This Event Revealed 13 Local Hidden Talents That Are Against Asian Norms And We Stand

Alcohol is known for being great in removing one’s inhibitions. After a shot or two, we’d feel a tad bit braver to talk to our crush, a little more eloquent in talking about our emotions or a bit more adventurous in asking a bartender to make a drink based on our face.
Kyren from Ryot Jones
Likewise, the Tiger ROAR Project showcased 13 local talents over a weekend. Ranging from various industries such as design, fashion, music and culinary, these individuals are bravely fighting against Asian norms and proving that these industries do bring in the bread (or rice bowl).
The creative industry is undoubtedly a cut-throat world. Which is probably why our Asian parents warned most of us against going down this path. However, these individuals chose to defy the odds.
Throughout the night, we were serenaded by acts like Kidd Santhe, Cassey Maximus, Nigel Sparks, Mc Syze, Kyren from Ryot Jones, DJ Biggie, Doojay, Shelhiel and Preston Wong.
Kent Lee, Dato’ Maw, Yong Sheng and Sonia Luhong
They also introduced the four new Tiger RAW talents, Dato’ Maw, Sonia Luhong, Kent Lee and Yong Sheng.
To be honest, if I hadn’t gone for this event, I would have never known about these budding local talents and be stuck consuming the same kind of music, art, fashion and roasted pork.

Hence, here are 5 lessons I’ve learned from the Tiger ROAR Project event.
1. Malaysia is full of talented individuals
Just from this one event alone, 13 unique creatives are revealed in KL. Nevermind GoodVibes Festival or any other international music festival hosted in Malaysia. If these individuals were all given a 20-minute spotlight each, we’d be partying for days.

From bobbing our head to lit tracks, decking ourselves in neat threads and stuffing ourselves with great snacks, we’ve got great potential to host our very own Coachella with local artists.
Be it tight beats by Kyren from Ryot Jones, or soothing vocals by Doojay and Preston Wong, it was a great reminder as to how much untapped potential our generation has to offer.

Besides that, the founder of DY/DX. Studio, Yong Sheng designed Haori’s that were worn by the four RAW talents and waiters at the event. Having a flair of ‘Limited Edition’ about them, I now wish I got to bring home one.
Perhaps it’s the clean folds or the rich colour play, this Psychology major who launched his fashion brand in 2017 sure knows what he’s doing.
Instagram: Yong Sheng
2. Malaysians are beyond creative
Most Malaysians grew up learning the properties of fire with this proverb: Bila kecil jadi kawan, bila besar jadi lawan.

It roughly translates into small fires are a friend but large fires are a foe. But not for Sonia Luhong, a pyrographer from Kuching, Sarawak.
She shared with us that the art piece showcased in this event at The Beer Factory Hartamas is her largest pyrography piece yet.
While she usually shies away from the limelight, this event has challenged her to create a platform for local artists and to use larger tools in making a literal mark, literally.
Instagram: Sonia Luhong

A few artists and creators even collaborated to create and perform an ‘Uncage Your Tiger‘ featuring DJ Biggie, Kidd Santhe, Cass3y, MC Syze and Nigel Sparks.
3. When creatives meet, flavours explode
Kent Lee
Remember that crunchy and juicy platter or box of siew yoke you had that weekend? Yes, it’s made by Kent Lee, guitar plucker, bass slapper and food explorer.

As a Sarawakian, I know that barbecued wild boar meat goes well with beer. And it might be the beer talking, but Kent’s Tiger Beer Salt-Baked Siew Yoke made with ingredients such as Chinese wine, salt, pepper and western herbs was a really great bar snack to munch on.
 Tiger Beer Salt-Baked Siew Yoke
Accompanied with some tangy garlic chili, it was the perfect accompaniment to the Tiger beers and groovy beats played that evening. Follow him on his Instagram to find out when his next siew yoke pop up or gig will be at!
Read more about his three other music ventures here.
Instagram: Kent Lee
4. Create don’t hate
Dato’ Maw
Cool dude swag and Hokkien rap, Teh Jian Wei aka Dao’ Maw is putting Malaysian rap on the map.
Taking the path less travelled of mashing Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien, English and Bahasa Malaysia into a track, his rap is his own style of music.
When people throw shade at Chinese rap for being rude and “low”, he claps back with his angsty rap songs and stays true to his belief in wanting to create songs that channels his identity as an angsty Malaysian Chinese man.
In an interview with Case East, he explained how Chinese Malaysians tend to put down things that they disagree with by speaking negatively of them. However, to him, there really is no reason to hate but you’ve got to stay true to yourself and keep pushing on your beliefs.
Spotify: Dato’ Maw
5. These artists are boldly clapping back at the haters

Personally, I’ve never been a fan of rap songs but knowing that these artists write them with deeper meanings than most English pop tracks nowadays, I might just add them to my Spotify playlist.
Kidd Santhe was once bullied for being a chubby kid. Today, he’s outgrown the chubs and now creates rap songs in English, Malay and Tamil with catchy names like MATKOOL and API.
Spotify: Kidd Santhe
Shelhiel
Shelhiel was once told by a lecturer to choose between Architecture school or writing songs. Unwaveringly, he chose to do both.
Balancing between producing music and school, he acknowledges that it’s not easy. However, he believes that it’s important to do what’s good for his soul, aka music.
And for that, we’re grateful for his music that’s a delicate balance of genres.
Spotify: Shelhiel
-//-
At the end of the day, events as such that showcases a platform of talents at once is always worth going for. Who knows, you might just find another band to blast away your Monday blues or a new designer for fresh outfits.
Without us supporting these acts from our own generation, these artists might have to seek other communities or not receive the support they require.
Hence, if we’d really like to see a community that accepts artistic ventures, it begins from ourselves to create platforms and opportunities for us to stand with them.

