Dian Huo Xin Wo – good steamboat in PJ – review

It’s been a while since I last had a steamboat meal.

If you don’t already know, I’m very picky with my food. While I can tolerate MSG to a certain extent (well, when you dine out often, you have to!), I tend to steer clear of soup based meals like noodles and steamboat as most proprietors are liberal with the use of MSG to flavour the broth.
Many claimed to be absolutely MSG-free, but I beg to differ after dining at the said outlets.

And thus my steamboat meals are limited to perhaps once a year, and likely one that’s home-based and hosted by a friend.

HONDA: the All-New Jazz – fun day of defensive and safe driving

It was an educational “women’s day out” with Honda Malaysia at their recently organized ‘Be SAFE & SMART in STYLE with the All-New Jazz’ session.

The aim of the exercise was to educate the fairer gender the importance of being safe, smart and defensive on the road but in a outgoing and easy-to-digest manner.
This was achieved through a practical hands-on experience session with the versatile All-New Jazz plus a informative presentation by Harvinder of Driven and paultan.org.

Five Sen5es, Westin Kuala Lumpur – Celebrating Chinese New Year with Phoon Choy

For a porky Chinese New Year feast right in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, the Five Sen5es at Westin KL is a worthy consideration.

Expect refinement in presentation and premium ingredients plus a very good variety of traditional Chinese New Year delicacies that remained close to age-old recipes.
Assuredly, your mum, grandmother and that fussy grand-aunt would approve.
