Sam U Claypot Restaurant in PJ State used to be one of my regular eating spots when I’m in the area as the claypot fish curry is pretty decent. It’s been a while since I went back until two weekends ago, when I met up with a friend for some wine shopping. They are known [] The post Sam U Claypot...

I first heard about Yu Noodle Cuisine a couple of months back, from a reader who noticed my frequent visits to another popular noodle house.

Nam Heong in Ipoh is one of the pit-stops I’d make when I’m in the city as they offer a range of Ipoh favourites like the egg tarts, which I enjoy. When I heard of their venture into Klang Valley, a part of me felt sceptical – would the food be the same? My recent [] The post Nam Heong,...

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...
