Prawn mee is something I’ve recently grown to love, after continuous persuasion from my good friend who hails from Penang. I initially didn’t get why he enjoyed prawn mee that much but once I tried the best in Penang, I was hooked! The broth is sweet and thick, almost like a prawn bisque but minus...
I remember when the 1Malaysia concept came about 5 years ago – I was competing in a national beauty pageant and was forced to pretend to understand what it meant or at least, “wing it” when it came to QA with the press. Frankly, I have no idea why they insisted on the girls championing []...
With Christmas Eve less than 10 days away, we’re probably all hunting for a good place to dine or for restaurants that can supply a turkey large enough to feed the entire family. Mezze offers both options – a sumptuous dinner menu for Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, and a takeaway menu that includes...
Banana leaf rice has become a weekly staple for me, as I love the idea of tucking into curry-laden rice with vegetables and various side dishes. Acha Curry House in Petaling Jaya offers plenty of solace when the craving strikes. I was introduced to this place by rif, who ate here with his colleagues just...
I’ve been eating a lot of Thai food lately, from my two recent trips to Phuket and even when I’m back in KL. It’s strange really; that I can’t ever get sick of Thai cuisine and I don’t see any reason why I would. There are so many varying flavours in this cuisine and no [] The post...
Manmaru, Atria has plenty of potential – a modern Japanese restaurant that focuses on top quality fresh ingredients, fused with a touch of Italian flavours. Seafood is air-flown on a bi-weekly basis and the restaurant produces their own udon with zero preservatives, MSG or artificial colouring. I’ve...
Serai Thai in Shah Alam has a cosy look and feel; a neighbourhood restaurant that has been around for more than 10 years. This is the first outlet by the people behind Serai Group and until today, attracts a steady stream of loyal customers. It was my first time there, along with a large group [] The...
At the mention loh bak, Tan Jetty comes to mind. rif and I bumped into Criz in Penang after lunch at Ka Bee when he told us about this prawn fritters and loh bak place at Tan Jetty, just down the road. We tried it and were instantly hooked; to a point we returned the [] The post Tan Jetty Prawn...
Makan Time in Kota Damansara has been on my must-try list for close to two years – unfortunately overshadowed by the bevy of new food places in Klang Valley. But it was never forgotten, as rif and I made it a point to brave the traffic last Saturday and head to the area to check [] The post Makan...
Ishin Japanese Dining along Old Klang Road has been around for more than 5 years if I remembered correctly – a popular spot for Japanese expats to kick back over sake and beer, coupled with good Japanese food. Until today, Ishin still boasts a steady stream of regulars even on a Sunday, where the place...
If I could only pick one thing to eat in Bukit Mertajam, it would definitely be the duck egg char kuay teow. There’s just something about the char kuay teow that I find incredibly addictive – a delicious mess that comes laden with wok-hei and flavoured with soy sauce and pork lard. There are two...
In my uni days, I often had steamboat dinners in my apartment, regardless of the number of people eating with me. I would even eat steamboat alone, as there’s something soothing about tucking into a potful of soup and condiments. I guess it reminded me of home a little bit as steamboat meals are a...

Thai food happens to be one of my favourites; there’s plenty to like about the assortment of flavours, colours and fiery notes in this cuisine. Tiffin’s in Mid Valley is one of the newest Thai restaurants to open in Klang Valley and given its background (the outlet is managed by the same owners as...
Kali Little Restaurant is a smorgasbord for seafood lovers – a humble restaurant with zinc roof and tattered tablecloths. But what matters at Kali Little Restaurant isnt its facade; it is the food or importantly, the large crabs. They come in various styles – sweet sour, salted fish, kam...
I have a confession – I’m a fried chicken addict. There’s just something about the crispy skin and flesh that glistens in its own juice and oil that makes me drool in excitement. While Lim Fried Chicken makes the cut for one of the tastiest fried chickens in town, there’s another stall that serves...
Im quite the creature of habit a trait I got from my parents, who tend to dine at the same restaurant each week/month. Chakri Palace in KLCC was one of them; a favourite of my father who orders the same dishes every time were there. The menu has since evolved and now comprises modern...
Rail Canteen in Kota Damansara has plenty of potential – run by the family members of the original Kluang Railway Coffee in Johor. The décor at the Kota Damansara outlet is modern yet unpretentious, with plenty of natural light through the large window panels. The place gets pretty packed come lunchtime;...
I was exposed to the world of Peranakan food since I got to know rif, whose father comes from Malacca and grew up the “Baba Nyonya” way. Meals at home comprise chicken pongteh, jiu hu char, ayam buah keluak, popiah, asam prawns and a whole lot more. Which is why I never felt the need [] The post...
