A Malaysian with her Food and Travel Blog
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 […]
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 […]
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! […]
‘Summer’ is here in Malaysia, and you will be amazed how I can craved for Thai food, while sweats dripped down my temples. Hence all hail Yee Wen Thai! Cause we got more Thai for ringgits here – Thai chefs, Thai helpers, Thai diners, and an owner who speaks Thai like a native. The dark […]
Whenever I tell someone that I am from Batu Pahat, the usual reaction will be either they do not know where it is, or they will exclaim, “Ahhhh.. the food.” Yes! The food. Don’t be surprise to see all KL and Singapore plate numbered cars swarming the town, during long weekend, for the local food. […]
I hardly like Lam Mee (淋面). Reason is.. most lam mee out there are cooked with way too much cornstarch covering over yellow noodles that inevitably clumps together, resulting a gooey mess of carbohydrates. My colleague brought me to PJ Uptown recently, and although I am not too enthusiastic to have lam mee, I relent […]
No. no.. I won’t be telling the story of ‘xiao long bao’ (Shanghai Soup Dumpling). I never care for these tiny dumplings with alarmingly scalding hot soup dripping from it, especially with the extravagant price tags. Paradise Dynasty in Paradigm Mall became my favourite place for lunch when I was working in an adjacent building. […]
Kedai Makanan Hong Seng is an unremarkable chinese old coffee shop by appearance, but has more than what one expected it to offer. Tucked in a corner in Seksyen 17, Petaling Jaya, it houses the infamous chicken and roast pork rice that garners long queues every day, the brisk business of Kee Mei siew pao […]
