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…

I heard about WOP Pizzeria in Plaza Damas from my good friend, who suggested I give the place a try since I’m always game for a good wood-fire pizza. Since Jien is an even bigger fan of pizzas, we went there for lunch the next day itself. We arrived at…
I meant to visit FY Lunch & Break in OUG sometime in March after seeing a random post about their “Sarawak Laksa fried rice” while browsing my Instagram feed. That visit was put on hold as our government instructed the country to go on MCO, so my visit to FY…
My craving for Vietnamese food is sporadic – it’s not my favourite cuisine per se but when the craving hits, it can last for weeks. Sometimes months. And during one of those “days”, Jien and I visited Banh Mi Café in Taman Desa; said to be the home of fresh…
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…
