Love and Hate KL

It's a love and hate relationship that I have with good old KL. I grew up in this town, and I say town because I have lived in the big city - New York City. You can't really compare the two, but as I start to feel the cold coming on in the city, I was thinking about my little town.... The Positive first. I Love KL. Food! Any Malaysian would tell you that. Family and Amazing Friends Large air conditioned Shopping Malls Warm all year round... Easy to Travel! Close to Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia...the list goes on Stylish People & Lifestyles Celebrations & Festivities *Hari Raya, Chinese New Year, Deepavali... Highways I Hate You. It's just too small. Everyone knows what you're up to, including your nosy relatives. Expensive Groceries! (I love to cook, so this sucks) Thai Food sucks here.....and I love Thai food! Mat Rempit (Sleezy Biker dudes/gangstas) they need their own category. Apparently Bath Tubs are not in every home or apt..

Where Thai Art Thou? Bangkok Beat Bistro Empire Subang

My quest for real good Thai food in Malaysia is really depressing me.

Well, it's pretty darn close. After all I have been to Thailand and have had their pad Thai in the streets....so why can't I seem to find the same simple Thai dishes in Malaysia?

Very New York, or very industrial. Unfortunately the food was just half okay. You know how you always test a restaurant by the most simple dish? Like if it's a Chinese place and they can't make a good Chinese fried rice then chances are the rest of the menu sucks? Sadly, BBB misses the beat on this one. I went on 2 occasions, first

Concrete Jungle

I was going through some old photos and realized all the fun I have had in the past few years of my life in New York City. I was surrounded by amazing people, great friends, an apartment I loved and endless things I could do and places I could see and not to mention NYC is foodie heaven. I know it sounds like a dream. It felt like I was living in a dream sometimes. I would stroll in Central Park or walk the Brooklyn Bridge and smile to myself thinking 'Wow, I can't believe I live here.' It was not always perfect - NYC is not for everyone. It's fast-paced, it's dirty, it's dingy, people can be crazy, the train is disgusting (and always late!), the weather is bipolar and yes, it's expensive to live here. You can list plenty of negative things but that's the beauty of New York though. In all it's mess and craziness, it's an amazing city to live in - as the saying goes, if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. It literally is a concrete j
