Jien has been talking about the banana leaf rice at Shobana’s Kerala Kitchen in Jalan Gasing for several months now – he visited the restaurant with his colleagues and came home telling me how good the food was. It wasn’t until recently that we went there together, when both our…
Mexican or Tex-Mex food in Malaysia doesn’t appeal to me in general – perhaps my expectations are too high. Perhaps my introduction to Tex-Mex and Mexican food started abroad, that’s why. Which was partly why I hesitated for some time when Jien mooted the idea of visiting Orale in Damansara…
I’ve been hankering for a good bowl of curry laksa of late and decided to settle for one of my reader’s suggestion – Kafe Ipoh Ipoh in SS2. According to her, the food is “as good as Ipoh” so Jien and I paid them a visit to see if that…
My first visit to Bala’s Banana Leaf in Bangsar was almost 5 years ago when they first opened and my experience was above average at best. Over the years, I’ve been receiving comments and recommendations from my readers and followers – citing Bala’s Banana Leaf as better than my regular…
Banana leaf rice happens to be one of the most debated cuisine among my readers and followers – and it’s also one of my favourite things to eat. When Daddy Arumugam Recipe took over the bakery lot in Bangsar Baru, I had mixed emotions. Because I enjoyed the pastries from…

When I first arrived in the UK for my post-graduate studies, my uni mates would rave about how amazing the roast duck in London is – that they would eat it every weekend without fail. Back then, it was also one of the more affordable dining out option for students,…
Like most Malaysians, I tend to have my preference when it comes to food. Especially dishes like curry laksa, nasi lemak, bak kut teh and pork noodles. Siew Kee Pork Noodle in Bandar Menjalara came highly recommended by my friend, who claims this is the “holy grail” of pork noodles.…
Foo Fee in Kepong isn’t the kind of place I would brave the distance from Bangsar for, but I was in the vicinity for a client meeting which made it convenient for me to “drop by for coffee”. My team members told me Foo Fee is popular among the folks…
