouse on the cruise.

In fact, 5 nights spent at the Garden Penthouse statehouse would total up to RM25k++.

What RM5k++ a night would get you is an outdoor patio with a private jacuzzi and a lounge area.

You would also find a bathroom complete with marble flooring and a matching sink.

And that’s just the guest bathroom.

The master bathroom is a whole other ballgame. It’s a lot more spacious and can comfortably fit 2 people at any given time.
We also like how the bathroom comes equipped with double sinks so 2 or more people can get ready together in the morning.

The Penthouse is designed in such a way that it’s almost like having your own personal mini suite, and as the folks behind Genting Dream puts it, “it’s like a ship within a ship”.

The duplex suite comes complete with partitions, a mini bar and a living room area with a grand piano.

Just a quick walk down the same deck, you’d find the Palace Suite.

A little more private, this stateroom has its own charm. Where the Garden Penthouse can accommodate 6 persons, the Palace Suite is ideal for couples instead.

5 nights at the Palace Suite totals up to RM4.6k++.
Some of the perks include a private balcony and a personalised minibar.

On Deck 15, you’d find the bridge viewing room, where guests can get a sneak peek (behind a glass window) of the cruise control room as well as the captains’ portfolios.
At this deck, you’ll also find a replica of the Genting Dream itself.

Fans of miniature replicas would be impressed by the detailed model of the Genting Dream.

Yup, you’re looking at a miniature version of the 6 water slides on the ship, as well as the rope and rock climbing wall.
We ended our tour several decks below where the F&B section’s at.

There are over 35 different F&B outlets throughout the ship so one thing you’ll know for sure while you’re on board this cruise, is that you’ll never go hungry.

If one of your 2018 goals is to enjoy a premium cruise experience, you can opt to embark on a journey with Genting Dream as it sets sail on its Singapore deployment, with 2 separate cruise itineraries.
A 5-night Island Escapade cruise which marks a journey through Singapore, Port Klang, Penang and Phuket will commence from 14 January-28 March.
Meanwhile, the Treasure of Indonesia cruise, with a destination route through Singapore, Surabaya and North Bali will take place between 7 January-4 February.
