Today is the first time I have had the pleasure of eating dimsum, that is not served in the traditional dimsum manner. Generally, the fundementals of a dimsum experience are, a big round table, large buzzing families, a noisy dining area and many chinese people crammed into one table, around a lazy susan, eating, laughing [...]
Another great restaurant to check out for the MIGF festivities is Lai Ching Yuen. Me and the hubby just dined there last week and we can attest to the fact that the food is good. If you are wondering why the name Lai Ching Yuen sounds unfamiliar, it’s because it used to be called Zing. [...]
Imagine our amazement when we were told that Elegant Inn now offers steamboat for dinner. Not just any old sort of steamboat, but rather high quality ingredients, that go with an equally fantastic stock. Most of the time, I try to slink low and avoid eye contact when someone suggests steamboat for dinner. I find [...]
Barbecue is its own world, moving to unalterable rhythms and primordial fumes. Unfortunately, here in Kuala Lumpur, the whole BBQ culture is missing. Unlike in the great US of A or Australia, our hot and humid weather does not encourage us to bring out the “barbie” in the afternoon, and just work up a good sweaty [...]
The fundementals of a perfect dimsum experience are these.. a comfortable dining hall, large buzzing crowds including multigenerational Chinese families all seated and crammed into one huge table, gathered around a big, lazy susan, and everyone talks at the top of their voices and has something better to say than the next person. A silence [...]
Sunday’s Food porn.. J pork burger – RM7.90 J porky bun – RM16.90 a true monster of a bun! A burger by any other name, would taste as sweet. Because it’s a Sunday, and I am in a good mood, and I deserve it. After a satisfying work out, me and Cumi like nothing [...]
Ever had a place catch your eye, but never the time to stop and check it out? Well, Restoran Setapak Teochew has always been sidelined, not by choice but due to the fact that we are always rushing off to some other place, and always just missing out eating here for some reason or other. [...]
Smartly dressed locals in the know, head for this casually elegant restaurant, which is in the middle of the down-town bustle, yet well concealed on the third floor of Imperial Sheraton. It sits in a nook, behind an opulent entrance where a lantern and striking red curtains hang in cascading fashion form the ceiling. From [...]
Everytime I get a dinner invitation to Chef Choi’s my palms get sweaty. It’s almost like the anticipation of spring, a first kiss, a lover’s rendezvous. Exciting, elicit, gone almost as quickly as it starts and always leaves you hankering for more. Even before you have time to ponder just how much more succulent Japanese [...]
Poached egg with black cream on dried scallop toast When I recently read this article in the Guardian UK on how to poach an egg, I realized that I was on to something. Something good. The article mentions luminaries like Julia Child, Marcus Wareing and Delia Smith amongst the people who know their eggs and [...]
