Editor’s Note – December 2018

[Editor’s Note] A La Carte Buffet Dinner at Grand Millennium Kuala Lumpur Hotel   Being quite a conservationist and environmentalist, I really hate wastage. Hotel especially have a huge amount of waste generated by the leftovers from buffets as not many are willing to donate the leftovers to orphanages/ shelters for fear of it being contaminated and thus adversely affecting the reputation of the hotel. Therefore I’m really happy when I heard that the Grand Millennium Kuala Lumpur has come up with a brand new a la carte buffet concept in line with their value to minimise food wastage. Instead of … Continue reading Editor’s Note – December 2018

High Tea Set at TWG Bangsar Shopping Centre and Hotel Stripes Kuala Lumpur Autograph Collection

[Food & Beverage]] Le Gouter French Afternoon Tea at Hotel Stripes Kuala Lumpur Autograph Collection    I seriously don’t know why girls like high tea (not the buffet style ones like those at Sheraton Petaling Jaya and Istana Hotel KL that I reviewed earlier this year) so much. My guess is that it’s because of all the desserts that come with the set. Over the past few years, my partner in crime and I attended quite a number of pretty awesome (mostly fine/ or semi-fine/ wine or liquor pairing) dinners and (a couple of) lunches here and there but never … Continue reading High Tea Set at TWG Bangsar Shopping Centre and Hotel Stripes Kuala Lumpur Autograph Collection
