Curry noodles are a must have for me; a staple I cant go without for more than a week. To a point I would pack a cup or two of curry instant noodles just to curb the craving when I travel. Foo Kwai Curry Mee in Ipoh is a new discovery for rif and I [] The post Foo Kwai Curry Mee, Ipoh appeared...
Indulgence Restaurant is one of the few fine dining options available in Ipoh (if not the only), housed in a colonial mansion in Ipoh. The menu features Modern European fare and seasonal offerings displayed on a chalkboard across the room. Décor is minimal and the ambiance felt like a casual café rather...
“Breakfast, brunch and everything in between” – how aptly this describes Plates at Lebuh Muntri in Penang. Plates occupy the front portion of the space that also houses Inch; due to the space and large windows, lighting during the day is terrific. Especially if you’re big on photography and...
There are plenty of things I like about The Hound Café in OUG – Cookie the friendly beagle who greets you as you enter, its understated yet cosy décor, and the coffee and cakes available. The café is dog friendly so people bring their own to interact with Cookie. The coffee is pretty decent, though...
Finding a stall that serves good Penang char kuay teow in KL is more feasible than one that serves good Penang tua pan. As a matter of fact, I wasn’t aware of a place that serves Penang tua pan until recently, when Ken took me to try Danny Penang Tua Pan in Bandar Sri Menjalara. [] The post Danny...
When we visited Taipei earlier this year, rif suggested we dine at Shin Yeh at Taipei 101, said to serve fine Taiwanese cuisine with a panoramic view of the city. Reservation is a must, especially if you want to secure the window seat. The minimum spend per person is NT1800, if you want to secure []...
Kurata Japanese Fine Dining is almost like a hole in the wall, located in Parkroyal Kuala Lumpur. It requires a bit of resilience – to wander a little and make one’s way into Chatz Brasserie, where Kurata is at the end of the hallway. The restaurant is quintessentially Japanese and the selection of...
Coco Steamboat along Old Klang Road is always packed with people – a sign that the food must be good. Or so I thought. You’re encouraged to make a reservation, or risk waiting for a table to free up. The place is huge and sits easily 1,000 pax at once; maybe more. The place is [] The post Coco...
If I had to pick just one dish at Nana’s Green Tea, it’s the chicken kaarage salad (RM16) – a “naughty” salad of crispy fried chicken, lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes and egg. There’s nothing quite like the appeal of fried chicken to me and this salad version which I tried at the Pavilion outlet...
Fried chicken is something I crave for constantly – it’s almost like an antidote for any shitty moments that life hurls at me and also a form of reward for a job well done. When they are fresh from the fryer like the ones at Lim Fried Chicken in Glenmarie, every wrong becomes right. In [] The...
Kuriya Japanese Restaurant in Bangsar Shopping Centre has plenty to offer, from the freshest sashimi cuts to handmade soba. The ambiance is semi-casual – where lighting is somewhat dim and the mood, zen-like. I was invited to try a specially created 5-course menu by Chef Nakagawa San, comprising sashimi,...
When you go to Tiger Prawn Vietnamese Restaurant in Guangzhou, be prepared to join a queue of people – all eagerly waiting for a table inside this cosy spot along Beijing Road. It requires patience (and perhaps a snack in hand); a virtue that will reward you handsomely once you get into Tiger Prawn.
While searching for the tomyam noodles at Weld Quay, rif and I also chanced upon the stall that sells fried kuih bakul (nian gao) and banana fritters, along with a selection of deep fried treats. I’ve heard about this stall from my friend Ee, who swears by the awesomeness of the kuih bakul. This humble...
Ka Bee Café in Weld Quay is said to serve one of the best tom yam noodles in Penang Island, a claim that got me excited and eager to pay them a visit. The shoplot is small and basic, but it is what they offer on the menu that matters – piping hot bowls of [] The post Ka Bee Cafe, Chew Jetty...
Dah lama tak makan makanan korea, kebetulan member ajak try makan restaurant Sopoong yang baru buka kat Ioi Mall City Putarajaya. So, pergi je la orang dah ajak takkan nak tolak plak kan. Restaurant Sopoong Di IoI Mall City Putrajaya Ini first time dangar nama restaurant tersebut, selalu dengar nama...
I was never a fan of bittergourd – a vegetable my mother insisted on when I was growing up. It was often blended into my daily dose of juice and stir fried with garlic. Suffice to say, I developed a great dislike for bittergourd and would equate it to horrible things one should eat when they need...
Portofino in Bangsar happens to be one of the Italian restaurants I frequent – clearly because of the location and mostly because I find the ambiance ideal and food, decent. Pricing is fairly reasonable considering the location and service on most of my visits have been consistent. Almost as consistent as...
Chuan Lee Restaurant in Petaling Jaya has a good variety of hawker stalls that operate during the day. Come night time, the place serves “tai chow” dishes, which I have yet to try. rif and I have always been a fan of hawker food and to us, discovering a new hawker spot proves more pleasurable []...
If you’re a regular blog reader, you would know that curry laksa is one of my all-time favourite – I can eat it five days in a row and not get sick of the taste. Of late, I’ve been getting my fix at this place called Restoran Ah Loy in OUG, which rif and I [] The post Restoran Ah Loy, OUG...
I never knew what a Mookata was, until I tried it at Soi 19 in Kuchai Lama. rif and I stumbled upon this cosy little spot when we were randomly picking places to eat for dinner. We walked in thinking that it was a Thai restaurant that served dishes only to learn they offer this [] The post Soi 19,...
