Here's A Sneak Peek Of M'sia’s First Virtual & Augmented Reality Theme Park!

Gamers, rejoice. The first ever hybrid Virtual Reality (VR)/Augmented Reality (AR) theme park is now in Malaysia!

The Rift Mid Valley is a gamer’s dream come true, being a theme park with 15 different reality-altering, physically-challenging experiences, from virtual free-roaming shooting, to physical vertigo-inducing wall climbs and free-falls.

With the tagline “Enter The Rift, Exit Reality“, the theme park hopes to provide a family-friendly experience for adults and young’uns alike.

We recently paid 5 of The Rift’s main attractions a visit:
1. Zero Latency

Choose to Immerse yourself in Zero Latency’s virtual free-roaming worlds, where you will race to solve problems, fight off aliens, or struggle against zombies for survival together with your team. Survive a zombie apocalypse in Outbreak or Zombie Survival, solve puzzles in Engineerium, or organise a rescue mission to extract survivors from a spaceship in Singularity.

2. Motion Blaster
At Motion Blaster, you will jump into the virtual world and must prepare to destroy predators at all cost! It’s a 4D ride where you’d experience environments such as a windy setting, all whilst trying your hardest to shoot at the predators.
3. RaceRoom

Think you’re a pro driver? Challenge yourself here with the state-of-art racing game complete with surreal sounds and effects! The game is said to have the most realistic race car driving experience yet.
4. Hurricane VR

Not for the faint hearts, this ride takes you on an exhilarating flying journey through a virtual universe. You will be strapped into the ride which does a 360 degree turn. Think of it as somewhat like a Pirate Ship theme park ride, except that it turns upside down and you’d get a virtual reality experience as well.
5. HADO Malaysia

A combination of Augmented Reality (AR) technology, motion sensor, head-mounted device and smartphone which puts you right in the middle of a video game – prepare to battle your opponents and rise up as champions! Gather a team of three and go toe-to-toe against another team, throwing fireballs and conjuring shields as you compete in HADO’s Augmented Reality match.

Those who are curious as to what this VR theme park entails, can pay The Rift a visit as it is now officially open to the public. Go ahead and discover what its like to blur the lines between fiction and reality as you escape on an out-of-this-world experience, whether that means fighting off zombies or going on a 360 degree ride that’ll turn you upside down.

The Rift is currently offering an opening promotional pricing of RM98 for The Rift package, which includes 10 attractions and Zero Latency. Visitors may also choose the Exit Reality package at RM55, which is inclusive of 10 attractions, while the Zero Latency experience is priced at RM52 as a stand-alone attraction.

These Bowls Of Food Are ONLY RM1.90 Each—So Your Wallet Won't Have To Cry :P

When it comes to cheap food, one restaurant has truly outdone itself.
You practically only need RM1.90 to dine at Eat & Repeat Café as every dish on the menu is priced at only RM1.90.
Whether it’s Nasi Lemak, Mee Kari, Mee Rebus, Ayam Tandoori or Laksa Utara, everything has been portioned out into bowls and they cost only RM1.90 each.
We can see these dishes being perfect for students and those who are trying to save up on their moolah.

Go ahead and order up several dishes so you’ll have the chance to try out many different flavours at one go.
One guest has even ordered up to 38 different bowls at one go and shared that she thinks she has ordered too much because there’s no place left on the table for the incoming bowls of food.
But we say, there’s no such thing as too much good food.
Its low price is definitely a selling factor for Eat & Repeat Café. And the best part is, you won’t have to worry about having to fork out a huge sum.

But one thing’s for sure, you had better have an appetite for food because one bowl is definitely not enough.
Eat & Repeat Café has several outlets nationwide, including Shah Alam, Bangi, Kuala Selangor, Kuala Terengganu, Senawang, Malacca and Johor Bahru.

Here's Another Vegan Ice Cream To Try In KL—We Like The Salted Gula Melaka Flavour

One of our colleagues, Iylia, recently developed a milk allergy and our Managing Director surprised her with some vegan dairy-free ice cream the other day, just because.
For someone who enjoys chocolate and dairy, not having traditional store-bought ice cream (which commonly contains dairy) might sound like a prison sentence. Needless to say, Iylia happily dug into the Kelava Vegan ice cream which are “handmade with kelapa and love”.
Kelava Vegan is made with folks like Iylia in mind. In fact, some of the main components in a tub of Kelava ice cream are coconut + soy milk, which gives the ice cream a distinct kelapa taste. Vegan options are increasing in Malaysia and it’s nice to see that Kelava has jumped on board this bandwagon too.

Azlan, founder of Kelava (which is the combination of the word kelapa and love) told us that he started this venture because “Veganism has been my newfound passion ever since I decided to embrace this lifestyle over a year ago. I feel physically and mentally better, and completely agree that we should avoid harming animals if it’s not necessary.”
Azlan’s wife, who has also adopted the vegan lifestyle, adores ice cream and he decided to pick up this passion project because he saw an opportunity to do something that won’t just fill up his wallet, but also his heart. “My wife has been really supportive. and that’s all I need,” Azlan added.
The couple spent hours perfecting the recipes, by lots of trial and error. He said, “Yes it is hard. People initially kept saying it’s not as good as ‘normal ice cream’. I started experimenting using recipes from the internet. The first few batches turned out to be blocks of ice,” he shared candidly.

Arguably, it’s not easy making ice cream that is plant based, so they kept trying different types of milk/cream and sweeteners as well as did plenty of research on ice cream chemistry. “Although there’s still room for improvement, I’m quite proud of the Kelava ice cream. People say that it has the right texture,” Azlan said.
At first taste, one might not even realise that these creamy desserts are vegan. They have the consistency of traditional ice cream but it has an unmistakable lighter consistency to it too.
For those who are curious as to how these vegan desserts fare, Azlan recommends the bestseller: Salted Gula Melaka. His personal favourite is the creamy Chocolate flavour, but on top of these 2 flavours, there are also Strawberry, Vanilla, Cookies & Cream and Matcha flavours to choose from.
Each tub of Kelava ice cream is priced at RM28 and there’s option for tub deliveries within Klang Valley as well.

Get Fit With Fun At Malaysia’s Annual 3-Day MURFEST Wellness Festival This Nov!

Working out solo is a deterrent for some to actually begin exercising, and to most, they would automatically conjure up the tiring and lacklustre cardio activities such as jogging at the local park or lifting weights in the gym. That is exactly why the concept of MURFEST is a refreshing one!
MURFEST is pretty much a giant party, but the underlying bonus is that it is a wellness festival. The Malaysia Urban Retreat Festival (MURFEST) began as a concept to integrate the ‘festival feel’ into a wellness event. The 3-day fest would see over 80 world class facilitators, musicians and artists who would each lend their own expertise to the event.

Whether you’re into yoga, or Bollywood dancing, this event gets your heart pumping in the midst of thousands of people. Who said fitness had to be boring after all? MURFEST aims to integrate wellness, music and dance into the lifestyle of Malaysians.
Image Credit: Murfest
It was created with one objective in mind—to burst a bubble, and to remove layers of misconception from the general public that in order to stay healthy you just have to take care of your physical body.
Expect unconventional forms of fitness such as aqua yoga and fly yoga which makes the workout experience interesting and on top of that, burns calories at the same time. Some notable instructors who would be gracing the event include Malaysian, Reiko Soo who would be teaching FlyYoga, as well as local celebrity wellness personality, Jojo Struys. Tickets are priced between RM50.23–RM470.48.
When: Friday, November 4, 2016 at 8:00 AM – Sunday, November 6, 2016 at 7:00 PM
Where: MATIC- Jalan Ampang

You Can Spend An Entire Day Working And Eating At This Café For ONLY RM10

Ziferblat-inspired spaces are on the rise and another eatery joins the market with their time-based concept café.

