French Sunday Buffet Brunch at Rendez-Vous Bangsar

Tim Chew

[Photo Album]   For the longest time, I really couldn’t understand why some people were so into brunch. Most of the time, I’d be too hungry by 11.00am so I’d usually have my breakfast then meet my friends for lunch. However, lately I’ve been doing quite a number of brunch reviews and I realised the practicality of brunch for those who wake up late on the weekends. Basically, if you’re waking up at 10.00am or later, it makes more sense having one big meal in place of two. So one fine Sunday morning, Amy and I decided to try out … Continue reading French Sunday Buffet Brunch at Rendez-Vous Bangsar

Tim Chew

[Event]   Pearl and I recently headed over to Chalet Suisse in Ampang for the Delia Wines x Chalet Suisse wine pairing dinner. Now Ampang is not one of my favourite places to go to due to the distance from my home in Petaling Jaya but the prospect of some good wines and food certainly made the trip seem worthwhile so over we went. Delia Wines is an importer of wines from France and beyond, as well as also being the producer of Champagne Laurent Robert in France, while Chalet Suisse is an authentic Swiss restaurant located in Little Korea … Continue reading Delia Wines Gourmet Dinner at The Chalet Suisse

Food Review – Fresca Mexican Kitchen & Bar at Avenue K

Tim Chew

[Review] Most of you who follow this site would know that I normally review the more high-end dining establishments in the Klang Valley and beyond as part of my “romantic dining spots” series which I have had for a couple of years now. However with the market being so soft and the price of everything increasing due to the weak ringgit, now everyone will have so much disposable income to go to high-end establishments that often. So where do you go if you want to bring your partner out for a date night yet not burn a huge hole in … Continue reading Food Review – Fresca Mexican Kitchen & Bar at Avenue K
