A MALAYSIAN FOOD & TRAVEL BLOG
Imbi Market (official name: Bukit Bintang Wet Market) is one of our favourite breakfast spot in KL. Situated just a stone's throw away from Bukit Bintang, Imbi Market is a hawker fare paradise. Visitors to KL should make it a point to have breakfast here, instead of patronizing stalls at Jalan Alor and paying cut throat prices. The place was notoriously packed and chaotic but I find it vibrant … [Read more...]
Focusing on non halal local hawker fare, it is not difficult to guess that the newly opened E.A.T Food Village at Publika shopping gallery became my favourite lunching place. It brings together some of the best hawker food vendors from Klang Valley and North Peninsular Malaysia under one (air-conditioned) roof. The decor reminds diner of yesteryear; with shop facades that look as though time … [Read more...]

Sometimes you just need someone who knows his way around good food in Klang Valley. It was by chance that our stomachs were still rumbling after an event at G Hotel ,so Ken took us all (C&C, Ivy, Mei Yee and Ah Bok) to this no name tandoori chicken place. Some refers it to Uncle Aru's though. Finding Uncle Aru's stall is no easy feat but if you get all the landmarks right - opposite … [Read more...]
Contrary to popular belief, we don't usually carry our DSLR around. So whenever we stumble upon some real good food, we will take pictures of the meals with our humble iPhones. These pictures have been sitting in our archive folders for quite some time and sometimes they make us melancholy for a time when we were hungry. So we are now sharing these low quality pictures by starting the Grub of The … [Read more...]
Cheap eats are fewer and farther in between these days, but we have found a few that will keep you and your wallet stuffed full. Kedai Makanan Ming Hoe, which we affectionately refer as "Jalan Ipoh hokkien mee", is one of it. This unassuming looking restaurant is usually crowded until closing time. Many has complained of long waiting time, so get there as early as 6pm or as late as 10pm. We've … [Read more...]
Seri Kembangan, to most KL city folks, is well off the beaten track. However, SK was our favourite playground during our teen years. For those who are new here, we used to reside in SK when we first started this blog, hence the numerous reviews on eateries around SK. This little Chinese village is jam packed with loads of good food and Kien Kee Sup Pedas Ayam Kampung located behind the Post Office … [Read more...]

*photos taken with iPhone 3GS I have to admit that even though I'm working in the city centre, the Chow Kit area with the most diverse selection of food is still an unexplored territory for me. It wasn't until KampungBoy's family brought us to this fish head noodles place called Tao Xiang at Jalan Tiong Nam. Tao Xiang serves no frills Chinese fare such as bakuteh, stewed pork trotters and … [Read more...]
Nestled in a row of shop lot off Jalan TAR, Restoran Kin Kin itself is an eating establishment that takes pride in their killer chili pan mee. So much pride that I've heard so many horror stories of the grumpy owner and intolerable services. To avoid getting shouted at, we went there on a quiet Sunday morning. I suppose the lady owner was in a jovial mood that day. She smiled while taking our … [Read more...]
Imbi market, situated a mere stone’s throw from Bukit Bintang, is a gourmet's paradise. Me and my colleagues often find ourselves here on a Friday morning that it almost become a ritual, all for the love of a cup of thick and frothy Hainanese coffee. We even have the tea stall owner aka 海南仔 hai nan zai's number. He will reserve a long stretch of table with a "VIP" seating sign placed on … [Read more...]
