Tuna Sushi Roll

Big Cholesterol Bowl Salmon roe, sea urchin and seasonal sashimi

Small Cholesterol Sushi

Palate Cleaner: Tamagoyaki, Yam and Raw Wasabi

Dessert: Hojicha (Roasted tea) ice-cream

   As you can see, the special thing about Omakase dining is the perfect flow of item served to you. The skillful sushi master would plan your menu according to the flavour profile of each item, introducing the origin and technique used in creating the item. We started off light with some clean tasting fish, slowly built up to stronger flavour profile like Chutoro, cholesterol bowl and Engawa (which was not shown here as it was so good i quickly devoured it). Of course, ending with some palate cleaning and sweeter flavours like Tamagoyaki and ice-cream. I love the concept of open kitchen and omakase is basically the same concept. Every single items served was top notch in freshness and flavour combination. Pricing wise, it costs around RM 300 per person, slightly cheaper compared to the dinner menu. It was a tad bit expensive, but you are paying for top notch service and dining experience. Overall, Oribe offered us an unforgettable dining experience which is recommended especially when you are planning a meal with your special one for some important celebration. Hope you enjoyed today's write up! I have so many exciting updates for this platform, please stay tuned from my social media sources to know more! xoxo

    Overall, i must say that Ritz's afternoon tea offers a beautiful package with nice ambiance, excellent service but lacks of a notch in terms of flavour and fenesse of the dining items. Nevertheless, it was a great afternoon spent with my cousie. I would recommend you to visit during weekdays as weekends would be packed with crowds. To ensure a secured seat, make sure to call ahead to make a reservation and the friendly staffs will hook you up with photo-friendly window seats. That's all for today, have a lovely weekend ahead peeps!

   Greetings lovelies! I'm glad this year i am starting to pick up blogging again, after a full year of hiatus due to my insane work. Anyways, now that i'm back in action, i can't wait to share with you my food and travel adventures! So this entry is all about a recent event i attended about a month ago. This is none other than Durianbb Lauching Event in KL, so stay tuned and be prepared for a round of mouth watering durian temptation!



   We all know, durian is a rather subjective fruit to love. Some may find it disgusting with its acquired taste and flavour, some may love it so much to love everything durian, just like me. Whether you love or hate durian, there is a place everyone can start off with. Located at the heart of KL, right beside Bukit Bintang, DurianBB is a modern durian specialist eatery, embracing the latest concept of durian eating. It offers durian lovers a wide variety of durian species originated locally from the best durian farms, readily prepared in highly hygienic matter, within the comfortable vicinity of space. We were offered the tasting platter, offering 5 uniquely different durian species, starting from the mildest to the strongest flavour. Each flavour so distinctive and memorable. They also provided us with gloves and water to aid in our durian sampling session, for those OCD fella like me.

   Aside from the durian fruit, visitors also get to enjoy various durian inspired side products like durian ice cream, durian snacks, durian dodol and more for you to bring home. I've tried the durian egg roll which is surprisingly rich and fragrant.

Durian tasting platter

   Overall, DurianBB is definitely an interesting durian eatery place that is suitable for friends and family gathering over a durian feast. Prices of durian fruit varies accordingly with market price. Do make a reservation prior to that to ensure you get a secured VIP room and adequate supply of durian. Okay, i guess it is time for me to grab my durian ice-cream to satisfy my durian cravings. Till next time, hope you enjoyed this one.

   I am always a firm believer of quality living. It is not about living luxuriously, enjoying exclusive items and designers' brands, but it is all about treating yourself the way you deserve, living the moment and enjoying the beautiful world God has created for us. After a long day of work, i will make sure i get some me time, be it making a cup of soothing chamomile tea or simply watching my favourite reality TV show would end my day in a perfect note. Some days, when i'm feeling a little more energetic to drag my butt out of the house, i would also treat myself with some good and hearty brunch, to make my rest day even better. Today, i'm going to share with you a new found brunch cafe in Publika, Mont Kiara that has taken over Instagram with its minimalistic interior and hearty breakfast items--Pan & Tamper.



   Located within the vicinity of Solaris Dutamas, this white cafe is easily spotted at the corner lot of Block D1, on the ground floor. I visited this place with Mr J and Zheng when she was in town for a short getaway. We were warmly welcomed by a team of energetic young people, and were led to our table with their simple menu. Pan & Tamper likes to go for simplicity in the menu, offering a few items on each section--brunch, lunch, desserts and beverages. We were tempted to try their pasta but decided to safe it for our next visit. Hence, we ordered their popular dishes like I'm A Fun-Ghi, Pan and Tamper Bake Your Egg and of course their Cave Man Breakfast. For the drinks, Mr. J and i went for a black and a white coffee--Long Black and Flat White.

I'm A Fun-Ghi--RM 28 Potato rosti crafted with an assortment of wild mushroom sauteed with thyme, accompanied with cooked baby spinach and topped with 63 degree Celcius egg.

Pan and Tamper Bake Your Egg--RM 28 Chicken meatballs, baked egg, piquillo peppers, assorted beans, toasted almond, sauteed spinach and yogurt , served with 2 pieces of wholemeal toast.

Cave Man Breakfast--RM 28 Grilled turkey ham and chicken sausage, sauteed onion and baby spinach, baked cannellini beans, fried potato rosti and egg of your choice (scrambled/sunny side up/poached), served with wholemeal toast.

Flat White--RM 10

Long Black--RM 9

    As you can probably tell, Pan & Tamper is being real cheeky when designing their menu. Each and every dishes here have their own unique and hilarious names. For instance, I'm A Fun-ghi? I'm a fun guy? Jokes aside, the execution and presentation of this dish is totally restaurant level. This vegetarian dish is designed beautifully, combining all kinds of earthy flavours such as potatoes, mushroom and eggs, each component bringing different texture and taste, producing a sophisticated and eye pleasing dish. We would prefer the dish to be warmer and less greasy. My baked eggs was top on the notch too, with another unique flavour combinations. I love the addition of yogurt as it offers acidity and a tinge of freshness to this heavy dish. However, i would love to have beef balls instead of chicken beacuse white meat doesn't go well with tomato base. Lastly, Mr. J's Cave Man Breakfast was another interpretation of the famous Big Breakfast, with little twist on its presentation. Coffee was good, with strong acidity and fruity body. Flat White was executed beautifully, with the right foam and art. We couldn't complain much about the caffeine.

Wide selection of unique cakes for sweet tooth

   Overall, Pan & Tamper proved to be a significant force in the cafe scene of KL, with its consumer friendly pricing, lovely service and comfortable dining ambiance. I would definitely return to try out their pasta dishes. Till then, xoxo.
