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
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
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
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
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
The name of the cafe in English is Cheese Town but it’s 芝心堂 in Chinese which in verbally it sounds similar but literally translate to “Chi Heart Church”. Erm… creative. This cafe if i recall correctly is next to Uniqlo shop (or maybe somewhere very nearby) at Beijing Road. We paid a visit after a long morning of
Our family food excursion brought us to Bar-B-Q Plaza at Jusco Metro Prima, Kepong. Not my first time visiting Bar-B-Q Plaza, but my first at Metro Prima. In fact this new outlet had only been operating for less than 3 months, hence the big crowd in the restaurant and the long queue at the
Oh, another new eatery at Bandar Menjalara! Restaurants are springing up like mushrooms after the rain at this area in Kepong. That’s good news to lazy people like me especially in current rainy season, who prefer to have their meals nearby. It’s a bonus too because it’s a dim sum place and god knows
Chatime is a well known beverage franchise in Taiwan with more than 300 outlets around the world with 20 outlets in Malaysia. Finally, i’ve had my first cup of Chatime bubble milk tea. I realize that i’m rather outdated but i’ll never join in the hype craze of queuing hours for some launching of brand
