10 Restaurants In SS2 And The Signature Dishes You Should Order When You Dine Here

SS2 is known to be a food haven and eateries are aplenty here. Along with the host of restaurants and cafés, there are also a multitude of dishes to choose from. Sometimes, skimming through their menu alone would be enough to give one a headache because we would most certainly be spoilt for choice.
Trying out their signature dishes would then be a safe bet. Here are 10 eateries in SS2 and their signature dishes as per what’s recommended by past guests.
1. Standing Theory

Standing Theory has a pretty colourful interior with pops of bright yellow and orange that somehow blends well with the muted gray background. They have gone for simple, fuss-free decor instead, letting their meals speak for itself. This eatery stands by their theory of how bacon would go well with waffles and banana although the concept may sound odd. However, the sweetness from the fruit actually complements the crispy bacon well. If you want something equally as unique, the lychee and fried mushroom would be a good choice. Don’t knock it till you try it.
Signature Dishes: BBC Waffle + Lychee & Mushroom

2. Coffee Me Darlings

Coffee Me Darling is perfect for dessert lovers. This breakfast and brunch place specialises in meals for those with a sweet tooth. One example of a dish would be the s’mores. It features warm, gooey marshmallows decorated in the shape of a cake. Opt to scoop some of it with the crackers provided. The next dessert to try here is their ice cream waffles which a huge serving of ice cream, complete with whipped cream on the top. The desserts here certainly feels like a meal in itself.

Did you know that Attic Brew Café is actually a pet-friendly café in Petaling Jaya? The setting itself is enough to make any customer and their pets feel comfortable and want to spend several hours there. They have a predominantly brick-like interior with some minimalistic decor as well. As for meals, the seafood risotto at Attic Brew is soft and creamy and it is complemented by scallops, crab claw meat and shimeji mushrooms. Besides the seafood, you should also order the Siu Yok (roasted pork) with Thai Basil Aglio Olio. It is a simple dish packed with flavourful herbs and a good dose of protein from the meat.

The interior of this eatery mimics a classic French bakery and it is spacious enough to house many guests at any one time. When it comes to food, they have mastered the art of making flaky and crunchy croissants. Their salted egg yolk croissant is definitely a big hit due to how gooey the filling is and it complements the crispy dough’s texture. If you’re looking for something more filling, their Teriyaki Chicken Croissant can be considered. It is creamy and filling at the same time.
Signature Dishes: Salted Egg Yolk Croissant + Teriyaki Chicken Croissant

Wake Me Up café has a chilled out vibe perfect for hangouts. They serve up a scrumptious quiche appetiser which is simple yet tasty. Portion size-wise, it is not a pitiful serving but in fact is a pretty large size which can be eaten by one or shared among 2 people. As for their Wake Me Up breakfast, it is the ideal early morning meal packed with plenty of protein, vegetables and even fruit, to keep you going for the entire day!

6. Rekindle Café
Image Credit: Bangsar Babes
Rekindle has an industrial feel to it, what with its brick walls and hipster decors. Their homemade churros with chocolate or caramel dipping sauce would be a great starter before venturing to their cakes. Rekindle is famous for their tasty and unique cake flavours and personally, I would say that all of their cakes are their signature dishes due to how classic yet unique tasting it is. For example, there’s the watermelon vanilla cake, salted cookie caramel, classic red velvet and nutella hazelnut cake. If you’re spoilt for choice, just kindly ask the wait staff and they would point you to one.
Signature Dishes: Churros + Variety of Cakes

7. PS Tokyo
Image Credit: e-c-e-s.blogspot.com
Interestingly, PS Tokyo has a very minimalistic vibe, with only simple furniture and lighting. What stands out most would be the grilled frame where you can get your photos printed with their hashtag and hang it up. Thus far, it has been beautifully decorated by pictures of past guests and you can add your very own onto it as well.
When it comes to food, their soft serve ice cream and cakes are their signature dishes. Basically, if you are looking for heavier meals, this wouldn’t be the right place. It would instead be an ideal supper and tea time place instead. The soft serves come in 3 different flavours of Black Sesame, Milk and Matcha. Besides that, their tofu cakes are pretty decent for anyone that wants to try a cake which is significantly lesser in calories than an ordinary cream cake.
Signature Dishes: Tofu Cakes + Soft Serves

8. The Augmented Café

The simple and white background at The Augmented Café would make its black counter top pop out more. Even though Augmented Café serves decent coffees, their main meals are definitely something worth trying.
For something sweet, their housemade Matcha Cheesecake should something you should look forward to especially making it from scratch. With the generous amount matcha coated around the cake, the matcha lover will love it. Besides that, if you are up for something savoury and sweet, their Sweetened Creamy Duck Pasta will tantalize your taste buds soon.

9. Retro Kitchen
Image Credit: Malaysian Flavours
True to its name, Retro Kitchen features a truly classic and retro vibe complete with decors reminiscent to the 70s. They have plenty of meals that you can choose from but a recommended one would be the Smoked Stuffed Pork Belly with Curry Pasta. It is something different and the meat complements the creamy curry well. Not only that, if you enjoy spicy and smoky flavours, this dish should be on your to-eat list. If you prefer American style dishes, their juicy Pork Burger would be ideal for any meat lovers out there.
Signature Dishes: Smoked Stuffed Pork Belly with Curry Pasta + Pork Burger

10. GO Thai

Did you know that the GO Thai culinary team is operated by Thai housewives, mothers, farmers and street hawkers from villages off Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat)? For main meals, opt to try the Khao Kha Moo which is tender stewed pork knuckle with rice. If you love sauce on your rice which is not spicy at all, Khao Kha Moo would be an ideal meal. The Thap Thim Krop is the perfect dessert to end your meal with. It is an ice-shaved dessert that uses plenty of pink syrup and ‘red rubies’ for an extra crunch.

Here Are 5 Confirmed Concerts You Can Look Forward To In 2019!

John Mayer should’ve added an extra date in KL, as part of the Asian leg of his tour.
Fans of the musician must’ve died a little inside when they realised that the musician would not be including KL as a stop. Although Singapore, Jakarta or Bangkok are options, it’s obvious that not all would have the time or finances to travel for John Mayer’s concert.
Needless to say, it’s a common thing to have popular musicians exclude KL as part of their Asian tour.
But these 5 musicians have proven that KL is a worthy stop and we can definitely look forward to a live performance from them some time this year.

1. Blackpink

YG Entertainment is responsible for Kpop’s biggest groups, including Big Bang, 2NE1 and iKon. Blackpink debuted with their single Whistle in 2016 and the rest, as they say, is history. Since then, the girl group has released chart-topping hits like Boombayah, Forever Young and Ddu-Du Ddu-Du.
When: February 23, 7pm-9pm
Where: Stadium Malawati Shah Alam
Purchase tickets here.
2. LANY
https://thespinoff.co.nz
LANY is a 3-man band best known for songs like ILYSB, Good Girls and Super Far. But this is not the first time that LANY has graced our shores—they’ve performed to a sold out show in KL Live back in 2018. While the exact venue has yet to be announced, we do know that the band will be dropping by for a show in July.
When: July 27, 7pm-10pm
Where: Kuala Lumpur
Buy tickets here.
3. Kodaline

Kodaline started off with just childhood friends Steve and Mark. Subsequently, Vincent and Jason joined the duo, forming the 4-piece indie rock band that we know today. Chances are that you might know a couple of Kodaline’s songs, even if you don’t follow the band’s music closely. Kodaline’s songs have featured in 17 television shows and movies, including Grey’s Anatomy and The Vampire Diaries.
When: March 3, 8pm
Where: KL Live

4. HONNE

Playing at this year’s Good Vibes Festival alongside Kodaline, HONNE already has sold out tickets for the 2nd day of the festival. That alone is testament to the band’s popularity in Malaysia. HONNE comprises of uni mates James and Andy and they’ve released 4 albums since their inception in 2014.
When: March 1-2, 8pm
Where: KL Live

5. Shane Filan

Fans of Westlife would recognise Shane Filan within a heartbeat. After all, he was one of the main vocalists for the boy band. Shane has remained active in his music career, even after the band disbanded in 2012. He will be performing alongside Fazura and Namewee at the upcoming Elmina Lakeside Concert organised by Sime Darby.
When: January 19, 5.30pm
Where: Elmina Valley Central Park
Buy tickets here.
2018 was the year of concert experiences in KL, with acts like OneRepublic, Dua Lipa and Zedd playing shows here. There will certainly be more acts added throughout the year but for now, we can look forward to these 5 concerts.

