New Sushi Creation at Benkay Japanese Restaurant, Hotel Nikko KL

Benkay@Nikko has always been a great place to have a high quality Japanese meal and been close to my heart ever since I had my first time experience there. This time, I’m visiting there again to try out their new sushi creation. Without wasting any precious time, let me introduce you to the first creation, which I believe was the favorite of the night !

Five Elements Moon Cake from Hotel Nikko

Mid-Autumn festival has always been something I look forward into every year, because I just simply love moon cakes. To date, many moon cakes producers have been creative and tried to be stand out from the competitive market, especially when even Haagen Dazs and Starbucks also introduced their own moon cakes.

This year, Hotel Nikko has come up with their very own creativity based on the Chinese 5 elements of Fire, Earth, Water, Metal and Wood. Each element is represented by a specific colour, as colour is the easiest way to use the five elements principle to bring harmony and suspicious overtones to any celebration.

Taragon Restaurant Serves Nyonya Food

Everyone knows Melaka is popular of the Nyonya food, also referred to as the Straits Chinese food, is an amalgamation of Chinese and Malay cuisine believed to have originated from the Peranakan (Straits Chinese) of Melaka over 400 years ago. This was the result of inter-marriages between Chinese immigrants and local Malays, which produced a unique culture. Here, the ladies are called nyonya and the men babas. Taragon Restaurant and Bistro is a relatively new restaurant located smack in the Melaka city riverside, serving authentic Nyonya and Western food while providing a magnificent view of the Melaka River.

Food Foundry The Best Crepes Cake in Town

Back to 2 years ago, that was my first time stepped into this secluded restaurant, after recommended by my friend, Jit Shen. We were not having dinner, but went all the way there for a piece of cake, each. After tasting it the first time back then, I realized why he brought me there :-)

A Visit to Queen Victoria Market

The Tom Yum was tasteless and not spicy at all, as I tweeted earlier. Nothing spectular abt it, however the dumplings were pretty good.
