Tea & Me: A Love Story

I’m in love with tea. It’s true; it’s been a long time coming, and for the keen observer, it’s pretty obvious. I’ve never tried to hide it, although my interest has admittedly waxed and waned over the years. But I recently made a commitment to renew my passion for this divine drink, and by golly,…

Dining at Jason’s Food Hall, Bangsar Shopping Centre

Hi friends! Long time no chat. This year, we’ve popped over to Australia twice (because why not? Also, weddings) and I my focus has been slightly sapped. And by slightly I mean totally — I’ve let work get in the way of my creative life once again… and that just does not work for me!…

KL Cuisine #5: Bedrock Cafe, Subang Jaya

A little while ago, I had a real urge to get out of my little expat bubble and try somewhere a bit new. By ‘new’ I mean ‘a nice, clean Uber ride away to still delicious food’. I actually gave Gav my phone to scroll through the ‘Malaysian Cafes’ feed, and he stumbled across an amazing-looking…

KL Cuisine #4: Chilli Espresso, Bangsar South

If there’s one thing I love more than food, it’s… nothing. I love nothing more than food, okay?!? I have recently been thoroughly enjoying eating my way through Kuala Lumpur, and I must say that I’ve become pretty darn good at it. There is one spot in particular that I’ve found does excellent food, consistently,…

KL Cuisine #2: Yeast Bistronomy, Bangsar

Yesterday Gav and I had a luxurious Sunday, despite him being sick and me also seeming to have caught his cold. Wild times! We remedied our situation by treating ourselves to brunch, and thought we would check out Yeast Bistronomy in Bangsar Village. A friend had recommended this to us and we were curious to…

KL Cuisine #1: Third Wave Cafe, Bangsar South

Sooo, before I left Korea, I started a brief but glorious series called Guri Greats. I actually have a lot more places to post about, but seeing as I’m not living there anymore… It’s kinda hard. Anyway, I decided to start something similar for my time in Kuala Lumpur, especially because there are so many…

How to Shift Annoying Winter Weight (From Someone Who Knows)

About five years ago, I changed up my complete eating habits and lost about 10kg. That is a lot of weight to lose, and sometimes when I think about it, I can barely believe it. However, it happened, and I really like knowing that I did it all by myself. Just before I left Korea,…

4 Ways to Stay Happy in Winter

I have a confession to make: I’m one of those people. Someone who claims, “my favourite season is winter, I just love how fresh and cold and snuggly everything is!”. Now, while this is all true (does it get any snugglier than 6 layers plus a beanie and furry gloves? No, it does not), living…

How Milk Ruins Your Skin

So I’ve decided to give up milk (again). Now, when I say “give up”, I initially meant it loosely and forgave myself if I ever reneged on this promise. However, after my episode a little while ago where milk completely destroyed my appetite and my body for a good 5 days, I’ve since given up on being easy on…
