Can You Afford To Eat These RM800+ Japanese Omakase Meals In KL?

Earlier today, PM Najib spoke at a forum in the UKM Medical Centre.
According to The Malay Mail Online, he mentioned that we should be wise in making lifestyle choices and live within our means.
He also elaborated that folks are heading to Japanese restaurants in expensive hotels for meals where they would have to fork out between RM800-RM1000 for said meals.
Now while Japanese fare might be on the pricier end of the spectrum in terms of dining experiences, most wouldn’t be priced quite as extravagantly. Still, there are places where you could hunt down meals within that price range.

So, the next time you’re looking to live it up well above your means or perhaps just treat yourself to an atas meal for a celebration or just because, here’re 3 Japanese restaurants that you can visit:
1. Taka By Sushi Saito
Taka By Sushi Saito has an interior that screams class and it’s clear as to why meals here are priced at a premium rate. You get exactly what you pay for in terms of meals and the ambiance in which you enjoy them.

Choose to dine by the counter, private room or VIP room and indulge your senses with omakase meals consisting of 5 appetisers, 1 grilled fish, 10 sushis and 1 sushi roll. This comes up to a grand total of RM1,400.

Arguably one of the pricier sushi and Japanese dining experiences in KL, the sushi omakase menu is priced at RM800+ and it consists of an appetiser, sashimi, 10 pieces of sushi, a maki sushi, soup and dessert.
Like any omakase menu, the exact dishes are determined by the chef and you wouldn’t know what you’re having until it is served.

Famed for being one of the top Japanese fine dining spots in KL, it’s no secret that meals come with a steeper price tag. There’s the Hibiki set which is the chef’s selection of 10 kinds of premium sashimi. This set will set you back by RM965.
Then, there’s the Kagami Kaiseki set. The premium omakase course costs RM960+ and it comes with the chef’s selected seasonal ingredients. Like most multi-course sets, it ranges from appetisers to desserts. Do note that the Kagami Kaiseki set must be pre-ordered 5 days in advance prior to dining at the restaurant.

And, if you’re looking to live within your means, there’s the Fubuki (Snow Storm) set which is just RM780.

Pretty Desserts Are The Real Works Of Art At This PJ Café Meets Art Gallery

What’s the difference between beautiful food and works of art?
For Joshua Tan Yi-Shaun, probably none, as beautiful food is art.
Image Credit: Potter’s Café
And that’s what you’ll get at the 22-year-old art collector’s new café meets art gallery in PJ—beautiful food and works of art.
Walking into Potter’s Café, you’d find stunning art pieces adorning the walls, making for the perfect segue into the desserts and coffees that are pretty enough on its own, even without any coffee art.
Image Credit: Potter’s Café
One can easily tell that the food here has not been rushed and have been worked at lovingly.
You’ll see it in the way each slice of orange is carefully placed on a blanket of pure white cream or how the largest fresh strawberries are plopped onto a chocolate cake.

Image Credit: Potter’s Café
As we savour meals with our eyes first, it makes perfect sense then that Potter’s Café takes the time to create beautiful food that the camera, in return, would love.
Image Credit: Potter’s Café
The same can be said for the coffees which are served in white cups reminiscent of what you’d find at an English tea house.
And after you’re done feeding your body with the numerous types of cakes and drinks served here, you can then feed your soul with the pieces of art collected by Joshua and his mom.
In fact, in an article by The Sun Daily, Joshua shared that his favourite works are abstract ones, so that’s what you’d find most at the art gallery.
Image Credit: Potter’s Café
Take the time to expand your knowledge on art and leave, having known that your mind has been enriched in one way or another.
For those who have always wanted to pay an art gallery a visit, they can opt to drop by Potter’s Café in PJ.
Image Credit: Potter’s Café
And if you’re lost as to what to order, the personal recommendation by the folks of the café itself, is the Lavender Earl Grey Latte—served in, of course, the most beautiful cup that’s pretty much a work of art on its own.

We Check Out This Totoro-Themed Café To See If It's "Totoro-lly" Worth Going To

While Peekaboo Café might not exactly be a hidden coffee place per se, we did drive past it the first time.
Unaware that it’s located on the 2nd floor of the Jalan Jalil Perkasa 13 shophouses, we missed it.
But if you were to look closely, a Totoro will greet you, albeit a slightly puzzled-looking one.

Take the steps up to the 2nd floor and you would find a large Totoro mural.
Cosy up right next to it and snap a picture here as this is one of the more iconic places to take a selfie at in Peekaboo, whether you’re about to leave or enter.

Located right next to a park, this Bukit Jalil café has a friendly neighbourhood vibe and parking shouldn’t be a problem, especially on weeknights.

And upon entering, you would find a whole collection of Totoro figurines and plush toys adorning every corner of the space. Some might find it to be a little too much but true Totoro fans will feel right at home.

Amongst the plush toys of every shape and size, we found our favourite in a Totoro-shaped pillow of the grey character munching away on a slice of watermelon.

During our recent review at Peekaboo, we were joined by readers, Jymix and Shi Yuan.

The siblings are students majoring in Accounting & Finance and Advertising respectively and the younger of the pair, Shi Yuan, was coincidentally back for the week.
Shi Yuan is currently out of state and pursuing her studies elsewhere. When asked if catchup sessions are rare among the 24 and 22-year-old, they laughed and nodded yes.
In fact, it has been a while since the pair had hung out at a café together and today was the perfect opportunity to do so, what more since they live within the Bukit Jalil area.

Tucking into our first meal of the evening, both sisters gave the dish a thumbs up.
The Smoked Salmon Croissant (RM25) is a freshly-baked croissant paired with smoked salmon, green coral lettuce, tomatoes, thousand island sauce, wedges and an herbs salad.
We enjoyed how the croissant bread wasn’t too buttery or rich as the dish is a carb-heavy one. As for the wedges, they were soft and mushy but not at all oily. Also, the fact that they are smaller than typical large wedges made eating the bite-sized pieces a lot easier. There isn’t much to fault with the Smoked Salmon Croissant and although it is a simple dish, it’s done well.

