Goku Raku The Ramen Haven
Finally, we have to face reality. The season of holidays is all over, no more long weekends or uncontrolled consumption of food. It’s time to detox, to work, to get back into routine. But to make things just a tad kinder, we got ourselves comforted at Goku Raku Ramen, with their bowls of freshly-made noodles [...]
Important Meals
Or how I have breakfast and a recipe here.
An Art-Inspired Afternoon @ Zakka Loft, Medan Ipoh Bistari, Ipoh
Zakka Loft; Where the fine line between Life & Art is blurred? You know, all throughout this Chinese New Year holidays (the first few days, and these last few days of the season), I was struggling through and through. Not entirely because of the blistering hot weather, the absence of Lady Luck during those … [...]
KY eats – Tua Pui Curry Mee, Laksa, Muai Chee at Weld Quay
We actually spent a total of 10 days in Penang over CNY, my longest stint back home since getting a job in KL some 10 years, and that explains the recent flood of Penang food posts. There will be just a few more before the more KL centric posts resumes. The extended eating binge was [...]
Snacking Up Behind Me
Or how everyone has their own favourite nuts to chew on.
Healy Mac’s Irish Bar & Restaurant @ Greentown, Ipoh
Organic Pork Spare Ribs (RM36/USD12) @ Healy Mac’s, Greentown Ipoh – A stack of tender spare ribs falling off the bones; lightly basked in a sweetish marinade infused with the goodness of … Guinness. Barely two weeks in operation, and rumour has it that Healy Mac’s in Greentown has taken over Berlin’s Bier Houz as [...]
KY eats – Pork Intestine Porridge at Seapark
Everyone has their favorite comfort food, the go-to dish that you would want to have after a long trip, or when you are feeling less than 100%. For me, it has to be porridge, and among the different variations of this dish, nothing beats a good bowl of pork intestine porridge. My go-to pork intestine [...]
Peking Duck @ Solaris Mont Kiara, Kuala Lumpur
Peking Duck @ Solaris Mont Kiara, Kuala LumpurCopyright Of: Pink Parisian Peking Duck @ Solaris Mont Kiara, Kuala LumpurCopyright Of: Pink Parisian I was out and about one day when I found myself at Solaris Mont Kiara. I never know what to eat when I’m there, but as we turned twice around the block we noticed a new restaurant -…
This CNY
1) Discovered a new draught beer called Belle-Vue Kriek from Belgium and fell in love with it. It is sweet, tastes like Ribena and it's so easy to drink it keeps you wanting more. Recommended by a friend and we got it from a new drinking place called Brussels in Gurney Paragon. While you're at it, try the Strawberry beer…
A 2nd Chapter On Food Fight & Lou Sang @ Yum Yum Restaurant
It does not matter whether you understand the real meaning behind every toss; liberally peppered with shouts of ‘huat ah!’ (rich/prosperous/etc) and such. Even if you’re from a different cultural background, or with a snigger plastered across the face wondering are these people mad? Come on …. adults playing with their food?!! Some things just [...]
KY eats – Braised Chicken Feet at Kimberley Street, Penang
After watching the epic Australian Open men’s final between Nadal & Djokovic where the joker prevailed after nearly 6 hours of tennis, it was time for my long overdue dinner. This being the last night that we are spending over the long CNY break in Penang, I wanted to have something that isn’t easily found [...]
The Latest Din Tai Fung
More than 2 years ago, I visited the first Din Tai Fung in KL for the launch of its new menu and to witness the preparation of the 18-fold Xiao Long Bao. Fast forward 2 years plus later, I have lost count on the number of times I visited Din Tai Fung, usually for the [...]
3 Little Pigs at The Hungry Hog
Pork burger lovers, rejoice! With the popularity of pork burgers gaining, there are more restaurants now offering pork burgers as their signature items. One of such is The Hungry Hog, aptly named so for offering pork items as their signature dishes. It was technically our second visit to the place, because the first time we [...]
KY eats – the best Fried Oyster at Lebuh Carnarvon, Penang
I only have precious little memory of my late maternal grand parents. I remember tagging along with my late grandma to the wet market on most mornings. and after shopping, she would tapao a packet of my grandfather’s favorite oh chien (fried oyster). Together with the day’s newspaper and coffee, that would often be a [...]
Huck's Café
Last week I went to my first company annual dinner at Huck's Café in Bangsar. Tucked deep inside Bangsar Utama, Huck's Café serves authentic home-cooked Asian, Italian, Mexican and Western food. Huck's Café is different from the other restaurants because everything is prepared fresh using mostly organic vegetables, spices, herbs without MSG, additives nor colourings I have never heard of…
CNY 2012 – What’s “Bak Kut Teh” Got To Do With It?
Dry Bak Kut Teh; a pot of various cuts of pork cooked in a thickened gravy that’s nothing like the conventional bak kut teh perfumed by herbs, but resembling a ‘kung pow’ touch with dried chillies, dried cuttlefish and lots of okra (ladies finger) and topped with chopped coriander. Now I have been itching to [...]
KY eats – the other Lorong Selamat Char Kuih Teow
There are plenty of people who are from Penang that will tell you that Lorong Selamat char kuih teow is over hyped, over priced, overly crowded, and that there are many better alternatives. Well, I am from Penang and to heck with all those comments, I still love my Lorong Selamat char kuih teow, and [...]
Chinese New Year 2012 Highlights
Happy Chinese New Year 2012! Can’t believe the CNY holidays are all over! And now we’re back to reality. Can I just say that I’m suffering from CNY hangover? Anyway, for those of you who are still having holidays, let me just say I’m jealous! But for the rest of you, let’s make the rest [...]
The Limestone’s Fine Dining Restaurant @ Regalodge Hotel Ipoh
If you think that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, think again. For 15 years, Regalodge Hotel has been enduring the many stalwarts of hoteliers with impressive tenacity; albeit the emergence of one VERY strong contender by the name of Tower Regency situated at … erm, almost next door. Then, sometime last year, [...]
KY eats – Penang Hokkien Char & Chee Cheong Fun at New Lane
One of the definite Penang hawker dishes is Hokkien Char (福建炒), or Fried Hokkien Mee. However,this dish is quite different from what is served in Klang Valley even though they are identified as the same name. I’ve been searching for this exact dish in KL/PJ area for a long time with no avail, so I just [...]
