Weekends are for enjoying good food with the family. A couple of weekends ago, together with BabySumoKids, we tried out the refreshed dim sum menu at Tai Zi Heen, Pullman KLCC.On weekends and public holidays, Tai Zi Heen offers an All-You-Can-Eat Dim Sum from 11.30am to 2.30pm. The price? A very reasonable...
The United Nations has declared 2016 to be the year of pulses, to encourage people to eat more pulses (beans, peas, chickpeas and lentils) for their health and that of the planet. I was honored to be invited to be a Gourmet Guru and to be featured on the pulses.org website which will showcase the diversity...
Arguably the most luxurious, elegant setting in Kuala Lumpur for dim sum is Lai Po Heen in Mandarin Oriental KL. Recently together with BabySumoKids, we were fortunate enough to enjoy a memorable leisurely dim sum lunch here as a family.Exquisite, handmade dim sum is served here daily for lunch, and...
We came to Intermark with ramen in mind for lunch, but unfortunately when we arrived, we saw Menya was boarded up for renovation. So, we just went to the non-halal food court next door to have some food. Not many stalls were opened on a Sunday - there was a pork noodle shop, Lam's Kitchen and a shop selling...
I frequently travel around Peninsular Malaysia in search of good food, but I’ve never visited Sabah or Sarawak until last month when I went to Tawau. Admittedly, it is a town that wasn’t in my food radar but after going around the area, I’m certain this won’t be my last visit. As I’m not familiar...
“Happy Garden has plenty of good food I’ve yet to discover”, so I’d say to friends who ask me about my food hunts. When it comes to chicken rice, I’ve only tried the one at Kum Kee which was pretty good. New Lian Hin is located on the opposite end of Kum Kee Chicken Rice, [] The post New...
Langkawi Fish Farm is one of the restaurants in our list of places to check out something rif planned for us when we decided to visit the island. The restaurant isnt too far away from our hotel and since we rented a car, getting around the island was easy. It is best to get [] The post...
Happy Garden is an area filled with hidden gems, like this unassuming “big fry” (tai chow) stall in San Kee Restaurant. I chanced upon this when I checked out the not so impressive char siew place a few doors away – quite a number of patrons were tucking into plates of Cantonese fried kuay teow...
Bak Kut Teh isn’t something I regularly indulge in – a ritual that is only possible if you happen to live in Klang, or near enough. So when I do make time for bak kut teh in Klang, I try and make sure I only get the best ones possible. Alas, we weren’t as lucky [] The post Weng Heong Bak Kut...
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 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, []...
Mid-Autumn Festival is an occasion where families and loved ones get together to celebrate love, health, longevity and great fortune. It is also an occasion to indulge in beautifully crafted mooncakes and admire the packaging design of various hotels and restaurants. BLOOM Mooncakes at The Westin Kuala...
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...
When a restaurant requires prior booking in order for customers to secure a table, one would expect the food to be top notch. My in-laws have been raving about Jeff Lee Kitchen in Sungai Buloh, especially their “standing chicken” and minced pork wantan noodles. There were no tables available when we...
Kepong is a place that rif and I enjoy exploring for good food – despite the language barrier, the gems discovered are worth the hassle and sometimes, miscommunication. E Soo Yong Tau Foo in Bandar Menjalara is popular for its yong tau foo as well as cooked dishes such as pork ribs curry, house special...
BabySumoKids love having omelette as part of their Chinese dinners. It would be one of the first dishes they attack on the dinner table. One of our favorite is prawn omelette with spring onions. You can drizzle some Sriracha sauce on top for extra heat.Ingredients4 eggs1 tsp light soy sauce3-4 stalk spring...
While most of my blogging peers look for new and trendy restaurants and cafes that seem to be mushrooming in town, I prefer to stick to my favourite local spots. My readers’ recommendations are what I take quite seriously and one of them suggested Nyuk Min in SS2 after I blogged about the wantan mee...
You may have seen this on My Kitchen Angel post last week.Steamed fish is always a welcome sight on our dinner table. Since there are so few ingredients involved in making this dish, it is crucial to use the freshest fish available as well as high-quality soy sauce. This will allow the natural sweetness of...
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...
