A MALAYSIAN FOOD & TRAVEL BLOG
Craft Brew has been a favourite hang out spot of us ever since they opened their door to the public last year. I love the fact that it is (quite) near to my house. I love the casual and comfy setting. I love the wait staffs cladded in Super Mario outfit. Uber cute! … [Read more...]
Pho (pronounced fuh) refers to Vietnamese national soup. Hoa means harmony in Vietnamese. Pho Hoa is essentially a family style restaurant that takes pride in their pho and affordable prices.Do you know that Pho Hoa is also the largest Vietnamese restaurant chain in North America but not Vietnam? Thanks to Richard, we were given the opportunities to sample some Vietnamese favourite such as … [Read more...]
It was a beautiful Saturday morning, perfect for reading the papers, drinking a cup of aromatic coffee that awakes our senses while enjoying a full English breakfast. We found ourselves at Jarrod & Rawlins (again & again); courtesy of Elaine who invited us over. There is an enclosed yard with shade trees, a beautiful garden and patio behind the J&R premise. … [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...]
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...]
Tim Pan Kor Kor, a new addition to the already happening row of shop lot in SS2 besides KTZ (reviews here & here), Sanbanto & A Little Dim Sum Place. We were there with the sweet duo, Christine and Chris on a relatively quiet weekday night but the place was crowded. A good sign that the food must be good? Apparently not. We tried their signature Mango Hor Fun on our previous … [Read more...]
