Anyone who frequently drive through the main road of Ayer Hitam town will have at least an inkling to Tang Chuan Kopitiam or bun shop. In fact, it is so famous amongst Singaporeans that they won’t blink an eye to cross the border for Tang Chuan’s big pork bun. Most of the time, Tang Chuan […]
Pisang Goreng Mawar: Best Banana Fritters in Johor Bahru
If you think it’s absurd to name the best pisang goreng (banana fritters) in a region, then you have not met Pisang Goreng Mawar of Johor Bahru. This is where people of JB will direct you to, if you’re looking for a good place for tea-time, or breakfast. As long as you don’t hate bananas, […]
Ah Seng Bak Kut Teh @ Subang Permai, Shah Alam
They say two-thirds work and one-third play. This is true, so when CS and I had spent the weekend re-painting our house, we treated ourselves to herbal-rich Bak Kut Teh. Not in Klang, but in Shah Alam’s Ah Seng Bak Kut Teh. Ah Seng Bak Kut Teh wasn’t a new find. My ex-company was in the area, and this Bak Kut Teh was the go-to place when […]
Honolulu Cafe (檀島咖啡餅) @ Sunway Pyramid, Petaling Jaya
Carrying the hashtag best egg tart in Hong Kong could be burdensome. Naturally, expectations ran high when Honolulu Cafe opened its first branch in Malaysia. Everyone anticipated to taste the same buttery egg tarts, as if what they ate in Hong Kong. I, for one, was one of them, but was I wrong? One weekend […]
Huang Chang Chicken Rice Ball @ Batu Berendam, Melaka
Malacca is constantly saturated with tourist. This, and in addition to local who have great love for chicken rice, sums up to long queues and price increase for Malacca Hainanese Chicken Rice. People who got fed up with the exorbitant charges, like me, tends to seek for alternative options. The last trip we were in […]
Hometown Steamboat (好家乡) @ SS2, Petaling Jaya
My cravings for pork bone broth took me to another steamboat seeking night. I asked Wendy for a recommendation of steamboat and the answer was the newly opened Hometown Steamboat in SS2. Hometown Steamboat is a new addition to SS2, but it actually hailed from Bandar Menjalara, ground zero for steamboats. Feels like quite a […]
Lontong @ Pantai Laut, Batu Pahat
Sometime ago, I blogged about Kedai Makan dan Minum Pantai Laut, as one of the best asam pedas available in Batu Pahat. Now, I feel obliged to introduce its other worthy dish – lontong. We are obsessed with lontong, to a great extent. The best lontong in Batu Pahat is still Mak Ani’s, but it’s […]
Thai Tuk Tuk @ Solaris Dutamas, Publika
Good Thai food is hard to come by in Klang Valley, let alone thai street food. I have soft spot for street foods from any part the world, particularly Thai food. Something about eating in a non-frill style and delicious fast meal where I can even eat alone, without being awkward. It is such setting […]
Uncle Don’s @ SS2 Petaling Jaya: Worth the Queue?
Uncle Don’s at SS2 Petaling Jaya could not be more aptly described than the word ‘shot to stardom’. We noticed it since 2016, that at a any time of the day, this cafe bistro will full to its brink. Apparently, its food were cheap and taste rather good, if you’re not picky. So it seems…. […]
Dian Huo Xin Wo Steamboat (点火心窝) @ Kelana Jaya, PJ
While steamboat restaurants are aplenty in Petaling Jaya, very few serve nice pork broth as the soup base. Bone & Pot is our usual favourite, but we decided to try a new place. Dian Huo Xin Wo Steamboat Restaurant had stayed pretty much off my ‘foodie-radar’ for years. It’s former location at SS4 played a […]
