Klang Valley food crawl: The Sequel
The past couple of months of my time off in Malaysia have really flown by. It’s been amazing to have the chance to properly catch up with all my family and friends based here. As the Asia leg of my 3 month weekend draws to a close and I repack my bags for London and […]
The Laksa diaries: the hunt for the best bowl of Penang Laksa
December 8, 2012
For me, no trip back home to Malaysia is complete without a visit to the hawker food haven of Penang. This was my second time back on the island this year and the more I revisit, the more I’m seriously considering upping sticks some day and moving here. When I last blogged about Penang’s hawker food […]
Klang Valley food crawl: a round up of my fav budget eats in and around the Malaysian capital
April 22, 2012
With such immense ethnic diversity, the Malaysian capital is abound with culinary gems aplenty on every street corner. Ask anyone from KL and its surrounding suburbs what their favourite eats are, and you will find the list often varies depending on that particular person’s home ground, tastebuds, ethnicity and social fabric. However, if you start to […]
Penang: Street Food capital of the world
April 14, 2012
With more hawker food stalls per square foot than probably any other place in the world, the island of Penang is a foodie’s dream come true. There is a kaleidoscope of different food cultures and traditions at play here, spanning Chinese, Indian, Malay, Mamak and Nyonya cuisines. In fact, there seem to be more eateries […]
Snö @ Pavillion KL
April 29, 2011
It takes some serious guts and enterprise to wave goodbye to the comforts of a stable day job and go-it-alone in starting up a new business venture. For most people (myself included), the idea of a start-up and being your own boss remain a whimsical dream. A couple of my friends though have blazed the […]
Cilantro vs. Sage: Battle of KL’s fine dining sister restaurants
April 3, 2011
Having been away from home for some time, I’ve been wanting to check-out what the fine-dining scene in KL has become. For some years, the restaurant to beat in my eyes (until it shut down in 2009 for a year of refurbishment) was Cilantro. I’ve always felt that their trademark truffle butter and gorgeous pan-fried Unagi […]
Ngau Kee Beef Noodles @ Tengkat Tong Shin
March 27, 2011
In spite of its overstated neon sign proclaiming its infamous Beef Ball Noodles, Ngau Kee has been operating in this tiny, unglamorous 5-foot alley way at the top of Tengkat Tong Shin for as long as I can remember, with less than 10 tables for patrons to dine ‘in’… by the roadside that is. Restoran […]
Ipoh Old Town – a culinary tour
March 24, 2011
I was back in Ipoh last week to visit Jo and her family which meant it was that time of the year again to quell my cravings for Ipoh’s regional street food specialities. Until my maiden visit last year, I had never actually spent proper time in Ipoh before and hence never knew all the […]
Chilli Pan Mee @ Super Kitchen
March 19, 2011
I’m told by my sister and her boyfriend C that this is the latest must-have street food craze to seize KL… a fiery bowl of Chilli Pan Mee. And one of the places to sample the hottest dish in town is at Super Kitchen. With upwards of 6 branches across Kuala Lumpur and beyond, they’ve certainly laid their […]
Mei Keng Fatt.
April 11, 2010
Lorong Awan 6, 68000 Ampang, Selangor, Malaysia | www.meikengfatt.com When a restaurant business goes to the extent of buying-out its neighbours to convert the land into much needed car-spark space for its growing clientele, it clearly has something good going for itself. My family has been going to Mei Keng Fatt since the late 90s, […]
IC.Gathering@Oversea
February 20, 2010
86, Jln Imbi, Kuala Lumpur | www.oversea.com.my | reunited 19th Feb 2010 I can’t remember the last time my stomach was subject to a Restoran-Oversea-style 8 course Banquet meal. I think my stomach has actually shrunken over the years I’ve been in London… probably a side effect of too many poncey European 3 course meals. But with so many Imperial […]
TheOneInTheCorner.
February 18, 2010
Lorong Ara Kiri, Lucky Gardens, Bangsar, K.L. | ingested 17th Feb 2010 I’ve realised that this is only the second time I’ve been back home since my family moved out of the Ampang Road house to Bangsar. Having spent the large part of my life growing up smack in the middle of town, I’m still finding my feet in the new neighbourhood … recalibrating where the […]