Homez is a pay-per-minute concept café which doubles as a co-working space and a social hub. It is a Ziferblat-inspired concept business where guests pay for the time spent at the space, rather than the food.
As the team at Homez puts it, “There is a rule of life that we call “A Time for Everything”. A time to relax and a time to be busy, a time to frolic and a time to labour, a time to receive and a time to give, a time to begin and a time to finish.”

In the same vein, Homez values time at their space and charge based on that. Their current charges breakdown is at:

RM0.10 = 1 minute
RM6 = 60 minutes
RM10 = 100 minutes

The remaining hours spent at the space is free of charge, meaning that you can spend an entire day here and only fork out a reasonable sum of RM10.

When at Homez, you’re free to bring in your own food but bear in mind to clean up once you’re done. Guests are also encouraged to clean up after their own used dishes. As for re-entering, it is subject to the amount of customers in the space at that period of time.

You can spend time working, studying or socialising with others who share the space and enjoy facilities like:

Wi-Fi
Plug points
Books
Board games
Guitar
Coffee & Tea
Breads, Snacks and Cakes

Homez’s ultimate vision is to create a cosy and quiet environment for everyone and that is why they have integrated a small home garden in the space.

Besides being a space where you can work, study and complete your assignments at, Homez is also open for space hiring for private events such as wedding anniversaries and birthday parties.
Homez Setapak Café
Hours: 10am-12am, daily
Address: No 22A-1, Lot B-12-1, Plaza Usahawan Genting Klang, Jalan Danau Niaga 1, Taman Danau Kota, 53300, Kuala Lumpur

Garden Weddings Are Dreamy And Gorgeous—Here's How To Plan One In M'sia

While beautiful barns and marquee wedding venues are rare in Malaysia, there are couples who go out of their way to look for that perfect venue to complete their dream wedding.
Traditionally, a marquee venue is set up temporarily. Unless you’re looking for a beachside or you know of a space large enough to do, the idea of looking at a venue which has a permanent marquee is much more feasible for us here in KL.
Puteh at Subang has done just that. Their permanent marquee venue is perfect for your big day! I know, picking a venue is a BIG deal as it sets the tone and atmosphere for the entire ceremony. If you are one of those who has been dreaming of having a marquee garden wedding, here are some tips to consider when planning one. Let’s get this fiesta started!

Numero Uno: If you’re a stress-er, go for the all-inclusive rest-er
Unlike hotels and other full-service venues, marquee venues are usually bare and you will need to source for everything. If the idea of sourcing for a venue, tables and chairs, caterer, sound and light equipment, decoration options (and everything else needed) stresses you out, stop reading this article right now and opt for an all-inclusive venue instead. Take it from someone (me) who could not handle the stress.
Numero Dos: What’s your flava?

Consider if the venue can accommodate your preferred style. If you are looking to have your ROM, cocktails and reception all in one venue, can the venue accommodate all three functions? Puteh at Subang comes with a beautiful garden area perfect for a ROM ceremony and a marquee big enough to be separated into a cocktail area and a reception venue.
What style are you opting for? Something rustic and raw? If that is the case, there will be lots to think about. Are you going to drape the venue or leave it transparent? Lucky for you, Puteh at Subang is already draped and if you prefer to keep it open, you can do that too!

Number Tres: Decorate-o-rama

Here’s where you can go crazy with decoration options. Opt to leave the space raw or add some colour that has plenty of pizzazz. Either way, the choice is yours.
Numero Cuatro: Food, food, food

Most stand-alone marquee venues do not come with a full-fledged kitchen thereby you will need to check with your preferred caterers. Check with your venue, see if they have a preferred list of caterers you are required to work with.
Puteh at Subang has various wedding packages ready for you too and they have a kitchen which is suitable for onsite cooking. Take any of their packages and they will throw in the tables and chairs too!
Numero Cinco: Tables and chairs
Most stand-alone venues do not include tables and chairs with the rental price. Therefore you will need to think about getting your own. There are so many options these days. From Chiavari chairs to normal banquet chairs, the list is almost endless (kidding!). But you get the point.

Now, let’s talk tables. Do you prefer round-table setting or Viking style seating arrangements? Since Puteh at Subang is a blank canvas – you can truly personalise the space to make it your own.
Numero Seis: Light it up

Lighting is key! It sets the ambience whether its fairy lights, hanging lanterns, or chandeliers, lighting will create a magical atmosphere with great effects. With so much space to play around with, decide on how ‘lit‘ you want the garden to look too!

About Puteh at Subang
All in all, if you are considering a marquee wedding venue, Puteh at Subang is a great venue for your wedding! It is situated amidst greenery with glorious views. Weddings at Puteh at Subang are incredibly magical, special, unique, and personal to you.
It can accommodate 600 pax seated in the marquee and up to 1000 pax if guests are seated in the marquee and garden area.
Want to request for a FREE quotation? Puteh at Subang is one of our partners and we’d be happy to take that off your hands at NO EXTRA or HIDDEN cost to you. Let us do the dirty work for you – request for a FREE quotation and date availability or take a virtual tour of Puteh here.
That should have you covered. And as I always stress, before confirming a venue, please ensure you have made a visit and seen the venue for yourself. Better yet, speak to us and let us take care of everything needed as there are many variables that may be overlooked while planning your wedding. As a bride (or groom) to be, all you need to do is give me the green (or red) light and we’re ready to go! Gracias, señorita y señor! Time for some siesta.

Also, give yourself a hand as now you know your one to six in Spanish! De nada.

After no physical company meetings in over a year, we met in an exclusive hotel suite

It’s been over a full year since our whole team was gathered together physically. Pandemic aside, our neglected (and dusty) office space has become increasingly unconducive as a place to meet, let alone work in.
So when we had the opportunity to arrange a workcation in the Caroline Astor Suite of The St. Regis Kuala Lumpur, we also wanted to make full use of the brightly lit, comfy, and premium space.
Disclaimer: The accommodation was not sponsored by the hotel as we wanted this to be our small way of supporting the local hotel industry, but the suite upgrade was kindly offered to us without an add-on cost. We were fully masked at all times while working together and all of our team has been double vaccinated and had passed 14 days after the 2nd dose.
It’s high time for a workcation
We took the duduk diam-diam at home order really seriously, and for most of us who don’t have floor to ceiling windows, even enjoying the views and sunlight in the suite was a luxury.
But if sunlight’s not your thing, there are motorised blinds or curtains at every window.
The suite itself comes with a spacious living room (furnished with a study desk, plush sofas, a dining table, and a signature St. Regis Mini Bar Trunk), a walk-in wardrobe, and an en-suite Massage Room where you can order an in-room spa experience.
A view of the TV and living room, where had our town hall meeting Our video editor already got to work as soon as we got into the roomMore wardrobe space than the clothes that we broughtThe view from the bathtub, the perfect place to get a good comforting soak after workThe master bathroom and a double vanity sink exudes opulenceThe king-sized bed that gave us the most peaceful night’s sleep we’ve had in a whileToo bad we underutilised the attached spa room this time round
You probably wouldn’t expect this but the bed was one of the highlights of this workcation because we slept so soundly, it’s one of our best sleeps in a long while. We were even curious enough to investigate the mattress’ brand and model.
Turns out though the mattresses were specially custom made for the St Regis brand and therefore can’t be purchased from any store. Yes, we hear your sighs of disappointment too.
While preparing for our company meeting, we ran into a quick snag as we were unable to get the TV in the living room to project our laptop screen.