This New Premium Seafood Restaurant In Pavilion KL Is Definitely A ‘Nice Catch’ ;)

With a wealth of atas dining options located on the uppermost floors of Pavilion, one premium restaurant chooses to set itself apart—they’re conveniently located right next to the food court on the first floor of Pavilion.
Newly launched on the 30th of September, Nice Catch is a Malaysian-born seafood restaurant with an international appeal.
Stepping foot into this eatery, you’d be greeted by a stunning golden display of a school of fish. It’s indicative of the premium seafood gourmet you’re about to enjoy.
The Nice Catch team are inspired by their travels across the region and that’s how they’ve put together a menu consisting of Canadian and Caribbean lobsters and Norwegian salmon, just to name a few. Not to mention, the ingredients are also freshly air-flown weekly to Malaysia.

What takes each dish to the next level though, is the bold homemade sauces that Nice Catch prides itself for.

Nice Catch’s signature dish, the Spicy Seafood Feast (prices start at RM99) is served with a Hot and Spicy Lemongrass sauce inspired by the flavours of Southeast Asia.
The seafood feast is an aromatic medley of seafood and vegetables served with buttery fried mantous, perfect for dipping up every last drop of the sauce with.

The Golden Squid & Salsa (RM27) features flash-fried Korean Squid with Ginger and Dried Chillies over Seasoned Onion Rings plus Crispy Basil Leaves served with a warm, Smokey Salsa Sauce.
What’s distinct about this platter is the warm salsa which complements the crispy, slightly chewy squid. It makes a great choice as a starter dish for sharing.

The Crispy Battered Fish And Friends (prices start at RM35) features tender Fish Fillet fried to golden perfection with Crunchy Prawns and Chips, served with a side of Fresh Salad and tangy Grapefruit Tartar sauce.
Where Fish and Chips tend to be heavily battered and has a floury consistency, it’s not present with this dish. What you get instead is a bang for your buck because you’ll get 2 proteins on a single platter.
When tasting this recently at a review, the DiscoverKL team collectively agreed that the meal was good on its own, even without the addition of the tartar sauce. However, if you’d like to add a rich, creamy taste to your meal, feel free to dip generously.

The Cheesy Seafood Bake with Corn Dodgers (RM55) is a platter of air-flown Norwegian Salmon, Korean Squid and Zucchini, baked in a homemade Tomato Coulis and topped with Mozzarella Cheese. It is served with a side of Corn Dodgers.
The Corn Dodgers are hands down the star of this meal. When paired with the oozing Mozarella cheese, it’s the perfect combo and is a recipe for comfort food.
What’s endearing about Nice Catch is the fact that they’re not entering the blossoming F&B market blind.
They are instead bringing something new to the table by putting a spin to well-loved seafood classics. Take the Spicy Seafood Feast for example. It’s got the spiciness that Malaysians love, paired with mantou, which is a classic carb often enjoyed with Chinese dishes.
That in itself is a marriage between East and West flavours and what we think is a recipe for success.
Other than that, their prices are actually quite affordable in comparison to the other more high end eateries in Pavilion Shopping Mall. Their servings are also relatively large so when dining in a group, the average cost per pax is surprisingly reasonable.
Sounds like a ‘nice catch’ to add to Pavilion’s repertoire of eateries, don’t you think? 😉

This Bukit Damansara speakeasy offers “tailored” cocktails behind a wall of thread

In the nondescript alleyway behind Huckleberry Food & Fare’s Bukit Damansara location, you’ll find an unmarked stairwell that leads up into a vibrant rainbow-coloured wall.
Past the colourful façade covered in spools of thread, you’ll find the hidden entrance into Benang The Second Chapter (Benang).
Quite literally expanding on the idea of a “tailored” experience, Benang features a thread-themed concept. Malay speakers will expect this, as benang means thread in Bahasa Melayu.

Moreover, the name “Benang The Second Chapter” also references the founders’ first speakeasy. Any guesses for what it’s called? That’s right, it was The First Chapter.
Having reviewed their first cocktail bar in TTDI, DiscoverKL was welcomed again by the team to experience Benang.

But first, some food
It’s always a good idea not to drink on an empty stomach, so before getting the first rounds for the evening, we checked out the food menu at Benang.
We ordered the Baked Meatballs (RM26) and Patatas Bravas (RM24) per our host’s recommendations, and they definitely did not disappoint.

Served with two slices of garlic bread, the baked chicken meatballs were covered in cheese mushroom gravy, creating a satisfyingly rich and creamy dish.
Meanwhile, the slightly spicy patatas bravas featured potatoes, onions, and chicken chorizo sausages, finished with a “secret smoked vege sauce”.

Properly satiated, it was time to move on to the drinks.
Sip back and relax
Ben’s Paloma, RM38

Just like how The First Chapter had featured a drink by the name of Ben’s Margarita, Ben being one of the two co-founders, Benang has a drink called Ben’s Paloma.
Paloma, which means dove in Spanish, is a tequila-based cocktail with grapefruit-flavoured soda. Ben’s iteration of it is a faithful one, making use of only the classic ingredients.
A delightfully refreshing beverage with a notable taste of grapefruit, Ben’s Paloma carried an enjoyable bitter edge.
Butterfly Effect, RM40

A whimsically elegant drink, the Butterfly Effect was undoubtedly beautiful with its purple liquid that sparkled when stirred in the light.
As its name suggests, this drink uses butterfly pea. This, paired with lavender, brought forth a floral and mildly sweet flavour. Mixed with gin and dry vermouth, this drink was topped with soda for some added sparkliness.
An easily sippable drink, Butterfly Effect will be a hit for those who like something light and refreshing.
Asa Akira, RM45