Next came Peekaboo’s house specialty: the Three Cup Chicken Pasta (RM25).
Comprising of a marinated chicken thigh, garlic, chilli, shemeji mushrooms, cooking wine, herbs and the chef’s special 3 cup sauce, this is an aromatic platter.
It’s easy to tell why the Three Cup Chicken Pasta is the restaurant’s bestseller just from the scent wafting from the plate alone.
Steeped in fragrant cooking wine, the noodles are al dente and the chicken, tender. Shi Yuan noted that older folks who are not quite accustomed to having Western dishes as a meal, could then opt for this dish as although it’s a pasta, it’s very much an Asian recipe—basically, Western yee mee.

The Grilled Chicken Chop (RM28) is a marinated chicken thigh cooked in the chef’s secret recipe, cooking wine, steamed egg, an herbs salad and french fries.
This was a bit of a letdown, especially as we did enjoy the previous 2 platters.
Jymix pointed out that the egg and chicken does not gel as well together and though we had high hopes for the grilled chicken chop, the fact that it was slightly bland and lacked of sauce was a bit disappointing.

We moved on to the desserts next and had the Matcha Coffee Latte Waffle which came with a side of matcha and cream sauces.
Do pour this sparingly as the sauce is of the runny sort and just a little would do the trick. The waffle has a soft, slightly cake-y texture and Shi Yuan shared that it tasted more like a waffle kuih, rather than a crispy dessert.
If you enjoy your waffles soft, you would like this. As both Shi Yuan and Jymix preferred crispy waffles, this was a bit of a letdown for ’em but personally for me, I found the taste to be unique and sponge-y.

Our final dessert was the Earl Grey Latte Waffles. While paired with the same soft waffles, the sorbet-like Earl Grey Latte ice cream was refreshing, especially as mint is added into the dessert. This helped to cut through the richness of the thick cream that the waffles is served with.
Shi Yuan gave this platter a thumbs up as she particularly enjoyed the thick cream. She laughed as she shared that she once downed a whole tub of cream and it didn’t come as a surprise that she finished every last bit of it on the plate.

Luxurious Living In The Banjaran Hotsprings Retreat @ Ipoh (September 2020)

Nestled among limestone hills, The Banjaran Hotsprings Retreat marries luxury, wellness, and a good hearty dose of nature.
We were originally only going to stay for a night, and before we left, one of the things we were most grateful for was that we decided to top it up to 2 nights. A day’s stay wouldn’t have been close to adequate to experience everything that this resort has to offer.
Peace, quiet and beautiful tranquility at The Banjaran Hotsprings Retreat
Before we arrived, we were told that the resort was at a full capacity. However, we really didn’t feel as if that was the case. The space is so well-planned. Because each villa has a private hot spring and pool (even the Lake Villas, which are the smaller sized villas), we think many guests chose to spend most of their time inside too.
A view of our bedEnjoying ourselves in our private pool in our villaSome of the villas face beautiful lily ponds
We did see other guests as we wandered about and at meals, but it really didn’t feel as if the place was full or crowded. Far from it. In fact, it was just tranquility, quiet, and a wonderful place to be alone in your thoughts, or to enjoy the time with your travel companion.
Speaking of travel buddies, the Banjaran Hotsprings Retreat is only open to adults and children above the age of 12, and we can see why. In their quest to preserve as much of the natural area as possible, there are several geothermal pools, some without prominent railings surrounding them. These can have temperatures over what is safe for bathing. They are clearly marked BUT we can imagine a younger child ignoring such signs, and heading into danger.
One of the gorgeous geothermal pools (that is incidentally marked as not safe for bathing in)
We actually idled away more time in the hot tub in our room, with the waters that are pumped fresh daily from the lake, than at the more public dipping pools. Of course, at those famous dipping pools, you have a view of the whole lake, surrounding mountains, and lush greenery. That’s the money shot.
Having a bit too much fun in the dipping pool.
In between working at the calm and peaceful Pomelo restaurant, we visited the Steam Cave, a sauna-like environment surrounded by steam and natural rocks within a cave, and the Crystal Cave, where you can bask or meditate surrounded by beautiful crystals and a soothing scent (and air-conditioning!). There’s also a fish pool where little fishies will nibble away at the dead skin on your feet.
The Crystal Cave, where you can sit and meditatePosing by the rocks next to the outdoor poolFancy a stroll up to the Sky Bar?This is the night view you get at the elevated Sky BarHave a chat with your friendly bartender to find out the selection of drinks on offer at the Sky Bar
We were fortunate to get an aromatherapy experience (RM450), which is a 1-hour tension-relieving massage treatment. Sarah, a veteran of many massages, rated it as one of the best that she’s had. Still, that price is very steep so if you’re planning to get that full spa experience, remember to consider this into your travelling budget.
Ready for a full spa experience?
We can’t talk about the resort without highlighting one thing that really stood out to us: the exemplary service. From the greeting of the porter as soon as we’re parked, to the personalised chocolate dessert Executive Chef Boon Lee spent hours making to welcome us, to the polite and kind staff who we bumped into, we cannot emphasise enough how well-spoken and genuine they are about wanting to make the stay a memorable one for us.
Did not expect to find a personalised chocolate dessert in our room, haha
It’s also in things like the little touches. For instance, one of the fun side quests you can do is hunt down the Sweet Spot hidden away in the resort. Once you find it, you get to reward yourself with a complimentary cold drink or ice cream! Or the 6 types of pillows that you can choose from to customise your sleeping experience.
L: Feeding the fishes; R: We found the Sweet Spot!
There are buggies to ferry you between your villa and anywhere you want to go in the resort, but really, we highly recommend taking the time to stroll around. A lot of thought and care was put into preserving and maintaining the greenery.
Really saves you a LOT of walking
We can’t help but marvel over how everything is a sight for sore eyes. There are also large, strategically placed fans, that provide a constant breeze. It makes a big difference, especially on a humid day. Since we’re both animal lovers, we had a lot of fun spotting the fauna that share the space with us.
When leaving, we calculated the estimated cost of our stay, including the meals (plus the mooncakes, candlelight set dinner at Pomelo, and fancy dinner at Jeff’s Cellar for 2 pax) and the massage—it was sitting in the RM6,000-RM6,500 range.

