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 […]

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.

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.

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 […]