Benang’s take on a Pornstar Martini, the name of this drink refers to an adult actress of the same name.
Swapping out a Pornstar Martini’s usual passionfruit liqueur and puree for peach-flavoured ones, this drink was topped with prosecco and Miraculous Foamer for a splash of bright bubbliness.
Fresh lime helped add an acidic zing to the drink’s fruity sweetness.
Mango Brulee, RM42

Recommended to us as one of the bestsellers, the Mango Brulee featured white rum, fresh mango, and Aquafaba—an ingredient that’s essentially water infused with chickpea (or any other legume), used as a vegan alternative to egg white foam.
Tinged with sourness from the mango, this drink tasted a little blander, especially if you drink right through the foam. Contrary to the fact sheet provided by the team, it wasn’t as sugary as expected.
For a more balanced sip, be sure to drink equal parts of the foam as well as the liquid.
Tiki Taka, RM40

One of the sweeter drinks of the evening, this concoction was tropical and citrusy with its mix of white rum, aperol, coconut rum, passion fruit pulp, mango, and fresh lime.
A favourite of ours, Tiki Taka might sound like it’d be heavy-handed with the fruity notes. Yet, it managed to stay quite light and refreshing. For those looking for a cocktail that isn’t too spirit-forward, this is your pick.
South Malaya, RM42

Presented as quite a feminine drink thanks to its pink hue, South Malaya was another citrusy hit.
Made with pisco—a type of spirit produced in winemaking regions of Peru and Chile made by distilling fermented grape juice—this drink had a lovely floral taste from the use of a hibiscus tincture.
Despite the fresh lemon and lime bringing an acidity to the drink, sweet tooths will find South Malaya to be a great match.
Guilty Pleasure, RM38

Don’t be fooled by the whipped cream topping and vibrant sprinkles, Guilty Pleasure packs a strong alcoholic punch beneath its innocent-looking surface.
At first sip, it tasted like a delicious mocha from the coffee liqueur, but the vodka soon kicked in. It also made use of Frangelico, an herb-flavoured, hazelnutty liqueur.
The vodka was a bit too heady for our liking, but those who like a strong yet fun beverage will enjoy this Guilty Pleasure.
Winter Solstice, RM45

One of our last drinks of the evening, we were rather confused when served this drink, as it looked just like negroni—a cocktail made with gin, vermouth, and Campari liqeueur.
Meanwhile, the Winter Solstice is said to feature Campari, 100 proof bourbon, sherry, banana liqueur, and caramelised banana.
After double-checking with a staff member as well as the fact sheet, we learnt the order was indeed correct, and it was inspired by a negroni.
Carrying a darker, oaky taste from the inclusion of bourbon, Winter Solstice is apt for those with a more mature palate. We couldn’t quite taste the banana, though.
Here’s to a new chapter
After enjoying a generous evening of cocktails, we slipped out of Benang slightly past 9PM, to avoid getting caught up in the Thursday Ladies Night crowd where ladies drink for free.

The sophisticated aesthetics and mouth-watering food was definitely memorable, but of course, the drinks are still the main attraction for any bar.
Offering a total of 12 signature cocktails, the Benang The Second Chapter’s variety will ensure that patrons will likely find something that fits their palette, though some of the fruity cocktails arguably tasted similar.

Benang is open from Wednesdays to Sundays, from 5PM to 12AM. To catch Golden Hour which has a buy one, free one offer for cocktails, beers, and wines, come at 5PM to 9PM.
The cocktail bar allows walk-ins, but they encourage customers to book a spot in advance to be safe.

Here Are Some Signature Dishes That You Should Order At Mid Valley's Pokémon Café

Pokémon fans would be delighted that there is finally a place where we can satisfy our cravings for Pokémon-inspired food. When news of the game’s release happened earlier this year, it sparked the introduction of Pokémon food in Malaysia, with some pasar malam’s even having their own take on Poké-food.
One café is set to trump them all with everything Pokémon-related. Japan and Singapore already have their very own Pokémon-themed café, and now Mid Valley will have its very first Poké-café too. It is scheduled to be opened on November 23 at AEON, Mid Valley.

Based on the menu, all the meals are decorated with Pikachu themes and even their names are pretty catchy. Here are some signature dishes that you should order when you’re dining here.

There’s the Pikachu “Thunder Shock” parfait (RM28.90).

And the Pikachu Latte (RM19.90) which hands down wins the ‘most adorable latte art’ award.

Battle On Pikachu! Level Up With Rare Candy (RM34.90) is a pasta dish served with either beef or chicken and of course, a “rare” candy.

This “Volt Tackle” soda (RM18.90) is refreshing and it is served with a Pikachu-shaped ice and a sprig of mint.
Image Credit: Isaac Tan
Pikachu Smilling Rice Omelette (RM29.90) is a Japanese-style omelette and definitely worth the try. Interestingly, Pikachu’s signature blush is recreated with some ketchup sauce.

The Let’s Get Together At Pokémon Café dish (RM29.90) has Pokémon characters stamped onto the potatoes and wedges.

Lastly, for dessert, there’s the Pokémon Cream Puff (RM34.90) which is an adorable platter of goodness, with the main star being Pikachu.
The grand opening will be at AEON Mid Valley on November 23. Be sure to get there early to avoid the long queue which will definitely happen, because who doesn’t want to be one of the first few in Malaysia to try Pokémon-inspired food from this eatery?

Deep Fried Wanton Snacks Aren't New But A M'sian Team Is Making It Hard To Resist Theirs

Recently, our office sin cupboard (as its name suggests, it’s where we keep our sinful snacks) was stocked with some crispy wanton skins that our boss had purchased at a bazaar.
Listening to her rave about the skins got us curious and we tried them out for ourselves.

The texture is what you would expect deep fried wanton skins to be—crispy. But it’s not super oily. Combined with chilli powder, chicken floss, chicken powder and seaweed, it’s a mildly addictive savoury snack.
As a new convert, I felt the need to reach out to tntn to find out more about this highly addictive snack.
Dictionary Time: For the bananas, 天天 means “everyday” in Mandarin and the tntn in their name is pronounced as Tien Tien.