That was easily solved, thanks to the services of our butler who was at our beck and call, whether it was technical issues, personal deliveries (except for food, which you’d have to go down to retrieve it personally), in-room service, or requesting a different pillow from the pillow menu.
Turns out it was a faulty connection, so we needed to plug our cable into a different port
With the visuals of our meeting set, we were able to proceed with our discussions with no further roadbumps.
Space-wise, the living room itself was large enough to comfortably accommodate all nine of us working with a suitable social distance. One of us even set up in the walk-in wardrobe as a private space for some work calls.
Post-meeting faces after finally seeing everyone together for the first time in over a year
Being productive, restful, and well-fed
Our time in the suite didn’t end with the town hall meeting, two of us extended the stay to complete some urgent managerial tasks together.
For a few days, the struggle of wondering what food to cook or order via GrabFood did not cross our minds, because we were spoilt for choice at St Regis.
In fact the struggle turned into making sure we could finish eating all the food.
Breakfast options at The BrasserieThe most difficult part was trying to finish all the foodOrdered the seafood bouillabaisse and some sides, which were served with complimentary buns and bottled water
For our daily breakfast, the usual hotel buffet option was slightly changed to a more COVID-safe method. So just place your order directly with the friendly servers and they will bring the food to your table.
On the last day before checking out, in-room dining was ordered so that work could be prioritised for those final hours. No regrets there because the dining setup for lunch was cosy and private.
No working out was done for this workcation, but others may appreciate the facilities more Masks were on at all times when we were working together
There were a lot more facilities available at St Regis but we chose to spend our time mostly in our suite since we had some time-sensitive matters to attend to.
As an extra-special reward, we did treat ourselves to high tea at The Drawing Room. It was also for a good cause since Marriott Bonvoy was raising funds for their Breast Cancer Awareness campaign with Estée Lauder Malaysia.
St Regis was one of the three participating hotels in this meaningful campaign, with 20% of proceeds from every Afternoon Tea Set purchase going to The National Cancer Society Malaysia.
This particular high tea set came with a few extras, in conjunction with Breast Cancer Awareness month.
The set also came with some Estée Lauder products, which was a nice touch from St Regis’ partner for this collaboration.
Before the crowd came in during tea time, we also used the quiet environment of The Drawing Room for a video interview. The WiFi connection there was pleasantly stable, there were no hitches throughout our call.
The hotel is also keeping to strict COVID health and safety SOPs, so we were requested to vacate the room while housekeeping was servicing our suite, which made The Drawing Room the best alternative place to work.
A night-time soak after working hard all day (Baking Impossible fans here!)
We had a really fruitful company meeting, which was the main purpose of the workcation. Having this memorable meeting venue was a cherry on top of this significant milestone in our work calendar.
It’s definitely not an everyday luxury for most people, but we personally relished the opportunity to gather and work safely somewhere new for a change. And of course it didn’t hurt that the “somewhere new” is a 5-star hotel.

Here's How You Can Plan For 11 Long Weekends In 2019!

Each new year paves the way for more annual leaves to be wisely used up. Considering how most are granted with a rough estimate of 14 days per year, it makes complete sense to apply for them strategically.
Using the scheduled 2019 public holidays as a guide, here’s a rough plan that you can opt for in order to obtain 11 long weekends this year.

Here’s a complete breakdown:
For Thaipusam in January, you won’t even need to use up your leave days as you’ll already be granted 3 days of break by virtue of Thaipusam falling on a Friday.
Those working in KL can enjoy the Federal Territory holiday. But for an even better deal, why not apply for leave the day before so you can enjoy a luxurious 4-day weekend?
The CNY break in February already grants you 2 days off. But for those who are looking to spend even more time with their family, they can apply for leave on February 4th for 4 days off.
May is the month of extra long weekends if you’re wise enough to plan ahead. Taking May 2nd, 3rd, 23rd and 24th off will give you 3 long weekends in total!
The Hari Raya break this year falls on June 5th and 6th, but taking the 7th off will grant you 5 long days of break in total.
In the month of August, Hari Raya Haji falls on the 11th and 12th. Hence, those taking off on the 9th will get 4 days off.
September will have you enjoying 2 long weekends without the need to apply for any leave days at all.
Finally, in December, applying for leave on the 26th and 27th will grant you a long Christmas break to spend time with the family and to reflect on the new year.

Whether you’re planning for a long Christmas break or extra time off during Raya to spend time with your extended family, this guide can help you plan for your annual leave days in advance, and make the most of them.

Spill The Dish: What Makes Wing Wing's Liquorice Chicken Wings So Addictive?

Wing Wing.
Who’s there?
Liquorice fried chickens, that’s who.

Admittedly, prior to Wing Wing’s entrance into the Malaysian market, I’ve never heard of liquorice chicken wings before.
The London-based fast food joint is known mostly for their chicken wings and the unique offering of liquorice-flavoured ones in particular.

With white sugar, honey, maple syrup or stevia being the traditional forms of sweeteners in the local market, it’s definitely a less common form of sweetener used in Malaysian styles of cooking…unless you’re whipping up a mean batch of gingerbread cookies that is.
What makes the dish though, is ultimately the fried chicken.

It’s worth mentioning that there will be a short 15-minute wait for these wings but that’s only because their made fresh-to-order.
The key to ensuring that Wing Wing’s fried chickens are crispy and flavourful each and every time lies in the freshness of the produce that they use.
One of the most important elements is using extremely fresh chicken wings and drummettes which are never frozen.
Wing Wing’s chickens are all farm-fresh ones obtained from local suppliers and the chicken wings and drummettes used need to be at least 110 grams in weight.
The chickens are then marinated for hours in order to absorb the lovely flavours of the sauce. Fresh meat coats better with the team’s special hand-brushing technique and there are 3 sauce options to choose from.

There’s the classics like soy garlic and spicy, or you can opt for the sweet-savoury combination that’s fried chicken and a sweet liquorice glaze.
To ensure that the fried chickens are not greasy, a correct oil temperature is maintained because if the cooking temperature drops too low, the crust will form gradually, allowing the food to absorb more fat and become oily. It is cooked thoroughly in order to achieve the signature golden brown crispiness.
According to the team, the R&D process includes multiple taste tests with thousands of “chicken-obsessed followers” and with the feedback received, they will continue to tweak and improve their blend until the final product is perfect.

“Wing Wing has a dedicated team of Master Chefs that will never stop testing and adapting the fry time, ingredients and quality,” the team noted.
As for the liquorice sauce itself, the team noted that it’s indeed a lesser known flavour to Malaysians but it’s actually been used for thousands of years in food and medicine as it’s an ancient Mediterranean herb believed to have anti-inflammatory properties.
This flavour is highly celebrated in Northern Europe, where Wing Wing’s origin (United Kingdom) is.
The liquorice boasts a distinct, naturally-sweet flavour, which when melded with the savoury meat, creates a harmonious clash for the tastebuds and it’s ideal for those who enjoy sweet-savoury combinations.

Best part is, the sauce used isn’t a store-bought liquorice sauce. It’s actually invented by Wing Wing’s team of chefs.
“Most Malaysians are relatively new to the liquorice flavour and it’s picking up fast! The unique flavour profile piques interest and makes up about 30% of all our orders,” the team shared.
If you’re curious as to what else is offered by this wings eatery, definite must-tries include the Chicken Katsu Bao that pairs the Chinese favourite (mantao bun) with crispy tender chickens and a generous dollop of kimchi coleslaw.
Other than that, there’s the Hot Bao Nuts which would make for an ideal dessert. It’s essentially sweet mantao buns in flavours like Pineapple Orange or Banana Caramel.
You will find Wing Wing restaurant located on the 6th floor of Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. More details below:

6 Places In M'sia Where You Can Get Yourself Some Magical Disney-Inspired Desserts

What’s there not to love about desserts? They’re an absolute treat to have and most of the times, we’d go for those which are good lookin’ too, amirite? After all, we savour meals with our eyes before we even taste them.
We’ve rounded up a list of places where you can buy some attractive Disney-inspired desserts, including cupcakes, macarons, jellies, donuts and cakes. These creations are unique, drool-worthy and definitely worthy of a picture on your Instagram feed.

