My first taste of chapati was at a friend’s Deepavali open house where her mother served me hot chapati with one of the best mutton curries I’ve eaten. We drifted apart over the years but I still remember her mother’s homemade chapati till this day. Funny how I bumped into the said friend at Big...

Last week, we were at the supermarket doing our grocery shopping. Hubby picked up a pack of Australian dhal and told me that he wanted to try making dhal at home.

A lot of my friends spoke good things about the siew yoke briyani from Meat The Porkers in Publika – said to be Kuala Lumpur’s first non-halal Indian restaurant. This simple setup of a restaurant gets rather packed during weekends and you might need to queue for a table unless you make a reservation.

A good friend from Australia was back for her holidays, so we caught up over some banana leaf rice. Off we went to Sri Ganapathi Mess at PJ Old Town.

Shah Alam isn’t a place I tend to venture into, unless I happen to have a meeting in the area. It was a friend who suggested Boss Curry House for lunch last weekend, as I had an engagement to attend to in the vicinity. Boss Curry House specialises in biryani and banana leaf rice – both [] The...

Sri Nirwana Maju is one of the more popular banana leaf rice restaurants in the Bangsar area.

The restaurant was...
Passions of Kerala in New World Park Penang is a little gem that serves South Indian cuisine.

I remember when the 1Malaysia concept came about 5 years ago – I was competing in a national beauty pageant and was forced to pretend to understand what it meant or at least, “wing it” when it came to QA with the press. Frankly, I have no idea why they insisted on the girls championing []...

One of the perks about living in Malaysia is the exposure to different types of cuisines.