Image Credit: tntn
The tntn team comprises of Jill, Jean and Daryl. Noting the small size of the team, Daryl admits that they have to take up multiple roles within the startup and he attributes their great chemistry and compatibility in allowing them to work well together.
For the moment, this is the team’s passion project and they each have full-time jobs of their own.
Daryl shared, “We find energy from meeting people from all walks of life and getting to know others and the story behind their ventures especially through the bazaars that we participate in.”
Image Credit: Instagram User @arrjean & tntn
The team’s aim is to spread happiness and make the community a better place day by day, one bag of snacks at a time.
Call it cheesy but snacks cure a hangry person. Hence, chips being a rather versatile snack that can be carried around and matched with various flavours easily, stays true to their main mission.
Image Credit: tntn
When they initially started this venture, the chips were called Chinese Nachos as it was part of their CNY gift basket, a seasonal offering.
However, in this day and age, branding is king. Mislabel your product and you’ll be quickly forgotten.
When the team was cracking their heads over a name that would make them stand out, one of the co-founders, Jean dropped in the word “serious”.
They immediately knew it was a match and created playful one liners as can be seen on their packaging.
An example is: “Kropok Ni Spark Joy”.
But seriousness aside, the cheekiness of the team can be felt from the packaging to the interview we conducted with them.
Image Credits: Instagram User @arrjeann & tntn
Question is, could this be better than Salted Egg Yolk chips?
Probably not. It’s like comparing apples and oranges as they’re made with different chips and the flavours are different too.
But will I have a hard time putting them down? Yes. As with my other favourite chips such as Daiso’s Caramel Corn chips, Lays Sour Cream chips and Mamee Monster.
Daryl also believes that there is no one snack to rule it all and having one too many snacks in the market is not a bad thing either.
“At the end of the day it’s about togetherness, enjoying it together with your friends, family and your loved ones. Let us all snack together-gether,” Daryl said.
Image Credit: tntn
tntn’s chips are priced at RM9 for a 70g packet and RM15 for a 130g packet. For Serious Kropok-ing needs, there’s even a bundle package to satisfy it. These chips have a shelf life of 1-2 months unopened but is best consumed within 5 days after opening it for the optimum experience.
Made from locally-sourced wanton skins, these chips are made at home with designated cooking utensils to keep them pork and lard-free. And while there’s only one flavour available for now, they are working hard “to create more flavours to dethrone the only one”.
Image Credit: tntn
They even dropped us a juicy rumour that these chips would go well with just about anything such as Tomyum, Nasi Lemak, Porridge and Rice Balls. Hence, you might see these cheeky packets making their way to supermarket shelves or in bar and cafe menus.
As a whole, the brand has plenty of space to grow, considering how they are in the business of gifting and create products that would end up in their gift baskets (which are also available for purchase and are famous especially during the festive gifting season).
Interestingly, the brand is also in the works of producing toys for their gift baskets!
Daryl shared with me a claw machine-like toy when asked what sort of toys the team has up their sleeve.

For now, tntn’s chips are available for purchase through their website.

The food isn't the only memorable thing at this KL French fine dining spot (check the loo)

Luck was on our side the day we visited Chateau Dionne. The moment we drove into the street, we caught sight of someone reversing out of their parking, and immediately swooped in.
Later, our host, Desmond, would reinforce our feeling of luck, as he shared that some customers have remarked that it could take up to 20 minutes to find parking.
Unsurprising, since they’re located at Bukit Damansara, a bustling strip where other popular eateries such as Blonde, Huckleberry, Umameat, and more, are located.

And the abundance of foot traffic these eateries bring is exactly what Chateau Dionne has been leveraging, with success, the team told us.
Initially founded in the upscale Xuhui District of Shanghai in 2014 by a Malaysian founder and serial entrepreneur, David Lim, Chateau Dionne opened the doors of its Malaysian (and first international) branch in 2020.

Despite this being a time when people were tightening their purse strings, this unassuming French fine dining restaurant has still seen relatively good reception.
On Google, its Malaysian branch has a star rating of 4.6 and over a hundred reviews praising the décor, ambience, and of course, menu.

A heads up worth mentioning right off the bat is that this is a place you can expect to pay no less than RM300++ for, if you’re going for the degustation menus.
Whether this speaks for the quality of the experience is subjective, but perhaps our recounting of ours could offer some idea of what to expect.

We began with a sliced, freshly baked French baguette and croissants served with their in-house truffle butter.
The croissants were crisp on the outside and nicely layered inside, the butter slightly on the saltier end, and the spread paired well with the bread and pastry.

After that came the seasonal canapés, a mainstay of their degustation menus. For this season’s lunch menu starting August, we had the pleasure of tasting a rather Japanese-influenced pie tee, filled with green soy beans (edamame) and nori (seaweed) cream.
Sarah mainly had reservations about the green soy beans, but was surprised and delighted when she popped the canapé into her mouth.

The blanched beans struck the right balance between being soft and having a bit of a bite to them, while the light nori cream teased a hint of the sea, contained within the crispy pie tee.
On the other hand, the tomato tartlet is a mini pastry, with a buttery, flaky base topped by a juicy cherry tomato, baked slightly in the oven then garnished with caviar.
For cold starters, we had cheveux d’ange, a cold capellini pasta dish with hamachi, caviar, and truffle ponzu.

The pasta was nicely al dente, the hamachi and caviar giving the dish an umami edge, tied together by the truffle ponzu that was slightly tart and sweet. A great starter overall, albeit a tad saltier than I’d have preferred.

To neutralise my palate in between tastings, I’d sip on my glass of Champagne Delamotte Brut, which was very sparkly, fruity, and dry.
(Wine lovers will have a blast here with the vast selections stored in a hidden cellar, as David was the founder of Denise the Wine Shop, which was a popular franchise spread across Asia.)

