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 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…
Steamed fish head isn’t something Jien and I eat regularly because we aren’t fans of fresh water fish, especially if it has a muddy taste or scent. Big Tree Lin Kee Steamed Fish Head in Taman Connaught is a recommendation from our friend Wilson, who insists the food will not…
I’ve been meaning to get down to documenting my food hunts more frequently but my schedule has been super erratic now that I have two little ones to manage on top of office work. This visit to Ipoh Road Yong Tau Foo happened last year in December, when Jien and…
Uncle Chua Prawn Mee in Kepong is recommended to me by some of my followers, who claim this shop does it better than the one I blogged about recently. This recommendation intrigued me because Penang prawn noodles are a huge debate – some like it sweeter, some want it lighter,…
Penang Hokkien Mee aka prawn noodles were never my thing – partly because the versions I’ve eaten in Klang Valley didn’t measure up to what you would get from Penang. Thus, it’s only natural that I never quite paid attention to this dish, until a good friend brought me up…
It’s been more than 6 months since our favourite Thai restaurant ceased operation and we’ve been on the lookout for a worthy replacement ever since. One of the places we checked out was Thai Luck in Taman Desa – a popular option on the delivery app and also one that…
