Hui Mui in Johor Bahru oozes an old school charm amidst the row of new cafés along Jalan Dhoby and Jalan Trus. Established since 1946, the place is said to serve the original Hainanese chicken chop in JB. We initially wanted to pop by It Roo Café just up the road but it wasn’t open [] The post...
I like to believe there are three types of noodle eaters out there – the kon loh (dry style) eater, soup noodles eater and the soup drinker. I fall under the soup drinker category and would always finish the soup/broth before my noodles. Dry style noodles aren’t quite my thing as I love it when...
Cheese seems to be the magic ingredients for everything these days – cheese fried chicken, cheesy cream soup, cheese with ramen and now, cheese with bak kut teh. Jien overheard (eavesdropped) a bunch of college students raving about the “damn nice and super awesome” cheese bak kut teh from B.A.J...
I was never big on pork noodles until I discovered Machi, and now we have it at least once every week. Whenever we ask our friends where their favorite pork noodles place is, the answer we often hear is "Peter's Pork Noodles".There are two Peter's Pork Noodles stall in Brickfields. The original stall is...
Pan mee or mee hoon kueh when done right, is comfort food for me. There’s something satisfying about this humble bowl of handmade noodles, served with sweet ikan bilis broth and pork slivers. My teammate told me about the pan mee at Kah Ping in Jalan Gelugor – said to be the best pan mee [] The...
Tawau food is said to be one of the tastiest in Sabah where fresh seafood is aplenty. It was during my first visit to this developing city that I tried the fish noodles at Kedai Kopi Hong Hong in Taman Megah Jaya. I didn’t know what to expect as I’ve never been to East Malaysia [] The post Kedai...
Penang food is one of my favourite things to eat – from robustly flavoured curry noodles to something as simple as koay toew th’ng, I enjoy them all. It was at Green Lane Noodles in Cheras that I found hearty Penang favourites that tasted as close as one can get from the state itself. It [] The...
When a good friend posted about her experience at Hot Bowl White Curry Mee in Penang, Jien and I were sold. We’ve been looking for a good place to indulge in our curry mee craving as my usual spot in Air Itam has become a tad difficult to access since it’s right smack in the [] The post Hot Bowl...
Subang Jaya is fast becoming one of my favourite places to discover hidden gems as there’s plenty to explore amidst the multitude of cafés. Through a tip-off, Jien and I found ourselves in the middle of Pasar Moden MPSJ in SS15 Subang Jaya (SS15 Wet Market) where tasty noodles and fried rice can be...
Im very open to recommendations from friends and fans, on what they think is the best of a particular cuisine or dish. These recommendations are what keeps me geared up and excited to explore the food possibilities out there. Plus, its good to have people do the thinking for you...
Chicken rice happens to be one of my least favourite things to eat; I try to avoid this whenever possible except when Im in Ipoh, where steamed chicken reigns supreme. When Jien suggested chicken rice at Kar Heong in SS14 for lunch not too long ago, I wasnt keen. I thought to myself,...
Toast Roast holds plenty of memories for me; I first knew of them 6 years ago, when they started in a random shoplot in SS2. Since then, I’ve visited them numerous times for my char siew fix, bringing along with me friends and family who share the same love for char siew. The owners [] The...
Sang Nyuk Mee (生肉面 in Chinese) is a Sabah specialty – essentially pork noodles but prepared the Sabahan way. While there are several outlets in Klang Valley that offers Sang Nyuk Mee, I only tried it when I visited Tawau in October last year. We went to Kedai Kopi Hing Lee, which is reputed to...
There are times when simple food makes a big difference – like a plate of fried rice with sunny side up. Fuss-free but hits the spot. Uncle Soon Fried Rice in SS15 Subang Jaya serves a pretty decent version and is said to command a long queue during lunch hour on weekdays. I went there [] The post...
Pan mee is a dish I enjoy tucking into especially when the weather is chilly. I remember being homesick and desperate during my student days in the UK – I googled a pan mee recipe and tried making some for dinner. Needless to say, the outcome wasn’t pleasant. The pan mee in Semenyih is said []...
There’s something about roti canai that screams comfort food – a simple staple of ghee-laced flatbread, pulled and tossed to create air pockets for that light, fluffy texture. You can find several variations to this humble dish; from a basic roti bawang to an elaborate version with meat, cheese and...
“Happy Garden has plenty of good food I’ve yet to discover”, so I’d say to friends who ask me about my food hunts. When it comes to chicken rice, I’ve only tried the one at Kum Kee which was pretty good. New Lian Hin is located on the opposite end of Kum Kee Chicken Rice, [] The post New...
Happy Garden is an area filled with hidden gems, like this unassuming “big fry” (tai chow) stall in San Kee Restaurant. I chanced upon this when I checked out the not so impressive char siew place a few doors away – quite a number of patrons were tucking into plates of Cantonese fried kuay teow...
Bak Kut Teh isn’t something I regularly indulge in – a ritual that is only possible if you happen to live in Klang, or near enough. So when I do make time for bak kut teh in Klang, I try and make sure I only get the best ones possible. Alas, we weren’t as lucky [] The post Weng Heong Bak Kut...
We love Sarawak laksa, so a couple of weeks ago, we visitedHou Wong Kopitiam in Jalan Ipoh to to satisfy our cravings.When we arrived at the restaurant, we only spotted a pan mee stall. But they still had the banner outside the shop showing "Sarawak Noodles". We panicked, thinking "oh no, is the stall...
