My friends have been telling me about the kai si hor fun (chicken kuay teow soup) at Pau Kee in Jalan Imbi – apparently, it’s better than the one at Mei Sin, which isn’t too far away. They serve Ipoh style hor fun, steamed chicken, curry mee and also wantan mee, though waiting time can be []...
After a family tussle over the ownership of Line Clear Nasi Kandar in Penang, one of the proprietors opened LC Restaurant in Kampung Baru. It is said that the outlet in Penang is now run by the cousin, and the original recipe for Line Clear’s famous nasi kandar is only available at the Kampung Baru...
Nasi kukus isn’t something I eat often but when my friend raved about how good Nasi Kukus Ilham is, I knew I had to give it a shot. Nasi Kukus Ilham is said to be one of the best around and if you get there slightly past 7pm, expect a crowd. Only nasi kukus (RM6.70) [] The post Nasi Kukus Ilham,...
After a rather disappointing char siew experience at Meng Kee Char Siew in Happy Garden, I decided to give the branch in Kuchai Lama a shot. Which was a let-down as well. Service was prompt and our food didn’t take long to arrive. We ordered the usual – char siew wantan mee (RM5.50 – small, []...
I first visited Kim Lian Kee five years ago when I started working in KL – my then colleagues took me out to lunch and highly recommended the Hokkien Mee. It soon became one of my regular lunch spots, especially when I discovered “Moonlight Kuay Teow”. That’s essentially fried kuay teow with a raw...
The name Meng Kee carries a lot of weightage when it comes to char siew – I would expect the char siew to be one of the best in town. When I tried Meng Kee Char Siew in Happy Garden, I was disappointed. While the char siew wasn’t terrible, it wasn’t the usual standard I [] The post Meng Kee...
Penang prawn mee is something I’ve grown to enjoy but finding a good version in Klang Valley has been quite a challenge. My regular haunt is a tad pricey considering the portion so when a friend recommended the prawn mee at Lim Sisters in Kepong, rif and I scheduled a visit that weekend itself. Alas,...
Chan Meng Kee in SS2 has been around for a number of years but I only managed a visit a couple of days back when rif wanted to eat around the area. He has eaten there before and said good things about the food so I had to try it for myself. Service is prompt [] The post Chan Meng Kee, SS2 appeared...
Back in November last year, I finally got the chance to try the famous Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Ricefrom Singapore. The stall is located in Maxwell Food Centre and is pretty easy to locate once you're inside the hawker centre. Look for the stall with the longest queue!Fortunately for us, when we...
Writing about food is something that comes pretty naturally for me, especially since I’ve been doing so since 2007. While many FB establishments are popping up in Klang Valley, I’m more keen on hidden gems or food spots that are tried and tested over the years. Like Kum Kee Chicken Rice in Kuchai...
Nasi Kandar is one of my favourite things to eat in Penang – a meal I find quite impossible to resist given just how much I love my curries. There’s just something about the combination of curries in nasi kandar that I find extremely addictive and no matter how stuffed I am from dinner, I [] The...
Damansara Uptown Hokkien Mee in Damansara Utama is said to serve the best Hokkien Mee in PJ where the place packs up come night time, with diners tucking into their signature fried noodles coated in black sauce and pork lard. It’s been more than a year since I last visited them and they have implemented...
Mention pan mee and one will tend to assume it comes in the form of soup (spicy sometimes) or dry style (dark sauce or with chilli paste). Fried pan mee isn’t very common but rif and I recently tried it for ourselves, at this place called Big Tree Fried Pan Mee, just off Old Klang Road. [] The...
With several branches around Klang Valley, Sentul Ah Yap Hokkien Mee is certainly more accessible but not without the compromise of quality – I’ve had not so stellar experiences in some of the KL and PJ outlets. So rif and I decided to head to the original setup in Jalan Sentul to see if the []...
Over the weekend in Melaka, rif and I checked out this gem of a place called Restoran Bisik Bisik, said to serve a mean mee bandung with udang galah (fresh water prawn). The sheer mention of udang galah alone makes me excited so it was a food stop I could not miss. Restoran Bisik Bisik [] The post...
I’ve always had a preference for bolder flavours so anything spicy, tangy and creamy rocks my boat. My mother however, enjoyed cleaner flavours so steamed items and “ching” soups were her thing. If she were still alive, I would surely take her to B Best Restaurant in SS4; a noodle spot I visited...
Like char kuay teow, one of my must-have items in Penang is asam laksa, and only the one from Air Itam market. It’s been a regular stop for both rif and myself, and the only asam laksa the fussy boy would ever eat. When we found out our favourite asam laksa spot has opened an [] The post Penang...
Lian Heng Pan Mee is said to be the best in Subang Jaya – there used to be a massive queue at the SS19 stall where you need to take a number and wait patiently for your noodles. Apparently, the owners sold off the business and owner’s son reopened Lian Heng Pan Mee in USJ [] The post Lian Heng...
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...
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...
