Spice Garden @ Highlands Hotel, Genting Highlands

Nowadays, when we made our way up to Genting Highlands, we would be scratching our heads when it comes to dinner time.


Consider this place if you would like to try something new to get your tastebuds seduced & tantalized... by spices.. & be prepared for a splurge.


Spice Garden currently has four branches in Malaysia and from what we heard they serve delectable authentic Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine. Genting's branch has an intimate atmosphere.





Indian and middle eastern cuisine boasts a distinctive flavour and aroma & we were excited to try.Their Tandoori dishes are marinated in yoghurt with herbs and spices and then cooked in the tandoor kept at a very high temperature with burning charcoal.


Mango Lassi - RM10.90
Just decent - too much yoghurt over mango. Still incomparable to Tetra's @ Klang.







Fish Tikka Achar - RM12.90







Tandoori Chicken (medium spicy) - RM25.90







Chicken Malai (Medium spicy) - RM27.90







Dal Sultani - RM21.90
We thought this was kinda overpriced. But the dal rocks! Flavours drenched with herbs and spices. Goes great with the naans.







Assorted Bread Basket (loaded with a variety flavours of naan) - RM35.90







Plain Briyani - RM16.90







Verdict: a great place to dine if you don't mind spending more. Distinctive flavours and very memorable. Anyhow, everything seems to be pricey in Genting. *wink*

POCO Handmade, Café & Atelier @ Lorong Kurau, Bangsar

I just 'lomograph-ied' our photos to match poco. hee.

Simple, contented, minimal with cuteness x 100.
Whatever cosy adjectives that pops into your mind fits poco handmade, cafe & atelier perfectly.




We've always drawn towards conceptual eateries and what's behind Poco?
Love Story. aww...


#1 LOVE & deco
Here's their little story:
Poco was managed by a couple in their 20's; zzz & mermer
zzz wanted to spend all his time with mermer in the little world that they have created for themselves and they would like to share it with others. Having the same passion, they decided to open a quaint café of their own that also sells handmade handicrafts.


Their cafe incorporates styles similar to Victorian-styled bakeries featured in Japanese animation. With and exterior of white and baby blue, their outlet exposed an innocent calm that makes it stand out cutely.




The déco is a little Japanese, a little French and oh! a little Spanish too as poco means “little” in Spanish.

Bali Day 4: Pasar Seni Sukawati, Kintamani, Pura Tirta Empul & Tegalalang

Continued from Bali Day 3......

After enjoying our beauty sleep at Green Field, Ubud, we continued our last day itinerary. Time just swift by quicker especially when you're on a holiday.

Our Day 4 was spent on more last minute shopping & more sight seeing.

#1 Shopping at Pasar Seni Sukawati

Travelling to Ubud, be it the mountain areas of Bali or to the East coast of the island, you will inevitably pass through the market town of Sukawati. We would say it would be a smart choice to shop here as most of the items you buy on the streets of Kuta, Legian or Seminyak originated from here.

Paintings, wood carvings, girls' accessories e.g bags, blings or sandals, you could bargain down to a very surprising price :)

Mid-Autumn is here!

The joyous Mid-Autumn or Mooncake Festival is around the corner and we bet many families are celebrating it over the weekend!


Gatherings with traditional lanterns, with candles lit and mooncake of course, for the festival of moon worship. This is known as a time of the year when moon is at its “fullest”; that is visually most large and bright.

Auntie Lora Prawn Mee @ Jalan Pudu

We're now a big fan to Tung Sing @ Kajang when it comes to breakfast with black coffee, nasi lemak, toast and half-boiled eggs on weekends.

Broke the routine when dad decided to give us a ride, heading down to Jalan Pudu for a taste of one of his fave Prawn Noodle.

A small stall tucked in Jalan Pudu behind the Pudu wet market, towards Jalan Cheras, in between Win Son Coffee Shop & next to Thean Fah hardware shop; known as Auntie Lora.

Chris love his Prawn Mee broth rich in flavour and colouring from prawn shells, patiently sauteed to deep ruby brown. So do I.