Is it something we’d be able to go to regularly? Hard no. But is it something we’d perhaps like to save up to return to yearly? Yes. And we can easily control the cost better by mixing some of our meals up by heading out to the Tambun town nearby too.

This KL Spa Lets Us Experience Zero Gravity While Floating In An Epsom Salt-Filled Pod

How often would you hear someone say, “Go float yourself” as a form of stress relief? Well, chances are, not often enough. The term ‘floating therapy’ sounds cool but wait till you hear what it’s actually all about.
In a Facebook post, the founders of ZeroGravity Float Centre mentioned that the first floating centre in KL came about after they were inspired by the Theta State float centre in Bangkok.
“My life was never the same again. Right after I had my first float, I was lucky enough to have experienced what people in the float industry calls a ‘post-float glow’. I felt super calm, so relaxed and as if all the weight was taken off me and nothing could ruin my day,” the post read.
Image Credit: @kidslife, @timeoutkl
And that’s how the idea came about to replicate floating therapy for KL-ites who are clearly a highly stressed out bunch too.
ZeroGravity Float Centre offers floating therapy where you’d find yourself floating in pods for a predetermined amount of time—typically 30 minutes to an hour. Each of these pods, called the Dreampods, are filled with a whopping amount of 500kgs of Epsom salt.

Float on your back (or whichever way floats your boat) in the water which is made highly buoyant through the concentration of Epsom salt.

The floating experience is unique to each floater. “Whether you prefer to float with the lights on, leave the pod cover open or even float in your birthday suit, it’s okay! Everyone is different and we don’t judge. Life is stressful enough with the media constantly telling us what we should or should not do. So give yourself a big treat, take some time out, have a break and float exactly the way you want it. Because you deserve it. Because that’s true relaxation,” the team mentioned in a Facebook post.
After you’ve completed your Floating Therapy session, head on over to enjoy some of the grooming products provided by the centre. There’s a selection of tea available too because the folks at ZeroGravity believe that health and wellness includes treating the mind as well. And what better way to do that than with a warm mug of tea?
Each of the Dreampods at the centre are well-maintained with a big filtration machine behind each pod for auto-cleaning. The rest of the pod maintainance? It falls on pure human labour.
Image Credit: ZeroGravity Float
Each day, the pods are wiped down and the pH and gravity levels of the Epsom salt water are checked to ensure that everything is in tip top condition. Oh, and for added measure, the pods are given a big hug from the team too.
The benefits of floating includes the experiencing of a post-float glow, better sleep, better blood circulation, a reduction in blood pressure, an improved immune system and reduction in stress hormones. As the experience is unique to each floater, the effects may differ from person to person.
What each floater would no doubt feel during each session though, is an overwhelming sense of peace as they sway gently back and forth in the water.
While you’re there, opt for the sensory deprivation float, where, like its name suggests, the lights and music will be turned off and you’ll find that it’s just you, floating without a care in the world. And that sounds like a pretty good float to me. 😉

Sky dining is never not romantic. “Hanging” midair and getting to enjoy classy food while also having a view of the majestic Twin Towers, what is not romantic about it?

Yes, another French restaurant, because you have to admit, the French knows their sh*t. Maison Française, translated, is ‘French House’.

Shangri-La Hotel is a 5-star classy hotel that everyone loves and hates – love because it’s beautiful and comfortable and it’s Shangri-La; hate because as much as it’s romantic, it’s also on the pricier end. However, you have to admit that even if you are the most unromantic and distant person, you’d still jump at a chance for a romantic dinner at Lafite in Shangri-La.
Lafite
Hours: Monday-Friday: 12pm-2.30pm, Monday-Sunday: 7pm-10.30pm.

Rococo prides itself on the romantic atmosphere it gives off, from the appetising smell of bread from the basket to music from the likes of Ferruccio Laviani.

Get Ready For The Biggest Water Balloon War In KL At The Roof's Songkran Sky Festival

When one thinks of the word “Songkran”, they would probably be reminded of the popular Thailand water festival. Malaysia has its very own version of the Songkran festival and it will be held on a rooftop! The Songkran Sky Festival is pretty much a large, epic water balloon fight complete with a section to barbeque and a place to participate in beer pong.
Image Credit: Stratosphere at The Roof
Remember to put your dancing shoes on as you dance to the likes of hip hop, reggae, funk, garage, deep/progressive house and EDM. There’ll be a lineup of 8 DJs and a percussionist too. On top of that, there’ll also be a booth where you can get some face painting done. Of course, what’s a party without some bubbly? Opt for the #WetWetWet Cocktail bucket of drinks with prices starting from RM25++.

This Is What An RM699 Multi-Sensory Fine Dining Experience Looks Like

A feast for the senses—when it comes to Whimsy, this is no mere understatement because essentially, that’s what you’d get.
Tucked away on the first floor of Block A4 in Publika lies the Whimsy popup dining experience. A partnership with Nathalie Gourmet Studio, Whimsy uses a state-of-the-art 360° projection technology known as projection mapping, resulting in a multi-sensory fine dining experience.

Projection mapping is a technology which allows the 4 walls and table surface at Whimsy to be transformed into a platform where different worlds can be projected.

It took an entire team of experts working tirelessly to create this visual and auditory experience.
And when it comes to food, it is left in the capable hands of award-winning chef Nathalie Arbefeuille and her team of culinary artistes.
Chef Nathalie herself was very hands on throughout the journey and in explaining each of the dish that she had meticulously prepared with her team.
On top of that, she was very accommodating too. Due to my own allergies to eggs, Chef Nathalie personally assured me that her dishes had minimal eggs in them and she would even replace one egg element with more jus.
Needless to say, this was a thoughtful gesture and it’s the sort of experience to expect of Whimsy.

