Ipoh and cendol are two things I don’t associate together, unlike Ipoh and dim sum or Ipoh and nga choy kai. But my good friend told me about this really amazing cendol stall called Cendol Mari Gunung Rapat that her father often patronizes – and that I should really give it a try when I’m []...
Eating poached/steamed chicken in Ipoh is a must for Jien and I – because it tastes more superior that what you can get in KL, I feel. Some of my followers told me to try Sam Ma Chicken Rice, citing it to be a local’s favourite when it comes to eating Ipoh nga choy kai. [] The post...
When it comes to Yong Tau Fu, I tend to stick to tried and tested spots because of consistency, like the one from Puchong and Kepong. Two different kinds of yong tau fu and both, I enjoy. I came across this yong tau fu spot in Kepong a couple of weeks ago when I was [] The post Kepong Big Tree Yong...
Every few months, I would head to Semenyih to pay my late mother a visit. And often, I would lament over the (lack of) food choices available — it was either Restoran 52 or the pan mee shop, which I enjoy but have grown a tad tired of after several visits. Tian Tien Lai in [] The post Tian Tien...
Moon De Moon Restaurant in Ipoh has received many, many raves about their delicious kai si hor fun over the years – apparently, it’s the go-to spot for a bowl of silky-smooth noodles in prawn and chicken broth, among the locals. I only paid this place a visit a couple of weeks back, when my []...
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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
It’s been more than 10 years since I blogged about my favourite char kuay teow spot in KL – Robert Char Kuay Teow in Section 17 PJ. Jien and I have been patronising his stall since we were in college and now that he recently relocated to another coffeeshop across the road, I figured it [] The...
Penang folks tend to be slightly more defensive (and patriotic) when it comes to their food, especially those from the island, I feel. I say this because I often receive comments and emails from Penangites whenever I write about food in Penang or Penang food in Klang Valley. I first visited Hon Kei back in...
One of the few food places Jien took me to during our courtship days was Ah Weng Koh Hainan Tea – he would pick me up at 7.30am and drive me all the way to Imbi for a breakfast of kaya toast and Hainan tea. Back then, I didn’t know much about food so I [] The post Ah Weng Koh Hainan Tea, ICC Pudu...
Taste Legendary Nasi Lemak has been popping up on my news feed of late – numerous post shares from friends and acquaintances, claiming the nasi lemak is very good. With so many rave reviews, it’s hard not to want to try it for myself. So I dragged myself out of bed at 7am on a [] The post Taste...
Jien often comes home from work with food; his attempt to show me love and care. He would have takeaway fried chicken, burgers and of late, pork noodles from this lunch place he’s been frequenting called CK Noodle House in Bandar Sunway. We went there together recently as he wanted me to try the other...
A second edition of the XR 21 Mastery Gala, John Walker Sons XR 21 celebrates the memoirs of Penang through the best of Malaysian cuisine, paired with the exceptional flavours and craft of the blended Scotch whisky. The Mastery Gala was held at the compound of Colonial Penang Museum where some of the...
These days, writing consistently is a challenge for me as I juggle between my new role as a mother, the creative head of my marketing agency and the author of this blog. There’s plenty I want to write about but finding a couple of hours to spare isn’t easy. But here I am today – [] The post...
My in-laws are adventurous when it comes to food – they are constantly exploring new places to eat, much more than Jien and I do these days. In a way, they have become the food radar for this blog; updating me on their new discovery weekly. Lubuk Bangku in Bangsar is one of those places [] The post...
As a kid, I thought Sunrise serve “the best duck in the whole wide world” because it was the only roast duck my dad would eat but the minute I sank my teeth into the roast duck from Four Season in Bayswater, my world changed. Since then, I’ve been on a lookout for good roast [] The post BBQ...
A bowl of well-made pork noodles is forthright comforting, especially when the broth is done well. When it comes to noodle preference, I always opt for hor fun (kuay teow) for that slippery texture and mild-tasting nature – which doesn’t alter the flavour of the soup. Ah Or Pork Noodles in Sunway...