非吃不可！KL超推荐 の正宗传统北海道拉面！就在Menya Miyabi?

说到日本的食物，除了寿司，大概大家最熟悉的就是『拉面』。之前小编的学姐到日本去旅行时，她就尝试了道地的日本拉面，回来就跟小编说超好吃！弄得小编心痒痒的，因为小编可是拉面的爱好者啊！?
但是伦家又没钱去日本吃拉面….. ??不过，现在小编也不用担心了，因为KL也开了一家超正宗又道地的拉面！超兴奋超幸福的啦～ 这家叫做Menya Miyabi『麺や雅』的拉面店就位于KL 的Sunway Pyramid。

Menya Miyabi 是一家来自北海道的拉面馆，在日本已有3家分店。首家海外分店在槟城，第二家就在吉隆坡。师傅还是来自日本Hokkaido并已有15年的经验，因此，Menya Miyabi 的拉面可说是北海道传统拉面哦！

来这里的顾客，一踏进店里便可闻到拉面的香气，因为店里头是半开放式的厨房，让大家可看到厨师们现煮的拉面，简直令人流口水啦！
Menya Miyabi 的拉面都是根据独家秘方制作，Miso酱汁也是专门从日本运回来，再搭配熬了7个多小时的猪骨汤，汤头味道非常浓郁又不油腻，面条很弹牙Q嫩，绝对让你口齿留香。由于味道实在太正宗啦，所以很多在大马居住的日本人也都会选择这家面馆过过瘾，回味下家乡的味道。

此外，共有4种汤底供顾客选择，烧味噌拉面，酱油汤底拉面，盐味汤底拉面和豚骨拉面。面条则有粗面和细面可选择。店里的招牌就是【烧味噌拉面】和【豚骨拉面】。如果你的口味偏淡，可告诉店员，他们会免费加汤给你哦～
这家店的拉面配料也很丰富，加上肥瘦适中又多汁的叉烧和半熟溏心蛋，真的超好吃啊！??而且保证原汁原味，因为Menya Miyabi 都会让他们的厨师到日本去学习制作拉面，以确保能够为大马分店的顾客吃到最道地的拉面味道哟。

除了拉面，麺や雅也有日式咖喱饭，炒面，水饺等等.. 味道都非常棒！
因此，想吃正宗的日本拉面？那你一定要来Menya Miyabi！????????

#SaveOrSplurge: What RM680 Will Get You This Valentine's At Thirty8, Grand Hyatt

#SaveOrSplurge is a new DiscoverKL series highlighting the most luxurious makan spots, activities, places and travel spots in and out of KL. Leave it to our team to find out if you should just “save your money” or “splurge all the way”.

For Valentine’s this year, Thirty8 @ Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur presents a 5-course meal prepared by its master chefs, Chef Salehin and Chef Rizauddin. Our team had the pleasure of dropping by to try it out to see if it’s really worth the price tag of RM680 per couple.
Here’s what you’ll get:
1. Views that will be etched in your mind for a while

There’s a reason why Thirty8 is one of KL’s most well-loved fine dining experiences. Look outside the window and you’ll be rewarded with a view of KL’s more iconic infrastructures, what more from the vantage point of the thirty-eighth floor.
Upon arrival, you’ll be served with a rose fairy cocktail (definitely a refreshing twist to good ol’ rose) while you wait. The slightly fizzy drink is topped with butterfly pea flowers which we did not eat, but are completely edible.

2. Thoughtful little touches

On a typical day, rose petals on your dining table is impractical and frankly, absurd. No one in their right mind does that. But admittedly, once in a while, it’s nice to dine with rose petals scattered in your line of sight as you dine with your loved one. It’s little touches like these that help to set the mood for a romantic meal.
3. Meals that are unpretentious

Nothing irks me more than a stalk of leaf that you can’t eat or a garnish that merely garnishes but can’t be consumed. These are sadly, often times, observed in a fine dining experience. Fortunately, at Hyatt, there’s none of that. Everything on your plate serves a purpose to heighten your senses or simply because it’s delicious.
4. Appetiser: Smoked Salmon Tartar, Hibiscus & Black Sesame

One example of a meal with plenty of different elements (all of which are edible) is the appetiser we had. The dish is made of caviar, smoked salmon tartar, a sesame tuille and hibiscus.
Chef Salehin shared with us that hibiscus is used as a side and also as the glaze. The dish comprises of sweet, savoury and sour elements. Hibiscus might sound like an odd ingredient but its purpose is to add a hint of sweetness to the dish as the smoked salmon tartar already contributes to the savoury element.
5. Soup: Crustacean’s Bisque, Papaya Ravioli

The seafood bisque is made of shell fish and made for an appetising dish prior to our main.
Dictionary Time: A Bisque is a smooth, thick soup which is often times made with seafood.
It’s got a nice thick consistency but does not fill you up quickly. We learnt that as Thirty8 is a halal restaurant, lemongrass is used in place of wine. The resulting flavour is one which is not too heavy. The mirepoix element in the dish has been slow boiled for 8 hours. Chef Salehin noted that if the team is preparing larger volumes, they will cook it for even longer.
Dictionary Time: Mirepoix is a French style of cooking where diced vegetables are cooked, often times with butter, oil or fat, for a long time over low heat.
6. Sorbet: Lemongrass with Pineapple Sorbet

There’s an intermission in your meal when the palate cleanser is served. After the rich bisque we just had, it’s nice to have something with a hint of sourness. It’s just a small portion but enough to whet your appetite for the main.
Chef Rizauddin said that the dish has lemongrass and pineapple elements in it. “For this concept, I was inspired by how in every relationship, there are sweet and sour elements along the way.” We liked how he genuinely wanted to portray what love is all about in his dish, and frankly, he did quite a good job at that.
7. A choice of Beef or Fish for your main dish
You’ll have the option of an:
Australian Black Angus Beef Tenderloin with Truffle Beignets, Onion Soubise
or a
Wok-Fried Alaskan Cod Fillet, Shimeji, Pak Choy, Kung Pao Sauce.

We had the opportunity to try both. For the beef, we went with medium rare and as expected, it was tender. It’s actually quite the task to achieve a perfect medium rare. Anyone who has ever attempted this before would know. Slicing into the thick slab, you’ll find a nice pinkish, reddish tone. It’s not overly seasoned and the accompanying flavours help, so definitely have a little of everything on your fork, with each bite.
The beef we had was accompanied by the buttery cloud-like truffle beignets.
Dictionary Time: A Beignet is a type of deep-fried fritter or dough which can be consumed either sweet or savoury.
The truffle beignet has a soft pillowy texture that’s pretty effortless. We wished there were more than 2 truffles in the dish because they were gone quicker than we liked. As for the onion soubise, the flavours aren’t too strong, which is a good thing because you won’t want the soubise to overpower the heavenly truffle beignet.
Dictionary Time: A Soubise is a thick sauce made from onion puree. It’s usually poured over eggs or any form of protein as a sauce.

