For a full pork UNLIMITED dim sum feast in an air conditioned environment, do head over to Five Sen5es, Westin KL.
Chinese New Year Menu 2013: Five Sen5es, Westin KL
Formerly known as EEST, Five Sen5es is a non-halal Chinese Restaurant in the heart of Westin Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. This is my 2nd visit to Five Sen5es, the first for dinner to experience their “Five Sensory Rooms” and to sample their ala-carte menu . Tonight would be a preview of their upcoming Chinese New Year offerings.
Those who prefers a relaxing and intimate dining experience will definitely like this place, as the layout is definitely not your typical chinese restaurant.
Five Sen5es @ The Westin, KL
Five Sen5es @ The Westin, KL features a weekend All-You-Can-Eat Simply Dim Sum Lunch for RM68++ that I have been eyeing for quite some time now. During a recent visit, I was told that the Simply Dim Sum Lunch is valid on weekdays too; at a very reasonable price of RM48++ though selection may be slightly limited.
Now if any of you here wants to join me for the dim sum on a beautiful Sat/Sun morning, please give me a holler ok? 🙂 I have been craving for dim sum!
That aside, I was at Five Sen5es recently for dinner. Why the name Five Sen5es is a common question on everyone’s lips and I got the same query from my friends. Basically, the previous EEST of Westin KL as we know is now Five Sen5es with a revamped menu and a rather interesting concept of using all your sensory signatures of sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell as you dine.
Let me illustrate this.
When I stepped into Five Sen5es recently my Five Sen5es experience begun with touring 5 different rooms. Each room serves to bring out one of your sensory system. We started with..
TASTE.
Paradise Inn, Sunway Pyramid
2012 seems to be the year for the invasion of Singaporean F & B franchises; with The Soup Restaurant and Putien opening @1 Utama and now Paradise Inn at Sunway Pyramid.
Though I heard of Paradise Inn first (even before The Soup Restaurant or Putien) via fellow food blogger Sean, it took me a while to step in here as the location wasn’t as convenient as 1 Utama for me.

IKEA Swedish Meatballs – Ikea Singapore vs Ikea Malaysia
One of the things I like to do when I’m in other countries is to visit a food chain; especially those that has branches or franchises in more than 1 country.
Besides providing appealing content for a blogpost; it’s an interesting eye-opener to myself as well as my blog readers to know how in other countries, food chains tailors their menus to suit a specific country and it’s food culture.
A while back I was in Sg for a quick trip. Someone told me Ikea Singapore serves pork on it’s menu. Even better, that person told me specifically there are pork meatballs!
So yes, I hopped into Ikea just to have the meatballs. Don’t ask me if the furniture stock in Ikea Singapore is any different from the ones in Malaysia. I wouldn’t know! But I do know that the meatballs is different! 😀

Neroteca @ The Somerset, KL – Italian Meats and Wines and a PORK feast!
In celebration of Chinese New Year and the 2012 auspicious Year of the Dragon, Neroteca presents a range of Italian meat delights, with authentic flavors of lamb, pork and beef based cuisines.
Now, porky Italian joints are not many, and good ones are even fewer and far in between.
The Hungry Hog, Subang – Pork Burgers, Bangers & Mash & Pork Ribs!
Hello Hellloooo!!
OMGGGGG… he’s such a cute little piggy isn’t he? 
It’s a bit surreal to go gaga all over these cute memorabilias of the swine and yet, 20 minutes later you’re heartily tucking into dishes that are made out of these cute little piggies…
but I digress….
My pork burger radar bought me here to the unfamiliar territory of SS15 Subang.
The Hungry Hog (total approval awarded for such an original name!) is not at the popular stretch of SS15; where the Asia Cafe and Snowflakes are located but it occupies a lot at the quieter side along rows of shophouses.
Hagen Bake & Brew, Mont Kiara – one of the best bakery in KL!
UPDATE: Hagen Bake and Brew no longer offers the breads as below. It is still in operation, but more on dine-in meals.
In continuation of my wholesome – eating post about French chef Lawrence at The Banjaran Hot Springs & Resorts, I’m following up today with this “healthy bread” post. I’m not sure what hit me, but I’m now overcome by a sudden urge to write about healthy food!
**My weekly bread stash –> Yeah, that’s how much bread I eat in ONE week!
My previous article on Craft Bakers at Solaris Dutamas had garnered much response about the lack of good artisan, hearty European-type breads in KL. I find it heartening to know that there are like-minded people who refuse to be subjected to fluffy, empty & commercialized loaves from Bread Story, Gardenia and the likes. Thank god there are still bread lovers out there who value quality, well-baked dough.