The cinematic journey of gastronomy begun as soon as we entered through the doors, where we were ushered to the lobby of Nathalie Gourmet Studio for some dainty finger food.
This consisted of a Red Detox Juice made of beetroot, a soft Pomegranate Jelly, fresh Smoked salmon and Ginger—all of which tasted like the epitome of health.
Do arrive early and take the time to enjoy the finger food because once you’re done, you’d want to snap some celeb-inspired glam shots at the Whimsy photo booth.
After tucking into our finger food, we were led to a separate dining hall and were greeted by large projections of our name—both on the dining table and walls.

Diners were seated in a group of 10 for the 2-hour-long experience and though it wasn’t explicitly mentioned that you should make friends with your neighbours, we would encourage you to do so.
After all, food is best enjoyed with new companions. 😉

On top of the uber realistic visuals surrounding us, there was also an added cool touch where Daniella, Whimsy’s virtual host, guided her guests through the gastronomic journey.

There were 5 worlds in total throughout the experience and the first world’s called The Red Planet.
The entire space was transformed into a starry night, complete with shooting stars. We made use of the iPad placed in front of us (each guest receives one to use for the night) to view our horoscope reading. All we had to do was point the iPad camera at the projected space with our specific horoscope and the reading would appear. For instance, Virgos are modest and shy whilst Scorpios are determined and forceful.
The first starter of the evening’s a Tomato Mozzarella New Age made with Japanese momotaro tomatoes in three textures, rich basil pesto and mozzarella cream.
The tomato resembled a martian planet with a sparkly planet ring and there were even delicate grooves carved onto the surface of the momotaro tomato to mimic an actual planet.

Meanwhile, clouds surrounded us as we set sail into the next world called In The Woods.
With birds chirping in the distance and mushrooms popping up everywhere, we were served a dish that’s in line with the theme.
It’s a crispy foie gras, artichokes, porcinis, shaved truffles and a duck and truffle consommé.
The dish was presented in an artful manner and was almost reminiscent of a mini terrarium garden. complete with leaves as décor. The broth’s light but extremely flavourful and considering how the following dishes are heavier, this dish is just right.
We began to notice how the room had gotten slightly chilly and Chef Nathalie rushed in, urging her guests to break the ice.
We began knocking on the table gently, and that caused the ice to break as we slowly sunk to the bottom of the sea bed.

In the Under Water world, it felt like we were dining in a large aquarium with plenty of fishes, corals and reef around. The detail is amazing and we found ourselves looking around for Nemo and Dory though they were of course, nowhere to be found.
The 3rd starter consisted of Caramelized Hokkaido scallop, poached oyster and pearl cream, dieppoise sauce and mushroom mousseline.
What’s fun about this dish is how it’s presented.
We watched as virtual fairies lit a fire over a virtual BBQ stove and our virtual meal was subsequently prepared.

“Your little fairies have created your meal. You’re now in the middle of the ocean” Chef Nathalie mentioned when she presented her dish.
And boy have the fairies created a feast.
The seafood’s light and creamy—the sort that melts in the mouth. But the real star is the dieppoise sauce and mushroom mousseline which gave the fresh seafood added flavour.

When Chef Nathalie reappeared, we knew something was off.
“It’s gone really quiet in here,” she said and the Whimsy guests were encouraged to clap loudly, knock on the table and make lots of noise. This would of course reveal the 4th world: Circus.
We felt like kids again as we were transported to a night-time carnival, complete with fireworks going off in the background. It felt somewhat nostalgic as we watched the colourful merry-go-round spinning in the distance.
The main course is veal, saffron and capsicum jelly and ground sea influence.
The dish was extremely flavourful and the parsley chiffon stood out while the paella remained as the comforting element in the platter.
For non-beef eating guests, the main course can be switched to chicken with advance notice given at least 2 days prior to the experience.

As we arrived at the final part of our dinner session, we noticed lanterns flying in the night sky surrounding us.
Chef Nathalie told us that we could use the iPad to write our own well wishes as many times as we wished and they would be etched on the floating lanterns.
Sure enough, it did.

As we enjoyed the lantern-filled scenery, we tucked into the Make A Wish Perfect Apple dessert. It is a preserved lemon mousse, fennel, green apple and dill coulant, ivory cocoa crust and crumbles.

The dessert was a clever mix of sweet and sour, so whether you have a sweet tooth or prefer sour treats, you would enjoy the dish that Chef Nathalie has prepared. It’s inspired by Snow White too!
After savouring our dessert, host Daniella appeared one last time, accompanied by techno music. She encouraged all of her guests to get up and dance before an Exit To Reality sign appeared above the doors, signalling the end of the experience.
Where fine dining experiences go, Whimsy has set a bar that’s sky-high because in one night alone, you’d find yourself transported to 5 different worlds, each with its own sumptuous dish.
Personally, I’d find the RM699 price tag befitting, because behind the extraordinary performance lies a dedicated team of sound and light, as well as culinary experts.
Besides, where else would you find little fairies conjuring up a make-believe meal before a seafood feast is magically placed right before you? 😉

These 7 Amazing Houses In KL Are What Dreams Are Made Of

One of the biggest, seemingly unachievable dreams that the youth of today have is owning our own housing. The older generations might scratch their heads, wondering why having a house is such a big deal, but we all know that the escalating price tags on properties and the ever-decreasing value of the Malaysian Ringgit means that having a place to call our own seems more and more impossible everyday.
Visions of working 9-to-5 jobs for the rest of our lives before being able to afford housing plagues most of us, I’m sure. That might be a depressing and frustrating idea to some, but hey, one can always dream, right? The following residences are so beautiful and exquisitely designed that, hopefully, it could serve as a source of inspiration and motivation for us to achieve our own goals of being home-owners. Find out 7 of one of the most exquisite properties in KL below:
When industrial influences fuses with nature, Sri Hartamas

Light, open, and airy spaces seem to be the current trend in interior design, and this terrace house in Sri Hartamas exemplifies that to the fullest. Plenty of windows and skylights surrounding the house allow natural light to filter in, and industrial details like the perforated steel staircase, raw brick walls and cement columns add to the modern feel of the place. The property is dotted with lush greenery throughout, including within the indoor, open-air courtyard, to contrast the mostly black-and-white colour palette of the furnishings. The artful use of plants and trees as a privacy screen is also implemented, masking the open windows and glass of the house while also allowing fresh air to breeze in. The result is a breathtaking marriage of modernity with nature, and you would never have guessed that it was all fitted into a tiny terrace house!