The Alaskan Cod Fillet was an interesting addition to Thirty8’s Valentine’s menu. Where the majority of the meals we had were greatly influenced by French and Western styles of cooking, this dish is clearly very Oriental. It even comes with pak choy and kung pao sauce. Not that we’re complaining, as it was very well done. The fish has a nice crispy exterior, so much so that when we ran our fork across the skin, it gave us that satisfactory sound of a firm, crisp crust.
8. Dessert: White Chocolate And Raspberry Jelly Parfait

Chef Rizauddin shared that this dessert resembles a tower and signifies the pillar in a relationship. Where every relationship would ultimately go through patches of sweet and sour, it is represented in this white chocolate and raspberry dessert.
The white chocolate exterior paired well with the tart raspberry jelly middle and because it is served with fresh berries, it’s very fresh and a nice end to our meal.
So, is the Valentine’s meal at Thirty8 a #SaveOrSplurge? Here’s a breakdown based on your spending category:
College/Uni Students: Don’t even think about it. Considering how most college/university students are not earning a steady income, it would be hard to justify blowing more than RM600 off on a single meal. Worth considering in the future though.
Young Working Adults: Worth trying at least once. The level of sophistication (both in the ingredients used and in the ambiance) justifies the price tag). After all, hibiscus powder and Black Angus Beef Tenderloins are not cheap ingredients to start off with. So, if you’re up for a gastronomical experience, give this a go. But be prepared to eat simpler meals in the coming month.
Working Professionals: You’ve earned this (literally and figuratively speaking). Sure, realistically, even if you’re earning a five-figure salary, it can be painful to part ways with RM680 on a single meal. But it’s definitely a chance to experience the finer things in life. But be sure to limit such experiences to only once a month.
Thirty8’s Valentine’s Day 2019

Foo Foo Review: Ferrero Rocher-Like Desserts & Assam-Infused Watermelon Granitas

Foo Foo is surprisingly unpretentious for what they are offering on the menu: fine desserts.
Co-founder Jack shared with DiscoverKL how their aim is to offer affordable prices for fine desserts and they are an alternative to the hotel fine desserts experience. In fact, that’s one of the reasons why Foo Foo is situated on the first floor— to do away with any unnecessary overhead costs.
Stepping within, we found that the ambiance of the café is down to earth and it’s decorated with plenty of greenery (in fact, if you are seated at the back section of the space, there are a myriad of greens in vases and glass jars that make for great props for your dessert shots).
My colleague Grace mentioned how it feels just like your mom’s kitchen.

And you’d see that in the way how a mini aquarium is placed on the bar counter, a rattan baby chair is placed in the corner, 24 Chinese calendars make up a feature wall and it is accompanied by rough sketches of a café.
Jack hails from an architectural background and he had some of his friends in the industry sketch up some of the drawings on the wall. Essentially café mock-ups, I love how raw it feels. It almost gives guests of Foo Foo an insight to how the team envisioned the space to be. Definitely a nice touch.
Foo Foo, which has been around for 3 years, remains relevant by constantly updating its menu to include or omit certain dishes every couple of months. In fact, this is the 19th version of their menu.
Co-founder Foo, who is the more soft spoken of the pair lets his food creations speak for themselves. Coming from a culinary background, he is the sole brain behind all of the desserts at Foo Foo.

We tried some of their newer desserts. The Hazelnut Chocolate Crackle with Chocolate Cremeux & Cocoa Dentelle (RM27) was introduced back in July and features rice puffs with hazelnut, chocolate and cremeux— which is slightly thicker than mousse. It’s topped with a dentelle which is a lace-like tuile biscuit.
The rice puffs base is slightly denser than what we had imagined and though it requires a bit of effort to cut through the layers, it’s worth it once your teeth sinks in to the creamy layers of the cremeux.
“It tastes just like Ferrero Rocher,” I told Jack and he nodded in agreement.
The tuile, on the other hand, will be that one element that brings about nostalgia and I’ll be kind enough to let in on what it’ll remind you of—that’s because I spent 10 minutes Googling festive cookies that the tuile reminded us of.
You’re welcome.
The tuile gives off a denser Raya Cornflake cookie vibe and you’ll note this in the after taste. It takes a while for the flavours to kick in but after 15 seconds, you’ll be met by warm flavours of honey.
The Hazelnut Chocolate Crackle is pretty much like a Saturday morning in front of the telly. It’s 9-year-old you clad in pajamas whilst tucking in to a chocolate milk cereal with rice puffs.
Jack echoed my thought, noting that the dish was made with kids in mind. As Foo Foo has their fair share of families coming in, this is a foolproof desserts that kids would typically enjoy—and those who are kids at heart of course.
The best part is how every element on the dish is edible and serves a purpose where flavours are concerned.
“We make it a point to create desserts with elements that are all edible,” Jack stressed and that’s the way it is with traditional fine desserts.
Foo Foo is old school like that.
Where most fine dessert cafés are fighting to serve the modern version of plated desserts with all the added elements (some which are not even edible), Foo Foo remains timeless with their traditional desserts which are equally as unique and beautiful in their own right.

Next, we had the Ginger Custard Pudding with Watermelon Granita & Wafer Cookie (RM28). The dish was just introduced during the final weeks of September and we were perhaps the first few to be able to sample the treat.
Desserts don’t necessarily need to be rich to be good and the watermelon proves this to be true with a watermelon shaved ice which has been spiked with Assam.
Foo mentioned that he included Assam in the dish as he enjoys Assam with his cut fruits and still has them to this day.
The layer beneath the ice is a cold custard. Made with egg, cream and milk, it has a strong ginger flavour which is pleasant and not off-putting. You’d also find bits of green grapes interspersed within the layers and this gives you something to munch on in a dessert which might lack texture.
Foo Foo whips up new desserts every couple of months and we can’t wait to see what they’ll come up with for their 20th menu update.

Sri Petaling咖啡馆推荐，美式美食！新推出的咖喱+Waffle 超好吃！

说到美式华尔夫松饼（Waffle）,小编最近发现到Sri Petaling一带的一家咖啡馆推出了超特别口味的华尔夫松饼。
就是这家 5.1 Cafe Gallery，他们最近新推出了咖喱肉松饼！听起来是不是觉得『啊，咖喱搭配松饼，这组合会不会太奇怪了点？』
Image Credit：OpenRiceMalaysia
小编告诉你们一点都不会！吃起来有点像在吃咖喱面包的感觉，微辣的咖喱非常可口浓郁，不油腻。而且老板也非常豪迈，每一份华尔夫松饼上的咖喱鸡肉份量都超大的! 鸡肉很软很滑嫩，和松饼搭配起来其实非常好吃。
如果你胃口很小，那可能就要两个人一起share这份松饼咯！
这家咖啡馆除了咖喱松饼，当然还有其他口味的松饼如：巧克力松饼+抹茶冰淇淋，培根松饼，水果松饼等等。

除了松饼，还有其他的美式小吃如奶油Tortilla。 Tortilla也就是墨西哥卷饼，香脆又酥酥的饼皮夹着甜甜的奶油和草莓，吃起来有点酸有点甜，就像初恋的感觉！
这个小吃真的很开胃，会让你一口接一口的吃上瘾。他们的三文治，汉堡包也都非常受顾客的欢迎。

此外， 5.1 Cafe的拉花咖啡也非常精致可爱！咖啡味香扑鼻而来，连拉花的图案都会让你舍不得喝呢！
如果你想要漂亮的拉花图案如下图一样，记得在点咖啡时告诉店员一声！
别害羞，因为这里的店员都非常的和蔼可亲。

店内环境的气氛也很棒且舒适，非常适合一群朋友或家人来聚会与放松。
这里要parking也很方便哦！食物价钱也超亲切的～

We try out the largest indoor edutainment theme park in M'sia, here's what we think

Recently, Nextgen Themepark, the largest indoor “edutainment” outlet in Malaysia has opened its doors in One Utama Shopping Centre, Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya.
Recognised by the Malaysian Book of Records, the outlet spanned about 45,000 sq ft, and it included many fun activities ranging from wall climbing to obstacle courses.
However, the biggest draw for us was the Night Owl Tickets, where you can get 50% off the ticket’s original price if you go in from 7:45PM onwards on Mondays to Fridays.
Being occupied during the day with our jobs, we saw this discount as an opportunity to check Nextgen Themepark out after work.

