Yauatcha by TVP

Hello foodies! My name is Reena and I am a food blogger from The Veggie Perspective. I was delighted when the lovely girls at fEastToWest invited me to share a guest blog post. As a fellow foodie, I am a big fan of fEastToWest and regularly visit the blog to see the latest restaurants the girls have been feasting at! I focus on the vegetarian side of things and I would like to share my recent experience at Yauatcha City.

Dishoom

I have wanted to try out Dishoom since it first landed in London. There are now a few outlets of this well-loved chain of Irani cafes which mimic those of Bombay. However, it is notoriously difficult to get a table. You can book for breakfast (the menu looks amazing!) and lunch, but not for dinner unless you're a big group. This means an inevitable queue. Having tried and failed to get into the Kings Cross branch on a Saturday evening, we tried the Covent Garden restaurant straight after work on a week day. Success! We still had to wait for 20 mins (at 6pm!) but we were given a hot chai in the queue, and then seated at the bar to wait for our tables.

Pince & Pints

September 2016 Update

As a fan of both lobster and laksa, I knew I had to rush over to Pince & Pints when I heard that they were rolling out the unique lobster laksa in conjunction with national day.

Mei by Fat Spoon

Mei by Fat Spoon, run by the same people behind the very popular Fat Spoon in Damansara Uptown, is essentially a fusion-y Japanese Restaurant in Desa Sri Hartamas.  I've been there for lunch on a couple of occasions and this is what I had:

Hokkaido Scallop & Lychee Carpaccio

Chiltern Firehouse

I went to Chiltern Firehouse for brunch a few weekends ago. I have to say I was incredibly surprised at how easy it was to reserve a table. I called mid-week and voila! I had a table for two. I think that dinner may be harder to book.

Weekend Brunchin' In KL - Part 3: Antipodean Bangsar

I'll come right out and say it: Antipodean in Bangsar is one of my favourite breakfast/brunch places.  Its food is unpretentious (and "hits the spot", as they say) and the service is quick and friendly.  What more could a hungry customer want?!

Scrambled eggs with feta & spinach on toast

Gigi's

On Friday I dined at Gigi, a contemporary Italian restaurant tucked in the corner of Woodstock Street in Mayfair. Home to the most expensive cocktail in the world, Gigi is a sleek modern restaurant and bar. Unfortunately, despite the promising menu and plush surrounding, I did end up leaving somewhat disappointed.
