Hawker food is something I enjoy eating and despite the occasional incidences of diarrhoea and tummy aches, I’m still not sick of it. There are plenty of choices ranging from mixed rice, chicken rice, soup noodles, fried noodles and so on. While the hawker stalls in Bangsar are pretty convenient for me, I...
Have you ever been in a situation where you line up for food, only to find the dish or item has sold out when you reach the front of the line? I think I’ve this bad luck of missing good food as most of the time, I’m either left disappointed or have to wait for [...]
Frying kuay teow isn’t brain surgery but getting it right is an art. Not everyone can make good fried kuay teow so a place that serves such a dish is a gem to me. This place in Cheras serves a pretty mean plate of “kon chau hor fun”, loosely translated as dry fried kuay teow [...]
Kafe Kaki Corner in Taman Billion Cheras is said to be a popular hangout at night and it serves mostly Western food. rif is a big fan of such dining places and so am I. But what I hate about these places is the nonexistent service. Basically, you can choose to sit by the roadside [...]
Chicken rice is a universal dish so people buy it when they can’t think of anything better to eat. I started disliking chicken rice when my mum fed me with her homemade chicken rice every weekend, after learning how to cook it from a friend. I remember telling her I liked that auntie’s chicken rice [...]
Tong Sui can potentially make or break my day, just like coffee. I rarely go for this sweet treat, because more often than not, it is laden with sugar but short on ingredients. A friend of rif’s told us about this good tong sui place he frequents in Taman Muda, and coming from a Cheras [...]
An old friend Joseph once told me that Cheras is the land of good food. I didn’t believe him, until I started working in Taman Shamelin. Getting there was almost as bad as my current company’s location, but there were ample of food places and most of them reasonable. Uncle Meng was one of my [...]
Some people can’t live without rice, but I can’t go without noodles for a week. Top of my noodle type list is kuay teow, followed closely by pan mee, also known as handmade noodles. Pan Mee comes in a few forms – thin noodle strands, flat noodle strands and pinched. The pinched version tastes best [...]
Met up with Ben for ramen at Menya Musashi in 1 Utama recently. I’ve been here once more than 5 months ago, also the last time I was in this mall. Seems like everyone’s in KL this CNY because the mall was pretty packed. From left: Kuro Musashi Ramen (RM26), Shiro Musashi Ramen (RM26) and [...]
I’m often suspicious of all-you-can-eat dim sum promotions. The more affordable the price, the more I’m cautious. See, a quality buffet often cost an arm or a leg, or sometimes both, and at RM65++ per person, Tai Zi Heen’s dim sum buffet is well within my budget. We tried this dim sum buffet when we...
This Chinese New Year, rif and I did a lot of eating in Malacca. We’ve been stuffing our faces since we arrived at 8am. While most of the places are our regulars, we did check out a few new places, including Roti John Puteri Erra at Medan Selera Bunga Raya. It’s pretty easy to locate [...]
During our stay at Prince Hotel Residence Kuala Lumpur, rif and I were treated to a spa session at The Sompoton Spa – the perfect way to spend our evening. What I love about spas is the soothing music, and scent of aromatherapy oils and spices. The oils make me a lot calmer and [...]
I’m not that huge a fan of rice, but am always in the mood for a good plate of nasi kandar. I used to patronize the two popular nasi kandar restaurants at Jalan TAR, before making myself a regular at the nasi kandar place in Puchong. While the nasi kandar is pretty good, the distance [...]
Many people talk about the 4 C’s of a diamond – cut, carat, clarity and certification. Some ladies put a lot of emphasis on carat, cut and clarity, while others want certification. I know of a friend who insisted on a Tiffany because she wanted the name and certification, and didn’t mind settling for...

There are many factors to consider when looking for a hotel, and the importance of each factor differs between individuals. For me, hotel location and comfort are important factors when I’m traveling. When I dont get a good night’s rest, my holiday is pretty much ruined. Same goes for the hassle...
Coming up with this Top 10 Penang Food list was difficult, because I liked most of the food I tried. Not everyone has a stomach like mine, and not everyone has the luxury of time (you will need at least 1 week) to indulge in ALL that Penang has to offer. If you’re blessed with [...]

When rif and I went to Gold Coast last year, Joe recommended that we try Hakataya Ramen in Surfers Paradise,and we really enjoyed it. The place is somewhat secluded and there’s no proper signage that leads you to the humble shop. Look out for a yellow signboard with “Japanese Noodle Shop” on it and...
