I totally forgot about this eatery until i searched for a place midpoint between my friends and me, Publika area. I have not been so i thought this was a good opportunity to try. The Red Beanbag was crowded when we arrived on a public holiday. We waited more than half an hour for an indoor seating. After the necessary SOP for entry, we were ushered to our table, activated our gadgets to scan the QR coded menu and placed our orders with the friendly waiter. Like a true latte lad, pretty neat art on top and correct cup. However, i wasn't too fond of its taste- it leaned towards the bitter side. The Kraken was among the favourites at the cafe. I can't agree more! This legendary squid conquers the wet, spiced sea. The inked pasta was cooked al dante, complementing the bouncy meat. Recommended especially for spicy and seafood eaters. Pricewise was standard cafe pricing. The ambiance was laidback, barnlike decor, creating a comfy space for us to catch up. Will i return? When i crave ...

The first thing that comes to mind when one mentions of Klang is Bak Kut Teh, loosely translated to Pork Bone Tea. Undoubtedly, everyone has their own favourite and preference of its porky meaty version. But don't stop there! Make a day trip to Klang Town and learn more of its food scene. We did, and enjoyed walking around town. This was our plan: we started with breakfast at Chong Kok Kopitiam, hunt for Regent Pandan Layer Cake, played with the mural art, tasted the Seng Huat Bak Kut Teh (aka Under the Bridge) and chilled out at cozy Seraph Awaken cafe before heading home.

Feeling the need to feel nourished? Look no further as this rather new player in the city offers time-limited, wholesome, East meets West, customizable set to individual preference. Preset meals are available; otherwise, i enjoyed the idea of being able to mix and match items from the menu to my liking. Nevertheless, it was as if i was sitting in an exam, answering multiple-choice questions: main and sides. Fan. Located on the 8th Floor of the Four Points by Sheraton, KL Chinatown, the oriental heritage ambiance was felt throughout, from the moment we stepped in the main hotel entrance. Pretty good location for stay. Lift to the restaurant level. The dramatic tones add character. In the eatery, highlighting some Chinatown favs on the wall. My dad selected the Beef Rendang, Poached Kailan and Sambal Prawns with Jasmine Rice. The tok-style rendang thick, chewy chunks were well-flavoured. I'd pick something else over the Kailan though. Open kitchen to see the chef in action, with othe...

Sexy boldness, pork high at Tipsy Boar. We went to this restaurant, sandwiched along a row of shops in Seksyen 17, for dinner. It was a quiet evening when we took our seats. Having recently renovated, i was a tad disappointed i couldn't take picture with the boar-in-cape mural, but the new drawing of pork parts was a fun change. The decor was plain and the walls were painted in simple white/grey and dark pink lining. The gate. The window. The door. Lesson in session. We flipped through the menu, easily confirming that pork is their main choice of protein, as if the name and drawing hadn't already given it away. Service was polite and helpful. Belly Bowl. Because it was a rice dish with pork belly. The broccolli was nicely cooked, fried lotus was rather cold but still had the crisp. Calrose rice was soft. Belly feedback below. Sausage Aglio Olio was delicious. Generous amount of sausage with the right level of spiciness. Pasta was al dente. Crispy Pork Belly with two sides. I li...

Konbanwa! The team greets cheerfully as we enter the eatery for dinner. We frequent this Japanese outlet for its quality food and friendly service. Occupying a decent lot in Great Eastern Mall, Kiku Zakura is our go-to neighbourly restaurant when we feel like eating Japanese cuisine. An escape to Japan while in Malaysia, with the wood prints interior, kimono-clad waitresses and gentle Japanese music in the background. Prices are above other usual Japanese restaurants but we feel they are reasonably priced for the meals we had. Abiding to the current SOP prior to entry. After placing our orders, we were teased with a tiny portion of the chef's appetizer of the day. This Cranky, soft-shell crab roll is our favourite menu pick with its crispy seaweed skin and flying fish roe garnish. Sukiyaki Set with beef slices. The warmth of the soup and glass noodles reminded me of childhood. However, the soup was a tad too sweet/intense for me that i couldn't slurp dry the b...
