Batu Pahat Best Cendol: Pak ‘O’ and Akbar Cendol
Mention Batu Pahat cendol and anyone would link it to Akbar Cendol and Cendol Pak ‘O’. These are the two most established and probably the oldest surviving cendol stalls in Batu Pahat. There’s story that Akbar Cendol and Cendol Pak ‘O’ are related. I do notice a face resemblance between the two’s family patriarch. But […]
Kari Kambing 40 Hari @ Yong Peng, Johor
Kari Kambing 40 Hari was a rare find during our recent trip to Yong Peng. It was located some kilometers away from the main stretch of Yong Peng town, a place you won’t stumble upon unless you have a purpose to be there. So how did we got to know Restoran Kari Kambing 40 Hari’s […]
Things to Buy From Malaysia
Ever think of things to buy from Malaysia to bring back home to your family and friends? From the cliché batik, key chains to pewter serving ware, have you ever thought of the cheap snacks and food you can grab from Malaysian hypermarkets and groceries? Here are a few of my favorite picks: (Some items […]
Breakfast @ Zok Noodle House Setia Alam
Setia Alam breakfast food scene had always been missing a proper dim sum. Many independent dim sum houses had come and go, after failing to impress aplenty of disgruntled customers. When Zok Noodle House opened their branch in Setia Alam, we were ecstatic cause we had already tried them (Puchong HQ) and liked it. Finally! […]
Macha & Co Banana Leaf @ The Curve
Macha & Co Banana Leaf Restaurant is one of the emerging players in the highly popular banana leaf rice competition. I didn’t notice its presence, when it first opened in Kota Damansara. It was through a friend (whom I always hang out with at Kanna Curry House) who texts me, said that its business is […]
Restaurant Soto Shah Alam @ Seksyen 8
Restaurant Soto Shah Alam in Seksyen 8 is one of our favorite place for Malay style breakfast. The reason is simple – it makes a good lontong, almost as good as the one I had back in Johor. I once asked the owner, whether they were of Johor origin, but the answer was no. She […]
Food Truck @ Setia Alam, Shah Alam
Food truck is in trend these days. After accomplishing many success stories in Petaling Jaya, food truck had arrived in Setia Alam now. We started to pay attention to them, upon seeing how their tables were getting fully occupied these days. We thought, something must be worth trying out, right? One particular truck stands out […]
The Original Boat Noodle @ Setia City Mall, Shah Alam
Boat noodle is probably the only famed Thai food that I have not tried. I was once told that its sauce contains pig’s blood, the secret ingredient that makes its flavour. Hence I always give it a pass, whenever I am in Thailand I don’t particularly feel good about this. As for CS, he hates […]
Kanna Curry House at Seksyen 17, PJ.
Every time I see a long queue at a banana leaf rice outlet, I always wondered, “what’s up with the overpriced rice on a banana leaf?”. It’s reputation didn’t get any better when the banana leaf rice stall in my office building taste bad. I never thought I will like Kanna Curry House at Seksyen […]
