Sasha Rowena’s creations at Jendela KL in Starhill Gallery – A Journey Through Time 2010

Luscious colours, imaginative contrasts and unorthodox inspiration give Sasha Rowena’s creations a distinctive flair of their own. What really sets them apart, however, is the strong incorporation of local culture into her designs. Rowena weaves an East-meets-West thread through all her work, fusing contemporary materials and flamboyant colours with traditional influences that give her designs an international appeal.

Shook! KL, Starhill Gallery – “A Journey Through Time 2010” Dinner

After having my eyes dazzled & brains fuzzled (with the prices) during the media tour (POST HERE –check out the brilliant craftmanship of the watches & jewelleries) , we were treated to a scrumptious dinner at Shook! KL.

Not just another western dinner; mind you, but a superbly executed fusionised menu, with clever amalgamation of local ingredients & western presentation, such as the “sushi” in the amuse bouche below.

Amuse Bouche – Serunding Maki, Satay Kajang.

Bee Won Korean Restaurant – Korea Town, Ampang

I would list Bee Won Korean Restaurant under one of my “highly recommended” Korean restaurants in KL.

Bee Won (1)

For starters, Bee Won serves one of the best banchan among all Korean restaurants I have tried (by a rough estimation I think I have tried about 15 so far) & I personally opine that good fresh bachan is an important criteria for rating a Korean joint.
For PJ area, a strong contender for best Korean is Korea House in SS2 (post up soon!). Both of these Korean restaurants offers seriously homely, authentic Korean cuisine in good portions and they came tagged with reasonable prices to boot.

Bachan: Small in portion but big in variety. Oh, it is refillable too. I love ’em!
