Banana leaf rice meals have become a ritual for me, ever since I’ve learnt to appreciate South Indian cuisine. There’s nothing quite like a hearty meal of parboiled rice, assorted curries, vegetables and side dishes, washed down with warm rasam. When rif suggested Curry Leaf in Damansara Uptown shortly after…

You see them on weekends – the long line of brunchers on the sidewalk. Couples on a date, groups of friends, parents with kids and the bleary-eyed late-nighters, all ready for their share of eggs and coffee at The Good Batch in Damansara Utama. Which was why I never visited…
Ever since I tried the Kelantan style ayam percik at Yati and Restoran Jaring, I’d be on a lookout for it whenever I dine at a nasi campur stall. There’s just something about the sticky sweet yet spicy sauce — so addictive, I tell you. At Hayaki Cafe in Damansara…
There is a lot to like about Ratha Raub, the latest chain of Raub’s famous fish head curry and chicken curry in Damansara Uptown. The interior features bold red panels and attractive food photography to give the restaurant a modern look and feel. Plus, I find the service helpful. But…

“Long time no see. How are you?” the lady boss of Hokano said to me. We talked a little and I updated her on what I’ve been up to which to my surprise, she replied, “Oh, I know. My staff follows your blog and Facebook so he told me.”It’s been…
*backdated post rif, Mike and I went to Ah Wah Hokkien Mee at Damansara Utama (at The Champion Duck place) about two weeks back. Ordered a big plate of Hokkien Mee for the 3 of us. The hokkien mee came coated with slightly sticky, savoury black sauce and laden with…
