Food Review – Supperclub KL @ TREC

Tim Chew

[ADV]   The MHB girls and I headed over to Supperclub KL recently to try out their newly revamped menu. Supperclub is an upscale Gastrobar and Lounge, and was one of the first tenants in the Electric Boulevard or Phase 1 of TREC, which  is the country’s first and only purpose-built, urban F&B, lifestyle and commercial destination. After some months in operation, Supperclub noticed that TREC lacked a F&B establishment which offered diners a premium dining experience and thus engaged the services of an experienced international chef to revamp their menu to meet that need. We were very honoured to be one … Continue reading Food Review – Supperclub KL @ TREC

Review – Private Room and The Pawn Room TTDI

Tim Chew

[Review]   TTDI has become quite the hub for an eclectic mix of food and beverage and night entertainment outlets in the Klang Valley. The good variety of restaurants featuring fare from different cultures attracts many diners to the suburb which is a far cry from the times when I used to live there (we used to only have a KFC, Pizza Hut, couple of Chinese coffeeshops and some Indian mamaks). Among the notable ones is the cat cafe, a bicycle themed cafe, a cafe selling salted egg cronuts, a Chinese Muslim restaurant, and a new speakeasy bar called The … Continue reading Review – Private Room and The Pawn Room TTDI

Malaysia International Gastronomy Festival 2016 – Pampas at Old Malaya

Tim Chew

[MIGF Special Feature]   I really enjoy a good steak however the number of good steakhouses in the Klang Valley are pretty limited. Most places will just overcook my steak even though I tell them MEDIUM RARE. And there’s no way to undo an overcooked steak therefore sometimes if it comes medium or medium well I would just bite the bullet and eat it. During the recent Taste MIGF at Berjaya Times Square Hotel, I did manage to check out the Pampas at Old Malaya booth however as I was busy judging various categories, I didn’t have time to try … Continue reading Malaysia International Gastronomy Festival 2016 – Pampas at Old Malaya

Healthy Eats – Chopstick Diner & The Magnificent Seven Movie Review

Tim Chew

[Review]   If you’re a regular reader of this site, you’d notice that I mostly do premium to high-end establishments. While the food is pretty awesome most of the time, the inclusion of a lot of rather fattening ingredients such as cream and foie gras. While they are certainly delicious, they are not the most healthy ingredients around therefore I decided to try something different for a change. Hence I decided to contact the folks from http://www.chockstickdiner.com who very generously delivered a whole bunch of healthy lunch boxes for me to try. Chockstickdiner is an online delivery service delivering healthy … Continue reading Healthy Eats – Chopstick Diner & The Magnificent Seven Movie Review