The hot starter was a lobster velouté (a savoury sauce made from a roux and a light stock) with sweetcorn and mini croutons.

It began with a garland of sliced lobster, sweet pearl corn, croutons, edible flowers, and fresh herbs delicately balanced on top.
After the hot velouté was poured into the bowl, we stirred in a spoon filled with a herby cream and more of the same garnish. This thickened the soup a little more.

The lobster itself was fresh and tender, the pearl corn and mini croutons providing varied textures in each bite.
Sarah, who’s more familiar with lobster bisque commented that in comparison to that, the velouté was on the thinner side, as well as having a much milder lobster flavour.
By this time, we were already feeling quite satiated, but our mains still awaited.
I went for the sole meuniere which came with duxelle, spinach, and cep foam. Sarah opted to try the other main, boeuf rossini, consisting of Australian Wagyu oyster blade, foie gras, potato, and sauce Périgueux.

Typically, this shoulder cut is on the tougher end of steaks, but when cooked correctly, brings a tender juicy steak to the table.
No stranger to good steaks, Sarah commented that her medium rare boeuf rossini was cooked to perfection, tender enough while maintaining a chew.
The Périgueux was made of Madeira wine and black truffles, and it married the flavours between the mashed potato, foie gras, and steak beautifully.
Sarah also pointed out that she was surprised by the generous portion of foie gras included in her main dish at no additional cost (usually for degustation menus, foie gras may be presented as an add-on option with a separate charge).
On my end, the sole meuniere was rather mild-tasting all around, lacking the typical strong fishy flavours, the duxelle, spinach, and cep foam serving to provide an earthy overtone to the dish.

Once we were done with our mains, we moved on to desserts, which was either the signature CD souffle, or a plateau de fromage.
I lack experience with souffles, but I’m told a proper one should rise high in the oven, and Chateau Dionne’s was all but towering out of its bowl (the picture below was taken a while after it was served).

Just getting a souffle to rise is a feat in itself, but to have it rise beautifully is a testament to the team’s skill.
Chateau Dionne doesn’t take this for granted though, as they proudly number every single souffle they serve to diners.
In Malaysia alone, they’ve served over 8,000 souffles, ours coming with a plaque displaying that we were about to dig into souffle number 8,415.

Made with Grand Marnier liqueur, orange, and vanilla ice cream, it was balanced in terms of sweetness, fluffy and airy in texture, and not at all eggy.
I opted for the cheese platter, which is more on the predictable side, with some dried fruits, nuts, honeycomb, and a sourdough slice for pairing with a few different French cheeses.

The petit four to end our three-course degustation consisted of caneles, guimauve (marshmallows), and chocolate truffles. Overall, these simply made for a sweet ending.

Something that actually hadn’t originally been on our menu were Chateau Dionne’s Gillardeau oysters, served fresh atop a boat of ice, their clear oyster liquor glistening in the light.
The team graciously treated us to it, but since I’m not fond of oysters (yes, I know I’m probably missing out), Sarah got to enjoy my portion too.
From her slurping and pleased hums, I’m pretty sure she was delighted.

Fun Fact: Every authentic Gillardeau oyster from the French family-owned farm has its shell marked by a laser logo engraving to ensure diners get to enjoy truly high quality and genuine oysters from their brand.
These and various other dishes can be enjoyed a la carte at Chateau Dionne, and wine pairings are available with each degustation menu (at a higher price, of course) too.

Besides lunch, the French fine dining restaurant also offers dinner degustation menus, tasting menus, and a prestige degustation starting at RM888++ per pax for those who really want to go all out.
While the food impressed, what really stands out at Chateau Dionne is its personality.
Fine dining establishments are typically known for their sterner atmospheres: you’re supposed to dress a certain way, speak a certain way, eat a certain way, and more.
Though it maintains some of those elements, there are more playful touches to be seen, if you know where to look.

Whether it’s from the way the walls in the more intimate upper dining area are lined with controversial and daring art pieces, or the way you can relieve yourself in Donald Trump’s mouth and on Elvis Presley’s crotch in the bathrooms, one thing is clear:
Chateau Dionne is a place that doesn’t take itself too seriously to the point of pretentiousness.
After all, as David’s favourite catchphrase goes, life is too short. So, we should enjoy it while we can.

Aoki Matcha Review: A Cheese Foam Matcha Drink That Tastes Like Liquid Cheezels?!

Admittedly, it was difficult to locate Aoki Matcha but that was a blunder on our end.
While we parked at the One City mall, the Japanese café is actually located at One Space, which is a 5-minute walk from the mall.
As we walked through the alleys trying to find our way, we found that using Google Maps while on foot did not help us much at all either.
Tip: Park at One Space to save yourself the hassle of getting lost (like we unfortunately did). The café is situated at the grand entrance of One Space.

When we finally set foot in Aoki Matcha though, we quickly found ourselves at home. Though slightly deserted on a weekday afternoon, it had a warm and inviting ambiance. We attribute it to the warm evening sun which casted shadows of trees against the furniture, and the friendly team led by Fernnie.

Fernnie shared with the DiscoverKL team that this is actually the first Aoki Matcha branch in Malaysia and the brand actually originated from China.

The café makes it a point to serve up desserts which are healthier and contains less sugar. As such, all of the desserts do not contain any additional sugar, except for that which already comes in the form of the cream. The matcha powder used in the dishes are also of the highest premium grade.

We started off with the Matcha Chocolate Cake (RM17.9) which is predominantly made out of dark chocolate ganache and chocolate mousse. Right off the bat, I found it disappointing how the matcha flavours did not stand out and the chocolate ganache (which was basic at best) clearly overpowered the subtle matcha. It’s a pitiful specimen of a cake and I wouldn’t give this a second chance. That being said, if you enjoy cakes which are subtle in its flavour profile, you might enjoy this one.