Image Credit: Tiny Temptress Artisan Patisserie
When Tiny Temptress shared pictures of their Disney macarons back in July, it received a lot of attention simply because the set of 6 Disney macarons were dainty, delicate creations by the masterminds behind this patisserie. They are known for their desserts which are bright and fun, and the Disney macarons are no different. The only downside to the macarons would probably be the fact that they are not a permanent item on the menu, considering how Tiny Temptress switches things up with their offerings every few months or so.

Jelly cakes are a way to enjoy desserts without too much of the guilt. Jelly cakes are also ideal for those with a gluten intolerance as it is not made with flour.

Croquembouches are by no means an easy dessert to attempt. They are essentially dessert towers which consists of choux pastry balls and bound together by caramel sauce.

We Sent Our Toughest Critics Back To The Same Restaurant—This Time With Different Dishes

Some places, you go to for the food. After our previous review of Signature by the Hill’s new menu, I figured I’ll only return for the ambience, which by the way, is fantastic.
Should have mentioned that in the last write-up.
Watch the last glow of the sun’s rays kiss the city skyline as you sip your pre-dinner drinks.
This round, Sarah and I—DiscoverKL’s fussiest critics return to Signature—this time to try their classic dishes.
The drink pictured above is the titillatingly named Coco’s Nuts (RM28), which is normally served in a coconut. We didn’t mind the glasses though—the play of colours made for a good picture against the blueness of the city outside.
Coco’s Nuts is, as the menu told us, a mix of Malibu, Rum, Banana Liqueur and Coconut Cream. The coconut overpowered everything else, and I personally would prefer more of an alcohol-kick when I have a drink.

We were hungry and very ready for the first starter, Duck Wraps (RM30).

Accompanied by spring onions, cucumber and also a selection of three sauces, I’m sure most of you would recognise this as a derivative of Peking duck.
Unfortunately, if you’ve had Peking duck, then this dish would probably fall short.
The food isn’t bad. Far from it. But when it comes to flavour, there’s nothing special about it.
Why wouldn’t I just run over to a hawker store to get their duck rice at half the price, or up it a little and get the Peking duck experience?
It was at this point that Sarah brought up, “It seems more like you’re paying for the environment and the presentation, because the food is ordinary.”
Not a great start.
Knowing that Signature shines when it comes to seafood, we were hoping the next starter, Chilli Clams (RM24) would be their redemption.
And it was.

As a garlic-hater, I approached this dish nervously, but my fears were unfounded.
The seafood reduction was beautifully rich and buttery, but avoided the sin of being heavy. I particularly liked the mix of the herbs and lemongrass, and the clams were sweet.
This dish was made even more perfect by the sheer massive quantity of the clams.
We even clarified with the kitchen if this was the usual serving size, and they confirmed it.
The aftermath. Yes, all those shells were filled, no “empty” shells thrown in to bulk it up.
Our first main was the Lamb Shank, and at RM55, it was suitably massive.

As the star of the dish, the lamb played its part well. The meat was tender, flavourful and fell off the bone.
The sprigs of asparagus were unremarkable.
The garlic mash on the other hand caused us to throw out all the critical terms as if we’re on Masterchef.
“Uninspired. Dense. Powdery,” and finally, “Did this come out from a box?”
After having a bit more of the lamb, though it was good, we did feel that it was a tad heavy. A touch of mint or maybe a dash of citrus might have helped.
The next two mains were Charred Seafood Noodles (RM36) and Chicken Rice Balls (RM28), the former being a reimagining of Char Kuey Teow and the latter, Signature’s take on the iconic Melakan specialty.
Here’s the thing. If you take on classic dishes, you have to be good at them.
Even before I take a bite, I already have high expectations. Choosing to reinterpret Malaysian favourites is almost like setting oneself up for failure. If you do it badly, it’s almost an insult to the original dish.

For RM36, this had better be a damn good claypot (?) of Char Kuey Teow, but it wasn’t.
Let’s talk about the seafood first. The sotong and clams were fine, but the prawns were mushy. The greatest issue I had with this dish was that it brought back memories.
Back when I was a student in my first year in Melbourne, I craved our local delights, which led me to order char kuey teow at one of the restaurants. I was struck by a massive wave of disappointment when I took my first bite, and these noodles brought that back.
That’s right, it tasted like CKT cooked by Westerners.
As you might guess, we were more than apprehensive about the deep-fried Chicken Rice Balls waiting for us.

As first impressions went, they were positive. The balls broke apart with a satisfying crunch, and the salted egg scent was tantalising.
After the first tentative bite, we continued with much more enthusiasm. There was a salted egg craze that swept our country a while back, and though adding salted egg to everything is a bit too much, it really worked as the crust to the chicken rice balls.
The texture of the rice itself was just right, but the chicken stuffed inside felt almost like an afterthought and didn’t contribute at all to the taste or enjoyment.
We also questioned the sauces provided along with the dish (ginger, soy and chilli, respectively). The sauces were actually good, all things considered, but they completely overpowered the salted egg, which was the best part of the dish.
Rather than a main, we thought these balls would be better as entrées, especially since there was a marked lack of protein.
It was finally time for dessert, and we were served what’s usually a crowd-pleaser, the Chocolate Lava Cake (RM26).

First, the plus points. It was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The chocolate lava flow was suitably gooey and it wasn’t too sweet.
Now the negatives. First, the presentation. What was with the cocoa powder very randomly scattered all over the plate?
Second, the ice cream. It tasted icy and lacked the “premium” smoothness and richness we’d normally associate with higher quality ice cream. And with the price of RM26, one would naturally expect better quality ice cream.
Third, and this was the clincher—it just wasn’t very “special” as a dessert. In this day and age with pâtisseries and dessert cafés mushrooming, on a scale of one to awesome, a chocolate lava cake would probably rank as a meh. For its price, it didn’t seem like it was worth it.

At the end of the night, we were satiated. It wasn’t always a “win” in terms of the food, but one thing Signature has going for it?
The view and their excellent service.
Would we return? Probably just for the clams. And the Chicken Rice Balls, Sarah adds.

Here's Our Pick Of The Best Restaurants, Cafés And Bars That Launched In 2018

Being a lifestyle editor, trying out cool foods and new restaurants is a huge part of my job (not that I’m complaining).
And boy did 2018 present a slew of cool new eateries. From unicorn-themed cafés to multi-sensory dining experiences (one of which, sadly, was a pop-up), I’ll leave 2018 having known that I’ve eaten some of the better meals that KL has to offer.
So, in no particular order, here’s our pick of the best gastronomic experiences and restaurants that launched in 2018.
1. Omulab

Being allergic to eggs, I had my writer try out the dishes at Omulab, much to her delight, as she’s a huge fan of eggs. And while omurice is not a foreign concept in KL, with several other places offering the dish, Omulab is the first Japanese omurice specialty store in KL. What’s cool about Omulab is the fact that they place high priority on serving dishes made with only the best ingredients. Heck, they even send their ingredients to a lab in Johor for QC purposes.

