Chinese New Year Feast @ the Tham’s: 2012 edition
If there’s one good reason I would stick around the UK for Chinese New year as opposed to going back to KL, it would be to attend the awesome CNY party which T and his family put on at their home in Surrey. Year after year, T’s family, led by his dad, cook up a […]
Yauatcha: Posh Dim Sum does exist after all
September 18, 2011
For many years, I had procrastinated from Dim Sum at Yauatcha. Call it a mixture of skepticism and stubbornness, but I had never bought into the idea of ‘Posh’, Michelin starred Dim sum (… well until now that is). When I think Dim Sum, I think of a budget meal with friends & family round […]
Candy Cafe
July 3, 2011
I find that few places in Chinatown do decent Asian desserts which is ironic because its exactly after the usual hyper-tasty, MSG-packed Chinese meal where one tends to need and crave dessert more than ever. This little first-floor cafe hidden just off the main stretch on Macclesfield Street though is seeking to stir-up an oriental […]
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 […]
XinJiang Style Lamb Chops
January 9, 2011
If there was one thing I didn’t do enough in 2010, it was trying my hand at new cuisines at home. It’s not that I didn’t do any home-cooking at all last year. But in the 2 or 3 times a week that I did cook something up, out of sheer convenience and laziness, it […]
Gourmet San.
November 28, 2010
Great Chinese food is often hard to come by in the East end. The only semi-reliable place I’ve frequented since relocating from the masses of choices in my old Bayswater neighbourhood is My Old Place (‘Lau Ti Fang’) on Middlesex Street. Their Northern Chinese food, though a bit hit-and-miss, is seriously tasty… Chillies, Vinegar and […]
Nasi Campur.
October 10, 2010
If there is one thing I miss about home, it’s the luxury of being spoilt with at least 3 different home-cooked dishes with rice at the dinner table on any given day. Here are a two ever-reliable Malaysia-Chinese-Nyonya staples I turn to to quell the cravings. Oven Steamed Cod in Soya Sauce, Tomatoes, Shallots and […]
Baozi Inn.
May 31, 2010
25 Newport Court, WC2H 7JS | ingested Sunday 23rd May 2010 Another one of China Town’s newer breed which only opened more recently in the past couple of years, Baozi Inn’s claim to fame is its regional Sichuanese street food. A warning: for those unfamiliar with Sichuan cuisine, its a far-cry from your generic Roast […]
Leong’s Legends.
April 6, 2010
4 Macclesfield Street, Chinatown W1D | Brunched Sat Apr 2nd ’10 Chinatown has seen a revival over the past couple of years, with a flourish of new eateries that do more than just archetypal Dim-Sum and Cantonese-style Roast Duck. There’s Baozi Inn which has brought in good Sichuanese… Rasa Sayang that has brought in authentic Malaysian […]
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 […]
