When it comes to cuisine of choice on a date night, Jien and I tend to gravitate towards meat – beef, in particular. We love the idea of tucking into freshly grilled beef or steak, especially if it’s a delicious, tender cut. Shin Nihon in Desa Sri Hartamas is said to offer one of the [] The post...
Ipoh has always been one of my favourite destinations in Malaysia when it comes to food – a small but fast-emerging town that is often packed with tourists during weekends and long holidays. It is home to one of the best steamed chickens I’ve tried and smoothest hor fun you’ll find in the country.
My second attempt to dine at Sunbather Coffee at The Sphere in Bangsar South required effort. We had a good experience at the café first time around and wanted to return to check out more of what they have to offer. Alas, there was an issue with electricity and they couldn’t serve customers when we...
I’ve always found it difficult to choose between sukiyaki and shabu-shabu – both are Japanese-style hotpots comprising thinly sliced meats and vegetables, with dipping sauces. The difference between the two is flavour. Shabu-shabu is savoury while sukiyaki leans towards the sweeter side. At Mo-Mo...
I’ve heard good things about Janwa Thai Restaurant in Bandar Menjalara – apparently, the place is managed by Thai folks and food is said to be quite decent. Went there a couple of weeks back with my teammates for lunch, after a client meeting near the area. For lunch on a weekday, Janwa Thai is...
Jien and I are quite different when it comes to food choices on a weekday – he likes options while I can eat the same thing (curry laksa!) five days a week. As such, our new food hunts are mostly based on his discovery list, like Spades Burger in SS15 Subang. Spades Burger isn’t new.
Every now and then, Jien and I will go for a date night to catch up with each other over a meal. Sometimes, I get it my way. Sometimes, he does. And when he does, we go for something new – like Kannichikan Yakiniku in Desa Sri Hartamas. This yakiniku spot has been around for [] The post Kannichikan...
BAK KUT TEH. Three words that can spark debate and form circles in Klang. I’ve seen people argue over where to find the best bowl of bak kut teh in Klang – some only eat this herbal treat in porcelain bowls rather than claypot. Ah Her Bak Kut Teh has a strong cult following, evident...
SS2 is home to plenty of hawker food – there’s never a shortage to where and what to eat, in my opinion. Jien and I paid Soon Hing Ducklicious and Dim Sum in SS2 a visit recently as the place is said to serve pretty good roast duck with wantan noodles. I wanted to have [] The post Soon Hing...
Finding a reputable tai chow restaurant is becoming more and more difficult for Jien and myself these days, as our standards have become rather high after this and this. Still, we’re always on a lookout for reliably good restaurants because “the more, the better”. Our friend told us about Good Taste...
Korean barbeque has always been more of Jien’s thing rather than mine – he enjoys watching meats cook on the grill while I prefer something soupy. Hwa Ga is Solaris claims to serve all the grilled meats, side dishes and soups you can stomach for just RM39++ per pax (lunch) and RM45++ per pax (dinner).
I’ve been on a lookout for decent Hock Chew food in Klang Valley for the past few years as most places serve a pallid version of what you can find in Sitiawan. A colleague of Jien who’s from Sitiawan told us about this shop called Ah Muk Noodle in SS15 Subang – citing the food [] The post Ah...
It took me more than 40 call attempts using two different Malaysian number to book a set at Ryo Sushi in Singapore – and I never got through to the other line. But my good friend Jeen called using her Singapore line and got through almost immediately, so you might want to attempt that if [] The...
My first Mr. Ho dining experience was with Jien, who took me there for my 18th birthday back when they had a restaurant in Mid Valley. I remember enjoying the pork chop with potatoes and sauerkraut – and it was the first of the many food places Jien introduced to me later on. So you [] The post The...
I always find it difficult to say no to fried chicken whether it’s fast food, plainly fried and even more so when it’s twice-fried. Korean fried chicken is one of my Achilles heels; boasting crisp, crackling skin that shatters once you sink your teeth into it. Nanda Chicken in Solaris Mont Kiara serves...
We walked through alleys under the early morning sun, past the stalls in Chow Kit market to locate what was said to be “legendarily” good nasi lemak and pork porridge. Only after 30 minutes of wandering around that we managed to find the nasi lemak stall in mention – I reviewed it here. While our...
Jien and I have been frequenting Fei Fan Hotpot of late as we find the food pretty good value for money and taste wise, decent. We first tried Fei Fan in SS15 Courtyard before sticking to their other outlet at 163 Retail Park in Mont Kiara. I prefer the latter due to location. Fei Fan [] The post Fei...
I’ve been hearing mixed reviews about the hawker stalls at Imbi Market in ICC Pudu – some tell me the food is terrible while others remain hardcore fans, namely the pork noodles. My in-laws fall under the former category, insisting that a visit will prove to be disappointing knowing how particular Jien...
Indian cuisine is one of my favourite types of food to eat – it’s like comfort food and I always have to eat it after a trip abroad. Jien and I have kept Chola Kitchen on our to-try list for quite some time and we finally paid them a visit a few weeks back when [] The post Chola Kitchen, Klang...
The Retox Brunch at Flock in W Kuala Lumpur is just the perfect place for those seeking something fun and vivacious. Available every first Sunday of each month, I think this might just be one of the best buffet brunches available in the city. Price-wise and food-wise. Of course, I expect no less from W...