Bright, youthful interiors in a small space, PJ
Image Credit: The Makeover Guys

This studio apartment in Latitud3, Jalan Universiti emanates youthful, minimalistic vibes perfect for those who want some flair in their homes. The grey-toned colours of the furniture and the wooden finishes would seem right at home at a modern-day ‘hipster’ café, which is what appeals to much of the youth of today. Seeing as the apartment is located nearby multiple universities in the area, it’s no wonder why the interior designers decided to furnish it as such. It even features a fold-in bed, so you can stow away your sheets and pillows to maximize space if needed. The proliferous natural light in combination with the bright interior results in an illusion of a much bigger space than it actually is, and it’s the perfect space for someone to chill out and relax in style.

Artistic loft for something new, Bukit Bintang

This Airbnb find, an expansive, airy loft in the heart of KL that can accommodate up to 8 people, is full of character to appease those of us who want to stay somewhere unique. Many of the furnishings used are recycled from previous usage, like the salvaged road signs hanging on the walls, chairs and beds made out of metal grid wiring, reclaimed louvre windows, sloping wood-panelled ceilings, steel stairs, and more. You’ll feel like you’ve travelled back in time upon visiting, because the old school furnishings exude a classic, old Malay feeling. The interesting wooden structures supporting the beds are a visual delight, and the motifs and paintings on the walls add personality to this property. All-in-all, this is a cool place to spend the night after a day of exploring the city.

Futuristic façade exuding modernity, KL

Fully covering your home in metal mesh might not sound ideal to some, but the privacy and uniqueness that it provides will appeal to others. This feat of architecture features a highly modern interior, with sleek wooden floors, distinctive shapes, and minimalist colours to provide a fresh atmosphere to its occupants, all hidden within it’s looming metal and concrete exterior. It also has a rooftop seating area with an immaculate view of the city, an indoor courtyard and fountain for some elements of nature, and a private swimming pool. Unlike some other houses on this list, this residence opts to keep their privacy intact, while also finding ways to bring in natural light and fresh air into the home. This is definitely the perfect place for those of you who want to keep your lives a little more hidden, both literally and figuratively.

When old meets new, PJ

This house, like many others on this list, was renovated and refurbished from its original state to create a more contemporary and upscale property, to attract the younger generation with trendy furnishings and modern finishes. The so-called Clay Roof House combines the old and the new to come up with a highly unique space, and the influences of past and present come together perfectly for this purpose. The old, decrepit house in the suburbs of Petaling Jaya has been converted into a vibrant family home, featuring recycled elements from previous properties, such as the carved wooden green doors within the premises, barren cement ceilings, and a suspended metal staircase. Not to forget the main attraction, the terracota roof tiles plucked from the building pre-renovation that are now used as an ‘animated’ swiveling sun shade on the façade of the house, to filter out sunlight during the day and provide privacy at night. A very unique house indeed.

Colourful furnishings to lighten your mood, Old Klang Road

This apartment available for rent on Airbnb, aptly named The Happiness Home Garden, will cheer up anyone’s mood, with its bright yellow decorations throughout the duplex that will bring a smile to your face. The tasteful contrast between the yellow details and dark furniture shows expertise in interior design, and the playful recycling of old wooden palettes into wall décor suits the ambience of the room perfectly. The spacious apartment brings to mind a youthful atmosphere, the canary yellow carpet, curtains, chairs, and even crockery adding to the cheerful vibe of the place. This is definitely a fun place for a staycation with friends over the weekend!

A modern-day palace in the city, Damansara

The most extravagant property on this list, this swanky resort-style residence looks more like where you would stay on holiday than a home, with its floor-length glass walls, nine bedrooms, private swimming pool, library, ballroom, study, game room, and even a chapel! Built to accommodate a large family that frequently entertains, the YTL Residence is a mammoth of a building, encompassing over 30,000 square feet in Damansara. Details like it’s shell-shaped, curving wooden staircase, custom-designed porcelain chandelier, artfully arched walls, and sleek marble floors all add to the overwhelmingly exquisite and refined atmosphere permeating the household. The exceptionally-shaped exterior, an enormous shell made of concrete, steel, and wood hugging the entirety of the home, gives it an other-worldly air. Try not to let your jaw drop to the ground if you ever visit this place!
Architect: Jouin Manku
All these home-owners started somewhere, so it’s not impossible for us to achieve just as much as they have. Even if the idea sounds preposterous to us now, who knows, you just might own a mansion in the city someday!

Nobody Cares Whether The Last Nana's Green Tea Outlet In M'sia Lives

It’s honestly no shocker when several eateries exited the Malaysian F&B scene this year. It happens even to the best and most popular of food chains, so what more those that have clearly outlived their stay.
There were the almost goodbyes like Tealive, and then there’s the actual goodbyes.
Molten cheese tart brand Pablo was one of the brands that took the swinging of the axe but unsurprisingly Malaysians barely batted an eyelid—the same way Nana’s Green Tea’s departure in The Gardens on the last day of July was only a temporary shock. Much like tearing a bandaid off.
In fact, perhaps the only F&B brand this year to have made such a lasting impact on Malaysians was the possible departure of Tealive. Now that’s branding done right on Bryan Loo’s part.