But before we elaborate more on what we found when we were there, here’s what to expect regarding the price.
Weekday PriceWeekend PriceNight Owl Ticket (Mon ~ Fri 7:45PM onwards)Adults – RM38Children – RM28Adults – RM55Children – RM45Adults – RM19Children – RM14
Because my colleague and I got ourselves the Night Owl tickets, we only spent RM38 for two tickets and RM14 for two pairs of grip socks, which are socks with rubber padding underneath to stop wearers from slipping about while running about.
Note: The grip socks are reusable, so bring them along on your next visit to save yourself from spending another RM7.
While there’s no harm in carrying your bags into the premises, leaving them unattended while you run around is not a good idea.
Near the entrance, there’s a designated area where you can store your shoes at. There are lockers for you to store your belongings with a fee of RM6 for the whole day.

As you enter the main area of the Nextgen outlet, you’ll first be greeted by the Ninja Challenge Arena, filled with a variety of obstacles for you to navigate through.
Based on the promotional videos shown at the front of Nextgen, there are supposed to be a bunch of checkpoints scattered throughout the obstacle course that you will have to tap as you run through the obstacle course, but it was not available while we were there.
Once the checkpoints are functional, there could be a Ninja Challenge Arena competition somewhere in the near future.
Climbing to the top of the Ninja Challenge was moderately challenging, likely due to my height (about 173 cm), making it slightly difficult to squeeze through certain obstacles.

We liked how there’s a large variety of obstacles, each with its own set of challenges to test your balance, coordination, and nimbleness when traversing between each section,
If there’s one flaw I have to point out, it would be the flying fox obstacle, where the sudden stop may be too abrupt for some people to handle.

Reaching the peak of the Ninja Challenge Arena, you get a bird’s eye view of the Nextgen theme park.
Getting out was quite simple because we needed to follow the same path we came in from and climb down a few openings on the floor until I reached the bottom floor.

Directly opposite the Ninja Challenge Arena, you’ll find the Imagination Playland. Children can roleplay as a firefighter, police officers, a chef, or even a merchant at a market.
Adults may have difficulty navigating this area because the ceiling was relatively low, requiring us to hunch down as we went from room to room.
Right beside Imagination Playland is where you’ll find the kids playground, which has some obstacles similar to the Ninja Challenge Arena, except they’re not as strenuous. There’s also a slide in the middle for a quick exit.
Heading towards the back, there’s a wall climbing section with an auto-belay system which will lower the climber slowly in the event of a fall or once they’ve reached the top of the route.

Unfortunately, we could not try out the wall climbing section for ourselves as it was closed during our visit.
There are party rooms beside it that you can book for activities, like birthday celebrations, from RM28 per pax.
Once we were done with this section of the theme park, we went upstairs, where there were more activities to try out.
Here, we found another entrance to the Ninja Challenge Arena obstacle course that leads to the main area, complete with its own set of obstacles.
There’s also a trampoline section where you can jump around and shoot some basketball hoops or stick yourself to the velcro-lined wall while wearing a velcro suit, which could hold my weight (56kg) without ripping off the wall.

There’s a padded court called the bubble bang beside the trampoline zone, where you ram into each other while wearing a big bubble suit or playing soccer.
There’s another section at the back where you’ll find the Virtual League, a room filled with Playstation 5s and Nintendo Switches. Best of all, you can stay here as long as possible until 10PM.

There are more Karaoke rooms and a glow-in-the-dark dance floor which were not open yet.
Overall, as adults, we found Nextgen to be a fun play to blow off some steam and de-stress after a long day’s work, and it wasn’t too expensive with the Night Owl tickets.
We can also see how this place can be suitable for families looking to spend time and play with their children after work.

Experience The Ultimate Cheese Adventure With These 10 "Mesti Cuba" Cheesy Dishes In KL

Cheese. Just one word, cheese. It’s basically like tasting paradise in your mouth and Malaysians just can’t seem to get enough of it.

Here are some of the cheesiest dishes that you should try in KL, including cheesy chicken dishes and even cheese naans.
1. Restoran Selera MY
Image Credit: RSMY Best Naan
You know what’s good with the traditional Indian flatbread of naan? Curry and dhal, sure they taste great with it but do you know what else tastes just as good? Cheese, duh. RSMY or Restoran Selera MY is well known locally for their cheese naan. It is literally the stuff of dreams, with its oozing mozzarella goodness. At RSMY, there are 3 must-try cheese dishes: Cheese Naan, Garlic Cheese Naan and Yummy Cheese Naan. Besides naan, the restaurant also offers other food like shish kebabs and Penang laksa.

2. San Nae Deul BBQ Bistro
Image Credit: San Nae Deul BBQ Bistro
What is better than cheese? The answer could very well be a bottomless amount of refillable cheese paired with Korean BBQ. At San Nae Deul BBQ Bistro, you’ll get just that. Savour some Korean BBQ buffet of roasted porks and Korean fried chicken with some hot, melted cheese for the ultimate cheese experience.
Hours: 11am – 10pm, daily

A type of food that has no doubt gained a lot of popularity as of late is none other than Korean Fried Chicken.

5. Nathan’s Corner
Image Credit: Sini Kaki
The cheese naan that is available at Nathan’s Corner has a messy but satisfying twist to both its look and taste. Where most naans has cheese melted in between the crust of the Indian flatbread, Nathan’s Corner elevates the dish and makes it a lot cheesier by adding strands and strands of cheese all over the top.
Hours: 24 hours, daily
Address: No.1, Jalan 6/155, Taman Industri Bukit OUG, 58200 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
6. Hwang Hae Korean BBQ

Steven’s Corner has been around since the late 70s but its popularity has not declined and it’s still well known today for the popular and super cheesy naan. At Steven’s Corner, the cheese naan is certainly a meal in itself with the thick layers of cheese. Opt to pair it with some dhal or have the dish on its own.

Don’t be fooled by the name of this restaurant as it’s actually an Asian fusion eatery.

One of their standout dishes is the Super Cheese Teppan which is chicken and salmon on a huge bed of stringy cheese.

We Try Premium Katsu Sandos That Have Gold Leaf, Caviar, M8 Wagyu & Foie Gras

Fascinated by the beautiful photos and the luxe extravagance of their dishes (caviar AND gold leaf?), we got Yakuza by Dark delivered over to try.
?ORDER AGAIN: Truffle Unagi Don (RM45): With large piece of unagi, this particular dish is on our “order again” list because it just feels the most value for money. Truffle fans however might want to manage their expectations, because we found that the strong umami of the unagi and its sweet sauce were the flavours that shone through. The truffle was more of a hint and mild undertaste.

Seafood Don (RM45): First off, the shrimp was really good: juicy, well-cooked with a firm bounce. We could have eaten a lot more of it. The other ingredients were also fresh, but one thing that stood out was that there was little or no seasoning on the rice and it wasn’t sushi vinegar rice either. As this dish didn’t have a sauce accompanying it, with the generous amount of rice, it felt very plain.

Wagyu Karubi Don (RM45): The beef itself was tender and easy to chew, but if you don’t like the strong “meaty and gamey” taste that some red meats have, you might want to pass on this.

