If you frequent my blog, you would probably know that I do go to Sri Hartmas quite a bit for some food hunts, so when I saw a recommendation from IG influencer @qiwiie on a spot in Sri Hartamas that I hadn’t even heard of, I was a bit intrigued and had to have a try. This is what I thought of Vagabond, Sri Hartamas!

This is the brainchild of two chefs’ journey of bringing Melbourne’s delightful culinary culture back to Kuala Lumpur - with flavours absolutely inspired by Kuala Lumpur - with a lot of inspiration taken from both the Melbourne food scene, as well as the wonderful Malaysian - especially Sarawakian influence being evident in every dish.

There’s been this quaint little Japanese pastry shop that has been really catching my eye everytime I walk past and I finally got a chance to visit. It’s Kotsu Kotsu and it’s located in Sri Hartamas Square, serving up unique Japanese cakes inspired by the culture of “Omiyage”, the Japanese equivalent of Balik Kampung and bringing back regional snacks and souvenirs. The main point that they seem to be highlighting is the use of their “Backen Oven” from Japan. It’s an oven that costs around MYR360,000 and helps retain moisture in the sponge cake, giving it a light and moist texture.

Looking for a gathering spot to share the Christmas spirit with friends and family? Here’s a spot that is great! Decorated to the brim with Christmas ornaments and decorations, coupled with the classic Christmas roasts and meats and a beautiful looking buffett spread, Courtyard by Marriot Kuala Lumpur South have just the spot for you, with their dinner buffett offering at Substance.

In an area already crowded with other Korean restaurants - namely Busan Zip, Dae Sam Sik Dang, and Buldojang, I was quite surprised to see another new challenger, in Gamtan Meat Shop. It is a seriously popular new Korean BBQ restaurant in Sri Hartamas attracting large crowds and long queues. Here’s what I thought of it!

Looking for a new spot to explore on those weekends where you have no idea where to go? Then look no further than the brand new KLGCC Mall, a unique mall with specialty premium shops.

Definitely wouldn’t describe myself as someone who has Omakase regularly, but the fact that I can tell you that I’ve been to Sushi Oribe twice is probably testament to the fact that I think that it is great value! (just for reference, I can’t think of more than 2 other Omakases in Kuala Lumpur that I’ve tried).

Nestled in The MET Corporate Towers, alongside other popular spots like Lacher, Niko Neko, and Fowlboys is Fiancée Cafe. A cozy and cool spot for you to satisfy your cafe hopping aesthetics with good food but maybe a hefty price tag. Here’s what I thought of Fiancee Cafe!

It’s definitely been on my eat list for a while - especially in that period where they did their RM6 promotion and had that crazy queue outside for their 6th anniversary promotion - so here’s what I thought of Lacher Patisserie!

Wanted to share a pretty neat cafe I’ve been to lately. It’s a cafe that I really liked everything, from the food to the vibes to even the service, so here it is: Oomph Bukit Jalil! There’s another branch over at Petaling Jaya, but this is referring to the Bukit Jalil branch.

I’m not personally the biggest fan of porridge, so you can bet that it has to be a pretty tasty looking porridge for me to be the one to suggest to head to SS2 to try one particular porridge. This is Ming Kee Porridge over at SS2 (銘記粥品)!

This is a new Thai spot in Bangsar that I would say is on the more reasonable end price wise. Been seeing it on Instagram here and there, so I thought that I should pay it a visit! I think that their lunch set options are actually really good - unfortunately this is me sharing their a-la-carte menu as I visited on a Sunday afternoon.

Everyone has a different favourite, so here’s just my way of saying, I want to join the conversation! Over the past few weeks, I’ve tried the four most talked about Nasi Lemaks in Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur to crown my best Nasi Lemak, her’s what I thought.

Having previously been a fan of Yellow Bake Day cakes in Johor Bahru, I was pretty excited to have their cakes once again - this time being a dine-in experience, with their brand new cafe at SS2!

If you’re looking for a hidden gem in the Mont Kiara area, there’s one that even I didn’t find out about until around late last year. It’s a hidden rooftop café in Mont Kiara that’s perfect for events and a cozy meal!

In an already competitive Korean food haven in Sri Hartmas, one new Korean BBQ restaurant has caught my eye lately. It is none other than Dae Sam Sik Dang. On the same row as Busan Zip (click right on over for that review), this is another restaurant that is garnering attention and really long queues.

Hailing from Japan, Sushiro is the country’s leading kaiten (conveyor belt) sushi chain, offering a variety of fresh sushi dishes along with special seasonal options—making every visit to Sushiro a unique experience!

Looking for a way to get your fix for your Japanese sweets craving? Then this might be right up your alley, as the TokyoTreat subscription box is the perfect way to get your authentic and unique snacks from Japan that you really can’t quite find anywhere else. It really is a fantastic idea for a gift just to explore the variety of snack boxes that they have in Japan.

I think after trying so much Genting Pork Belly, when I made a stopover at Genting Highlands, I HAD to at least try some Genting Pork Belly. Perhaps the funniest part? I didn’t actually know why it was actually called Genting Pork Belly. I just assumed it was some pork sourced in Genting itself.

It’s that time of the year again where the guys will be scrambling to find the perfect date night spot for Valentine’s Day this year, so fret not, I’ve put together this list of restaurants - with restaurants at different price points to guide you through this period!

Was looking for a lunch spot for my girlfriend's birthday lunch recently and was scratching my head on where to bring her. Then I stumbled along Entier while looking for a place, and I definitely think they didn’t disappoint. Their weekend set lunch is definitely something that I would recommend for a lot of different occasions!
