Sentosa Villa @ Taiping, Perak

This is our first post on hotels we have stayed.

Taiping - 2 Days 1 Night

Taiping, situated in between Ipoh and Penang, is the city which has the most rainfall in Malaysia. If you are looking for a relaxing trip with a sense of nature and tranquility, Taiping is the place where you should be. It is easily accessible via the North-South Highway.

Naan Corner @ Ampang, KL

Being in this multicultural country, we are lucky as we have more than 10 food genres to choose from everyday. If you are a fan of Naan and Tandoori, Naan Corner is definitely where you should be! This stall has more than 30 years of experience in Ampang, beside SPCA. Since our parents' generation, they had been offering authentic Naan and Taandoori, as well as other dishes such as Nasi Kukus, Mee Rebus and others. If you have an international friend who wishes to try Malaysian Indian-Muslim cuisine, this is definitely where you should bring them.

ButterUp @ Seri Kembangan, Selangor

Recently the trend of morning coffee / brunch is rising among us in KL, and we are pretty sure that you definitely have heard of Acme Bar & Coffee, Tous Le Jours, Butter & Beans etc etc. Quite a lot of them are located quite far away from Bukit Jalil / Seri Petaling; thus we may have to get up early and travel all the way to KL for a breakfast / brunch. However, who does not want to have more sleep in the weekends?

Following our discovery of ButterUp in Serdang, it meant heaven for us as it is very nearby for people who come from Bukit Jalil, Seri Petaling or even Seri Kembangan itself. Located within some traditional Chinese coffee shops, this cafe / bakery is not easy to discover if you are not attracted by the exterior design of the building. Hidden pearl among the shells, and we found it!

Restaurant Carbon Brasa (炭世界) @ Puchong, Selangor

This restaurant is located opposite IOI Mall within the IOI Boulevard area. Due to lack of parking space in the area, it took us quite some time to finally decide on visiting this restaurant. From outside, it is not hard to see that the restaurant's decoration is based on a vintage theme.