Yakuza M8 Wagyu Katsu Sando (RM148): Visually, this sando looked irresistible, with the black bread, glistening caviar and thick red meat. However, it could have had more sauce, because although we want the natural flavours of the ingredients to shine through, it needed more salt and taste. Having said that, this was Sarah’s favourite, albeit its steep price.

Yakuza M8 Wagyu Katsu Sando with Foie Gras (RM168): We love foie gras so having it added to the katsu sando was a big plus. Also, if you compare both the prices, adding an extra RM20 to indulge in additional foie gras of this size is definitely worth it, if you were already going to get the sando.
You can make your order on WhatsApp or see the Yakuza by Dark menu here.


This Website Can Help You Find A Carpool Buddy To #PulangMengundi

#PulangMengundi is a trend that went viral on social media beginning early this week.
It all started when Malaysians received news that the polling date for #GE14 is set for May 9.
The #PulangMengundi trend soon began and it wasn’t long before the Twitterverse was filled with interactions between Malaysians who want to return home to vote.

Alongside #PulangMengundi, #CarpoolGE14 was trending as well with people offering help to those who needed transportation aid or cash subsidies for their toll or petrol fare. The hashtag worked both ways: those who needed help as well as those who wanted to offer said help.
Now, there’s even a #PulangMengundi website.
Though not run by the same folks behind the original #PulangMengundi trend, it has the same goal and outcome: helping Malaysians have a say for the future of Malaysia.

The site is run by a group of young Malaysians who were inspired by the trend and hoped to do their part as well. It’s made very clear that they do not collect or disburse any money and merely help to connect Malaysians.
To make the carpooling experience a safe one, users are advised to exchange contact details prior to their journey home—likewise for those who wish to transfer money to those who require travel subsidies.
With the elections less than a month away, Malaysians who require assistance or wish to offer it can opt to do so with the #PulangMengundi website.

YummyFlowerz is definitely an apt name for a florist specialising in edible bouquets. There are numerous forms of fruit bouquets that you can purchase but we’d definitely suggest going for the ‘berries dipped in chocolate’ bouquet. The Berry Babies bouquet can be purchased in small, medium and large sizes.

Kindori’s version of a bouquet is in the form of ice cream lollipops. They pride themselves on using only fresh ingredients for their ice cream lollipops and no colouring or preservatives are used. Just leave this bouquet to chill in the freezer while you head out for a Valentine’s meal with your girl, then return and have this for dessert.

Koffeeling.Fefeeling is mostly known for their fried chicken bouquets but they also have a unique chicken and waffle bouquet. The waffles and chickens have been individually cling wrapped to maintain its freshness so even if you don’t have it on Valentine’s day, you can always heat it up for lunch or dinner the next day. Alternatively, if bae’s into fruits and vegetables, you can opt to add on some broccoli, oranges and cherry tomatoes. 😛

Ideal for your veggie-loving bae, Soul 21st Design has a fresh vegetables bouquet consisting of mushrooms, corn, cherry tomatoes, carrots, broccoli, capsicum and brinjal. It’s definitely one of the more colourful bouquets on this list and the healthiest one too! 😉

[DKL Gets Personal] Sean Ooi & Lim Sing Yi Of Strangers At 47

Strangers At 47 is no stranger to anyone who lives around the PJ area. This café is known for both their savoury and sweet fusion crepes which uses only the freshest ingredients. Not only that, aromatic roasted coffee and a comfy café interior would make you stay here longer than you might expect!
This iconic eatery in Seksyen 17 was brought to life in 2014 by couple and best friends, Sean Ooi and Lim Sing Yi. In the past few years, the business has continually thrived under the skillful attention of both the founders. Discover KL recently caught up with the founders of Strangers at 47 as they share about how they got into the business, which are their personal recommendations off the menu, and much more.
Image Credit: Strangers At 47
1) What is your backstory before getting into the business?
Sean (S): Prior to starting this business, Sing Yi and I have just both graduated from Taylor’s University where I majored in Culinary and Sing Yi majored in Hospitality Management.
2) Why did you start this business?
S: It was my dream to start a food business, ever since I was a kid, and thankfully I met Sing Yi, who is  extremely interested to run a food business as well.
The restaurant concept came from a family discussion over meals. Both of us cooked at home and had many meals with my mom, who told us of her wonderful crepe experience in Melbourne. Inspired, I begun to explore the concept of fusion crepes and found that some which I have created have been hugely popular with my family and close friends. Added to the fact that it’s extremely rare to find a café that specialises in crepes, it was an unanimous decision!

3) What are your best and worst moments throughout the business?
S: The most memorable/best experience was us getting nominated as best café  in Time Out KL Food Awards back in 2014, 2015. We have been recently shortlisted in this years’ Time Out KL Food Awards too! Therefore making it our 3rd year running! We hope to be able to take back the award this time round.
Back in 2014, we’ve literally just opened barely a month and to our surprise, we received news that we were shortlisted under the Best Café category. It was an amazing boost of motivation and morale.

The worst moment for us is when we had to pause our newly launched menu (Friends at 45) which consists of roasted chicken with side dishes as we are facing shortage in manpower. Manpower is our number 1 challenge as we hire only locals. It’s not difficult to come across people interested to work in the F&B industry, but challenge lies in that even when people are interested, they are hesitant to commit because of the perception that F&B has ‘no future’.
As we are an independent café with a young team, parents of graduates would rather their children work in bigger establishment like hotels.
We foresee this to be an ongoing challenge, and the best thing we can do is try to change the perception. We are driven not just by the rewards or satisfaction of success, but also by the fact that our success will be testament and proof to anyone that it is possible to have a bright and lucrative future working in the F&B industry.
4) Which meal would you recommend to your customers?
S: Usually for first timers, we would recommend both our crowd favourites: A hen’s crush for savoury, and Dark Side for sweet.
Image Credit: Strangers At 47
Image Credit: Strangers At 47
5) If you were to rate your business between 1 to 5, what number would it be?
S: Well, nothing is perfect but we would like to strive to be perfect. What makes us proud from this business is that knowing our customers enjoy themselves here. Receiving compliments and encouraging feedback from them, it makes our day, each and every time. So no rating for us!
6) Choose one dish from your restaurant that you wouldn’t mind eating for the rest of your life.
Image Credit: Spicy Sharon
S: Shore To Please! Because the flavours of the Cajun tiger prawns, battered squid goes very well with the salted egg sauce! As a Malaysian, we seem to really like food which are able to “dance” in our mouth and this is the dish which has that flavour.
7) What are you looking forward to for Strangers At 47?
S: Right now, we’re enjoying ourselves and letting fate (and customers’ feedback) inspire us to explore the possibilities. Our ultimate dream however, is to have a beautiful boutique hotel that would include Strangers as the restaurant. Strangers at 47 was a dream before it became a reality, so let’s hope this works out the same way!