We sought to find some redeeming qualities with the next dish: Bamboo Castle (RM17.9). It’s packed with corn flakes, chewy dong yuen and ice cream. The Bamboo Castle reminds me of an aspiring bingsu—aspiring because it’ll never reach the levels of a high quality bingsu dessert, but it’s okay lah at best.

The dish could’ve stood out more, had there been some liquid-based elements as it afterall came with a dry bed of corn flakes. We did enjoy the dong yuens though. After all, it’s the only element in the dish that we’ll remember.

The Rose Cheesy Mousse (RM12.9) is a matcha cream dessert with a mousse sponge and a yoghurt cheesecake layer. The surprise element in the dish has got to be the rich yoghurt layer. Some might find its addition odd in a cheesecake but it actually cuts through the rich cheesecake flavours and balances the layers out nicely.

By no means is it an A+ cheesecake, but then again, it never claimed to be one. I would liken it more to a yoghurt vanilla cake which is light and airy—a perfect accompaniment to a richer matcha beverage.

The Bluestone (RM15.9) is made of mascarpone, chocolate powder and walnuts which has been dipped in gold dust. The resulting dish looks premium and tastes atas too. Milky and creamy, it’s an easy dish to fall in love with as it’s rich and decadent—the sort that melts in the mouth.

But due to its small portion, you won’t find yourself abandoning the rich dish midway. On top of that, the walnuts also give the dish a crunch element.

I would liken the Aoki Crepe Roll (RM15.9) to a kelefe character in a movie. It’s sadly not memorable, and like a predictable secondary character in a film, you’ll find that the flavours are similar to any other matcha crepe roll that you’ve had before. Unfortunately, its performance simply falls flat in comparison to the stars of the show, such as the Bluestone. It’s not a bad matcha crepe roll but could’ve done better, had the matcha flavour been richer.

The Cheesy Oolong (RM13.9) is a refreshing beverage and a brief respite from the rich creamy flavours we had just indulged in. It has a slight bitter taste that oolong drinkers would be familiar with. If you happen to enjoy your tea without any sugar, you would fall head over heels for this light tea. The cheesy layer it comes with isn’t too rich either and adds just the right touch of creaminess to a traditional oolong drink.

We ended our meal with the Sea Salt Matcha (RM15.9). This drink garnered mixed reactions from round the table. Some of us likened it to blended popcorn and others mentioned how it resembled liquefied Cheezels…in a good way. One thing has to be said though: the drink definitely grows on you—perhaps not on the third sip or even the fourth one.

However, do give the drink a go. We promise that it’s unlike any cheesy matchas that you’ve tried before. It has a really thick consistency and the bittersweet matcha complements it like a dream. Definitely coming back for this one.
While there’s some obvious hits and misses with Aoki Matcha, they excel in some, like the Bluestone and the Sea Salt Matcha.

Osaka's Maison de Gigi Opens In Sunway Pyramid & They Serve Croffles, A Hybrid Dessert

Dessert combinations has always been a way that bakers can showcase not only their skills but their creativity as well. Several imaginative creations have been born out of this, including cronuts (croissant-doughnuts) and duffins (doughnut-muffins). These unique dishes has taken the internet by storm and another one which is set to jump on that same wave is the croissant waffle.

Croissant waffles, also known as croffles, are the next hybrid dessert to hit Malaysia and they marry these 2 well-loved desserts together. Maison de Gigi in Sunway Pyramid is a newly opened store and they offer this dish at their outlet.

Our Resident Spicy Eater Cried Tears Of Pain After This 2.2 Mil Scorville Burger In Bangi

Salt and pepper may be essential spices for cooking. But a Bangi restaurant with that moniker has made waves for creating the spiciest burger in town.
And of course, we had to test it out for ourselves.
L-R: Carolina Reaper Pepper, Bhut Jolokia (Ghost Pepper) & Habanero PepperImage Credit: Sonoranspice, iStockphotos & Pepperhead
To create this monster, the Salt And Pepper team used the world’s spiciest pepper, the Carolina Reaper (2,200,000 SHU).
Fun Fact: SHU stands for the Scorville Heating Unit, a measure for the hotness or spiciness of the food. Or rather, how much it’ll burn going in and coming out of you.
But that’s not all. The sauce and patty features ghost peppers (1,041,427 SHU) and habanero peppers (350,000 SHU). That’s maximum spiciness. To put this into perspective, cili padis are only at 100,000 SHU.
Meet the Explosive Inner Core Burger.

Speaking on how this burger came about, the store manager entailed that the R&D process for the Explosive Inner Core Burger saw them ruling out cili padi as not being spicy enough. Hence they went with something with a lot more kick to it.

We managed to watch the team as they prepared the burger. It’s fresh ground meat seasoned with herbs, then shaped by lightly throwing the patty between both hands. Finally, it’s grilled to a dark brown perfection.
Even the tomato isn’t spared from the fiery chilli powder
Here’s what’s in their burger: homemade burger patty, cheddar cheese, onion ring, fresh salad, and their homemade potent chilli sauce. It’s served with a side of coleslaw and fries that’s well-seasoned with herbs, salt and pepper.
The Moment of Truth

On first glance, it tempts you with an innocent delicious exterior. Had we not known what burger it was, we would have thought that it was just a typical beef burger.
Our videographer, Fiqar (a.k.a. Test Subject One), was the first to try.

There was an initial spark of delight on his face. Then came the waterworks and the face flush.
“I feel like fainting,” said Test Subject One weakly, a sheen of cold sweat forming on his forehead.
In less than a minute, he was gasping for water because he felt that his face was on fire. We ordered a mug of milk and he guzzled it immediately.

