Food blog : Jordan Hong Kong (@ Sunway Pyramid)
Tried out one of the HK restaurants with my wife recently. The outlet is situated on the top floor of Sunway Pyramid shopping mall (outside Jusco).

The Bread Bar (@ TTDI)
The Bread Bar is an interesting concept cafe that was opened in late 2021, just right before Christmas. Due to its far back location in TTDI (behind Al-Bidayah and CIMB all the way to the back), it was a walking exercise for me and my colleagues whenever we wanted to go try out the breads […]

Food blog : Kim Gary (@ Sunway Pyramid)
Honestly, this is not a new review but decided to blog about this in 2022 as Kim Gary has always been around in Sunway Pyramid for a long time.
