Burst of colours filling every nook and corner of Umami Cafe. The bean bags, the plush couches, the knee level tables, the ornaments and paintings adorning the bright walls, and the free WiFi service. Almost too cozy to be of commercial value. Kepong’s a territory uncharted. At least to this clueless soul writing his thoughts ...
Antipasto means ‘before the meal’ in Italian. Antipasti is the plural form of the same word. And these are generally served as the first course; starters if you will, to the Italian feast lying thereafter. And here at Spasso Milano, they took the initiative to place antipasti under the spotlight …. -An Antipasti Buffet for ...
Succulent. Caramelized. Crispy edges. Roasted sides. Melt in mouth. Do I get my points across now? “Miss your Ipoh food reviews!” Read that tweet earlier this morning, and that was like a jolt to the senses. Much like how it was raining dogs and cats in the middle of last night, complete with eruption of ...
A full bowl of chunky peanut sauce with a light sprinkle of sesame seeds on top; but if this was vegetarian … then are you game for the Satay? Like a recurring nightmare, this would be the official third post in a row centering around wholesome, healthier foods. Talk about a change will do you ...
Can’t help but noticed the chipped and battered/broken container filled with the heart & tummy warming elixir to get one going after a laborious week. For one who’s always on the pounce for sinful food, it’s worthwhile going back to the roots and drink some homemade soup for a start. (Hor Sang Woo with Pork ...
Just yesterday, when I posted something remotely sinful on Facebook, someone actually commented about how I should go for my lipid profile test. Hmm, have I reached that low? I mean, yeah …
#1 – The almost legendary (nomadic?) Beach Street’s aunty selling banana pancakes with raisin and lots of toasted sesame seeds. One of a kind, no doubt. #2 – The Hokkien Mee (Prawn Mee to you and me) with mantis prawns. Just like how Ah Leng Char Kuey Teow upped the ante with the addition of ...
Golden hues of yellow; wobbly and velvety smooth egg custard baked within a layer of crisp pastry. Looks like the average egg tarts sold by the streets. But this was definitely a cut above the rest. Egg Tart @ Tai Tong Dim Sum Restaurant. Let’s take a break from the monotony of the posts. Let’s ...
Sexy, slender and gelatinous feet of a chick. Braised and served with earthy bites of shiitake mushrooms, a few stalks of Chinese mustard greens and of course, the star of the show; heaps of fresh noodles. I have been eating noodles more than rice since coming to KL. Not that I have an aversion towards ...
Bercham San Chai’s famous Curry Fish Head (RM38/USD13) – A gigantic grouper fish head immersed in the fiery red elixir with a piquant tang, yet not overly spicy until you sweat buckets at the end of the meal. Loaded with beancurd skin (tau fu pok), sweet onions, fresh tangy tomatoes, ladies fingers (okra) and a ...
Epitome of Sins – Peaches, Strawberries, Whipped Cream, Strawberry Ice-Cream and Chocolate Sauce. Oh, did I mention that there was a waffle underneath? If you had shunned Cineleisure, or now known awkwardly as e@Curve (kinda missing the point, since I was about to name this as Gelare @e@ Curve, but that looks like something else ...
Unlike the OTHER more famous and commercialized BIG Breakfast from McD, the ones at Departure Lounge are REALLY satisfying and customizable; from 3 to 5 to 7 items (RM8.90, RM11.90, RM13.90) though do NOT come with a complimentary cup of coffee. SUNDAY~!!!! In a flash. Yet I am revelling in Every. Single. Second of It. ...
Western food in Ipoh has grown leaps and bounds since the days when it was either Rendezvous, First Coffee House, Scotch Pub, Miner’s Arms or to some lesser extent (catering to simpler, fuss-free palates of the younger ones), Crazy Ice Cream House. Back when we were still watching Ultraman, Voltron and still idolized turtles with ...
Stir fried ‘kampung’ ; chicken in black bean sauce with bitter gourd (RM21/USD7) - A mess of a presentation, but you’ll love this to bits. We did. Let’s talk about the finer things in life. Or rather, the bitter things in life. When weeks flew by without you even noticing, when the heart pumps adrenaline-fuelled blood ...
Hah! Bet you assumed from the title that this would be another ‘commercialized’ review of a hotel stay. Not entirely. In some ways, yes … the whole of last weekend was spent in Pangkor Isl …
Chapter 1 -Sanctuary Cove – Working in Paradise Chapter 2 – Harbour Town Outlet Shopping @ Gold Coast The Waffle with Chocolate fudge and Vanilla Ice Cream, dusted with icing sugar (about AUD10.95 each) – Bound to get you into a sugar rush … but what the heck! Must Finish All Chapters before the Next ...
An arranged chaos. You can literally dive in with manners out the windows (or in this case, the lack thereof), OR you can utilize the shiny cutlery and scoop mouthfuls of rice showered in the golden mahogany curries, with interesting clash of textures of being crispy (papadom crackers), crunchy (pickled cucumber) and chewy (mutton varuval ...
“Just so you know, this weekend brought back lots of sweet memories to this Motormouth from Ipoh. The good times spent throughout the three years I was in Ipoh; when we scouted around the whole of Perak for good food, the crazy antics of dining 6 (!!) heavy meals a day, followed by incessant sessions ...
#1 – Fried Egg, Hash Brown, Bacon and Toast (AUD4.80/RM14.90) – Back to basics stuff, yet worked exceptionally well after a LONG flight with transit in between. Almost like nasi lemak to Malaysians, can’t imagine breakfast in Australia without some bacon and eggs. And thus, after the brief solace we found at Hyatt Regency Sanctuary ...
A far cry from the usual posh, stylish and contemporary Hyatt resorts, Hyatt Regency Sanctuary Cove @ Gold Coast, Australia sets the mood for a laid back, relaxed and rejuvenating experience with its timeless design and classic ambience punctuated with lush greeneries. So okay, I was away for the whole of last week mainly for ...
