Excellent value pizza at Enorme, PJ Centre
Italian food isn't just about pizzas and pastas, though being in Asia, that has evolved be the first food that pops into the mind where an Italian meal is concerned. Deceivingly…
List of Roti Babi in Penang: Pulau Tikus market, Padang Brown, New Cathay, Chuan Bee
Roti Babi isn’t something common.
In Klang Valley one of the VERY FEW places that offers roti babi is Yut Kee and POKC at Damansara Uptown.
Unfortunately the version at Yut Kee is a dismal thick pocket of bread with little meat and some onions. POKC’s version was better but expensive.
Back in Penang I grew up eating the roti babi at Song River Cafe, Gurney Drive and though I remembered it was greasy, the fillings were the bomb.
I haven’t visited the stall since I left Penang more than a decade ago and when I went last month I found out that I’ll never be able to enjoy the roti babi again.
ASUS ZenFone 2 : Short review
Are you ready for my short review of the ASUS ZenFone 2? 🙂
Yes, this is a short post based on my few months’ usage.
Warung Kek – Bakery Joy Taman Megah – Mee Siam, Nasi Lemak breakfast
Back in the days when I consume bread for almost every meal, Bakery Joy was one of my favourite bakeries to fuel my carb laden lifestyle.
The wholemeal tuna buns were my favourite. The buns are long-shaped and stuffed generously with tuna. Common tuna fillings for buns are 60% mayo and 40% actual tuna, but Bakery Joy’s version are non-mayo based and not overly greasy.
Ever since I switched to a low-carb lifestyle my visits to bakeries had dwindled to almost never.
Occasionally I bake my own breads but I don’t do so often either since I don’t consume bread unless I’m absolutely out of alternatives.
I Am 80s Cafe Petaling Jaya
We are always on the lookout for a cafe away from the usual crowded locality of Publika, Hartamas, SS2 and Damansara.
We both write, and we appreciate the occasional change of surroundings that might act as a catalyst for the dreaded writers’ block.
This was an unlikely discovery, for there is no reason for me to be in the neighbourhood but as circumstances would have it, I did went pass this street one day and saw the signboard.
“Oh, wow. A hidden cafe. Looks peaceful here.” I had thought.
Cafe in PJ – Milligram @ Taman Mayang Jaya for pork chops & unique cakes

V Integrated Wellness (VIW) @ The Andaman, Langkawi – yoga retreats, fitness & body-mind classes, healthy cuisine, spa
Langkawi.
The general consensus of this island is cheap beers, nice beaches and a laid-back village vibe.
For those with deep pockets, a few outstanding resorts here would fit the bill for a delightful family holiday or for a fun friends’ getaway, as a couple’s love haven or as a refuge for those seeking time away from city.
Somehow Langkawi isn’t the first destination that comes to mind for those in pursuit of a retreat that is focused on wellness and fitness.
Part of the reason could be due to the fact that not many resorts advocates the wellbeing and health aspect but focuses instead on the food, fun beach activities, family holidays and spas experiences, which is the norm for any island resort.
To many a vacation means letting the hair down and play, relax, eat and enjoy. Who count calories on vacation anyways?
Well, right and wrong.
With the current surge of interest in clean eating, fitness and general well-being both in Malaysia and abroad, there are an increased amount of discerning travellers who travel in search of specific wellness retreats, be it yoga or some form of natural healing therapy.
Staunch ones might even pick one resort over the other based on the wellness facilities.
I have a number of friends who are business travellers and they admit that generally they would opt for a hotel with longer gym opening hours or with the availability of a pool over those without.
I was in Langkawi recently, and stayed at the Andaman, a Luxury Collection Resort under the Starwood brand.
The V Integrated Wellness philosophy, the yoga master, the fitness trainer and the overall resort’s commitment to wellness and holistic therapies caught my interest as it offers an entire different experience from my other travels.
The good news is, the Andaman Langkawi will be leveraging more on its current resources to promote their holistic therapies this 2015, which I think is a timely and marvellous move.
For a start, the resort is flanked by the pristine Datai Bay and an ancient 10 million year old rainforest teeming with exotic flora and fauna, offering a natural setting for all pampering indulgence, amidst the healing properties of nature.
Eating well at Westin Langkawi: Anjung Damai, The Float, buffet breakfast & SuperFoodsRx™
I have been most fortunate that the resorts that I stayed in during my birthday break are holistic and wellness oriented.
At both (The Andaman & Westin Langkawi) I was pampered with wholesome yet delicious food that are prepared in a wide-ranging variety; so much so that I couldn’t possibly have gotten bored even if I’ve stayed for a week.
For this article I will be focusing on the SuperFoodsRx™ option which is available at Westin hotels worldwide.
The menu differs from hotel to hotel, though they share similar traits.
For the uninitiated SuperFoodsRx™ is the name of the movement started by Steven Pratt, MD, the best-selling author of SuperFoodsRx™ and SuperFoodsRxHealthStyle.
It encourages intake of “whole foods,”; meaning ingredients that are unprocessed or minimally processed in such a way that none of their nutritional characteristics have been intentionally modified.
In other words, these ingredients are naturally breed or grown.