To make your fans that invested in your brand is something that money can’t buy. And to think that Malaysians could mourn the possible death of a boba tea brand!

Sadly, that’s not something that Nana’s Green Tea has, or perhaps ever will have.
A quick call to Pavilion’s front desk assured us that the sole Nana’s Green Tea in Malaysia is still alive and well.
Though we’re unsure if the clock is ticking for the green tea restaurant, I’d say the quicker their exit, the better because the longer their stay, the more the damage done.

And it’s no mere exaggeration that there’s just way too much of a mess right now for the brand to clean up.
Take the sh*tty customer service for one.

With more 1 star ratings than you would bother to even count, it’s hard to believe that the comments are somewhat biased to the negative end. There’s definitely something inherently wrong with their lineup of staff, both in the existing Nana’s Green Tea outlet and of the one that has already closed up shop.
It’s a classic case of “anger a bunch of customers and you would definitely face the ugly aftermath”.
While there’s no telling for sure why we waved goodbye to the outlet in The Gardens in the first place, it’s a blessing in disguise that they left.

But of course, as Masterchef Canada’s Alvin puts it, “food is king”.
That was after all how the Canadian-based Hongkee was able to overlook sloppy presentations and rude culinary contestants on the cooking-based reality show.
But even at the core of it, Nana’s Green Tea was unable to salvage that little bit of dignity.

Gum paste-like veggie rice, bones found in one’s meal, food that is served cold, spilled soup over the food tray.
There’s simply no excuse for constant hiccups after constant hiccups.
And that’s why even down to its dying breath, Nana’s Green Tea still received its fair share of bad reviews.
From poor customer service to meals that were served and prepared without heart, I’d say that it’s best that the green tea brand closes up shop for good in Malaysia.
And that’s why I’ll be awaiting Nana’s Green Tea Pavilion’s ultimate demise. I’ll even toast to that…with green tea.

For Goodness Sake, Just Try Out These 10 Saké Hotspots In KL!

The Japanese are well known for putting thought, attention to detail and personality into their craft.
Yes think about how their famous Omu Rice, Cotton Cheesecakes and Mochis are so delicately made to create its supple and airy texture while not being overwhelming in flavours.
All the culinary delicacies we get to enjoy today is a result of passing down recipes and techniques for generations. Because of that, we have pleasures in life such as Sake.
Aside from being a amazing drink to pair with seafood, it also boosts one’s immune system, wards off allergies, is gentler on the stomach and is gluten-free! However, do remember to drink responsibly and in moderation to truly enjoy the Sake experience.

Here are 10 places for you to enjoy sake on its own, paired with food or from the comforts of your home!

Through a variety of sake tasting flights that are personally curated to themes such as Introduction To Sake, Non-Junmai Vs Junmai, and Different Polishing Rates by Danny, you will be able to learn all about the beverage, its history, and more.
And yes of course they do serve equally as delicious food! Danny has made it a personal quest to prove that other non-traditional Japanese food can also be paired with sakes so you’ll have a varied menu of Japanese food creatively fused with foods from other cultures.

On the cocktail menu, there are a few sake mixers such as Sake+Calpis, Sake+Assamboi and Sake+Lemonade which all sound really refreshing.
Definitely a place worth checking out if not for their food, for the huge paper dragon “flying” around on the inside (P.S., if you must know, the paper dragon is suspended from the ceiling).

We Took A Gastronomical Trip To Positano—No Passports Needed

Even before we stepped into Positano Risto, the atmosphere was beckoning us to do so. It’s a spacious corner lot facing a little garden lit up with fairy lights. At the front is the alfresco area for patrons to enjoy the natural breeze and chill on sofas.
On the inside is a brightly lit and airy space with a feature wall spotting a landscape of Positano, Italy.

“I’ve never been to Positano. But my brother-in-law who’s my partner has. He described the place as beautiful. It touched his and his wife’s heart like no other place of worship ever did. And that sparked his strive to create a restaurant chain whereby Muslims and non-Muslims can dine together,” shared Ishak, co-founder of Positano Risto.
Together, they opened their first restaurant in Singapore, at 66 Bussorah Street with the name Positano Risto. The moniker of this place roughly translates to “Positano’s restaurant”, which is made apparent by both outlets having a full-sized wall of the landscape of Positano.
Unpretentious Delicious Food
“When we decided to venture into this, a lot of industry veterans told us we’d fail. All because we wanted to have a halal Italian restaurant and most Italian recipes utilise wine. But we refused to listen because we know if we do things right, it will work out,” said Ishak and we’re glad they pushed on.
If they had listened to the negative Nancys, we’d never have had the chance to try this cheesy and fragrant thin crust pizza.

Positano Super Supreme Calzone (RM59.95)
The Positano Super Supreme Calzone is a pizza with 8 pockets filled with mushroom and beef pastrami goodness. Topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella, turkey ham, beef pepperoni, burrata cheese, parmesan cheese and rocket salad, it had a soft and cheesy base with a light crispy crust.
Due to the combination of meats and herbs, it was a savoury and herby delight.
Bridging Gaps Over Plates
Positano Signature Boston Lobster Fettuccine (RM199.95)
As much as we fight over the ownership of nasi lemak, hawker centers, and the classic copycat conundrum, there’s one thing we all agree on.
“Good food is a universal language,” explained Ishak, to which we wholeheartedly agreed with.
“We’ve been seeing quite a lot of multiracial-working crowds come over to dine, in both Singapore and KL. And that’s great because it’s a different alternative from the typical nasi kandars. Positano Risto is halal and we’ve got great options for everyone to choose from!”
As the evening went by, a steady trickle of patrons filled the seats. It was refreshing to witness a nice racial demographic balance under one roof. At Positano Risto, it was like the spirit of 1Malaysia came to life in an Italian Restaurant.
We love how they’ve got mains for sharing too such as the Positano Signature Boston Lobster Fettuccine.

