Uncle Kun Lunar New Year Goodies 根叔年糕 With Video

Seeing that Lunar New Year is just around the corner, I thought The Silver Chef should do a blog on something relating to the festive season.

And what better way to do this post than to talk about Uncle Kun's special Lunar New Year Goodies, which is only available until the eve of Chinese New Year.

Caffe Vivo at Pavillion Kuala Lumpur With Video

Within the vast confines of Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, there seems to be a number of choices for Italian fare, and we decided to try out Caffe Vivo on the uppermost level on a Saturday afternoon.

Indeed, Caffe Vivo did have the classic Italian furnishings and did feel quite cosy and comfortable. The staff were, however, a mixed bag.

Straits Chinese Nonya Restaurant With Video - Classic Nyonya Cooking in 313 Somerset

It is always hard to find nyonya food in the mainstream, and apart from Ivins which has a number of outlets in various parts of the island, it is hardly easy to find peranakan food in town.

So, it was with great curiosity when we spotted this nyonya outlet right in the middle of a food court in 313 Somerset. We had put off a few times trying it simply because of the price, which was hardly food court standards.

Butter Wine Poached Ribeye

It was one of those weekends where we realised that we had a couple of ribeye steaks still in the freezer, that had been there for about a fortnight.

Those steaks were really thick and huge, and it was one of those times that one had to improvise to get yourself a really decent meal, otherwise you would have ended up with badly undercooked steaks.

Old Town White Coffee With Video

It is ironic that despite having some outlets here in Singapore, that we only finally got to visit an Old Town White Coffee outlet in Kuala Lumpur during one of our lunch breaks there.

This particular outlet is situated in the heart of Central Market, and every Old Town White Coffee outlet has that old kopitiam charm about it, albeit in air conditioned surroundings.

The Handburger at 313 Somerset

It's been awhile since we had a good burger, and my previous post on the Fergburger did prove to be one of my most read posts. So, we decided to head to 313's The Handburger place to try it out.

We had heard so much about this gourmet burger joint, and had previously walked past this place many times during our shopping stints in 313.

Shook! at Starhill Gallery With Video

Opposite of Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, we also discovered this very posh and luxurious shopping mall called Starhill Gallery, which houses all the famous brands like Louis Vuitton and Chanel.

With such a classy surrounding, it was only fitting that we had a great dining experience there, and we found exactly just that in the Feast Village located on the basement of this marvelous mall.

The Loaf at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur With Video

While in Kuala Lumpur, we were looking around for a good breakfast place one morning, and while most shops were still closed at Pavilion, there was this posh looking bakery that caught our eye.

The Loaf is situated very near the main entrance to Pavilion and is a very nice looking cafe and bakery, with some alfresco seating area and some bench seating inside.
