Rating:8/10(Good. Can't comment much about the drink over here as I just ordered a beer. The drink selection is quite limited. Most probably they are quite new. Environment wise is good with plenty of crowd and gets crowded around 11.00pm. Music selection are good and not super noisy. Discussion is still possible. This place is quite trendy and more like a sports bar which focus on beer pong game. Its a good spot for Instagram pictures).
Price:4/10(Near expensive. Their beer price is similar to other bars but cocktail at higher side. The cocktail price starts at MYR40.00).

Yilo restaurant & bar @ Taman Megah, Petaling Jaya

Yilo restaurant & bar serves good chinese hawker style food and drinks. Its good place for hangout but if you prefer quiet place, then this place is not suitable. Its rather noisy and you will need to shout during conversation. I would say the environment here is a bit like the Japanese izakaya style which is noisy and smokey. Food and drink however were good and tasty.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. This place is famous to be crowded. Do come earlier or during weekend to enjoy the food and drink here. The menu is rather huge with plenty of Chinese food and cocktail selection. I ordered fried kway teow with raw egg and beef fried kway teow with raw egg. Both food were good. Drink were good especially the Guinness beer as they have salted plum taste).
Price:6/10(Moderate. The price of food item and drink here are quite reasonable. Meal for one price around MYR12 to MYR18 and cocktail start from MYR20. The signature drink here is their Guinness beer mix price at MYR48 per ceramic jug).

The ambiance here is fantastic and very nice decoration. The seat here is quite limited if you have big group. If you would like to explore the whiskey from around the world, you would like this place as they have so many selection and their bartenders are friendly as well. Let them know what you want to taste and your preference.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. I ordered their whiskey sour which is a cocktail that contains whisky, lemon juice, sugar, and egg white. I like it as it come in big glass which I can enjoy it longer. Their pan seared scallops in ponzu teriyaki sauce were tasty).

Tasty cocktails at Pahit @ Pudu, Kuala Lumpur

Pahit is a gin specialty hidden bar in Kuala Lumpur. It has some sort of industrial type of ambiance and relaxing. Less crowded if you come during weekday. This is an old shop lot converted into bar and the decoration is quite creative as well.

Taste:9/10(Tasty. Refreshing drink of Laksamana which is mixture of ingredients used to make assam laksa. Lol... You can taste ginger flower, mint and lemon grass taste in this cocktail. I also tried their signature Starlight drink which is mixture of Bulldog dry gin, violet liqueur, lavender basil syrup, grapefruit juice and hibiscus soda. Both cocktail is unique and local creation).

Porky dinner at The Barn @ Citta Mall, Ara Damansara

In less than a week, I have been to this wine bar twice. The Barn which is newly open in Citta Mall, Ara Damansara is a nice place to hangout at night for drink and plenty of delicious porky artery clogging dishes. Its a full porky dinner indeed. Ordered their wines and Mai Tai cocktail which is quite good.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. The roasted pork pizza with plenty of fat siew yoke is the highlight. The iberico pork rib were awesome as quite flavourful and the bacon salad comes with loads of crunchy bacon.).
Price:5/10(Near expensive. Although western style food usually priced higher but the price at the Barn seems reasonable with some coupons and vouchers that you can get it by downloading their mobile apps. Wine at MYR10 per glass, mai tai cocktail at MYR27, Iberico pork ribs at MYR80, oven roasted baby back ribs at MYR58, roasted pork pizza at MYR33 and crispy bacon mango salad at MYR25.

French dining at Topshelf @ Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur

Topshelf is a French restaurant located in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur. Always wanted to try out this place but don't have chance until the Christmas eve night when I happen to be there with my mom. The food were good and some dishes above expectation. This is a nice and cosy restaurant. You can see the chef in action as the kitchen just behind a glass wall.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. I like two of their dishes the most. The pan seared salmon belly and mushroom soup with truffle. Both are well done and taste very good. As for the crispy aromatic duck, its not that crispy but the meat is tender. Taste wise is good with combination with the sauce and vegetables. The dessert of dark chocolate mousse is creative and well thought).
Price:3/10(Expensive. Since this is a fine dining restaurant, the price is at a higher side. Salmon belly at MYR30.00, mushroom soup with truffle at MYR25.00, pan seared catch of the day at MYR44.00, dark chocolate mousse at MYR26.00 and crispy aromatic duck at MYR38.00. Service and environment in the restaurant is good. One item which I think that they need to improve is that they don't provide plain water as drink option. They trying to lure their customer to drink their pricey mineral water. Its a bit let down for foodie who come here for food and plain water is the most basic necessity that each restaurant should provide either for free or with a small fee. The food selection were not many during Christmas eve as they have predefined set menu).


Nice and cosy environment.