Whole Boston lobster and fettuccine tossed in their signature lobster bisque sauce. It’s served with a generous portion of tiger prawns, squids and vongole. Although it says on the menu that it’s good for two, you could share it between three to four persons with the inclusion of other sides and mains.
Authenticity With A Lokal Twist
Having had my fair share of halal western cuisines, I’ve been burnt enough to know to stay away. I’ve come to expect plates of over-boiled noodles swimming in thin, sweet tomato soup, served with mushy subpar sausages or chewy slices of ham. As for drinks, it’s usually coloured syrups with a dash of water. And for dessert, muffins with chocolate cream passed off as a poor excuse of a lava cake.
Ishak said that European dishes are generally milder-tasting in comparison to our local flavours. Hence, they had to tweak the dishes at Positano Risto a little to fit the local palate.
Their Amalfi Style Seafood Soup and Slow-Cooked Italian Meatballs bore testament to that.
Amalfi Style Seafood Soup (RM26.95)
Made from scratch, the seafood soup was flavoursome and also had a generous serving of tiger prawns, squids and clams. Served with two pieces of garlic bread, we happily lapped up the rest of the soup on its own too.
However, their Slow-Cooked Italian Meatballs were a show stopper.
Slow-Cooked Italian Meatballs (RM23.95)
Easily the size of a golf ball, the meatballs are made from 100% meat with eggs as a binding agent. This resulted in a compacted ball of meat that fell apart with the ridges of chopped meat.
Braised in their in-house spicy tomato sauce, the mozzarella and cheddar cheese balances out the tangy and savoury tomato base.
As for pasta, their Fettuccine Carbonara is their best seller and we can see why.
Fettuccine Carbonara (RM32.95)
Housemade pasta tossed in traditional Italian carbonara, topped with beef pastrami, crispy beef bacon, chives, parmesan crumbs and a sous vide egg, it’s the perfect milky dish.
If you’d like to have something light and refreshing like a crisp summer’s breeze, their Char-Grilled Calamari with Herbs is a must-try.
Char-Grilled Calamari with Herbs (RM28.95)
Tossed with fresh mint, parsley and sliced chilli served with a drizzle of garlic oil and lemon, it’s akin to a Chinese cold dish served in banquets.
A Refreshing Change
Lychee Di Menta Mocktail (RM16.95)
While most European cuisine eateries would serve wine to accompany and amplify the taste of their dishes, Positano Risto serves thirst-quenching mocktails and shakes instead.
Passion Colada (RM16.95)
For their mocktails, we had their Lychee Di Menta, Sky Walker and Passion Colada. The Sky Walker made from wild blueberries, Blue Lagoon and Lemon-Lime Soda is reportedly their bestseller.
Sky Walker (RM22.95)
Served with sugar-dusted blueberries on top and crushed blueberries in the drink, it’s a fun drink to sip and nibble on as you wait for your food to arrive.
However, our personal fave was the Godfather milkshake that had Ferrero Rocher, Nutella and premium vanilla ice cream.
Godfather (RM24.95)
It was creamy and chocolatey but not too much dairy till it fills you up too quickly.
As for desserts, their Positano Signature Oreo Chocolate Lava Stack was a sinful delight to end our meal with. A warm molten dark chocolate lava cake stacked on a homemade Oreo mud pie ice cream drizzled with chocolate and caramel sauce.
Positano Signature Oreo Chocolate Lava Stack (RM29.95)
And yes, the molten chocolate really flowed.
We love how the vanilla ice cream added a lighter layer to balance out the heavy chocolate flavours from the cake and Oreo.
John Steinbeck once said, “Positano bites deep. It is a dream place that isn’t quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone.”
Ishak shared with us that the core values of this restaurant is to serve 5 star food at 3 star prices. Coupled with the warm and inviting experience, they know they’ve succeeded when a customer returns for more.
And honestly, we’d gladly return for more. Positano Risto, you’ve left a deep mark.
P.S.: They’ve got express lunch sets from 12pm-3pm too! Starting from RM17, choose from 10 different dishes and get a complimentary beverage.

This Library Doubles As A Space Where M’sians Can Exchange Books As Well As Thoughts

Heading to the library is often seen as something personal. We head in to look for books which inspires us and would take us to an entirely different place. Rumah Attap Library & Collective 84 took that idea and made it better by inviting Malaysians to come and create intellectual conversations surrounding cultural studies, arts, literature, philosophy and social sciences.

The library was founded in 2017 by Amateur, In Between Cultura and Au Sow Yee Studio. It’s located in a row of restored 1950s shophouses in Kampung Attap, KL, hence its name. Yes, if you figured that the library was within a rumah attap, you, like me, are fooled too. It’s in fact a minimalistic space with a large shelf of books where people can exchange pieces of literature from.

The library also holds occasional workshops and forums where you’re invited to exchange thoughts regarding some pressing subject matters. Whether your interest lies in social sciences or the arts, it’s a good place to voice out some of your thoughts about these topics.
The founders of Rumah Attap Collective 84 mentioned on their Facebook page what their aim was when they built this library. “We hope to build an open and critical alternative knowledge system through this library, creating a critical and lively coordinate generated by public participation,” they said.

Though there are workshops and forums held all of the time for the general public, it’s nice that Rumah Attap Library & Collective 84 is yet another space we can head to. It’s also a cosy little space to meet like-minded people. The next time you’re looking to head to a library, perhaps you could consider this space.
Rumah Attap Library & Collective 84
Hours: Wednesday-Friday: 7pm-10pm, Saturday-Sunday: 1pm-6pm

Address: 84c, Jalan Rotan, Off Jalan Kampung Attap, Kuala Lumpur

This 'Pay As You Wish' Café In SS2 Lets You Determine The Price Tag Its Food Deserves

Ever walked into a café and browsed through the menu only to sit in silence and shock as you contemplate the extravagant prices for its food?
I bet it’s happened to most of us, at least once.
The right thing to do would be to leave the eatery, should we not feel comfortable with the prices that we are paying but sometimes, the sheer embarrassment and trouble leaves us glued to our seat to enjoy our meal in misery.

