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…
Things To Eat in Cheras
Finding a reputable tai chow restaurant is becoming more and more difficult for Jien and myself these days, as our standards have become rather high after this and this. Still, we’re always on a lookout for reliably good restaurants because “the more, the better”. Our friend told us about Good…
Korean fried chicken is one of the most indulgent things to eat in my opinion – crisp, juicy and (sometimes) saucy, you’ll want more. The best part about Korean fried chicken is that they are fried twice, sometimes thrice so it’s takes the fried bird to a whole new level.…
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…

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…
Cheras Business Centre isn’t an area I would have thought of exploring for food, but a friend took me to Zheng Ji for dinner a couple of months back and I liked what we ate. Jien and I returned again for dinner with the family last weekend and since there…
Penang food is one of my favourite things to eat – from robustly flavoured curry noodles to something as simple as koay toew th’ng, I enjoy them all. It was at Green Lane Noodles in Cheras that I found hearty Penang favourites that tasted as close as one can get…
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. The cafe’s location is unassuming – if you’re not familiar with Connaught, I suggest you listen…