12 Stalls We Can't Wait To Hunt Down At The Largest Pop-Up Market In M'sia!

We’re only a week away from one of the most anticipated events of the year—Artbox Malaysia. The famed pop-up market has made its rounds in Bangkok and Singapore. Now, KL-ites will have the chance to wander through the maze of iconic stalls and shop to their heart’s delight.
We’ve curated a list of must-visit stalls and because you’d likely be bowled over by the majority of their offerings, we’ve also narrowed down how much you’d likely spend on their bestselling products/foods respectively.
1. The Write Shop
Image Credit: The Write Shop
Okay, can we just take a minute to appreciate the Scandinavian appeal of The Write Shop? As an avid fan of journals, heading to The Write Shop would be an outright trap and I’d likely leave with less money than before I arrived. But I’d likely not mind either. Simplicity done right, The Write Shop’s product list includes journals, planners, desk calendars and sticky notes.
Stalk them: The Write Shop
Their bestseller: Joytop planners with meaningful quotes etched on the cover

How much moolah to shell out: RM5-RM20
2. The Baking Trip
Image Credit: The Baking Trip
A quick scroll through The Baking Trip’s IG page and you’d likely be famished—you’ve been warned. It makes complete sense as founders Gillian Beh and Neo Shen Jet have an eye for photographing foods. They are after all food stylists and photographers themselves. From moist chocolate banana cakes to Victoria blueberry cakes, these cakes are stunners in their own right. What makes The Baking Trip stand out though, is their savoury cakes. Lovingly called Popeye’s Love, flavours include spinach, Feta cheese, Romano Cheese and Basil.
Stalk them: The Baking Trip
Their bestseller: The Vanderlea, a citrus cake coated in a gorgeous baby blue icing (it’s made with butterfly pea flowers!)
How much moolah to shell out: RM15-RM20
3. The Tea Story
Image Credit: The Tea Story
Specialising in premium tea, this Singaporean brand will be making their debut in KL this November. The Tea Story prides themselves on perfecting the luxury experience and they do that with organic tea blends in flavours like Lavender Parfait, Peach Paradise and Rose Blanc. This is the sort of tea you’d want to brew in a classic teapot and have a side of scones with.
Stalk them: The Tea Story
Their bestseller: Jasmine Crème Brûlée, an aromatic dessert-flavoured brew
How much moolah to shell out: RM17-RM42
4. Studio Saturday
Image Credit: Studio Saturday
While Studio Saturday has no specific focus per se, you’re bound to find adorable designs here that’ll make you say “Take my money already”. We’re liking the collection of bright enamel pins in designs like cats, seashells, unicorns and ice creams. But then again, we adore Studio Saturday’s chic threader earrings too. Notice our dilemma? You’d likely find our team stuck at this stall, deciding between a rose gold or rainbow metal straw. Good thing the Studio Saturday team will be available for some on-the-spot advice. 😉
Stalk them: Studio Saturday
Their bestseller: Unicorn enamel pins because what’s there not to like?
How much moolah to shell out: RM27-RM45
5. LegendAge
Image Credit: LegendAge
LegendAge might be one of the stalls that you’d easily look past, especially if you’re not on the lookout for lip products specifically. We’d recommend a quick stopover for one product in particular: the Healthy Cherry Lipstick. The clear lipbalm comes in a chic black packaging and it’s essentially a 4-in-1 lipbalm with beeswax, West Indian cherry extract and vitamin E oil. The magic ingredient is the cherry extract which can cause one’s lip colour to change depending on skin temperature, blood circulation and pH value. You’ll achieve a darker red colour if your body is naturally more acidic. Meanwhile, those with a predominantly alkaline system will achieve a pink shade instead.
Stalk them: LegendAge
Their bestseller: Healthy Cherry Lipstick
How much moolah to shell out: RM85-RM100
6. Pott Glasses
Image Credit: Pott Glasses
While you’re less likely to pick up a pair of prescription glasses at a pop-up market, it shouldn’t stop you from having a look-see at Pott Glasses. Made with an Asian fit, Pott Glasses takes into account the symmetry of the Asian facial structure when crafting their glasses. This results in chic eyewear that will up your fashion game (and correct your eyesight at the same time, of course).
Stalk them: Pott Glasses
Their bestseller: Oliver glasses
How much moolah to shell out: RM295 (quite a fair bit to spend at a pop-up market, but it’s a worthy investment)
7. Pastry Delight
Image Credit: Pastry Delight
You’d be forgiven if you waltzed up to this stall with the hopes of filling your tummy. From afar, you might just think that Pastry Delight’s offerings are edible—what with their brand name as well. What you’d find instead is an array of bath and body products and soy wax candles. There’s even a soy candle called Goodbye Insects, which is meant to ward off pesky insects when it has been lit.
Stalk them: Pastry Delight
Their bestseller: Breast milk soaps in cupcake designs.
How much moolah to shell out: RM25-RM106
8. Just Plant My
Image Credit: Just Plant My
It’s honestly not difficult to hunt down succulent suppliers these days but if you’re looking to bring home a small plant from Artbox, Just Plant My has quite a huge variety for you to pick from. All equally as adorable, it’ll definitely be hard to choose one that’s right. But fret not, the team is more than happy to give out some advice including which plant would likely require the least effort.
Stalk them: Just Plant My
Their bestseller: Echeveria Minima for its dreamy pastel blue-green shade.
How much moolah to shell out: RM5-RM35
9. Moonset Official Bag
Image Credit: Moonset Official Bag
News flash, fanny packs are in again. Thai fashion store Moonset Co. makes it chic with its minimalist appearance and durable design. Most of Moonset’s designs are waterproof and come with adjustable straps so you can adjust the length to your liking. What’s more, they’re ideal and fuss-free bags for events just like Artbox.
Stalk them: Moonset Official Bag
Their bestseller: Waist Bags
How much moolah to shell out: RM32-RM62
10. Cakerholic
Image Credit: Cakerholic
Cakerholic is perhaps the first to come up with a bakwa and floss cake. Now while we’re still uncertain whether we’d find the famous cake at Artbox Malaysia, chances are, we might just be able to sample their signature cake bombs instead. These sinful treats are fried dough batters covered in sweet toppings. They’re also famous for the aptly-named “Da Bomb” dessert—a doughnut cake which is small and easy to consume while on-the-go.
Stalk them: Cakerholic
Their bestseller: Da Bomb, ’nuff said.
How much moolah to shell out: RM10-RM20
11. MERIN’S

A whole jar of bite-sized meringues is dangerous to have around as they are addictive and you won’t realise how much you’ve had until the entire jar’s gone. Whoops. MERIN’S version comes without any colouring, preservative or artificial colours. Flavours include Earl Grey, Lemon Lavender, Lime Coconut, Rosewater and Popcorn.
Stalk them: MERIN’S
Their bestseller: Earl Grey Meringues
How much moolah to shell out: RM30
12. Coaster Ice Cream
Image Credit: Coaster Ice Cream
Coaster Ice Cream describes themselves as a provider of rich, natural and exotic ice cream. We’d let you be the judge of that. 😉 Some of the flavours that have got us intrigued are the Gula Melaka Pandan, Coconut Pandan, Pear Raspberry and Charcoal & Lemon. Nothing like some rich ice cream to tide you over as you take a stroll through Artbox Malaysia.
Stalk them: Coaster Ice Cream
Their bestseller: Charcoal-and-lemon flavoured ice-cream

There's An Upcoming Pop-Up Café In KL With Japanese Maids & Butlers!

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to experience being a part of the anime world? Well, I guess your chance to live it out is finally here.
Aka Café in Taman Danau Desa will be organising a pop-up café with Japanese maids and butlers. They will be serving their goshuujin-sama and ojou-sama (masters and mistresses) during the 2-day event and it’s an experience like no other.

La Petite Fox is a fox-themed maid and butler popup café event.

Originating from Japan, this cosplay cafe and subculture has been adapted by many countries, and Malaysia is where it is finally gaining its popularity.
This time around, La Petite Fox has teamed up with Aka Café to organise this unique event. The maids and butlers will be cosplaying and they’ll be all dressed and dolled up in their anime-esque costumes.
Meals-wise, the foxes (which is what the maids and butlers are called) will be serving up 3 different Kitsune (Japanese for fox) set meals in three variations. It’s inclusive of a drink and a free game.
However, if you’re up for regular AKA Café specialties, check out our recent review here to help you decide on what dish to have!
Besides operating like a regular café, there will also be ongoing games throughout the 2 days.

The foxes and visiting patrons are able to bond through a Do The Dare game. Although there is a strict “no contact” policy between both parties, patrons who draw a “touch fox’s ears” card from the game will get to do just that.

