Tim Chew

[Restaurant]   Mikasa and I headed over to Villa Danieli in the Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur on 5 July 2017 for the 5-course DRUK MY NIET wine pairing dinner. I was actually at Villa Danieli recently for their Sunday brunch (which you can read here – https://timchew.net/2017/06/23/italian-prosecco-brunch-at-villa-danieli-sheraton-imperial-kuala-lumpur/), however it’s nice to keep up my once a year wine pairing dinner tradition there.

Chef Ricky Parlanti Takes Over the Helm of Prego, The Westin Kuala Lumpur

Tim Chew

[Hotel Happenings]   Mikasa and I recently headed over to Prego at The Westin Kuala Lumpur for the introduction of their new Italian Chef de Cuisine – Chef Ricky Parlanti. Italian cuisine is one of my favourites as I find something really comforting about a nice warm plate of delicious pasta. Being someone who loves cheese also meant that I know how to appreciate traditional Italian dishes like burrata and carbonara, while tiramisu with mascarpone cheese soaked with dark rum or brandy is one of the few desserts that I partake off. Chef Ricky comes from a family with culinary background, and … Continue reading Chef Ricky Parlanti Takes Over the Helm of Prego, The Westin Kuala Lumpur

Italian Prosecco Brunch at Villa Danieli, Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur

Tim Chew

[Review]   Villa Danieli has long been one of my favourite Italian restaurants in Kuala Lumpur, largely due to the fact that it’s a free-standing trattoria hence you don’t feel like you’re walking into a commercial restaurant but more like into a Tuscany styled Italian cottage in the countryside. Of course through the years chefs have come and gone hence the style of the dishes changes a bit – from very traditional to the slightly more modern (while keeping to the authentic fundamentals of Italian cuisine of course) and everything in between.     I was very blessed to be … Continue reading Italian Prosecco Brunch at Villa Danieli, Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur
