The Laksa diaries: the hunt for the best bowl of Penang Laksa
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Cay-tre vs. Viet Grill
September 26, 2010
301 Old Street, Hoxton / 58 Kingsland Rd, Shoreditch | vietnamesekitchen.co.uk Amongst the mass of Vietnamese haunts along the Pho mile, these 2 sister restaurants are amongst the best of them. Run by the same operator (Vietnamese Kitchen), the once identical menus have slowly bifurcated through the years – Cay-tre staying true to its street […]

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 […]

67 Charing Cross Rd, WC2 | malaysiakopitiam.co.uk | ingested Sun 17th Jan ‘10 If it weren’t for the large Malaysian flag banners flying outside this modest caff, you could easily miss this little gem amidst the hustle bustle of Leceister Square. Despite its seemingly tourist trap location on Charing Cross Road opposite the tube station […]

100 Redriff Road, Surrey Quays, SE16 7LH | 020-7252-1212 | ingested 4 times in ’09 so far If you’re looking for great Vietnamese Street food off the beaten track, this slick South-East London operation can compete with the best of the usual Kingsland Road haunts. Having relocated earlier this year from its once tiny shop-front […]
