Jac: The month of September heralds the arrival of many important birthdays, the celebration of which is an involved affair. But I enjoy celebrations anyway despite all the moaning and groaning I do; any reason to eat and drink is always a great one! Bran had pronounced that western cuisine was his choice and Max! [...]

Bran: Having just gotten a bonus at work, I was scheming different ways to spend all that hard earned money – one of those schemes was a nice dinner, or two, maybe three. What better way to start enjoying things than a lobster dinner?
Jac: Despite having only just that evening developed [...]

“A decidedly non-halal post
Jac: Calling it a ‘treat’ on account of the yearly company bonus was just an excuse on my part to indulge ourselves in a new dining experience. And here’s where voracious reading of food blogs had me in good stead, so I narrowed the choices down based on glowing reviews from [...]
The KK Series: Garden Seafood Restaurant
Posted by: nouvoqueen on: February 13, 2008
Row upon gleaming row of live, fresh seafood! (Bran: Like a death row for fish and shellfish…. )
Jac: Our first night in KK and Bran and I were famished since we only snacked for lunch upon touching down. Bran’s parents brought the family to Garden Seafood restaurant situated near the railway station and [...]

Jac: Sushi again, what can we say? We must have been Japanese in a past life. It’s my third time eating at this outlet in the short span of time it’s been open and we finally get to write about it because we brought the camera in tow. Not quite Japanese fine dining being a [...]

A Hers only post.
The excuse: Attending a colleagues wedding.
The purpose: Two days, one night of makan till we drop!
We pushed off early in the morning from KL in order to reach Ipoh in time for breakfast. And indicative of the days to come, oh what a breakfast it was! We had dim sum in Bercham, [...]

Bran: I’d visited The Ming Room a couple of years ago with memories of excellently refined Chinese cuisine – the kind that I’d imagine would grace the tables of Emperors in ages past. I remember fresh produce cooked to subtle perfection, the best fine dining Chinese food I’d ever tasted.
Jac: I’ve [...]
Bavarian Bierhaus
Posted by: nouvoqueen on: November 23, 2007
Non-Halal. A Her’s only review.
My second birthday treat of the year spent with old friends at Bavarian Bierhaus. It’s a relatively new German restaurant in a quiet corner of The Curve. Dinner was delayed so we staved of the hunger before the food arrived with chilled glasses of Paulaner beers straight off the tap [...]
Umai-ya
Posted by: nouvoqueen on: November 19, 2007
Jac: So this is a right proper start; two years down the road, a new life in a new neighbourhood and the celebration of all these by dinner in our own backyard.
Ambience: The crystal chandelier is quite the bit of eye-candy
Jac: Umai-ya’s been around for a while so [...]
