hai assalammualaikum Jagung Cheese, Aumm Sedapnya - Sebelum PKP, anak tiba-tiba nak makan jagung. Okla, kita suruh dia ambil, sebab kita pun dah lama tak makan jagung. Kemudian masa nak buat tu, terfikir, takkan ank rebus je kan, teringat orang pernah buat jagung susu cheese viral dulu, tapi...
Ipoh and cendol are two things I don’t associate together, unlike Ipoh and dim sum or Ipoh and nga choy kai. But my good friend told me about this really amazing cendol stall called Cendol Mari Gunung Rapat that her father often patronizes – and that I should really give it a try when I’m []...
My second attempt to dine at Sunbather Coffee at The Sphere in Bangsar South required effort. We had a good experience at the café first time around and wanted to return to check out more of what they have to offer. Alas, there was an issue with electricity and they couldn’t serve customers when we...
A Penang friend of mine insisted I check out Moody Cow Café along Transfer Road when I visited Penang in late December, claiming the café serves possibly the best cake on the island. Coming from someone who rarely eats cake, I was intrigued by why this place made him fork a cake when he’s perpetually...
I first visited Dao three months ago when Jien insisted we go for dessert after lunch in SS15 Subang Jaya. He was adamant I give Dao a shot as he’s been frequenting this place with his colleagues when they go for lunch within the vicinity. Dao is located down the road from the famous SS15 [] The...
Nothing unites us Malaysians more than food – we’re constantly talking about what to eat, where to eat and whom to eat with. From local delights to global cuisine, KL is an attraction for foodies wanting to satisfy their cravings. With over 40 food establishments under one roof, Avenue K celebrates the...
Just as coffee begins to hit a plateau, you find interesting coffee options to draw you back into the coffee drinking game. Like the one I tried at Caffeine Chemistry Coffee in Nagore Road, Penang two weeks ago. The café serves coffee beans from Catunambu but what interests me in giving them a try is...
Honolulu Café is one of my must-visit spots in Hong Kong as the egg tart is one of the best I’ve eaten – buttery, flaky pastry with silken egg custard and an aroma that can entice one to call of their diet. I had a really difficult time restraining myself from ordering everything and my [] The...
Part of the reason why I love incognito food hunts is the idea of experiencing unbiased food and service, just like everyone else. It is something Jien and I try to uphold for the Bangsar Babe brand, despite the lure of paid food reviews and complimentary meals. A fan of mine gave me a tip-off [] The...
Chocolates and desserts have always been Jien’s thing – he has a weaker spot for sweet treats compared to me. That’s also why our fridge at home is stocked with chocolates from our trips abroad. When we did BB10 last November, it was apt to have a dessert table with chocolates as a feature and...
When it comes to dessert, tong sui always gets me excited. Especially if peanut paste and black sesame paste is available. I’ve been going to the dessert shop across Restoran Ruby (PMK) for years until a friend told me to try Restoran Ruby for comparison instead. It was apt timing too, as PMK Dessert...
Bangsar is a popular spot when it comes to café-hopping because most cafes are located along the same street or at the very most, a short drive from each other. From hipster cafes to pretty- looking ones, here are five Instagram-worthy cafes I recently checked out in my hood. Tiny Temptress Tiny Temptress...
Sourdough pizza is my favourite kind of pizza – the tangy allure of sourdough bread and rustic touch of thick-rimmed pizza base with crispy air-pockets and slightly charred edges. It’s also a favourite of Jien as we both enjoy the chew and flavour the sourdough bread yields, just like the ones at Kenny...
Taman Desa is an area filled with hidden gems, and one needs to look out for them as they can be easy to miss as you drive past the row of shoplots. Charlie’s Café is one of them – it was a couple of weeks back when the lack of parking in that area forced [] The post Charlies Cafe, Taman...
Yellow Apron in Section 13 Petaling Jaya hits a couple of right notes with Jien and I – him, more than myself as he’s a bigger fan of burgers and modern cuisine. The team at Yellow Apron combines the best of east and west in a contemporary space, which we both found enjoyable. Our good [] The...
It’s rare to find a baker who’s so passionate and confident about his daily bakes, yet humble enough to welcome constructive feedback so he can do better the next time. That was my impression of Juwanda Hashim when I visited The Fabulous Baker Boy in Singapore two weeks back. I met with my friends over...
As someone who takes food seriously, I tend to approach “Instagram-worthy” places with caution. That’s because not all that looks amazing on an Instagram feed translates the same way on the palate. More often than not, I’m right. Depending on your purpose of dining, you’ll either enjoy Jibby ...
11.2.2017 - IT WAS THE FIFTEEN DAY OF CHINESE NEW YEAR, also known as Chap Goh Mei in Hokkien dialect According to history, yesterday was the 15th of the lunar new year and the last day of Chinese New Year which was also known as the "Lantern Festival" and Chinese Valentine's day. On this...
NO MATTER HOW HEAVY TRAFFIC IS, it did not deter us from going and joining in the crowd at the Dim Sum area aka Leong Sin Nam Street during the Chinese New Year period. Along the same row and around the vicinity, there are around five to six shops selling Dim Sum and Ipoh is actually quite famous for...
CELEBRATED TWO OF MY EX-CLASSMATES' BIRTHDAY last evening at Choy Kee Restaurant in Ipoh Garden. It was a double birthday celebration for both ladies, one born on this day and another in early February. Everyone of us who came were in high spirits, come to think of it, our dinner lasted more...
