🍴 Kowloon in Malaysia
#malaysiatrip
This Hong Kong Kowloon themed restaurant just opened in Starling Mall couple months ago. Did not really have a chance to try it until today!
I got attracted by the Claypot coffee hence I was drawn into having dinner here.
The moment I flipped the menu, I got shocked by the affordable price! And yeap I am going to answer to your next question - yes it is delicious!
Psst! If you order claypot drink @ RM8.90, it can fill up about 2 cups compared to order 1 cup normal ones @ RM8.90.

#createwithtrip
Kam Kee Cafe at the Starling mall is one of my favourite cafe for Polo Bun and traditional Hong Kong Milk Tea.
They restaurant is located on the ground floor of The Starling Mall at Damansara Uptown. It is very easy to find as it is at the entrance of the mall.
The restaurant has the feel of a Hong Kong style cafe and it is normal always pack with customers and it claims to have the best Polo Bum in Kl.
I visited this cafe many times, especially to have a afternoon tea with my bestie.
The restaurant is nicely renovated with bright light and very friendly staff. Besides the Polo Bun, you can try many others Hong Kong style food.
Love this place, do give it a try if you are nearby this area.

The Starling.. favourite mall
When i first settled down in Kuala Lumpur, I lived for few months in uptown, Damansara. Starling Mall still an empty plot of land. Today, it is one of my favourite mall to dine, shop and wait for my friends to pick me up.
It is so conveniently located in the middle part of LDP highway. Surround by lots of shop houses and office buildings. In old days it was impossible to find a park space in uptown, now I can just park inside the mall and it is so convenient for me.
I love the mall for its simplicity and easy to shop. You can find everything here. Be it huge bookstores, fitness centre, cinema, lots of my favourite restaurants, a nice supermarkets, decorating shops, on and on…
Mostly I feel really relax here and I love to book a staycation at the Somerset residence hotel just beside the mall. It is a very nice hotel with a nice designed rooms and infinity pool.
Come.. check it out.. you will love it.

Grill, Slurp & Indulge: Dinner at VeryThai Mookata
#malaysiatrip
During my trip to Malaysia, I had dinner at VeryThai Mookata & Street Food located at The Starling Mall, Petaling Jaya. The restaurant has a cozy and welcoming vibe, perfect for enjoying a hearty meal with family or friends.
Here’s what I ordered:
Pad Thai with Prawn: The noodles were stir-fried perfectly with a mix of tangy and sweet flavors. The prawns were fresh and added a delicious bite to the dish.
Stir-Fried Mama Mee: This was so flavorful! The noodles were springy, and the dish was cooked with a nice blend of vegetables and seasonings.
Mookata Set: This is a must-try for Thai BBQ lovers! The set included marinated chicken, beef slices, shrimp, crab sticks, fish balls, and fresh vegetables. It came with a hotpot base, and it was fun to grill the meat while letting the broth soak up all the flavors.
Cendol & Melon Coconut Milk Desserts: The desserts were a refreshing end to the meal. The cendol was creamy and sweet, while the melon coconut milk dessert was light and fruity with a tropical twist.
If you’re in PJ and craving Thai food, I highly recommend this place!

The cozy reading corners provided a perfect spot to flip through a few pages before making my purchase. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, eager to assist with recommendations. Overall, my visit was a wonderful escape into the world of books, and I left with a few treasures in hand!

🍽️ A Very Thai Place
#kualalumpurtrip
I have been visiting this restaurant recently for work discussion and for lunch.
I usually would order their lunch menu - Garlic Fried Rice with a soup, top up a couple MYR for a beverage (choice of Thai Milk Tea, Pandan Ice Tea, Thai Green Tea etc).
The food quality is consistent across the many times I visited, strongly recommend to come! Not to mention, they do offer Mookata (BBQ + Steamboat) option for dine in.
