Asian Food Channel will be premiering a brand new series – Discover Perak, on Monday 22 August 2011 at 8pm. This new Malaysian travelogue series features Malaysiaʼs very own emcee/host/writer Xandria Ooi, as she goes on a gastronomic search for great food and unique specialties in the state of Perak in Malaysia.

My thoughts of this programme? What took them so long?!
If anything, I think AFC should have a series featuring food of every state in the country!

Anyhow, Perak is a good start & as I have told Xandria & Chef Julie, I’m looking forward to this series to unearth some unique & unknown delicacies of Perak. And I might even organize a food trip, with my itinerary based on this 8 -part series. Anyone game to join me??

Domaine Chandon was established by French champagne house Moët & Chandon in 1986 and is dedicated to the production of Méthode Traditionnelle sparkling wine and premium quality, cool-climate still Victorian wines.

Set in the verdant hills of Victoria’s beautiful Yarra Valley, just a short drive from Melbourne, the winery attracts more than 110,000 visitors a year. And I can see why, as I didn’t want to leave after my 2 hours tour was up. Crisp cool air & total serenity surrounded the entire area. Lovely!

Recently, Chandon’s winemaker, Lilian Carter was especially flown in for an event to talk us through about the winemaking process.

Ramadan Buffet 2011 – One Malaysia Feast – The Mill @ Grand Millennium Hotel, Bukit Bintang

The One Malaysia Feast that’s available daily at The Mill, Grand Millennium Hotel’s trendy all-day dining restaurant offers a concentrated selection of really delicious & well prepared recipes versus quantity.

After chowing through numerous buffets lately with mind-boggling selections, I realized that while variety is good, Malaysian diners’ favourites remained at a few sections; mostly Japanese, roasted meats & then probably the section of Western cuisine. Italian (pasta & pizzas specifically) is another good bet. At the end of it all, delectable & gorgeous desserts rounded up the meal nicely.

And the best thing is? All of that was precisely what was offered at The Mill.

I walked in, and saw all my favourites – starting with the LAMB!!

Glistening, tender juicy slices of lamb got me salivating while I was busy clicking away with my camera. It tasted as good as it looks, and perfect with some mint jelly.

The Ramadan Buffet at the Westin stood out for me for one primary reason.

Yes, you saw right! DURIANS were part of the fruits spread!!! Not just ice cream, or cream, or pureed version, but actual pulps of sultry, creamy durians! HEAVEN!

Here I decided to get creative with my ais kacang.
Check out my masterpiece – dollop of icy ice-cream, all condiments available thrown in & top it up with pulps of durians! Who says only durian chendol works?

Many thanks to the friendly Chef who realized my affinity for durians, I was served 2 scoops of pungent creamy durian ice cream at my table too~
