A MALAYSIAN FOOD & TRAVEL BLOG
Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa, an established name in Kampung Baru since 1973. The brand name is so strong that they have ventured into franchising now, with 12 branches available in Klang Valley and Malacca. Despite having a bad prior experience that we have decided not to blog about it, we will always give a restaurant a second chance unless it's a horrible transgression. So we said yes to the … [Read more...]
Gourmet Burger or Street Burger? Sorry, but I'd take a messy, sloppy burger with overflowing juice that leaves my shirt stained, especially on days when cash runs low. KampungBoy's friend, Sehli introduced us to Brother John's burger some time ago and there is no turning back. It has remained as one of our favourite burger stall. The secret lies in the generous squeeze of various sauces that … [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...]
Sorry for the hiatus. I just came back from a short holiday in Bangkok & Pattaya. Should I blog about Bangkok? :) We have always been passing by Betty's Midwest Kitchen and it is alway seen with a good crowd. "Famous ar?", asked KampungBoy. "I really have no idea." I answered with a shrug. However, reviews on Betty's Midwest Kitchen from Food4Thot and The Normad Gourmand have further … [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...]
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...]
When I first met you five years ago,I could not stand this arrogant man that stood before me and you dislike me for my intimidating stares. For some strange reason, chemistry sparks between us and I knew you were the one and only one for me. Thanks for changing my life for the better, thanks for tolerating my tantrums and my emotional moments, and many thanks for the years of happiness and joy … [Read more...]
There is no need to leave your conscience at home as you give in to that sinful pleasure of a delicious sweet treat at Dessert's Bar. Here, they have thought about what constitutes a healthy dessert while retaining the yummy factor in it. I’m glad that Debbie and Lynndy, the marketing executive of Dessert’s Bar invited me over. It was a fun girls’ night out where we oooh and ahhh over … [Read more...]
Just a few doors away from Vintry, Ribs by Vintry has a similar menu but most people come here for their R-I-B-S. Bad business strategy I would say, thou shall never put all your eggs into a basket. But apparently it works another way for Vintry because most of the tables in both premises were seated on the Friday night when we dined in. … [Read more...]
