Warm and nice cafe-styled restaurant that offers both Western food and a few Asian inspired dishes as well. The interior has an industrial feel about it, very chic yet exudes coziness; something i always look for when i subconsciously create my home dining space in my head. We were greeted with an apologetic smile as the place
Not really a flattering photo that we had taken but the real thing is delicious! It’s my Chocolate Tiramisu birthday cake from Levain Boulangerie & Patisserie. Extremely rich and lavished with gorgeous pieces of chocolates inside and out. I’m a little overwhelmed with the abundance of chocolates since i actually finished this 400g cake
Few weeks ago, there was a food programme on tele about pan mee. We came home and turned on the tv and there he was, Bryan Wong slurping away at some delicious looking pan mee. Don’t know who is Bryan Wong? This is he, the Singaporean actor/tv host. Oddly, he was introducing what
Ever a fussy fish head noodle eater, i will never order them unless it comes highly recommended. So for a long while, the only fish head noodle i am willing to have is those at Tao Xiang, which by the way i’m all praises. Norway Salmon Fish Noodle (i’m not sure if that’s the
Yi Yan Congee Restaurant had been around for ages although we had not visited it once. This is because they specialize in congee which is not what i usually would go out to eat since it’s so easy to cook myself. The shop is on the same row as its sister company which is
T’was the day we ventured into Petaling Street in attempt to satisfy my latest, most probably short, fling with crafting. We were there hunting for fabrics and sewing materials. I recall walking through Petaling Street almost every day during high school days, heading towards the tuition centre nearby. Not my favorite place to loiter back then
Ever since the first time i tried Fish Maw Soup ala Foo Chow style, which means plenty of fragrant red rice wine in it, i was hooked. The sweet and sour flavor of the soup and the crunchy fish maw which wonderfully absorbs the taste is very addictive. Once, very long ago i pestered
We were on the way to Opus at Bangsar to satisfy our pasta cravings but made a U-turn once we saw the traffic congestion. Instead with grumbling stomachs we headed back to 1 Utama to pay a second visit to Dave’s. Hey, i’m confused. Did they changed the name? Or was i mistaken the
You are probably getting bored with reviews after reviews about nothing but food in shopping malls and Kepong, i know i am, but we are on tight budget and even tighter imagination so please bear with us for a few more months of dull, dull reviews. On a brighter note, dining in Kepong means
What makes Chan Sow Lin Steamed Fish Head so sought after among Klang Valley people? Perhaps someone once ventured into Chan Sow Lin road after a trying day at work and decided to chance upon the fish head shop with the big red billboard right at the corner of the road and with a
Cheras is definitely a place less ventured (by us) when it comes to cari makan. Which is why we are uber fortunate to have a tour guide in handy LOL. The sister and the boyfriend had invited us to sample pork noodle at Restaurant Kui Lam in Taman Cheras (Taman Yulek) since forever. So
Every year i dread the first day of CNY because it’s a family tradition to be vegans for a day (i love my meat too much). More than often the vegetarian restaurants are extremely pack so the service can get really poor. Usually the food at other restaurants is expensive and the food gluten-laden
With Chinese New Year just days ahead, it’s hard not to get into the festive mood. So have you done all your CNY shopping and preparations? Have you stocked up on mandarin oranges, bakua and gifts for your family and friends? If you have no idea what to bring when you are visiting on CNY,
Melaka is famous for it and locals raves about it; others are partial to it while some just find it nothing out of the ordinary. Whatever it is, the chicken rice ball so unique to Melaka, is a dish you must try for yourself to judge. What set ordinary chicken rice and chicken
Juicy, tender pork burgers are my all time favorite. It’s a shame that there aren’t that many places that you could find pork burgers here in Malaysia. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t enjoy them especially when it’s so easy to make the patties from scratch. For New Year’s eve we stayed at home
A trip to Melaka is not complete without tasting the famous Melaka dessert – Cendol. Gula Melaka aficionados will find the cendol in Melaka to die for as they are heavy laden with coconut milk (santan) and the finest palm sugar in Melaka. And speaking of Cendol, if you happen to be in the
Believe it or not i’ve never been to Melaka my whole life. It’s only 2 – 3 hours drive from KL but i just have never taken the time to visit the state which is so well known for its food. I’m glad 2011 ended on a nice note with a one day trip
Do you love eggs? I do! I’ll polish my plate in a jiffy if there are eggs. Eggs are healthy and delicious and very versatile too. There are so many ways to cook an egg and each style taste uniquely good; you could boil it, fry it, scramble it, bake it, poach it or
Watami has more than 600 restaurants in Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Shenzhen and Shanghai up to date. A new one has opened in 1 Utama recently. It is the second Watami shop (first in Pavilion) in Malaysia. I’m liking it but i hope they keep up with the good service and quality of food
The best carrot cake i’ve ever had and i’m seriously not exaggerating. I don’t know how Suanson does it but, their Carrot Walnut cake is so moist and with just the perfect amount of sweetness; it’s to die for. Geez, and i don’t even like carrot cake before this! ————————————–
I still can recall the first time i had Sang Har Mee (Prawn Noodle) at Keong Kee. I was really impressed with the size and the freshness of the prawn and was absolutely loving the gravy. And it has been a really long while since we’ve last visited the restaurant so for Mom’s birthday
Oh when was the last time we had Korean food? I think it was exactly one year ago for the same special occasion (Pipu’s birthday) last year! LOL! This year we lunched at Han Woo Ri Korean BBQ Restaurant for some good old Korean BBQ. Yums! Han Woo Ri is one among
Kepong people must really love their Bak Kut Teh because the many existing BKT shops doesn’t stop new shops from populating this area. A new one that had just sprung up 2 months ago at Bandar Menjalara, Kepong is Sekmechoy Restaurant – specializing in Claypot Pepper Bak Kut Teh. In fact, Sek Me Choy had
Dakasi is probably in every corner of Guangzhou! Where ever we went we were bound to see a Dakasi stall or shop. It’s a huge favorite of the sister’s boyfriend; i lost count of how many he consumed within the 3 days we were in Guangzhou. Dakasi originates from Taiwan but it’s
Continuing with my China food entry (even though it’s 7 months too late), here is a restaurant that i absolutely adore in Futian, Shenzhen. It is the Tao Yuan Restaurant (陶源酒家) which serves superb dim sum before noon. The interior is extremely classy with a huge hall and beautiful chandeliers hanging over
