Hidden above the streets of Taman Desa, the residential maze behind Old Klang Road you can find a cozy little spot that is great for gatherings and live music. It is an interesting concept of cozy work environment by day, bustling music and hangout spot by night that you should definitely consider for either of the two. They’ve been around since 1996 and are one of Taman Desa’s longest running F&B venues.

When you talk about viral Korean food in Sri Hartamas, I really cannot think of one Korean food spot that has gone this viral in Sri Hartamas in a while. I even think I’ve seen this place more than Busan Zip and Gamtan on social media, and that’s saying a lot! This is Dong Baek, a new Korean spot in Sri Hartamas specializing in pressure cooker dishes and unique Korean alcohol offerings.

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!

Suddenly felt like having Bak Kut Teh over the weekend, so was about to pop over to my usual spot in Sri Hartamas, but I just had this temptation to look for some eating spots in Kepong - and lo and behold, I stumbled upon a bib gourmand receipient - Hin Kee Bak Kut Teh!

I’m happy to share some reviews from a while back that I haven’t gotten to doing and today I’m sharing Sae Ma Eul - probably my pick for the most authentic Korean BBQ experience you will find in JB. (Currently no FB update about what they’re doing for MCO 3.0, but I’m sure there will be an update soon)

Today I’m sharing a bit more about my food adventures around Eco Botanic. This time it has brought me to The Hong! This is a Korean noodle shop that has been around for quite a while, so here’s what I thought of the place!

Today I’m sharing a pretty neat breakfast/branch spot in Eco Botanic serving up delicious Malaysian food for you guys to feat on! From nasi lemak to mee siam and kueh-kueh, this place is a great option to get your breakfast fix!

Another cafe that probably comes under that ‘hipster cafe’ kind of category and this week it is Rowan & Parsley Food Atelier, a Texas style barbecue smokehouse coming to you from Masai, JB!

As usual, sticking with the general Eco Botanic theme of this blog, today I’m sharing Good Times (好时光) Cafe at Eco Botanic. I would say that this is one of those restaurants with the “atas kopitiam” kind of feel. Classic dishes with a clean, air conditioned space.

Today I’m sharing another find on the Burpple app, Toast & Roast SS2 Petaling Jaya, and my oh my, this place is a pretty darn great place to go for a nice hearty breakfast.

Bringing yet another Japanese restaurant to you guys today and it is Kirishima Shuzou, a somewhat hidden gem in Johor Bahru for Japanese food lovers!

Today I have something that I’m pretty excited to share with you guys! The best way I would describe it would be that it’s probably the closest experience I’ve had to Haidilao… like ever. And the fact that you can find it in Eco Botanic just makes it fantastic!

There are SO MANY steamboat restaurants in Eco Botanic. I’ve talked about Thai Mookata Steamboat & Guoma Express, but this is so far my favourite steamboat in the Eco Botanic area. With that being said, on with the review!

This week’s blog post is for my personal favourite for Dim Sum ini JB, Tasixi (or 大四喜香港点心楼)! This is a pretty neat place with a lot of Dim Sum to satisfy your cravings.

Coming to you guys back from Johor and this time it is Fortune Pot Wan Tan Mee! This is probably something that comes in between your average coffee shop Wan Tan Mee and your Din Tai Fungs, so this is a pretty interesting concept!

If you’re looking for some legitimately delicious (but guilty-pleasure inducing) food around Mont Kiara, there really is no better place than Fat Fook Inn. This is legitimately a really yummy option for some premium (at least for me) Zi Char style food in Mont Kiara.

This is a pretty trendy restaurant, becoming what is probably one of the most hip restaurants in 2019, and I managed to finally try it at the very end of the year (New Year’s Eve XD)! Table & Apron’s fried chicken is a must have for all those looking for a delicious (and healthy) fried chicken!

I would say that since Sprout JB closed down, there aren’t too many more options around the JB area for a fine dining experience. But now you can look no further than 初 or Initial, brainchild of Chef Koh Chin Hong.

Guoma Express is a steamboat -esque restaurant with a pretty unique characteristic - you have a small steamboat in front of you just for yourself! No more fighting with friends for which soup and dishes you want inside your dishes, this place is for all those people who like slightly stranger combinations but are shy to ask for it! XD

To have a cheap food option in this area is an absolute DREAM COME TRUE for me. Yuan Eatery is a really nice addition to the Sunway Iskandar area for all you ‘Zhap Fan’ or budget eaters!
