During our stay at Westin Phuket, rif and I got to sample the FB offering that the resort has to offer – from robust Thai cuisine to hearty Italian favourites. We also enjoyed the room service since we spent most of our time in the villa. At Prego by the Beach, we tucked into pizza [] The post...
If I had to pick a favourite dish at Little Thai Kitchen in Dataran Sunway, it would be the Phad Suki Hang (RM12.90) – an uncommon Thai fried noodles that comes in a soup or dry version. The one I tried at Little Thai Kitchen was delicious; charred bits, plenty of meat and vegetables and [] The...
KGB at Live House KL sports a slightly different menu from their three outlets in Bangsar, Mid Valley and TTDI – this newest venture focuses on sliders and bite size snacks, along with spiked milk shakes. The menu at Live House is larger, with signature burgers, sharing plates, quesadillas and sliders so...
Dining at Yamaguchi Fish Market is an experience inspired by the fish markets in Japan, but more upscale in terms of ambiance. As the name suggests, seafood is their main focus while a small portion of the menu is dedicated to Chinese cuisine. One of the highlights at Yamaguchi Fish Market is the air-flown...
There’s something about spicy food that gets me excited, especially when it’s Thai cuisine. I love the spicy, tangy, sweet and salty flavours this cuisine has to offer, from refreshing salads to grilled seafood, served with piquant dipping sauces. Thai U Up in Sri Petaling serves pretty decent Thai...
With the weather being so cold in the US, it makes me crave for hot soups and noodles even more. Heres a short post on my favourite beef noodle spot of late Tangkak Beef Noodles in Kuchai Lama. They have several branches around Malaysia but the main one started in (obviously) Tangkak, Johor.
Mention Klang and I would automatically relate to Bak Kut Teh an incomplete association as theres plenty more that Klang has to offer. During my recent trip there, I tried Peng Heong Hakka Paikut which the regulars claim serves one of the best pork chops in town. They might be right, judging...
Mention Klang and most people will associate it with Bak Kut Teh – a delicious breakfast ritual of pork cuts, simmered in an intense herbal broth for that heady flavour and aroma. It is a staple in Klang where some like it soupy and others like it to be more intense. I like them both [] The post Mo...
Kame Sushi in Desa Sri Hartamas is small yet cosy – a popular dining venue for Japanese expats and a non-menu policy (omakase). Forget the standard Japanese restaurant menu, as what you eat at Kame depends on what the chef (Mizukami Masahiro) feels like serving on that day. Call it a dining adventure, and...
Ipoh has been one of my favourite pitstops to make when Im on the way to Penang, as theres quite a bit to eat and see in this bustling town. My regular spots include Pasir Pinjis yong tau fu, Ipoh white coffee at Sun Yin Loong and claypot glass noodles at Rasa Lain. We recently tried...
Favola at Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur hasn’t received the recognition it deserves, despite being around for a good 5 years or more. It is one of the better Italian restaurants by hotel standards and one that I frequented for hearty seafood pasta and fresh bread rolls, which my late mother enjoyed. With Chef...
Good nasi lemak isn’t hard to come by if you’re in Malaysia – there are plenty of options around, from posh versions in shopping malls and hotels, to the simpler ones in the form of packets. While I do indulge in nasi lemak bungkus every now and then, my ultimate nasi lemak indulgence includes fried...
Boran Thai Street Food in Seapark is quite a gem – a fuss free setup that allows one to tuck into hearty Thai food that is just as unpretentious at the ambiance. Street food has always been a favourite of rif and I, and Boran comes highly recommended as he’s been there with his colleagues. [] The...
When one is in Penang, the Penang Road Famous TeoChew Chendul is a must-have especially in our super hot weather. It is a business that not only sustained itself over the years, but has grown to become of the most sought after cendol brands in Malaysia. So much so that the queue at the original []...
Sin Chua Kee in Kuchai has been around for quite some time, and is one of the places I’ve been meaning to pay a visit to. Especially since I take Mori (formerly Toby) to the vet nearby. It wasn’t until last week that rif and I managed to try this, when his relatives were in [] The post Sin Chua...
As the blog progresses, rif and I are constantly trying to improve the layout and user flow. While I know many of you may be more accustomed to the original layout, I would like to assure you that the new design is meant to make reading Bangsarbabe.com easier. There is now a new Stay Updated...
Pearl in the Grove is located in the middle of the kumquat groves in Dade City – a quaint and cosy spot I visited with my dear Uncle Lanney, who lived not too far away. It never crossed my mind that the in the middle of a farm county lies such a gem and possibly [] The post Pearl in the Grove,...
Like char kuay teow, one of my must-have items in Penang is asam laksa, and only the one from Air Itam market. It’s been a regular stop for both rif and myself, and the only asam laksa the fussy boy would ever eat. When we found out our favourite asam laksa spot has opened an [] The post Penang...
Brunch to me is an experience – not just with the food but also the group of friends whose company I enjoy. Given how popular brunches have become, expectations on restaurants and cafés have surged, or so I believe. It was a good friend who pitched the idea of Brunch Munch to me; a [] The...
Lian Heng Pan Mee is said to be the best in Subang Jaya – there used to be a massive queue at the SS19 stall where you need to take a number and wait patiently for your noodles. Apparently, the owners sold off the business and owner’s son reopened Lian Heng Pan Mee in USJ [] The post Lian Heng...