Game sessions are priced at RM5-RM15 and if you win one of them, you will be able to claim your “prize” of a service from the foxes. Services include being Spoonfed 3x, Moe Kotoba (where your favourite fox will whisper something into your ears) or Kabedon (where you’ll be cornered at a wall by your favourite fox).
Do note that these services are only available, subject to the maid and butler’s willingness to participate, as some of them can be quite shy. 😉
La Petite Fox x AKA Café
Hours: 12pm-9pm
Date: August 25-26, 2018
Venue: AKA Café KL, No 21-1, Jalan 109F, Plaza Danau 2, Taman Danau Desa

These Dreamy Unicorn Soft Serves In KL Are Far Too Pretty To Eat!

The soft serve craze continues with wildly popular soft serve outlet Urban Artisan opening its doors in the heart of KL.
It first marked its beginnings in Penang, with 2 branches opened within the picturesque island.
Its next destination was Johor Bahru and now, Urban Artisan has officially launched their latest outlet in Klang Valley, much to the excitement of KL-ites.

What makes Urban Artisan stand out amongst the sea of dessert houses in the city centre is its jaw dropping soft serves which are far too pretty to eat!
Most come in soft pastel shades that are soft, dreamy and unicorn-like.
Others are bold like dark magentas and metallic greys. Either way, they are truly a sight to behold and definitely worth a picture.

Flavour variants are seasonal but fret not, your favourite flavour might make a reappearance considering how there are so many ways that 2 flavours can be combined together.
Some of the past flavours to whet your appetite are Green Tea X Lychee, French Valrhona Cocoa X Oceanic Sea Salt, Salted Golden Egg Yolk X Coal Black Thai Coconut and Hokkaido Lavender X British Earl Grey Tea.
Opt to top your soft serve with popcorns, pretzels, biscuit bits or chocolate for an added texture to each bite.
Prices at Urban Artisan start at RM11.90 but perhaps one cone won’t be enough. And when that happens, you could always order up some of Urban Artisan’s other offerings, including yoghurts and waffles.

Urban Artisan KL
Hours: Sundays-Thursdays: 12pm-10pm, Fridays-Saturdays: 12pm-11pm
Address: 149, Jalan Petaling Street, Kuala Lumpur

Popular London Restaurant "Burger and Lobster" Opens Their First Outlet In Genting

London’s Burger and Lobster is coming to Malaysia in December! If you didn’t already know what this restaurant is all about, it is actually one of London’s most popular restaurants. It is also considered as one of the restaurants listed in the Michelin Top UK Pub Guide.
Image Credit: Gourmet Gorro
The restaurant was first started by 4 fast friends in Moscow, when they were drinking wine on a rooftop. They wanted to create a restaurant which incorporates 2 dishes only, and they chose burger and lobster as the menu staple for their eatery.
Image Credit: Standard.co.uk
The first Malaysian branch of this restaurant will be located at Sky Avenue Resorts World Genting, next to the First World Hotel. When it comes to their signature dishes, definitely the steamed or grilled lobster should be on your table.
Some have mentioned that getting a seat in this restaurant in London, would require hour-long waits. By Malaysian standards, any outlet which has a queue determines how popular it is, and judging from the London queues, Burger and Lobster is certainly a place loved by many.
Image Credit: KualaLumpur.ws
What makes it all the more exciting is the fact that Malaysia is actually the first country in South East Asia to have a Burger and Lobster outlet! Hence, get ready to plan a roadtrip this December and head on down to Genting to sample some lovely burgers and lobsters.

Here’s Pulled Beef Yee Sang And Niu Year Set Meals To Feed 2-10 People This V-Day Or CNY!

Born in a homely little family kitchen in Ipoh, Maria’s SteakCafe now has 5 outlets, including a new flagship in Suria KLCC.
We got to sample parts of their menu, which you can order either in sets for 2 for Valentine’s Day, or a family style feast for CNY.
How they looked when they arrived, before replating
Pulled Beef Yee Sang: So we’ve had a lot of variations of yee sangs before, but having beef is definitely a first. Sarah and VX both prefer fruit based yee sangs, but this was an interesting take, and the beef itself was very tender and tasty, as expected from a store that specialises in steak. Maria’s SteakCafe told us that the beef has been braised for over 8 hours.

While there are some crispy cracker toppings, most of the actual crunch in this yee sang comes from the fresh vegetables instead. There’s even corn and cherry tomatoes in this, which are less common ingredients.

If your family prefers a less sweet and healthy version of a yee sang, and they eat beef, this is a pretty good contender. But for those who don’t really like their greens and fibre (*cough* Sarah), then this one might taste a little too healthy, haha.
For family members who don’t eat beef, you can opt for the smoked salmon yee sang instead.
Spicy Mussels: These are tender, juicy, and fresh, but be ready for a spicy kick. VX actually found this too spicy for taste and scraped off some of the sauce to enjoy the mussels on their own.

Sarah’s other half however thought that the spice was just right and enjoyed it very much (in other words, he finished everything and Sarah didn’t get a bite).
Caesar Salad: The sauce is thick and what we liked is that it isn’t too overpowering and doesn’t drown the vegetables. The croutons and cheese added a nice crunch and saltiness.

Mushroom Soup: Well-flavoured and easy to drink, but Sarah had hers late due to her delivery location (not the restaurant’s fault, she lives far in Putrajaya), and unfortunately by then, the texture became a bit thick and goopy. Do eat this on time as soon as you get it, don’t let it sit out, even if it’s for photos. Alternatively, warm it up nicely so that the heat helps to reset its texture.
New Zealand Lamb Cutlets: The lamb is tender, well-seasoned and cooked just right. What we liked was the mint sauce, which packs a strong and fresh sour punch that really enhances the meat’s flavour. We could have easily eaten 3 more!

Aus Hereford Rib Eye: We requested for this steak to be cooked medium rare and Maria’s SteakCafe did that perfectly. The inside was nice, pink with a slightly red centre and it was really juicy. The meat was seasoned well too.

This is another thing that you shouldn’t wait to consume. Or you can also heat it up by searing it on a smoking hot pan (smoke should be visible with the oil in the pan) for 30 seconds on each side.
Moist Chocolate Loaf Cake: Covered with a thick oozy chocolate, we actually found ourselves wishing for even more of the chocolate drizzle on top. Without it, the rest of the cake can be a little dry, so do help yourself to extra lashings of chocolate if you’re cutting yourself a slice 😉 Or, here’s a tip, heat your slice up in the microwave for just a few seconds, the warmth will help moisten it back up.
Do note that we only sampled parts of their menu, there are a lot more options available in various combos that you can check out.

The CNY sets are available until the 26th of February and start at RM538 for 4-6 pax. This includes the Yee Sang, which you can also get on its own (RM68 for medium, 4-6 pax; RM98 for large, 8-10 pax).
For anyone not having a family dinner and it’s just you and your partner this Chinese New Year, the Valentine’s Day set for 2 pax (RM200++) comes with a 4-course home delivery menu and is available until the 21st of February.
Order delivery on Beepit or find the individual contact details for the outlets here.

8 Soft Shell Crab Pasta Dishes In KL That'll Cheer You Up From Any "Crabby" Day

With all the diet fads out there, here’s one to avoid: the low-“crabohydrate” (pun intended) diet. There should be no reason to not enjoy seafood unless you have a deathly allergy to it.
Here are 8 places in Klang Valley to get “pincers-deep” in some of the best soft shell crab pasta dishes!
1. Frisson Coffee Bar

Frisson has been known to create quirky dishes which quickly become their bestsellers. Their Waffle Burger and Doughnut Burger dishes are excellent examples. While they do have delectable sweet treats like their waffles and ice cream, milkshakes and pancakes, they also have their fair share of delicious savoury treats. Their Salted Egg Soft Shell crab pasta is one of their highlights of their newly-released menu! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, this deep fried soft shell crab makes the perfect combination with their pasta done al dente. Check out their new menu and promotions on their Facebook page.

