Cameron Valley Tea (Bharat Plantations) – A sight for sore eyes indeed … the endless fields of lush greenery greeting the weary soul from the lowlands.Still remember how I jump-started my Monday two weeks ago, at Swiss Garden Resort @ Damai Laut? Ironically, exactly one week after, we were required to travel all the way ...
Third and last (LAST?!!!) day of the 3-Days-Long-Weekend here in Perak. Time flies when you’re minding your own business, chomping on some good grubs here and there (delightful Big T …
To do away with the midweek blues many of us might be having (and the incessant cravings for the weekend!), this was how I fended off my Monday blues last week; immersing myself in a short 3 days 2 nights getaway to Swiss Garden Golf Resort & Spa at Damai Laut, Lumut. Here’s their website, ...
So how’s YOUR Reunion Dinner come this roaring, bawling and ferocious year of the Tiger?! For the past few years, we’ve NOT been having home-cooked meals for more reasons than one (the tiresome preparations, cleaning on top of the annual spring cleaning, and of course, the escalated prices of the fresh goods from the market), ...
A compilation of some of the new eateries in Ipoh, a special feature for those jaded palates (Read : those who had grown bored of the same old … same old … offerings).RESTORAN AYAM PENYET – AP @ DE GARDEN MALL (HALAL)The only time I have tried Ayam Penyet in Malaysia was my Waroeng Penyet ...
Recovered from a dastardly bout of food poisoning, no thanks to some stale prawns that I ate the night before. Yesterday was almost a fully-detoxifying day, with no more than 2 bowls of oats for meals, plus some crackers here and there. And I slept the whole day through. All 10 or so hours of ...
A short one for the weekend :Lunas of Kedah has never been on my map for food-hunting sessions. Nor it’s even in my map, for that matter. Certainly a route less travelled, Lunas is a …

Hutan Melintang in Perak remains as a mystery to most. Not exactly a forest, although not without its fair share of palm oil plantations lining the trunk roads leading to Sabak Bernam and Bagan Datoh. A small town in the Hilir Perak district in southern Perak, this town had us keeping our fingers crossed, all the while scratching our heads and wondering; "How did Hutan …
I have heard and read much about this roast duck stall in Canning Garden of Ipoh, so much so that I got a little confused over this stall, and the (almost) similar restaurant serving (almost) the same fares named Hong Kong Oil Chicken & Roast Duck Restaurant in Tasek of Ipoh.Yeah, and this stall in ...
How does it feel to be dining in the compound of someone else’s house? If you think that’s awkward, well …. think again.There’s this restaurant (or as close to a restaurant as this premise can be) in Taman Chi Liung of Klang, which was opened by a former cook from a restaurant (pardon me, but ...
For the sake of first-timers, or the newly-poisoned (followers) of this blog, Betong is a quiet (depending on how you look at it, really) town in southern Thailand, that shares its border with the even smaller and serene town of Pengkalan Hulu in northern Perak.WHERE again you ask?!!! Just refer to my old posts (Betong - The Town Over the Border). Still reeling from the day's …
Yoon Kee @ Stall No 23 – This is also Ipoh’s most beloved superstar; Dato’ Michelle Yeoh’s favourite! Perseverance pays off handsomely. That’s exactly what the elderly have always tried to instill in the raw, naive mind of a young one’s. Medan Selera Stadium (a popular hawker food centre) in Ipoh is a stretch of ...
Darting across the jam-packed restaurant spanning a few lots, this ‘macha’ clearly threw all caution to the wind, oblivious to the snapping camera, daggering stares, and erm ….. matter of hygiene.Since I was ranting on a strong contender for Ipoh’s best chapati in my previous post, kindly allow me to follow up with this restaurant ...
The Pink Sage Diner & Pantry @ Jalan Dang WangiA diner in the heart of the city, yet not at the most strategic of location – The Pink Sage Diner & Pantry is not easily distinguished from the other shops along the road of Jalan Dang Wangi. Not until the many other food bloggers wrote ...

Fresh Oyster baked in Cheese - RM13.80/USD4.20 Now let me share my current favourite Japanese restaurant in Ipoh with you readers. Previously I was an ardent fan of Akamomiji‘s, until the last few visits that revealed some rather poorly executed cooked dishes, and mediocre service. Waraku became our favourite then, with their cheap RM15 lunch ...
Siamese Laksa @ Family Cafe in Ipoh (RM6.80/USD2)Ever since the ‘demise’ of Sharon’s Laksa recently, I have been receiving comments, queries and mails asking about where to go for Siamese Laksa in Ipoh. Most suggestions point to this place, named Family Cafe situated in Taman Ipoh Permai, off the main road from Jusco Kinta City ...
Continued from Part 5 – Koh Det’s Breakfast Wonders in Ao Nang, KrabiOkay, weekend again, and time for a travel post. I concluded the Bali 2009 Saga last weekend, hence I can concentrate on finishing the posts on my Krabi-Phuket trip back in January 2010. A little overdue I know, but can’t blame me really.For ...
I was sour. I felt disappointed. But yet I concurred and paid a visit to Ipoh famous “Tong Sui Kai” aka Dessert Street (Pusat Makanan Rainbow City yesterday night (anyone bumped into me there?), for the inaugural Ipoh Hawkers’ Fest/Karnival Penjaja Ipoh, lasting from 25th-27th December 2009.I can’t hide the fact that I felt short-changed ...
