My first Mr. Ho dining experience was with Jien, who took me there for my 18th birthday back when they had a restaurant in Mid Valley. I remember enjoying the pork chop with potatoes and sauerkraut – and it was the first of the many food places Jien introduced to me later on. So you [] The post The...
Hua Xing in Sungei Way has been around for many years and I’ve heard good things about it back in the early days of blogging even. But it wasn’t until recently that I paid them a visit with Jien, who told me the food is decent after trying it for lunch with his colleagues. The [] The post Hua...
It’s been more than 10 years since I blogged about my favourite char kuay teow spot in KL – Robert Char Kuay Teow in Section 17 PJ. Jien and I have been patronising his stall since we were in college and now that he recently relocated to another coffeeshop across the road, I figured it [] The...
Thai food is something Jien and I have most in common with, among the rest of our favourite cuisines. Flavours are exciting and textures are amazing, which leaves us satisfied more often than not. We’ve heard good things about Baan Rao in Petaling Jaya, said to serve hearty Thai food that’s not a pain...
Woodstock Restaurant in Petaling Jaya offers a range of western and local dishes, on top of a growing selection of wines, beers and cocktails. It took over the spot where Rokaro used to occupy, boasting a more modern look and feel. The interior is fashioned to give diners a hipster British vibe and the...
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...
Banana leaf rice has become a weekly ritual for me; its difficult to resist freshly cooked parboiled rice drenched in assorted curries, with side vegetables, meat and rasam to cap off the meal. I have my favourites like this gem and this, but recently found out about the banana leaf rice at UMAC...
TOKB Café in Petaling Jaya isn’t just any café – it is military themed, meant to pay tribute to war heroes of the past. It was rif who took me there for lunch recently, when our hunt for Pokemon took us nearby. The café offers Kelantanese cuisine such as Nasi Kerabu, Nasi Tumpang and laksam;...
Sunrise Roast Duck in Seapark PJ used to be my family cheat meal on weekends – dad had a roast duck phase and he would take the family out for a hearty lunch after Sunday service. This would usually happen once a month and I remembered always fighting for the drumstick with my siblings. We [] The...
I was aching for banana leaf rice and when both my choices (Sri Ganapathi Mess and Acha Curry House) weren’t open, I tried Kavitha’s Curry House in Petaling Garden instead. Like any other banana leaf rice establishment, Kavitha’s offer a selection of fried items to go with your rice – chicken, fish,...
I’ve never been that big a fan of café hopping simply because I prefer sticking to a few that serves good coffee and if possible, desserts that are worth checking out. There’s something about Fluffed Café Dessert Bar in Taman Paramount that appeals to me – it has a vibe that makes me feel...
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...
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...
Sugar Rush in Section 16, PJ has been the talk of town since they first opened in Pusat Bandar Damansara. The original outlet has since closed and the dessert parlour recently relocated to a spacious corner lot in Section 16 Petaling Jaya. An extension of Sugar Rush’s online business, the dessert parlour...
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...
