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…

I was told by my brother and father about the food at Cheong Hin in Seri Kembangan – apparently the place is known for their steamed fish and curry fish head. We went there for the first time after an outing at a petting zoo nearby, with my brother and…
Gen Penang is one of the more memorable fine dining concepts I’ve had in 2020, not that I’ve eaten a lot of fine dining in the last year; no thanks to the lockdown. This concept centres around local ingredients, prepared using innovative cooking methods to accentuate the flavours and evoke…
Wantan mee is one of Jien’s favourite things to eat but not quite mine, though I’ve grown to enjoy it over the years due to influence from him and my father in-law. K Intan Wantan Mee in Section 17 PJ has been around for many years and I’ve driven past…
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…
Tai chow places are aplenty in Klang Valley but finding a decent one requires luck and plenty of trial and error. Yan Wo Seafood Restaurant in Aman Suria was on my list to try for quite some time, but it was only late last year that I managed to pay…
My first Croisserie experience was when my friend Wendy sent a bag of assorted pastries to my office – it had all my favourite things to eat inside: croissant, kouign amann, curry donut, canelé and pain au chocolate. Jien and I paid the Damansara Heights outlet a visit the following…
When I wrote and vlogged about Foo Hing Dim Sum in Puchong, quite a number of my followers asked me to check out Jin Xuan Hong Kong which is a few doors away instead. Apparently, “Foo Hing is overrated” and only meant for those who aren’t familiar with Puchong. So…
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,…
