Start a day with a hearty breakfast. It's mostly self service. Staff are generally ok .

The first cuppa of the day at Departure Lounge, Solaris Mont Kiara. Craving badly for coffee after the previous day's symposium where its coffee left a lot to be desired when caffeine was very much needed.

Yut Kee is one of the grand old lady of the Kuala Lumpur kopitiam scene having been established since 1928. Today it's being run by the third generation of the family.

Perhaps pork isn't the best way to kickstart a Sunday as a substitute for the usual brunch options. A day filled with food, caffeine and GPS navigation.

El Faro, two promising dishes, followed by a series of free-fall off the cliff - not in a good way.

The satisfying dinner on the road was a much needed boost before the long drive. Already missing Foret Noire, and 1UP pizza. Oh, and not forgetting the addictive cuppa.

One of the most wonderful spread of buffet lines in Penang, ranging from local delicacies to international favorites.

Bad

Love the non-ending supply of sashimi. The quality of the cooked dishes was so-so, expecting much more for the price paid. The grilled salmon belly was inconsistent as 1 of the 2 pieces was just right - tender flesh with mouth-watering layer of fat; whereas the other one was extremely dry and flaky. Lamb was tough and chewy. The chef had a hitch with my pesto spaghetti order - he left out the pepper and loaded my pasta with salt. They gave me a 50% off for the mistake, though I must say I'm not placated. The food was a disappointment. I was anticipating for a much better buffet experience with the long-standing and well-established name of E&O. Staff was friendly and attentive though.

Patio – Bar de Tapas

Cuisines Western

Would most probably return again to have a taste of their menu. Haven't tried those yet as their kitchen was closed throughout the event. I've heard nice things about their sangria.
