A Malaysian with her Food and Travel Blog
If you’re looking for old taste, look no further than char hor fun stall at the intersection of Beach Street and Malay Street in Penang. It’s been a long time since we tasted a zi char like this. So what makes this dimly lighted stall perks up out taste buds? Nope, we did not take […]
Back in 2004 when we visited Penang for the first time, a friend brought us for a tomyam mee. It was remarkable! This experience recently came to mind and we wanted to relive it by trying another Penang Tomyam Mee again. Hon Kei Food Corner is one of the places reputed to offer tomyam noodle, […]
Before we started for our Penang trip, I made a list of best Penang char koay teow so we can try at least one or two of them. One of them is Tiger Char Koay Teow on Lebuh Carnavon, not far from Armenian Heritage Hotel. Tiger Char Koay Teow While Ping Hooi Coffeeshop (which houses […]
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 […]
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.

People who got fed up with the exorbitant charges, like me, tends to seek for alternative options. The last trip we were in […]
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 […]
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 […]
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! […]
