This year’s Mid-Autumn Festival seems especially competitive – packaging, price and flavour-wise. Every brand I know has evidently stepped up their game in putting their best mooncakes forward. Here are 9 mooncakes to try (and to gift) this Mid-Autumn Festival. Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur Year on year, the team…
Food Reviews
Kouign amann is quite possibly my favourite pastry to eat – if I could only pick one. Think of it as a denser version of croissant that’s caramelised with plenty of sugar and salted butter. Hence the name “kouign-amann”, French for butter and cake. One can find a pretty decent…
I’ve gotten some pretty solid yong tau foo recommendations after this review, and SM Yong Tau Foo in Klang caught my eye. There were several readers who said the same thing – that SM Yong Tau Foo is one of the best in town. To be honest, I rarely peg…
I was told Cheong Foh Cafe serves the best coffee in Klang. It is also said to be one of the oldest and arguably the busiest kopitiam in Klang town. Seeing how the locals rave about this, Jien and I decided to pay them a visit when we ventured into…
Nero Nero in DC Mall is a recommendation from a friend who has a fairly discerning palate when it comes to good food; Italian especially. Jien and I had a rather enjoyable lunch the first time around so we returned soon after with our firstborn in tow. I reckon many…
It took me two visits and one takeaway meal from Yi Feng Restaurant in OUG before I can write what I opine about this establishment. A Chinese version (read: non-halal) of a Malaysian kopitiam so expect hawker favourites like wantan noodle with char siew and siew yuk, and pastries with…
It’s been a while since I visited a Ramadan bazaar, so I decided to check out four bazaars to see what’s available and if there were any unique dishes I can find. The number of Covid-19 cases are still on the rise so if you’re planning to check these bazaars…
I’ve heard and read good things about Omega Pork Noodle in Kota Damansara – some say it serves one of the best pork noodles in town so Jien and I had to see for ourselves. Expect a queue if you want indoor seating, but if you’re fine with being seated…
I’ve always enjoyed eating Sichuan cuisine – whether it’s hotpot or mapo tofu, I can’t get enough of them. Problem is, mandarin really isn’t my forte and exploring China-style restaurants is a tad intimidating for me (even more, Jien). We stumbled upon Fu Cheng Restaurant by chance, while looking for…
I’ve been on a lookout for places that serve Sang Har Mee over the years. The noodles (whether kuay teow or yee mee) has to have a good amount of wok hei while the gravy needs to be richly flavoured with an underlying sweetness from the freshwater prawns. Restoran Kow…