Intrigued, I took a bite the size of a 50 cent coin. The taste of the patty is actually rather flavourful. Hints of the meat marinated in herbs and spices came through first. And the bun was not too airy but quite firm.
Then, in a brief second, the fiery torture ensued.
The only way I can explain the sensation is as though you’re being skinned from the inside out of your mouth. It burns. But you keep going back for more.

After two giant mugs of milk, we finally cooled our tongues down enough to have a go at the wings that were tossed in the same fiery sauce. We’re not sure what made us brave enough to attempt the wings but I guess you could say that we got somewhat addicted to the pain.
Spicy Buffalo Wings (RM15.90)
The wings are deep fried just long enough to ensure it’s thoroughly cooked. It’s crispy on the outside but tender and juicy on the inside.
Perhaps because we’ve gone through the first pain inflicted by the burger, it didn’t burn as badly with the wings. But it was still spicy enough to warrant the need for cold milk.
The Aftermath
Even though another colleague and I only took a small bite, we can testify to having two episodes of painful diarrhea the next day. But worry not, Test Subject 1 is very much alive and well.
xplosive Inner Core Burger (RM17.90)
According to poison.org, the active ingredient in peppers, capsaicin, is what gives off the burning sensation. An over-ingestion of it may cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and a burning sensation.
We’d recommend not having this burger on an empty stomach and do not touch your eyes after handling it. Should you feel immense discomfort, do seek immediate medical attention!
 If you’re feeling up for the challenge, we’d say proceed with caution. But here’s video proof of our pain and suffering. ?

This Weekend’s Largest Nintendo Event In M'sia Marks Pokémon: Sun And Moon's Launch

During our childhood days, most of us would be hooked on the world-famous Nintendo game known as Pokemon. You would also likely beg your parents to get you a Gameboy console just so you could play it. Well, 90s kids would certainly leap for joy because the largest Pokemon event is going down this weekend!
The game was played by most in the early 90s and if you were a die hard fan, you would definitely have followed the franchise throughout the years. When the Pokemon Go game launched this year, you would also most likely be filled with nostalgia, so what better way to celebrate it with the Nintendo event?

This is the first ever Pokemon Sun & Moon Malaysia Launch and you can expect thousands of people crowding at the event to get their hands on the game. If you are not a gamer, join in anyway because there will be plenty of Pokemon-themed activities going down at the event too. Who knows, you might even have a change of heart and decide to join in the game craze too!
During the event, everybody can take part in “The Point System” where they are rewarded with points in the form of stickers as they explore each area of this event and with enough points, you can redeem it for a Pokemon merchandise. There are several activities for those who own a DS Console and you might even be able to catch some Pokemon’s while you’re there too!

Expect Pokemon arcade games as well as a chance to purchase some limited edition Pokemon plushies! There’s also a Wii-U game console at the event so you could play your heart out and have people cheering you on too.

Not only that, there will be also be plenty of cosplayers at the event and you are encouraged to cosplay as a Pokemon character too! Overall, the highlight of the event is the newly launched Sun And Moon game as well as Luna Lorrain making her appearance. Luna is an international violinist who has performed across Southeast Asia, and she would be performing during the 2-day event!

To many people, Pokemon is considered their ultimate childhood game and it is something they hold dear to their hearts, so this event is bound to evoke that very same nostalgic feeling you had when you first watched, played or owned a Pokemon collectible!

This Is What It's Like To Dine In An Actual Bus In KL!

Getting tired of the hustle and bustle of the city? If the answer is yes, get in your car and take an hour and a half drive (from the heart of KL) to Jenjarom for an epic meal, and an experience of a lifetime.
Jenjarom is a village located in Kuala Langat. It is known for its Fo Guang Shan Dong temple but besides that, there’s a limited amount of IG-worthy spots that this village could offer. That is where Nightbus 127 comes into the picture.
Back in the days, there weren’t much transportation services as compared to today. Nightbus 127 used to be known as the only transportation for residents to move around town in the area of Banting to Klang and vice versa.
After years of being the main public transportation service for this little town, the iconic bus has been turned into a restaurant. Regardless of how far we are from the olden days, I am pretty sure that going back in time would be an incredible experience for us. So if you are an antique and vintage enthusiasts, then you are definitely in for a treat.
Image Credit: @gayatravel
Distinguished amongst the rest and standing out from other hipster-like cafes, this bus is pretty much the main highlight of the town. I mean, come on – dining inside a vintage bus? Who gets to experience something like that everyday? With its old school, vintage decor and disco lights, it is quite quaint, something you won’t see everyday that’s for sure. Passengers, or should I say, customers can choose to enjoy their food, either inside the bus or outside of the bus – for a change of scenery.
Image Credit: gayatravel
Inside, you’ll find that the bus has been renovated slightly but the plush seats are retained – the only main difference is how passengers are facing each other and there are tables in between them.
Outside, there are tables positioned right beside the bus where guests can enjoy a more spacious environment – but let’s face it, it’s a whole lot cooler to take a seat inside of the bus.

The bus focuses mostly on Western cuisine with a touch of Asian flare. Portion sizes here are quite huge. Everything about this place is quite different from what we are all familiar with, to be honest. So I reckon that this spot is quite worth the drive. You’ll be able to take yourself back in time, and also enjoy the fact that you are dining in an actual vehicle, rather than just a regular restaurant – if you know what I mean. Overall, this place is a must-go and it’s intriguing to think how else they could elevate this bus experience for guests in the near future.

Drop Everything Because Sakae Sushi FINALLY Delivers Food Around Klang Valley

If you ever find yourself craving for sushi or Japanese meals at odd hours, you’d be happy to know that Sakae Sushi finally does delivery services. This is indeed the first Japanese food delivery service of its kind in our country, besides the likes of Food Panda.
In the past, we would have to drive out to get ourselves some sushi but now Sakae Sushi has decided to deliver to doorsteps in Klang Valley, specifically Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya and Damansara.

