Pigs & Wolf in Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur

-
I just broke a new record last Tuesday. That is the fastest overseas trip that I've ever taken in my life. The record time : approximately 12 hours. Yup! I flew out of Singapore for Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in the morning and was back at Changi International Airport 12 hours after. I have to say the trip left me so exhausted and almost in the brink of collapsing but looking back, it was still a nice adventure all together.

Since I had a bit of time before my scheduled meeting in Kuala Lumpur, I decided to head to my favorite shopping mall -- Pavilion as this is one place I know I won't feel lost and can easily hail a cab to my meeting place right away. Pavilion is located along Jalan Bukit Bintang, the shopping district of Kuala Lumpur. It houses a lot of luxury brands so you can tell immediately that this mall is rather upscale. I like it though as I try to avoid overly crowded malls and walking around Pavilion never fails to give me that sense of peace.

For lunch, I checked out the newly opened section of the mall called Dining Loft. It's at the 7th floor of the mall and I find the mix of restaurants rather trendy. I first spotted Pigs & Wolf which reminded me of the Three Little Pigs nursery rhyme.

What does Pigs & Wolf specializes in? Pork, of course! Not known to many, I'm not really crazy over bacon (sorry friends!), as I prefer to have sausages if given the choice, so it took me a while to choose what to get for lunch that day. Finally, I decided to try the Wolf's Favourite (RM 29) as it's one of the house specialties.

Creamy pasta served with smoked bacon and button mushrooms topped with poached egg and crunchy bacon bits with parmesan cheese. Ooh lala! Such a rich and creamy pasta dish that's similar to a carbonara. This suddenly reminded me of my bacon-loving friends whom I know will love love love this!

Now, let us take a look at that yolk slowly oozing out. Gorgeous, isn't it? The pasta was surprisingly good as I enjoyed the salty kick of the bacon which perfectly contrasted with the creamy sauce. It makes a good comfort dish.

To go with my pasta dish, I tried the Wake Up (RM12) which is a healthy blend of celery, apple, orange and lemon. Slightly similar to may favourite morning ABC drink only it has a tangy aftertaste due to the citrus-y addition. It was quite warm in Kuala Lumpur during the day that I was there so I happily drank this to cool myself down.

Honestly, I entered the restaurant with zero expectations. My main goal was to have lunch and to be able to sit comfortably as I catch up with my work emails. It's one of those moments that I thought I'll just eat. Didn't expect the food would leave a lasting mark, good enough to push me to blog about it. Well, Pigs & Wolf did more than that. The superb service of the staff, the delicious pasta dish that I ordered, and the refreshing drink that I enjoyed left me in such a happy state afterwards.

Check out Pigs & Wolf at Level 7, Dining Loft at Pavilion KL, Jalan Bukit Bintang in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Call them at +60 3-2110 4438.

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