Try this: The Master Demiglace (RM20.50)
2. MyPizzaLab

MyPizzaLab is the brainchild of some of the folks behind the well-loved MyBurgerLab, and having that solid fan base alone propelled MyPizzaLab to the forefront of the F&B scene. And the unique ingredients that they use in their pizzas are a huge plus too. Kimchi, blue cheese and boba pearls are just some of the ingredients you’d find on a pizza at this pizza joint—separately of course.
Try these: Boba Milk Pizza (RM15), Jasmine Tiger Beer Boba (RM14)
3. Plane In The City

Park a Boeing 737 in the middle of the city and you automatically have yourself the talk of the town. Much like the likes of Dining In The Dark, the experience itself is half of what makes Plane In The City memorable. Being able to walk along the wing of the plane and play pilot for the evening, it’s easily one of the best experiences you’ll ever have in KL. Food-wise, the meals were exclusively prepared by Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur.
Try these: Roasted Cajun and Herb Chicken, Oreo Panna Cotta (inclusive of the RM199 package)
4. Dáo

By no means am I exaggerating when I say that Dáo could very much have offered the best dish I’ve ever eaten throughout my career—and that’s a whole lot of food. This hipster tau fu fah café has humble beginnings dating back 25 years and follows the recipe of the famous Weong Kee Bean Curd stall in Bercham, Ipoh. Where the latter is run by Mr Lau, Dáo is run by his 3 children. Similar in texture to the famous Funny Mountain in Ipoh, this one wins hands down.
Try this: Ginger Syrup Tau Fu Fah (RM3.50)
5. Tsukiji No. 8

This Japanese restaurant is run by 5 friends with a mutual love for food—Japanese food in particular. Most of the ingredients used at this restaurant are flown in from the famous Tsukiji Market in Japan. And I’d have to give them plus points as well for having dishes that are as fresh as advertised. We did not have a chance to sample it when we were there but Tsukiji No. 8’s chicken karaage is apparently a huge hit as well.
Try this: Ocean’s 8 (RM98)
6. The Deceased

What’s alluring about this speakeasy in KL is how mysterious it is. Chilling music plays in the background as you ascend the steps up to the bar and upon entering, you’ll find drinks paired with severed “hands” and creepy masks. If you’re the sort to dig all things horror and mystery, The Deceased would be an interesting place to hit up.
Try this: I Know What You Did Last Summer (RM35)
7. Curious Kitchen

Watching Curious Kitchen launch in the second half of this year was admittedly quite exciting. The Curious brand has definitely come full circle, having started off as a dining experience located at their own office HQ in Sentul, KL. What’s special about Curious Kitchen is their focus on providing meals which are good enough on their own. Sauces are therefore served on the side and are somewhat optional.
Try this: Iberico Top Loin (RM95)
8. Mean Mince

Mean Mince is a place you’d head to on cheat days, but let’s face it—every day’s a cheat day. With calorific foods that are deep-fried and downright indulgent, Mean Mince can easily become a place you hit up for comfort food. The place itself feels like a retro American diner from the ’50s, complete with red diner booths and its cushioned seats.
Try these: MMDeep Fried Burger (RM18.90), Peanut Butter Shake (RM12)
9. ChubbeeCloud

ChubbeeCloud is another F&B brand which came full circle this year. Having started off as a customised marshmallow brand, ChubbeeCloud is now a full-fledged café in Damansara Uptown. Complete with a claw machine and ball pit bathtub, this café appeals to those who absolutely need a selfie at every Instagrammable spot they hit up.
Try this: Salted Egg Cracker Fries (RM7.90), Signature Hot Mallow Bath of Charcoal Chocolate (RM15)


Let's talk a-bao some buns and The Bao Guys' new caravan outlet at REX KL

The Bao Guys’ (TBG) newest outlet isn’t quite their usual brick-and-mortar or stall that you’d expect—it’s in an Airstream, a type of American caravan that’s cutely rounded, very shiny, and can be mobilised easily.
But they’re not going anywhere anytime soon, as they’re firmly parked at the entrance of Rex KL, a popular haunt for Klang Valley’s youth and hipsters.
When we arrived, the sound of loud chill trap music playing from a DJ spinning some discs filled our ears, colourfully-dressed individuals in alternative fashion crossed our paths, and of course, the unmistakably shiny Airstream of The Bao Guys were one of the very first things we saw.

There was no missing the metallic caravan in the daylight as it reflected the bright sun, kept clean by a spray and cloth that staff would use after each fingerprint left by curious customers.
Behind the counter, a team of four worked tirelessly, toasting baos, filling them, then finishing up with generous saucing.

After co-founder Lucas greeted us, he sat us down and proceeded to serve us some of their signature flavours on the menu (which was pretty much every bao).
Savoury before sweet
For the savoury ones, we tried Little Nyonya, Ay Caramba, Hot Damn, Sawadee Cluck, Chuck Norris, and Beef Be With You.

Frequent diners at TBG’s other outlets may already be familiar with quite a few of these flavours.
Little Nyonya consists of chicken prawn patty topped with a pineapple slice, slathered in nyonya sauce before being wrapped in a white, steamed bao.
This was probably one of our favourites of the bunch, as the nyonya sauce gave a bit of a kick while the pineapple slice provided a tanginess that reminded us of assam.
Meanwhile, Cluck Norris has a deep-fried chicken cutlet with a special gherkin egg mayo in a charcoal bun, and to be honest, the flavours for this were a bit underwhelming.
Egg mayo in general isn’t too flavourful, while the gherkin merely added some crunch and a slight sour note, but neither really did anything to help the chicken shine.
Hot Damn fell into the same pit, as its savoury marinated fried chicken topped with burger sauce in a bao simply didn’t do much for any of us.

Sawadee Cluck brought bolder flavours back, with a coriander marinated fried chicken slathered in onion slaw and sambal mayo, hugged in a charcoal bao.
From the name, we were expecting more familiarly Thai flavours which leaned towards spicy and sour.
The heat was there, but there was a disappointing lack of tang, and we felt that perhaps using some kerabu in place of the onion slaw could change things up.
(A side note regarding the charcoal baos, they’re probably not something you want to eat on a first date. Any pearly whites you have would be marred by the inky-black charcoal bun that also insists on sticking stubbornly to your enamel. The sight definitely makes for a good round of laughs though!)

Ay Caramba was another spicy bao, with fried chicken, mango hot sauce, and mango salsa. While the bao and chicken were fine, both the hot sauce and salsa being mango-forward made the flavours lack complexity.
Having tried TBG’s offerings before myself, one final bao that is hands-down my favourite was Beef Be With You, with its spicy mala braised beef and mala mayo in a deep-fried bao.

There are just so many elements to love here, from the spicy mala braised beef which is extremely flavourful and juicy in comparison to the sometimes drier chicken patties, to the deep-fried bao which is the cherry on top.
Maybe if every other bao was wrapped in a crispy golden bao, I’d like them a little more, but Beef Be With You will undoubtedly remain my favourite TBG bao.
It’s not as spicy as it sounds either, and there’s no typical mala numbing sensation that I could feel. It was just pure goodness in texture and flavour.
Despite their smaller sizes that fit in one hand (only Chuck Norris and Beef Be With You come in a XL size), trying all six mini bao flavours at a go was hearty enough.
Already feeling like baos ourselves…
We finished up with dessert, which was Mochi Bao, a deep-fried pumpkin mochi with taro drip, and some ice cream bao that didn’t seem to be on the menu yet.

Mochi Bao won’t make the cut for those who don’t like boba or taro balls, but I personally quite liked its chewy texture and the mild sweetness of the pumpkin mochi and taro drip.
The ice cream bao was a slab of thickly-cut ice cream in a deep-fried bao, and it reminded me of a modernised version of the old-school ice cream sandwiches you’d buy from uncles on the streets.
The ice cream came from Licky Chan, a local ice cream/tattoo parlour just up the stairs from TBG’s Airstream.
While my colleagues enjoyed the fior di latte ice cream (gelato made from cow’s milk of the highest calibre, with no additional flavourings), it had a savoury taste that I personally didn’t quite enjoy.

