Ramadhan Buffet @ Dorsett Regency KL

This is review #3 out of a 13-Part Food Blog Post Series from my recent trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from the 4th – 9th August 2011 🙂 I couldn’t have timed my trip to Malaysia any better. When I arrived in Kuala Lumpur, it was just the first week of the Ramadhan month, when Muslims fast and refrain from eating, drinking, and most other “pleasures” including sexual intimacy with their partners during daylight hours – instead focusing that time to offer up more prayer than usual. Basically it is their time for reflection, purity and worship. How does this … Continue reading Ramadhan Buffet @ Dorsett Regency KL

Heritage Food Village @ Lot 10

This is review #2 out of a 13-Part Food Blog Post Series from my recent trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from the 4th – 9th August 2011 🙂 I love hawker stalls and street food… but sometimes I dread the fact that in order to enjoy authentic hawker food I have to put up with the hot and humid Malaysian weather since most hawker stalls are out in the open or in coffee shops aka kopitiams (local styled restaurants) with no air conditioning. So hotttt… SO, when I found out that right in the heart of Bukit Bintang, located at … Continue reading Heritage Food Village @ Lot 10

El Cerdo at Werner’s Place

This is review #1 out of a 13-Part Food Blog Post Series from my recent trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from the 4th – 9th August 2011 🙂 The great thing about food in Malaysia is actually also the great thing about food in Melbourne… diversity. Yes, you would probably expect me to blog all about Malaysian street food and the local delicacies, trust me I will get to that. Since I am blogging in chronological order, let’s start from my first night in KL! I literally went straight from the airport, to hotel check-in, to a quick freshen up, … Continue reading El Cerdo at Werner’s Place

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: Upcoming Food Blog Posts

Hello everyone! I’m writing from my cousin’s place in Kuala Lumpur (KL), Malaysia. Today is my last day here in KL and I’m just killing some time at her place due to absolute exhaustion (and satisfaction) and no longer have the urge nor need to shop until I literally drop… hehe. Staying at the Dorsett Regency KL in the popular Bukit Bintang area meant everything was within close proximity and shopping malls and food places were conveniently located within walking distance. It’s been a wonderful trip, did LOTS of eating so I thought I’d write a quick blog post to … Continue reading Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: Upcoming Food Blog Posts

Birthday / Christmas Party Weekend in Sydney .. and a special surprise!

Hello everyone! I know I said I might be “MIA” for a while but the cruise is still 4 days away and I’ve just had a pretty exciting weekend I would like to share with all of you! Apologies for the quality of the photos in this post – they are not as “fancy” or as “vibrant” as my usual photos taken with my DSLR… and that’s because all photos in this post were taken with my BlackBerry Torch mobile phone. This post will not be my usual Kimba’s Kitchen blog post anyway, so I won’t be posting it up … Continue reading Birthday / Christmas Party Weekend in Sydney .. and a special surprise!

Sydney Part 2: WildFire Restaurant

Hello again everyone! I really hope you guys have enjoyed reading my previous blog post featuring Nu’s Restaurant in Sydney. I’ve also had some really good comments on the pictures I took of the city at night. If you’re curious, my camera is a Canon EOS 550D and I only got it about a month ago as you can read in this blog entry. So, back to Sydney – I was up bright and early the next day and the view were still breathtaking. I just don’t know how people who live in Sydney just get “immune” to how beautiful … Continue reading Sydney Part 2: WildFire Restaurant
