When it comes to Thai cuisine, I’m always game. I think I had a Thai food face (I’m sure some of you noticed) a few months back where almost every alternate review or social media posting I did was about Thai food. Jing Thai in Seri Kembangan is one of the Thai restaurants I had [] The post Jing...
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fixated on steamboat or any sort of hotpot where food is cooked in a pot of broth. The only “hotpot” I don’t fancy as much is lok-lok, because I don’t get to drink the soup. BeBeHo Steamboat in Old Klang Road is relatively new and uses [] The post...
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...
Kajang is an area I rarely venture into though it’s about time I should – there are plenty of hidden gems to discover, according to my dad’s cousin who lives in Country Heights. He took me to dinner at a restaurant named Xi Young Xuan where we had simple dishes that didn’t cost an arm [] The...
rif and I try to make sure we go for date nights at least once a fortnight despite our busy schedules, though we sometimes miss out because of work/blog commitments. We both decided on Maria’s Steak Café in Bangsar on our recent date night because it was one of the places in Bangsar we haven’t...
Buffets offer value and variety, two keywords that often comes into consideration when dining out. Aoki Tei in Sunway Nexis is one of the newer Japanese restaurants in town (by Umai-Ya) that offers the buffet concept where customers pick the items they like from the two-page menu available. Seating is...
Passions of Kerala in New World Park Penang is a little gem that serves South Indian cuisine. I was introduced to this by one of my readers, Rowen, and I’m glad I got to squeeze in time to indulge in a banana leaf rice meal during my short trip up north. A standard banana leaf [] The post Passions...
CoCo Ichibanya in 1 Utama is an outlet by Japan’s largest curry rice restaurant chain where diners get the flexibility of customising their meal from the various toppings, rice and curry. rif and I are a fan of Japanese curry so this was a dinner spot we earmarked when we were in 1 Utama. First []...
Katz Delicatessen in New York is an institution on its own a spot where locals go for apparently the best pastrami sandwich that leaves you stuffed, but wanting more. It was one of rif and my must-try places during our (too short) time in the city and were so glad we got to try [] The...
When rif and I travel, we look forward to trying new places and different types of food especially when it comes to Penang both island and mainland. Tokyo Restaurant in Kampung Benggali came highly recommended by a friend of mine, who insisted I should give it a try when I head up north. And...
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...
I’ve eaten at Tiong Hokkien Mee numerous times in the past 8 years or so – when they first opened in Champion Duck (they were called Ah Wah) in Damansara Uptown. They have since relocated to the same row of shop lots as Damansara Uptown Hokkien Mee, boasting a bigger and brighter space. Ordering and...
With fasting month happening just around the corner, Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur showcases an array of masakan kampung on top of its existing repertoire of international favourites. These dishes are prepared by Chef Din, the hotel’s sous chef with more than 10 years of experience in authentic Malay...
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...
Kodawari Menya Udon Tempura in 1 Mont Kiara is a vision of efficiency – a self-service joint that serves udon in a variety of sauces and broth, with an assortment of tempura to go with it. The udon originates from the Sanuki province Kagawa in Japan, a place known for this noodle craft. The...
Xiao by Crustz at Happy Mansion feels a little bit like a gallery – a smallish space that caters to a maximum of 15-20 pax at a time. This patisserie focuses on French-inspired creations, all beautifully crafted and extremely photogenic. The set-up is clean and minimalistic which I like, though it can get...
Patty Pie in Aman Suria offers a decent range of burgers and pizzas made from scratch – an outlet both rif and I have been wanting to try since they appeared on our food radar months ago. There is no pie at Patty Pie; the name “patty” stands for burger patties and “pie” [] The...
For the first time in years, rif and I didnt travel over the long weekend so we decided to visit the Ali, Muthu Ah Hock in Kuala Lumpur, the second outlet after the original spot in Oasis Damansara. I find the outlet in KL more old school with its scruffy-looking walls which gives it an...
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...
The new Yut Kee isn’t located too far away from where it used to be; a short walking distance at the back of the old spot and one that’s bigger and brighter, with bits of old school nostalgia here and there. Yut Kee is new, but the interior is fashioned to reflect how it was [] The post Yut Kee,...
