Since then, JJ Swiss Roll has expanded to 3 outlets and the one nearest to me is actually this "shop" (more like a kiosk with chiller and all) located at the back corner of De' Mouth, a Chinese restaurant. I went back home few months back, with a mission at hand - … [Read more...]

Every traveler dreamt of the encounter of small town cafe serving honest and tasty local food. Bidor, located between Ipoh and Kuala Lumpur via the North South Expressway is often related to seedless guava, durian, gai zai beng (crispy chicken biscuit) and duck noodles.
