Located at: Sunway Pyramid Mall, Bandar Sunway, Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia Visited on: 03rd October, 2022 Although Chizu is best known for its cheese tea, what we tried (and loved) was their cheesecake.

The Asia Diaries: Tamarind Hill
Located at: 19 Jalan Sultan Ismail, Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Visited on: 29th September, 2022 Nothing much had changed since we last visited Tamarind Hill about ten years ago.