I was happy to see them chow down on it though, if only because the ice cream was quickly melting everywhere (proof of its pure dairy creaminess) and causing chaos.
With that being our final meal, we were ready to head home, but not before thanking Lucas and his team. During which, he shared a bit more about TBG’s future plans.
They recently announced the closure of their flagship SS2 outlet, because TBG is now moving onto bigger and better things, starting with an upcoming store at a new, popular mall.
Unfortunately, there’s not much else we can disclose until the team reveals their plans publicly, but they reassured us of one thing: fans haven’t seen TBG at their most creative yet, so stay tuned.

[DKL REVIEWS] This Korean Restaurant In SS15 Intentionally Dims The Lights For A Reason

When we first entered this Korean eatery in SS15, our eyes had to automatically adjust from the bright evening sun to the dark restaurant setting. We were curious as to why the lighting is dim in Outdark SS15 and it didn’t take long for us to find out. One of the PR reps from Korea told DiscoverKL that it’s because Korean men are shy. Yup, who would have thought? ?
“Korean men are typically shy and they find it hard to confess to the girl of their dreams. That is why in Korea, men would take their love interest to a dimly lit restaurant to set the mood for them to confess to her,” the PR rep said.
That is how the dim-light concept came to be for this restaurant chain which is founded by a then-Busan university student in 2010. Outdark recently introduced its first restaurant in Malaysia in 2017 and the DiscoverKL team headed over to try out some of their bestsellers.
Oppa Fishcake Soup (RM34)
The first dish that started us off was the Oppa Fishcake Soup. This dish came in the form of a hotpot—a bigger version of the usual street-food bowl—with an assortment of Korean fishcakes and mushrooms.
We were amazed by the portion of the dish and how appetising it looked. The skewer of assorted fish cakes it came with was meant to be dipped into a hot broth. The hotpot also came with a hard boiled egg and some udon noodles.

The broth was a light one, with a mild sweetness from the radish and savoury from the fishcakes. The chili also added a nice kick to it, but if you’re not too keen on spicy food, it’d be best to consume only a small portion as the spiciness builds up the more you eat it.
Originate Outdark Chicken with Sweet and Spicy Sauce (RM46)
Remember in every K-Drama how the main male lead takes his love interest out for some fried chicken and soju after a heartbreak? Well, let’s just say that the only heartbreak we went through was the fact that we didn’t get to have seconds of this dish.
The Busan-style Originate Outdark Chicken with Sweet and Spicy Sauce consisted of fried boneless chicken pieces which has been battered up and fried to crispy perfection—with the flavourful sauces coating over each piece nicely. We also got to sample the rest of the sauces as a dip and each had its own unique taste.
Personally, I enjoyed this dish even though I’m not much of a fan of sweet or spicy food. Somehow, the balance between the sauces and the tender chicken pieces hit a sweet spot for me. This dish was also the obvious crowd favourite.

Where first impressions count, the Dongrae Seafood Jijim did not disappoint. The abundance of prawns and green vegetable was a good start.
Next came the taste test. The pancake itself was slightly soggy which took away the crunch but that’s how the dish was intended to be; soft, chewy and melts in the mouth. Taste-wise, you had a mouthful of prawn, chives and green vegetable with each mouthful. We certainly weren’t going to complain about that. It also was not overtly oily like some Korean pancakes tend to be.
Chef Choi’s Special Hotpot (RM47)
The Chef Choi’s Special Hotpot was loaded with ingredients and we looked at each other with raised eyebrows, wondering if our team of 4 girls could stomach this dish. The folks at Outdark assured us though that we can definitely finish it amongst our group.
The hotpot consisted of seafood and vegetable which gave the clear broth a distinct taste. It had a strong beef flavour to it. Personally, I would have preferred it if the broth was on the milder end as it tasted too sweet for my liking but the tender meat earned itself a gold star. It was hearty and comforting and did not leave you feeling bloated at the end of it.
Seafood Halmae Ddeok-bokki (RM62)
Our fifth and final dish was the Stir Fry Ddeok-bokki. Expectations were flying off the roof with this dish when we saw the cheese bubbling from the heat.
Taste-wise, the red chili pepper paste could do with a little more spiciness to it as it felt rather bland but the clams and prawns helped with the overall flavours. The ddeok-bokki blended nicely within the sauce and the sides–cheese, kimchi, corn, mashed potatoes and seaweed rice–were good accompaniments.
As there were many elements within the hot plate, we could pick and choose which dishes we personally preferred and there was definitely variety.
Subak Soju (RM38)
We finished off our meal at Ourdark with a refreshing Subak Soju cocktail that consisted of soju, watermelon, and Sprite. We watched the drink being prepared right in front of us by the wait staff at Outdark. The outcome was a drink that was sweet from the fruit and slightly bitter from the soju.
Overall, Outdark succeeded in complementing its food with its setting. We learnt that Koreans tend to prefer sharing food, just like Malaysians, and it justifies their larger portion of food which is meant to be shared amongst a group of friends or a family.
As we left the restaurant, we saw groups of students and families chowing down on some sharing platters and managed to watch first-hand what Outdark’s vision is all about.

Feast Eat: How To Eat Your Money's Worth At This RM199 Seafood Buffet

Feast Eat is a KL buffet guide highlighting anything, from buffet tips to the best dishes to target at some of the top buffets around Klang Valley.

Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur recently revamped their buffet line with selections perfect for meat and seafood lovers. In addition to their live stations, local and international cuisines, they’ve got premium steaks and an upgraded Seafood-On-Ice selection.
Hence, I brought another meat and seafood-lover colleague with me to check out how much we’d be able to consume together.
Seafood-On-Ice
Our Strategy
Between the two of us, we decided that we’ll break down the buffet into two rounds. We targeted the fresh seafood, meats, cold cuts and some desserts for the first round.
Round One
On our table, we had some roasted vegetables with Grilled Australian Tomahawk steak carvings, slipper lobsters, Japanese fresh oysters, fresh poached prawns, crabs, salmon and tuna sashimi as well as a variation of tarts, custards and mini cakes.
For the 2nd round, we had some gnocchi, scallops, sushi, caviar, salmon roe, traditional Chinese soup, naan, beef and duck.
Round Two
Plus, this buffet has free flow Chilean wine for an additional RM100 per pax so we opted for that too. They’ve got Luis Felipe Edwards Pupilla Sauvignon Blanc for their white wine option and Luis Felipe Edwards Pupilla Carmenere for their red wine option.
Seeing as I would be mainly eating seafood, I opted for the white wine that was fruity, smooth and floral. A real palate pleaser to complement the briny seafood flavours.

With that said, here’s how we got our money’s worth and the dishes you should try.
1. Japanese Fresh Oysters
Japanese fresh oysters
Having been through my fair share of hotel buffets with seafood bars, these are by far the creamiest and milkiest oysters I’ve had. Even my colleague who’s had her fair share of them in Japan agreed these were indeed creamy.
The flesh was silky and soft and the liquor (otherwise known as oyster juice) was slightly briny. Combined with a squeeze of lemon, the sweet creaminess was met with an edge of citrus.
Safe to say, we went back for seconds of these Japanese Sakoshi Bay Oysters.
Scallop on ice
Their scallops and mussels were really fresh as well. Slightly more briny, and some were a little grainy, it was delicious but not as memorable as the oysters.
2. King Crab Legs
As the night went along, the waiters kept refilling the seafood counter with more freshly-cooked slipper lobsters, poached prawns, and King Crab legs.
The shells of the King Crab legs were soft enough to break by hand, revealing the tender, sweet and juicy meat within. However, the brine was a little salty albeit flavourful.
3. Poached Prawns
Fresh Poached Prawns
Typically, prawns are steamed with a combination of ginger and Chinese wine. But I love how these prawns were poached just right on their own.
This allows the natural sweetness of it to be present, unadulterated by other flavours. The shells came off clean from the firm meat indicating its freshness.
The slipper lobsters on the other hand weren’t my personal favourite. I found the texture of the meat too soft but my colleague enjoyed it.
4. Salmon Roe and Caviar
At the caviar station, there were handrolled maki rolls, nigiris, and sliced salmon, tuna as well as octopus. Eaten on its own, the thick slices of salmon and tuna were smooth and buttery.
But it was the salmon roe and caviars that caught our attention.

