A MALAYSIAN FOOD & TRAVEL BLOG
With the famed Mo Sang Kor Bakuteh, Pao Xiang Bakuteh and Fatty Mee Hoon Kuih all located within the same row of shop lots, Taman Berkeley of Klang is probably a good place to do a mini food crawl. However with only so much space left to relish our food, we opted for Fatty Mee Hoon Kuih since Mo Sang Kor has a branch outlet in Lot 10 Hutong while Pao Xiang already has a presence in One Utama and … [Read more...]
Lotus Root with Fish Paste Grand Imperial is one of my favourite dim sum place in KL; you'll see us stuffing ourselves silly with dim sum when the pay cheque's out. During days when moolah runs low, we'll resort to our favourite neighbourhood dim sum restaurant Jin Xuan. My colleagues have raved about the food, and one of them chose to have his wedding reception here! We took their words … [Read more...]
How was your Chinese New Year Celebration? We travelled home (Kuala Terengganu & Ipoh) to visit friends and families. Traditions remain strongest in small towns, a big reason why we look forward to join our families to to celebrate the most joyous holiday of all. The Chinese New Year holiday has always been a quiet time in Terengganu, the state where Chinese made up a mere 2.6% of the total … [Read more...]
A year ago, Ken from foodpoi told us, "You must try this stall call Ah Khai at Section 20! Their char siew is simply divine! Ah Khai, the Bangla look alike stall owner used to work in Hong Kong to master the technique of roasting." A month ago, David from Nuffnang told us the same thing. He described the char siew as fork tender with crispy burnt bits, and its cut into large chunky … [Read more...]
While everyone was partying the night away as they usher in the new year of 2010, we headed to Lala Chong for some rockin’ Chinese-style seafood. I believe Lala Chong needs no further introduction as they have made a name in the local dining scene as the famous seafood restaurant opposite Terminal 3 of Subang Airport. Little did we know that they have expanded to Kampung Sungai Kayu Ara, … [Read more...]
Char Siew Zai is one place that we discovered by chance and has been going back ever since. The reasons being? 1. High tossing wantan mee The noodles are boiled and go through a cold bath to ensure the 'springyness". The breath taking moment come when the cook throw it up high and catch it with a sieve. This is repeated for a few times to ensure that the excessive moisture is well drained. … [Read more...]
I have a confession to make - I'm not a morning person. Being able to sleep till noon is a comforting reminder that I occasionally get time off work and I really appreciate that. So whenever KampungBoy tries to wake me up for breakfast, I would protest, "Sunday's the only morning I can sleep. Can't we eat later?" and turn my back against him. But there's always an exception, there is one … [Read more...]

So I had Tian Tian's Chicken Rice @ Maxwell Food Court last weekend. Three years back, it was so good it brought tears to my eyes but now the standard has dropped considerably. Feel so sorry for Christine and Huai Bin that I dragged over to the long queue. What about our very own champion Chicken Rice? Crowned as the Malaysian Hainan Chicken Rice Open Competition champion in 2007, Tasty … [Read more...]
The title is self explanatory. Together with my usual partners in crime, we drove back to my lovely hometown, Ipoh and practically nonstop binge eating through out the week. I'm now having a hard time adjusting back to our usual de-lata lifestyle here at KL. As usual, the balik kampung rush has choked the highway to death. Time flies when we were having fun gossiping and before we knew it, … [Read more...]
Very often we find ourselves driving around the vicinity of Dataran Sunway Kota Damansara, deciding on a new place to dine. Last Sunday, I spotted the bright neon light signboard of Steam King (what a catchy name!) as me and my friends drove along. So we turned back and parked our car before heading to the restaurant. Apparently, Steam King is made famous by their steamed fishes. We ordered … [Read more...]
UPDATE: Meng Kee @ Tengkat Tung Shun has been reallocated to Jalan Alor (next to Hotel Nova). For those staying around Subang and Shah Alam, you can always get your char siu fix at the branch in Glenmarie without beating the traffic into the city. Having received much press coverage; Meng Kee is still a no frills and humble little eating establishment with minimal renovation. Good food … [Read more...]
