Chrys enjoys exploring places of all sorts, especially places with good food and beautiful scenery. With enough cash and time, she looks for friends to go on roadtrips to widen her world perspective and to go on makan (eating) expeditions to expand her gastronomic vocabulary. Chrys divides her time between the cities of Kuala Lumpur and Sydney. Her verbal and photographic accounts could be found at chryshijing.blogspot.com and are all personal notes to herself, as reminders of what a wonderful journey she has had in life.

Let It Rain Cafe

Business Hour Weekdays 11:00am to 8:00pm Saturday Noon to 6:00pm
Superb

How unique is "Let It Rain"? Or in Mandarin, 下雨吧, which literally means just rain. Like, aiya, just rain la... how apt for the scorching hot weather in KL at the moment. The set up of the cafe is pretty simple and being creative people, there was evident use of recycled and inexpensive material. More importantly, they welcome visitors warmly.

I found out about Le Pont Boulangerie through David, their in-house coffee expert, whom I recently got to know through his smaller venture across the road. Coincidentally, it was their official opening the day I visited his smaller venture with Ray. Too many people and too many cars deterred me from visiting Le Pont to congratulate them.....

Business Hour Monday to Saturday 8:00am to 6:00pm

Superb

Cheryl dabbled in a few things before settling down to start a family and completed a pastry course. During my younger years, Dad would share stories from the office relating to how she was helping Aunty Millie in the kitchen. Rest assured that food here is served from the heart, as Cheryl has been practicing her craft from young.

Midsummer Night Cafe

Business Hour Tuesday to Friday 7:00pm to midnight; Weekends 3:00pm to midnight
Superb

Located above a car workshop, this unassuming cafe is the brainchild and a side hobby/income of Jon, a person who lectures at a local institution. It is obvious from the interior decor that he is someone who is really into the movie business. Or at least, arts and entertainment.

Superb

What is in a name? Well, everything. This cafe is called The Owls Cafe and naturally would carry an owl theme. As I love owls, I love everything in this cafe - the mural, the decor, the teapots, everything! You can say that I instantly had a cafe crush, if there existed such a thing.

Unkaizan Japanese Restaurant

Top 50 Restaurants in Kedah
Cuisines Japanese

Unkaizan enjoys a hillside location with stunning sunset views over the Andaman Sea.

Superb

We found out about Unkaizan through TripAdvisor. It is situated slightly off the main road, on a very steep part of the hill, which made parking the car very interesting. We noticed that some of their wait staff were actually Japanese and immediately we felt, okay, we may end up having a really authentic Japanese experience. Starting with warm towels and green tea with oomph, things were looking promising.

Many KLites and Selangorians purposely make trips to Klang for this dish and everyone would have their personal favourite restaurant. My personal favourite is Restoran Weng Heong in Taman Intan.

Business Hour Mon:12:00pm - 10:00pm, Wed - Sun:12:00pm - 10:00pm
Superb

Apparently, this place was started by three brothers and I had a feeling that either one of them or all of them had some proper Italian cuisine training of some sort because I spied with my little eye the different types of pasta they had! I was impressed at how they made everything from scratch. However, this meant that our food took longer to prepare, which had us waiting for quite some time.

The cafe is operated by two friends. One looked after the floor and drinks while the other looked after the kitchen and hot meals. I do not recall if both or one of them were in New Zealand and incorporated some of the Kiwiness into the cafe.
