A Malaysian Dream: My Colonial Cafe Review

I’ve stumbled upon a hidden gem lately, and I feel it’s my public duty to share it with you. Firstly, it involves food (of course). Secondly, it involves possibly the best food in the world (did I just write that? Just going with my emotions here)… Malaysian cuisine. Omg… the food of Malaysia… sigh. The…

Why You Should Visit The Cameron Highlands ASAP

If you know me, you’ll know I love the Cameron Highlands. Living in KL can sometimes turn into a bit of a hot, sweaty mess, and knowing that a European escape is but a mere 3 hours away is inexplicably calming. It’s like a whole new world; one where there’s no traffic, no pollution, and…

I’m In Love With The Cameron Highlands

Recently I’ve been feeling a bit like a chicken in a pen: cooped up. Since coming back from Melbourne in late March, we hadn’t left our little enclave, and I was starting to feel it. Not that our life in Malaysia is bad — far from it. In fact, my unsettled-ness might be because I’ve lost…

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…

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,…

All of My Stuff From Korea Finally Arrived and I Think I’m Going to Pass Out

Just wanted to give y’all a little update on my life. A few weeks ago, I was really missing Korea. Like, really really. I dragged Gav along to Sunway Pyramid Mall, simply to check out Skinfood and Nature Republic, and I was reminiscing about my adorable students and Korean food and, oh just everything. I…

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…

Discovering Kuala Lumpur

Recently I have had the pleasure of having two of my friends to stay with me (and Gav) in our new digs. It’s been great – is there anything better than hanging out with friends from all over the world in a random third country? I don’t think so (unless you count curry, lemon tart…