A café in SS2 is set to change that with their ‘pay as you wish’ concept.
Serving up coffee, pastries, cakes and general light meals, Summersault Café lets its customers determine the price tag that its food deserves.
We spoke to Sean of Summersault Café about this unique concept which was the brainchild of its part timers who geniusly proposed the idea.
The very next day, Summersault began running by the ‘pay as you wish’ concept.

With the tight Malaysian economy, it’s cool to see a café in the bustling food district of SS2 offering up such a concept. And guests of the eatery have thus far been reasonable with their payment.
When asked how much customers have paid for the food and drinks at Summersault, Sean mentioned that customers saw the general worth of their items to be RM10.

He added, “The RM10 note is easy to pull out from the wallet in one piece.”
For new customers who are unfamiliar with the concept, Sean stresses that the folks at Summersault are ever ready to explain. He mentioned that this helps to preempt the customers and avoid starting up any unwanted confusion.

He also shared how locals aren’t always warm to this idea but over time, he notes that the right customers would stick by them and return time and time again.

Now, the question is, how much would you pay for these delectable treats at Summersault?
Summersault Café
Hours: Tuesday-Thursday, Sunday: 12pm-10pm, Friday-Saturday: 12pm-12am. Closed on Mondays.

Move Over Burger & Lobster, Lobster Rolls Are Now Available In Pasar Malams—From RM19

Editor’s Note: Baby Lobster Lab has since upgraded their menu to remove the egg mash from their Shrimp Rolls and Lobster Rolls—that means more lobster meat goodness in each bite! 😉
Consider Baby Lobster Lab your affordable version of Burger & Lobster, with prices that are made for the masses.
Recently, we chanced upon a pretty solid alternative to the famous burger and lobster chain.
Baby Lobster Lab uses a form of Australian baby lobster a.k.a. the crayfish/crawfish for their regular lineup of lobster rolls.

Available exclusively at pasar malams only, this lobster roll stall migrates from location to location daily.

Psst, check out their exact locations at the end of this piece!
Baby Lobster Lab offers 2 different types of flavours in their regular seafood rolls category:
Shrimp Roll (RM9.90)Lobster Roll (RM19.90)
For that extra oomph factor, opt to top off your lobster rolls with some ooey gooey cheese.
A cheese add-on is priced at RM3. However, for the next month, Baby Lobster Lab will be having a special promo that’ll allow you to enjoy the cheese add-on for free, so long as you post a photo of your lobster rolls on your Instagram stories or posts.

Yen of Baby Lobster Lab shared that the team is able to keep prices low due to the fact that they breed the baby lobsters themselves at their lobster pond farm in Balakong, Cheras.
By processing their own lobster meat, they are able to further control their costs.

“Lobsters are a very premium ingredient that not all would be able to afford. We want to bring this premium delicacy down to a more affordable price,” Yen shared.
In order to create these lobster rolls, Yen shared that once the lobsters are caught from the pond, they are then processed for their meat. To ensure freshness, all ingredients are prepared daily, including the steamed lobster meat.
The lobster meat is then mixed with a secret sauce, a mashed egg mix and is stuffed into a grilled buttered bun.

While RM9.90-RM19.90 might be pricey for a single item at a pasar malam, Yen justified that most would tend to walk around the night market and end up with a plethora of items which would roughly come up to that amount (or more) anyway.
What they aim to offer is satisfaction with a single item.
We found the Australian Lobster Rolls to have a pleasant buttery taste, courtesy of the nicely-toasted buns.
The lobster meat itself was soft and the layer of cheese on top really made all the difference, making it all the more indulgent.
The lobster roll flavour is akin to a Hawaiian pizza, sans pineapple chunks.

We did find the roll to have a strong egg flavour (perfect for us as we enjoyed the taste). However, this also meant that the lobster flavour did not stand out quite as much.
Yen noted that as the baby lobsters are bred in a pond, they do not have the signature fresh seawater taste that Canadian lobsters do.

However, if you’re up for a distinct lobster taste, she would recommend trying their newly-launched Canadian Lobster Roll, priced at RM79.90.
And yes, this is the same form of lobster used in Burger & Lobster’s lobster rolls!
Newly launched on the night we paid Baby Lobster Lab’s stall a visit in SS2, we could already tell how the dish (which is a part of the brand’s premium category) sparked curiosity among passersby, mostly from the younger crowd.

With most whipping out their phone to ‘gram the preparation of the dish, Baby Lobster Lab made sure that they put on a good show.
The live prep of the Canadian Lobster Roll only took the team 2-3 minutes but it was interesting to watch the process of removing the lobster shell firsthand.
The resulting Canadian Lobster Roll looks pretty majestic as it’s topped off with the lobster head shell itself!
As promised, the Canadian Lobster Roll had a pleasant savoury seawater taste and the meat is nice and tender. We also enjoyed how the sauces are mildly-flavoured and barely present in the taste profile of the dish. That way, you’ll get to enjoy the unadulterated flavours of the lobster itself.

Depending on your budget and preference, Baby Lobster Lab offers different types of seafood rolls for you to choose from.
They are a refreshing alternative from the lobster roll experience which almost always tends to be in a fine dining/restaurant setting.
And their most premium offering is also priced lower than their competitor.
Price aside, it’s more of the experience of having something so indulgent in a pasar malam which is definitely a more chilled, hair-in-a-bun, dressed-in-“house”-clothes kind of setting.
To have a premium lobster roll one minute, and then stroll down the pasar malam for some lok lok and satay sticks the next—it was an interesting experience no doubt.
And that is among what sets this humble lobster roll stall apart from the rest.
If you’re keen to give Baby Lobster Lab’s lobster rolls a go, pay them a visit at any one of their daily locations.
