Palazzo Maffei Wine Pairing Dinner at a’Roma Dinings

Tim Chew

[Events] Joanne and I recently attended the Palazzo Maffei wine pairing dinner which was held at a’Roma dining which is located in a quiet corner of Taman Paramount in Petaling Jaya. It was my first time visiting a’Roma dinings which started operations in December 2015. This Italian cuisine restaurant has a rustic, old Italy vibe with dark wood furniture, a hand-painted Colliseum mural, and slow music – making it an ideal spot for a casual date or dining with family/ friends. Actually there are not many such establishments in this area of Petaling Jaya therefore the restaurant is a viable … Continue reading Palazzo Maffei Wine Pairing Dinner at a’Roma Dinings

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

Tim Chew

[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
