As a kid, I thought Sunrise served “the best duck in the whole wide world” because it was the only roast duck my dad would eat but the minute I sank my teeth into the roast duck from Four Seasons in Bayswater, my world changed. Since then, I’ve been on…

Jien and I have different opinions about steamboat and BBQ – I love anything soupy while he’s a fan of smoky-charred flavours. It’s often difficult to agree on a middle ground between these two options as the 2-in-1 steamboat/BBQ we’ve tried didn’t quite hack it. For me, the beauty of…
RM12.90 can buy you a meal at many fast food restaurants and most hawker spots, but at OMB Noodle Bar in Cheras, RM12.90 can buy you two bowls of noodles in your choice of flavour. OMB stands for One More Bowl, and offers the concept of two bowls of noodles…
There are a few things I would go the distance for and beef noodles are one of them. Whether it’s the Chinese style herbal broth or Vietnamese Pho Bo with amber-tinged broth, I’m game. I came to know about Vietnam Jie in Cheras from a good friend, who claimed the…
Zest Patisserie in Cheras specialises in French pastries and contemporary favourites such as the Caprice, a dessert creation of charcoal waffle with salted egg yolk sauce, caramel popcorn and salted egg yolk ice cream.

Of late, I’ve taken a liking to Malay nasi campur, especially when the stall serves ayam kampung. Nasi Ayam Kampung at Medan Selera Veladrome in Cheras is very popular, and while there are a few stalls selling ayam kampung, I like the selection at Gerai No.3 best. This stall closes…
Restoran Meng Shiang in Taman Yulek is said to serve good char siew wantan noodles. Friends have raved about it and some even claimed it tastes better than the one at Koon Kee. On a Saturday morning, the place is packed with patrons and most of them were waiting for…
Hawker food is something I enjoy eating and despite the occasional incidences of diarrhoea and tummy aches, I’m still not sick of it. There are plenty of choices ranging from mixed rice, chicken rice, soup noodles, fried noodles and so on. While the hawker stalls in Bangsar are pretty convenient…
