When the Le Meridien team told me they were planning to revamp my favourite buffet place in town – Latest Recipe – I was sceptical and to a point, hoping they didn’t go through with that plan. Because it meant I wouldn’t be able to dine there for a few months (three to be exact) [...] The post...
The fish head curry stall at Sin Hiap Kee is Pudu is much talked about among my colleagues; they claim it is among the best in Klang Valley. I’ve visited the place twice thus far, once with my colleagues and the second visit with rif. On both occasions, photos were taken using my Lumia 1520 [...] The post...
Yashi-no-me is not an easy restaurant to find, tucked in corner of an alley in Wisma Cosway. The name stands for coconut in Japanese but this quaint little café has little or nothing to do with the fruit. The décor is a mishmash of wooden tables, leather sofas, tinted windows, old TV set and gaudy [...]...
When there’s mention about coffee, I often hear the words “Three Little Birds”, a café that is reputed to serve one of the best coffees in town. Run by the folks behind Artisan Roast, this cosy spot in Sentul D7 has won the hearts of many – come on a weekend and you’ll find many [...] The post...
I was recommended to Restoran 52 in Semenyih by a good friend who claimed this place one of the best tai chow spots around the area. She was right – our lunch was good! The restaurant is known for their curry fish head and Guinness pork ribs, which we ordered along with other dishes. Parking [...] The...
When it comes to food blogging, I take recommendations quite seriously as they help shape the content for my blog. One of my readers suggested that I try Go Thai in SS2 after I blogged about Frame Thai last month, so I did. Go Thai serves Thai street food, similar to Frame Thai but in [...] The post Go...
When rif and I run errands in PJ State, we often eat at Kam Heong as the wantan mee is pretty good. He recently spotted a newly opened bak kut teh shop around the corner called Ho Say Klang Bak Kut Teh, which we managed to try last week. This isn’t your typical bak kut [...] The post Ho Say Klang Bak Kut...
Rama V in Jalan U-Thant sports an updated menu with new dishes to complement the old signatures, which I had the privilege of trying. It is a restaurant that holds good memories for me – weddings, events and get together with friends and loved ones were held here. Among the appetizers, Rama V Papaya Salad...
Rendez-Vous in Bangsar Park offers traditional French cuisine without putting a hole in the wallet, an attempt to change the perception of French food being pricey. While we drive past Bangsar Park fairly often, rif and I only tried it early this year when we were out on a date night. True to their claim,...
Baked eggs can be enjoyed in various ways; some eat it with prosciutto, some with cream and cheesewhile I like mine with a little bit of spinach (and everything else). While I like to think I’ve mastered the art of making baked eggs, it’s good to explore the options available outside of home –...
For someone whos born and bred in Bangsar, I thought doing a Top 10 Food to Eat in Bangsar would be easy. After all, I know most of the neighborhood like the back of my hand. Or so I thought. But what I soon realised was how much more difficult it is to come up [...] The post Top 10 Food to Eat in...
When I visited Taiwan last May, a good friend recommended that I try Charmonix should I get tired of street food. I shrugged his suggestion off initially, thinking that wasnt going to happen. He was right as I got really homesick by the 5th day and the thought of XXL fried chicken and minced...
If I could name a star dish at Interlude in TTDI, it would be the 17-hour slow cooked pork belly. Not that the other dishes weren’t good – they were in their own right but imagine this amazingly tender chunk of pork belly with buttery fat and crackly skin on a base of Rabin’s (chef [...] The post...
Banana leaf rice has become one of my favourite things to eat especially on days when I need some carbo-loving. There’s nothing quite like it – parboiled rice on fresh sheets of banana leaf, accompanied by vegetarian side dishes and drenched in assorted curries. It is spicy, packed with flavour with a...
It was by luck that rif and I stumbled upon Chew Jetty Penang Chiak in Aman Puri, when we ran some errands within the vicinity. We were initially headed to our regular roast duck spot but spotted a crowd outside Chew Jetty and decided to walk in to see what the hype was about. The [...] The post Chew Jetty...
Weekend brunches have always been a favourite of mine – a pick-me-up that I look forward to after the end of a work week. It is also a welcomed habit when I’m on vacation, like the weekend brunch I enjoyed at Ebony, Mandarin Oriental Guangzhou. For RMB388 per person, Ebony’s brunch offers a selection...
There’s just something about ramen that I find appealing – springy noodles in thick pork broth, laced with sesame oil and topped with meltingly tender pork slices. Just the thought of it makes me salivate. While I haven’t tried every single ramen bar in town, I do have a few favourites such as Bankara...
Prasads Chetty Naadu Mess in Lebuh Ampang is one of my more unusual banana leaf rice experiences thus far — a hole in the wall above the goldsmith shop along Lebuh Ampang. Getting there is a little tricky, for the entrance is rather hidden. You need to spot Prasad’s goldsmith shop first, where...
Brunch is not only about the food; it is an occasion to catch up with friends or family. Over the years, it has become a lifestyle and for many restaurant/café owners, brunch is a revenue stream that they believe could potentially turn “brunchers” into regular customers. These days, I find brunch...
Frame Thai in Section 17 (formerly known as Lai Thai Market) boasts a steady stream of customers – a restaurant/mini mart in Happy Mansion that serves Thai street food and goodies from Thailand. I heard from friends that it started out as a sundry shop selling Thai snacks and food for the homesick, and...