2. Naj & Belle

Mention Naj & Belle and we’ll all think of their refreshing watermelon cake and fluffy pavlovas. But did you know that they also serve HUGE Soft Shell Crab Pastas here? Their Soft Shell Crab Linguini is an Asian-style carbonara with curry leaves and birds eye chili. The milky goodness and fiery spices are balanced out like all good things in life. Fancy something more local? Opt for their Nasi Daun Pisang that consists of grilled banana leaf turmeric rice with barramundi fish sambal, grilled stuffed squid, crispy soft shell crab and acar.

We cannot express how much of a fan we are of Ben’s food menus! In addition to their awesome Buttermilk Chicken, they also have have a Golden Soft Shell Crab Spaghettini. It features a deep fried soft shell crab perched on a delicious mountain of pasta surrounded by a rich gravy of curry leaves, chili padi, creamy parmesan with evaporated milk sauce. In addition to that, Ben’s KLCC is also now open from 8am onwards with a brand new morning menu from RM35++. Talk about being the perfect morning pick me up and #lunchsituation!

Now this is a place to have fun at, especially for the ladies. Upon googling up Blackbird KL, we noticed that their Soft Shell Crab Pasta was highly recommended by patrons. Citing its milky delicious gravy and perfectly fried crab, it seems to have won a few hearts. Plus, on Thursdays ladies will be treated to free fancy garnished cocktails too! What say you make a date with your girlfriends for a crabby but not crappy dinner date at Blackbird KL? Then, finish the night with some delicious cocktails.

The crispy golden deep fried Salted Egg Soft Shell Crab Pasta by Chequers is sure to win the hearts of Salted Egg lovers! Located in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Chequers is all about savoury waffles and comfort food! With premium local and Halal ingredients, they serve handmade waffles and American meals in a fun and whimsical atmosphere. We like how huge Chequers’ soft shell crab is, in comparison to the pasta. Now that’s definitely a good ratio of pasta to soft shell crab, because we all know how it totally sucks to only be served soft shell crab bits the size of your finger, alongside a mountain of pasta.

In addition to that, they also have a Dukkah Crusted Chicken dish, which is a tender chicken breast marinated in dukkah spices, a side of sauteed potatoes and pumpkin as well as mashed green peas. If you’d like something more familiar, they also have a wide array of burgers and sandwiches.

Taking a breather from the train of milky fried crab pastas is Basil Pasta House with their Spaghetti Arrabbiata Style Crispy Soft Shell Crab. Aptly named the “angry pasta”, it consists of dried chili, assorted field mushrooms, seasonal vegetable cherry tomatoes, parmesan cheese, tomato concasse and lemon oil beneath the coveted crispy soft shell crab. For those who cannot handle their spice, they also have an equally as delicious Spaghetti & Crispy Squid Chinese Golden “Mac & Cheese” ironically served on a bed of pasta.

Here we have their deep fried soft shell crab gracefully enthroned on a mount of salted egg pasta. They also have a very unique Stingray Pasta which is seasonal (be sure to check their Facebook page to be in the know). Wash down your milky meal with their interesting mocktails and finish it off with delightful desserts such as their pancakes, sizzling brownies or pavlovas!

No Money, No Problem: 10 FREE Things You Can Do Around Klang Valley

Let’s be real: KL is a very pricey place to live in.
The malls are all almost equipped with sophisticated brands. Theme parks like Sunway Lagoon are capable of taking out one week’s worth of savings for just a couple of hours of fun.
But, if you look hard enough, there are fun things and activities you can partake in around Klang Valley for cheap, and even free. Here are 10 things you can do around Klang Valley for absolutely free.
1. Take part in IAMM’s weekend workshop.

Sometimes, you just want some alone time with the spouse but you have kids and you don’t want to leave them alone. Well, Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia organises a free storytelling and art & craft session every Saturday and Sunday for children between 4 and 12 years old. You get to hit two birds with one stone: alone time with the love of your life as you visit the arts museum, and your kids get to unleash their artistic creativity as well.
2. Pack a sandwich and picnic at KLCC Park.

KLCC Park is one of the best places to hang out in Klang Valley—you get to see the gigantic Petronas Twin Towers up close, the environment is clean, the air is fresh, and the space is vast (just try not to sprain your neck when you crane to look at the towers). It is great for a family picnic, and you even have access to the only free water park in this country. Your children can also have their shrieks and giggles at the playground.
3. Learn about the pewter-making process at RSVC.

Royal Selangor is a pewter-making organisation which has been making quite a name of itself for its creative arts and craft that cannot be found anywhere else. For one, it is perhaps the only place you can find Star Wars, Marvel, and Batman pewter craft figurines in Malaysia. If you are interested in more of their rarer crafts, you can pay a visit to the Royal Selangor Visitor Center, where you can learn about the organisation’s history as well as the process of pewter making.
4. Climb all 272 steps up Batu Caves temple.

Otherwise known as the Limestone Caves, it is one of the landmarks in Malaysia that is a must-see for tourists. And the 272-step staircase would perhaps suffice for a week’s worth of gym sessions too. While it is free, you ought to have the courtesy of wearing a modest outfit when you’re there, as it is a religious site. If you don’t have one at hand, you can pay a small fee to borrow a waist wrap.
5. Read a book at the National Library of Malaysia.

This library’s roof design is meant to resemble the tengkolok and embedded on the roofs are also the traditional songket designs. Obviously, this building is already reflecting the Malaysian culture without even needing us to step inside. If you are a bookworm and you are interested in learning more about the local culture, drop by this place for free and have look at their books!
6. Put on your sneakers and visit the KL Forest Eco Park.

They say that spending time looking at greenery and nature can help in healing our soul. Not sure if that’s true, but the KL Forest Eco Park sure is teeming with green. It is the only virgin tropical rain forest in Klang Valley and serves as a respite from the noisiness that makes up the city.
7. Enjoy the cultural performances at Central Market.

Every Saturday at 8pm, Central Market organises a cultural performance at the outdoor stage for spectators and visitors. You don’t have to worry about entrance fees because it is absolutely free of charge. And you also don’t have to worry about watching the same performance every week, because Malaysia is nothing if not full of different cultures, so you can be assured that the performances will vary.
8. Observe works of art at the Petronas Art Gallery.

Who would have thought that an oil and gas company would venture into the arts world? But here we are. Located at the base of the Petronas Twin Towers, the objective of this gallery is to promote and preserve local art pieces. They have several themes going on in their gallery, such as the Nusantara Journey, Daerah Samad, 50 Ways to Live in Malaysia, and Building Merdeka.
9. Grab your bike and take part in Publika’s “Wheelie Sundays”.

Every Sunday, you will find that the inner roads of Publika are closed from the public between 7am and 10am. This is to ensure safety for Wheelie Sundays, where everyone can cycle, skate, and jog safely throughout the inner roads without worrying about getting run over.
10. Watch Frisky Rooftop Bar’s “Movie Under the Stars”.

Frisky Rooftop Bar has been organising movie nights at the rooftop every Thursday for a while now, dubbing it ‘Movie Under the Stars’. And instead of playing the usual mainstream movies found in the commonplace cineplexes, they screen independent international movies, offering a new experience in movie watching without the whole shebang that comes with mainstream films.

There is no dress code for the event, but weather could get slightly chilly as you are after all a good distance above from the ground. Hence, it is better to bring a jacket along. If you’re not planning to do so, fret not for HeliPad Cinema does provide blankets that you could cuddle in!

The event admits those 18 year old and above and seating for the event will be allocated. If you attend the HeliPad Cinema in a big group, it is better to visit earlier to ensure your group gets to sit together.