As seen in the photo above, we enjoyed our caviar and salmon roe two ways —on their own and on some sushi.
By this time, I was already rethinking my previous experiences with seafood. Being pleasantly surprised by the oysters’ indulgent creaminess, the salmon roe followed closely, but not too far behind.
In normal sushi bars, salmon roe has the tendency to be like little balls of Omega 3 oils bursting in your mouth. With that in mind, the ones served here proved themselves better.

It was briny, mildly sweet, savoury and almost buttery with a juicy pop. Definitely added a nice layer of flavours to the otherwise plain-tasting sushi rolls.
Caviar on sushi
This may not be the most expensive caviars available on the market but it pops with a slightly sweet and savoury flavour. Also quite a delight to add on a sushi roll.
5. Cheese and Meat on Crackers

With these being in a buffet, you’ll get unlimited options on how you’d like to enjoy your cheese crackers. I opted for some blue cheese with cold cuts and a grape to balance out the heavy gamey flavours.
You can even have it with some caviar, a glass of wine and feel creatively fancy.
6. Handmade Pastas and Sauces
Handmade gnocchi in creamy white sauce
Not giving it all away here but there will be special appearances of the master chefs from Celestial Court and Villa Danieli, both award-winning restaurants.
We opted for some handmade pasta from the Pasta Station and it was a delight to watch it being made in front of our eyes.

Feeling quite full from our previous dishes, it was a nice break to chat with our chef as he prepared our pasta. You can choose between various types of pastas as well as bolognese or white sauce to go with it.
Noticing that we were both Chinese, the chef even excluded beef bacon from the mix until we requested for it, which is a nice touch considering how he did not know if we had any dietary restrictions.
7. Grilled Naan and Beef Rendang

Like most hotel buffet spreads, there has to be lines of local foods. Albeit being stuffed, I couldn’t resist helping myself to some naan and beef rendang.

Being kept in a wooden steamer, the naan was soft and warm. Paired with the flavourful beef rendang and tender chicken satay, my appetite came back quickly enough.
8. Double Boiled Chicken Soup in a Coconut

This particular dish reminded me of my mom’s herbal soups at home. Double boiled in a coconut is chicken with herbs like white fungus and wolfberries.
The soup was really flavourful and gave a nice break from the fatty meats and curries.
9. Grilled Tomahawk Steak Carving
Grilled Tomahawk Steak
One of the main stars of this buffet, the meat was tender and smokey. However, the cuts were rather fatty which I enjoyed but my colleague preferred something leaner.
The tomahawk steak was skillfully marinated with salt, cracked pepper, fresh herbs and garlic so as to draw out the natural sweetness of the Australian steak.
Grilled Lamb Shoulder
Alternatively, you can opt for their lamb shoulder. The meat is rather lean and tender with a good amount of marinade.
10. Desserts
Because it won’t be a Malaysian buffet without some sweet treats to end the meal with, we had desserts next.
Dessert Bar
Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur’s dessert bar had a wide assortment of puddings, cakes, tarts, mini cakes, ais kacang and even fried ice cream.

While everything looks heavenly, we’d recommend sharing the mini cakes and taking smaller slices of puddings. If you’re feeling adventurous, you could even slip in a few during your first buffet round.

These mini fruit-looking cakes seem adorable and delicious but let us save you the embarrassment of not finishing one for being too full.
The red fruit-like tart has strawberry jam and cream mousse on the inside with a jelly layer on the outside.
The green apple-like cake had a lighter tasting custard with an apple pie filling in the middle. The biscuit at the bottom is sweet and savoury which goes well with the custard without making it feel too heavy.
But my favourite of the three would be the mango mousse with cubes of mango in the middle and a chocolate brownie-ish base. The mousse was not too creamy and slightly sweet which would have went well with a cup of coffee.

We’d say the chocolate and mango mousse desserts were our favourites. Not so much on the meringues as the sugar felt a little too coarse and had a sourish taste to it. If you’re a fan of almond-flavoured desserts, do give the green-coloured tart a try!
-//-
Overall, we’d reserve more tummy space for the fresh seafood, grilled meat, pasta, the double boiled chicken soup in a coconut and wine.
For the price of RM199 nett per person, the selection was aplenty and didn’t leave us feeling too guilty for our gluttony.
The Weekend Seafood & Grill Buffet
Price: RM199 nett (Adult), RM68 nett (Child)
When: July 5th onwards, Fridays-Saturdays: 6.30pm-10pm
Where: Essence Restaurant, Level 1, Sheraton Imperial, Jalan Sultan Ismail, 50250 Kuala Lumpur.

Enjoy The Mouthwatering Taste Of Pork Curry Nasi Lemak At This D'sara Eatery

Let’s face it, nothing beats homecooked food and there’s just something about it that evokes a sense of nostalgia.
That very same feeling can certainly be felt at Tables Of Joy, a Damansara Utama restaurant which prides itself on homecooked Malaysian cuisine.
Not only that, all of the meals are lovingly prepared by the mother of the restaurant—Auntie Lilian.

Run by a mother-daughter duo, Tables Of Joy aims to serve up exactly that: joy on a platter. And they aim to do so with their menu which comprises of classic Malaysian flavours across multiple cuisines.
The common thread amongst the dishes is a distinct Chinese and Nyonya flavour as well as some Colonial Hainanese-inspired items.

There’s the Pork Belly Stir Fry with Taucu and Sweet Potato Leaves with Sambal Udang Kering. After having the spicy dish, drink up a hearty bowl of soup that’s nutritious and warms the soul. These bowls of soups are highly requested, so much so that they are now available daily, where they weren’t before.

Chomp down on Mom’s Pork Chops with Table Of Joy’s Hainanese take on the dish. Succulent pieces of pork which has been pan-fried is topped with sautéed onions, mixed vegetables, gravy and a dash of love.
Or opt for another Western classic: Mom’s Pork Bolognese to chase the blues away.

One of the most popular orders at Table Of Joy is the Chicken In A Basket which is a whole chicken served with a side of salad and fries. The chicken is said to be golden and crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside but you can be the judge of that.
For a spicy kick, try the Sambal Assam dish which is a squid and prawn with petai dish paired with white rice and some slaw.

And of course, the dish that most would come to Tables of Joy for: the Signature Lamb Curry served with hand-cut crunchy vegetable acar and poppodoms and Pork Curry Nasi Lemak. Nothing spells Malaysian classics with a twist quite like the aforementioned platters.

With Damansara Utama being a busy area notorious for being without any free parking spots, Tables Of Joy is able to pack meals away and all you have to do is give them a call, place your orders and provide your ETA.
Alternatively, if you’re holding a function, you could even order in bulk and surprise your guests with some delicious homecooked dishes.
So, the next time you’re craving for mom’s cooking, remember to drop by and pay Auntie Lilian and the team a visit at Tables Of Joy.

Hours: Wednesdays-Mondays: 11am-3pm, 6pm-10pm. (Closed on Tuesdays).

