Malaysian cuisine is something I enjoy eating – from Chinese delicacies to traditional Malay dishes, I like them all. Rasa Utara offers a good range of Malaysian favourites, mostly from the Northern region such as daging rendang utara, ayam goreng cili lagenda and sup ekor. I really enjoyed the sup…

For the first time in years, rif and I didn’t travel over the long weekend so we decided to visit the Ali, Muthu & Ah Hock in Kuala Lumpur, the second outlet after the original spot in Oasis Damansara. I find the outlet in KL more old school with its scruffy-looking…
I remember when the 1Malaysia concept came about 5 years ago – I was competing in a national beauty pageant and was forced to pretend to understand what it meant or at least, “wing it” when it came to Q&A with the press. Frankly, I have no idea why they…
Rail Canteen in Kota Damansara has plenty of potential – run by the family members of the original Kluang Railway Coffee in Johor. The décor at the Kota Damansara outlet is modern yet unpretentious, with plenty of natural light through the large window panels. The place gets pretty packed come…
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…
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…
I’m not that huge a fan of rice, but am always in the mood for a good plate of nasi kandar. I used to patronize the two popular nasi kandar restaurants at Jalan TAR, before making myself a regular at the nasi kandar place in Puchong. While the nasi kandar…
Nasi Kandar Ibramsha I used to get my nasi kandar fix from Nasi Kandar Ibramsha and it is best to reach the restaurant before 12noon or after 2pm. Otherwise, be prepared to join the long queue. Prices have skyrocketed since my first visit in 2005 – a plate of rice…
It’s been a while since I checked out the hawker food scene at Jalan Imbi and was glad I tried the famous kai si hor fun (dry hor fun with shredded chicken) at Mei Sin Coffeeshop last weekend. The place was hot and stuffy as ventilation was very bad, so…
He was never that fond of curry laksa. I on the other hand could not get enough of it; I tend to order a bowl of curry laksa whenever I can. Seeing how much I enjoy this spicy-creamy delight, rif’s parents picked me up for lunch one afternoon and took…
