Hen Night in Ipoh
My good friend is getting hitched next month. As part of the wedding ritual, me and some girlfriends threw her a hen night party in Ipoh last weekend.
L got her the frenchmaid costume from Bangkok; I got her the beautiful veil from Lovely Lace (RM60); Tiara for the girls (RM2.50 each); some generic games like Truth or Dare, I’ve Never and viola! With 15 sporting hens and a drunken bridezilla in tow, the party turned out to be a blast.

Leonardo’s Dining Room
Exactly one month ago, I have just turned 21. I wish!
Anyway the point is I had a good celebration with some good friends at Leonardo, one of my favourite restaurants in KL. Located on the quieter area of Bangsar on Jalan Bangkung, with its inviting interior and ambience, dimly lit and sometimes can be a little chilly (so don’t wear too skimpy), this restaurant offers a good selection of reasonably priced wine not to mention their fusion twist menu have always lived up to expectation.
Still remember birthday girl was the first to reach the restaurant… the rest subsequently arrived only half an hour later. On a rainy Friday evening, it’s almost impossible to escape the atrocious KL traffic jam.
The evening began with quite a number of starters to share. Among which I find their pork knuckle platter being the champ. It’s their signature dish so I would highly recommend it. They also have an acquired dish called Kentucky Fried Frogs, which I have adventurously ordered but didn’t have the chance to eat! That dish was gone in seconds. O_o

Ristretto, Mont Kiara
The other day my friend Victor was telling me about the latest and bestest coffee in town is located in Mont Kiara. I have been doing a fair bit of house hunting in that area of late but never come across this place called “The Fare”. Anyway it didn’t particularly caught my mind until yesterday, which was a public holiday, and we couldn’t find a place that’s opened for lunch so we decided to give this place a try and called up Vic for directions.
This place is secluded alright. If you are coming from Mt. Kiara and if Baskin Robbins is on your right, keep going till you reach the second turning on right. Turn in and go straight, you will reach Mont Kiara 10 which is still under construction. Ristretto is located at the ground floor of The Fare.
This place instantly earned our brownie points cos it was opened on a public holiday! :)
Avillion Resort, Port Dickson
If you live in KL, ever wonder where is the nearest decent resort that you can escape to? Personally, I find Avillion Resort offers the closest distance and yet secluded enough to be away from the hustle and bustle. Port Dickson beach is crap so don’t bother, but Avillion is a good resort with nice facilities. Their Avispa is commendable.