This Stunning Glass Container Is ACTUALLY A Bicycle-Themed Library Café In Puncak Alam

Local eateries are finding it increasingly tough to stand out but one new café has little chance of competition, considering how it is situated in its own little space which overlooks an expanse of greenery.
And this Puncak Alam eatery is unique in more ways than one.

Called Ink Library Café, this glass container café has a bicycle theme to it, complete with upcycled bicycle seats as chairs and other upcycled items decorating the space. Not only that, like its name suggests, it’s also a library.

With over 300 imported magazines in store, guests can lounge on comfy couches with a magazine in one hand and a warm cup of java in the other.

Basically, Ink Library Café’s a place you can head to when you need to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and retreat to a comfortable corner with coffee and literature. It’s also a place where artists occasionally hold bazaars selling and displaying their array of arts and crafts.

[DKL REVIEWS] We Try The Bestsellers At Shugatori Dessert Café In Uptown Damansara

In the packed Uptown Damansara shoplot area lies a quaint dessert shop, with this inspirational quote right at their doorstep.
“Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom and a little dessert.”
Image Credit: Shugatori Dessert Café
We at DiscoverKL could not agree more.

The Yin and Yang toast (RM27.90) features a toast made up of signature charcoal and classic toast topped with a perfectly burnt meringue blanket, meringue sticks, dragonfruit balls, a scoop of premium Cookies & Cream ice cream and dark chocolate sauce.

We could already tell how crispy the crust is upon slicing through the toast. The inside is soft and not too dry—like how good toasts should be.

Though a couple of us weren’t particularly big fans of charcoal flavour, this Yin & Yang dish converted us. The toast is complemented by its Cookies & Cream ice cream counterpart. As we combined these 2 flavours together, we enjoyed how the toast was warm but the cold ice cream softened its texture a little. The meringue layer on the other hand, tasted like marshmallow and it wasn’t too sweet like marshmallows tend to be. However, the same could not be said about the meringue sticks because it was oddly chalky and did not serve its purpose well on the plate.

The Golden Lava toast (RM27.90) is a charcoal toast with meringue crisps, chocolate crumbles, a scoop of premium vanilla ice cream and salted egg yolk sauce. A word of caution for this dish: pour the sauce sparingly. We learnt this the hard way when greed took over and we decorated the toast with a stream of salted egg yolk sauce. We were immediately hit by an overpowering taste of salted egg yolk when we took our first bite.

Although the blend of sweet and savoury on this dish is good with the inclusion of the vanilla ice cream and chocolate crumbles, we would advise less salted egg yolk sauce. Instead, you can opt to taste test the sauce prior to dousing the toast with it. Cut up a little bit of everything and have each component in a bite to best enjoy the Golden Lava.

The stack of Red Velvet pancakes (RM25.90) is a red velvet-infused pancake with lemon fromage and served with a scoop of premium Hokey Pokey ice cream and some caramel sauce. While it was generally a tasty dish, the price tag is a hefty one for just a couple of red velvet pancakes. To put things in perspective, this one dish is more than double the price of the red velvet crepe from [email protected] (RM11 for the Red Riding Hood that comes with espresso cream cheese, raspberry coulis and vanilla ice cream).

Although to be fair, we learnt from the staff there that the Hokey Pokey ice cream is from New Zealand, so that would have contributed to the higher price tag.

The Yin & Yang waffle (RM21.90) is a signature charcoal and classic waffle with minty mango and strawberry compote, roasted almond nib, meringue crisps and a scoop of premium chocolate ice cream. The charcoal section of the waffle is pleasantly salty and this made it more enjoyable especially when paired with the selection of fruits like the mangoes and strawberry, as well as the sweet chocolate ice cream.
It was clear that the charcoal is superior to the classic because the former was devoured far quicker than the latter. We would even go as far as to propose that Shugatori includes a full charcoal waffle version of this dish because of how the flavours of sweet and savoury pair so well together. The charcoal itself is salty, the mango and strawberry is slightly sour and the ice cream is sweet. That is 3 flavours within a single bite!

We capped off our meal of desserts with a Fromage Noir (RM18). This dessert comprises of chocolate ganache, mascarpone and a filling of cranberry. It has a creamy exterior and the interior has a mix of textures because of the cranberry. This dish gained mixed reactions from around the table, maybe because we weren’t big fans of the cranberries (one of us initially thought it might be raisin).
Chocolate ganaches are meant to be rich and decadent but the Fromage Noir seemed lacking in the richness. Again we felt the price of this dessert was steep, RM18 for a rather small sized cake is questionable.

All in all, the stars of Shugatori are the toasts and waffles. The rich toppings and the premium ice cream explains the price tag, plus it is rather filling—it’s a full meal for an average eater.
To elevate a simple toast, that’s what Shugatori has done, and done well.

[New Eats] This Kuchai Lama Café Serves Western & Italian Cuisine With A Japanese Twist

Nestled in the quieter area of KL, lies a bright blue restaurant. Not to be confused with Mamasan Restaurant which serves meals with a Southeast Asian influence, PapaSan Canteen is a brand new eatery in Kuchai Lama with Japanese fusion cuisine.

The interior of the café is pretty simple with long wooden tables and stools, as well as white bricks and slabs of wood adorning the walls. Overall, the space itself is quiet enough for you to complete some work here. Best part is, if you figured that the space was inviting, the good food would be a second valid reason for you to stay too.

Start your meal off with the Dragon Maki, which is also ideal as an appetiser. Enjoy the fresh flavours of mango mixed in with savoury from the fried prawn and chewy from the sushi rice. This dish is priced at RM18.

For something warm and comforting, the Asari Clam Miso Soup is a good dish to have. Its taste is similar to clam chowder, but without the creamy texture. It is light and flavourful and if you enjoy a little extra kick, leave a note with the waitstaff to have it spicy too. Enjoy this dish for RM23.

There’s nothing quite as comforting as fried chicken. PapaSan Canteen’s twist to it is bite-sized garlic fried chicken mixed in with a good amount of mayonnaise. The tender, creamy chicken is a complete delight to have and you can have it as a standalone dish sans any rice or noodles.

Every restaurant has their own signature dishes. PapaSan Canteen’s would be the Signature Chirashi which is made out of salmon aburi, crab stick, cucumber, tobiko and topped off with thinly sliced foie gras. For only RM24, you can enjoy a French twist on a Japanese dish.

Bili-Bara-Don is a Chirashi bowl with sushi rice, salmon chunks, cucumber, tamago, radish, and tabiko fish roe. It comes with a slice of lime for some added zest and it’ll leave you with a refreshing aftertaste. This would be a healthier option to have and it is priced at RM24.

The Omu Curry Rice is a protein-packed meal and it comes with a generous portion of omelette, fried chicken and Japanese curry. This dish is priced at RM18.

The American classic hotdog is part of PapaSan Canteen’s light snacks menu. The Chicken Sausage Hotdog (RM16) and Beef Sausage Hotdog (RM18) both comes with a side of fries and the hotdog itself is topped off with bonito flakes, seaweed and pickles. That’s PapaSan Canteen’s way of adding Japanese influence to their Western dishes.

Meanwhile, their Carbonara Spaghetti gets a Japanese upgrade too, with a Teriyaki Mackerel saba fish. The teriyaki flavour interestingly goes well with the carbonara sauce and this Italian-Japanese dish is priced at RM20.

Besides the main meal dishes, PapaSan Canteen also serves cold-brew tea which is high in antioxidants and good for you. Flavours include Japanese Sencha, Iron Goddess Tea Oolong, Big Red Robe Oolong, Aged Oolong Tea and Yunnan Black Tea. The teas range between RM12-RM18.