Spill The Dish: What Makes Little Fat Duck's RM6 Pasta Dishes So Addictive?

Spill The Dish is a DiscoverKL series where we get local restaurateurs to spill the dish on their signature dishes, including how it’s made and what inspired them to put it on the menu.

Started in 2014 out of a wagon that soon upgraded into a food truck, Little Fat Duck has been serving delicious and affordable Italian and French cuisines in Subang Jaya.
Four months later, their first brick and mortar store hatched in 1Utama Shopping Mall. Currently, they’ve spread their wings across the Klang Valley with 8 outlets serving halal-certified pastas, chicken confit and meatballs.

Till this day, they’re known for their affordable pastas with the bestseller being their Chicken Mushroom Mornay. It’s creamy and silky but cheesier than the regular carbonara.
According to them, the taste of familiarity and localisation is what makes their pastas highly addictive and sought after.
Having survived five years in the cutthroat F&B industry, Little Fat Duck reportedly sells over 1,000 plates of pasta a day and have nailed it in terms of portion, taste, and service.

Image Credit: Little Fat Duck
Here are some facts about Little Fat Ducks pasta dishes:
Their pastas are purchased from ItalyThe spaghetti is made from semolina, all-purpose and high-protein flourEach pasta serving contains 130g of spaghetti which adheres to the standard orders in ItalySauces are cooked fresh daily
Image Credit: Little Fat Duck
Being one of the main pasta-based eateries in the Klang Valley, Little Fat Duck focuses on quality over quantity. The team shared with us that every new dish goes through 5-6 rounds of R&D to achieve the desired outcome.
They would then slowly introduce it to the market, one outlet at a time.
As for maintaining the quality of their spaghetti, a strict SOP is adhered to including cooking it in olive oil and drizzling it again in olive oil after cooking. This ensures that the pasta stays soft and doesn’t clump together.

Even their boxes are selected for quality and durability for portability without bleeding out oil all over your hands and tables.
But let’s be real. Malaysians are suckers for cheap and delicious food. Realising this, Little Fat Duck leveraged on our kiam siap (stingy) and tamchiak (greedy) spirits by having daily pasta dishes for only RM6 a serving.
Image Credits: Little Fat Duck
Placing themselves in malls such as MyTown, 1Utama and Evolve Concept Mall where satisfying meals below RM10 are rarity, creates a unique supply and demand for them.
Plus, they are also able to use high quality ingredients at a lower price by buying them in larger bulks.
To experience them turn uppity, expensive French-Italian cuisines into daily fun, accessible and affordable meals for all, follow their Facebook page and locations here.

Image Credit: Timeout KL
Calling all meat-lovers! This casual restaurant has one prime goal in mind, and that is to serve the best pork and duck dishes on a plate. They are masters at perfecting the art of roasting and cooking their meat. Most of their tables are pretty big and it’s best to come in a group of friends or family as their portion sizes are pretty big too. After all, the more, the merrier.
Try out their BBQ Pork Ribs, which is coated with their secret BBQ sauce and grilled to perfection. The meat pulls away easily from the bones and add it with a squeeze of lime for some extra tanginess. Even though they are known for their meat, you shouldn’t ignore their spaghetti. After all, it is topped with some crunchy soft shell crab and delicious creamy salted egg sauce, which is something you won’t come across very often.
Signature Dishes: NBDD BBQ Pork Ribs, Soft Shell Crab Spaghetti.

8. Bakar Bangsar
Image Credit: Bakar
Bakar might give off the impression of a mamak but it is actually a casual fine-dining restaurant. The wait staff even have the phrase: “Burn Baby Burn”on their apron, and the walls are adorned with this quote as well. Their concept focuses on the theme of ‘burn’ and that is why there are matches on their posters and the interior is highlighted with shades of red and white colour. Truly minimalistic yet striking.
When it comes to their dishes, you must try their whole roasted lamb shoulder served with flat bread and greek yogurt. The meat is moist and tender and with that secret sauce in the mason jar, the flavour will be elevated tremendously without any gamey aftertaste. If you are a big eater, have this all for yourself. As for desserts, opt for their unusual yet delicious charcoal pavlova. This dish consists of rapsberry sorbet and has a combination of chocolate mousse, shortbread, macadamia brittle and some lovely berries.
Signature Dishes: Roasted Lamb Shoulder, Charcoal Pavlova.

9. Mario + Luigi

When one mentions Mario & Luigi, the Super Mario Bros characters come to mind, but the name alone is where the similarity with this eatery ends. The video game is colourful, but this fine dining restaurant focuses on simplicity and pure white background to achieve a serene and peaceful atmosphere. Not only that, you can also take great food pictures right at the back, with the greenery acting as ‘props’ for you.
Being an Italian restaurant, the pasta is a must-try. Opt for some squid ink spaghetti with seared squid and sundried tomatoes. When it comes to dessert, get your hands on some panna cotta which is a spoonful of delicious strawberry sorbet, with strawberries and granola that gives an extra crunch to the smooth sorbet texture.
Signature Dishes: Grilled Squid + Black Ink Spaghetti, Panna Cotta.

10. Bait

Bait is definitely a must to dine in at least for once. They aren’t just about the food, they’re all about giving off a great vibe too. As you enjoy your meal, there would be a DJ playing his or her tracks to liven up the atmosphere while you tuck into some sumptious food.
Bait is known for their fresh seafood, in particular, their oysters which are from UK and France. Personally, if you are into raw meals, go gor a bucketful of oysters. If you prefer having your meals cooked, go for the kilo of cooked crawfish instead. The crawfish has been poached in saffron and champagne, making it one that will certainly tantalise your tastebuds.
Signature Dishes: Fresh Oysters, Half a Kilo Crawfish Poached In Saffron + Champagne.
