Craving for NON-Halal Satay? – Succulent bites of marinated pork and flavourful mutton on skewers (those sticks named ‘lidi’), served with sliced cucumber and pungent raw onions. Not forgetting, the spicier than average chunky peanut gravy. And here comes Monday. The very last one for September. Time flies, it’s been a good 10 months since ...
Chicago-style Pizza – A throwback to the American interpretation of authentic, thin-crusted and lighter Italian pizzas with a twist. A MAJOR twist; since they tripled the dough and loaded the pizza with at least double the amount of ingredients. Still reeling from the shocking revelation yesterday, woke up craving instead for something much more substantial; ...
Pineapple Fried Rice (RM9.90/USD3.30) – An aesthetically-captiv ating presentation in a hollowed half of a pineapple. Fluffy grains with a distinctive fragrance, fried with cubed fresh pineapple, chopped long beans, raisins and roasted cashew nuts. And I proclaim this my current favourite haunt for no-frills, affordable Thai fares in KL/PJ. Not until after the third …
Ipoh style of Dry Curry Kuey Teow (Sar Hor Fun) with abundance of juicy bean sprouts, handful of chopped scallions, perfectly poached chicken, potatoes and beancurd (tau fu pok) underneath …
A case of Penang Street Food in KL? (O&S Restaurant @ Paramount Garden – Penang Char Kuey Teow, Chee Cheong Fun and Yong Tau Foo) My apologies, in case you were trying desperately to reach this blog yesterday, only to view an Internal Server Error screen. After missing out on the extended 3 days break ...
Lamb Bacon Bruschetta – Crisp and savoury lamb bacon with a briny tinge; with ratatouille and crumbled feta cheese on toasted sourdough bread. 13th Sept 2011 : “If I have to su …
Terrific springy egg noodles without a trace of ‘kan sui’ (lye water/alkaline water); served atop a bed of crunchy ‘choy sum’, and lightly flavoured with a savoury ensemble of sauces. One glance at the title of this post, and you’d be tempted to think that Motormouth has gone bonkers. No, seriously, was down and out ...
Ipoh famous Hakka-style yong tau foo (also fondly referred to as ‘yong liew’ aka stuffed ingredients), served with hakka mee, curry noodles or even laksa @ Wok With Kim (Yee Tan Kow Fishball Noodles) You know, it’s funny. When you think about it, there’s no other place that serves ‘liew fun’ (loosely recognized as fishball ...
Ching Han Guan’s one-and-only Teochew Walnut Mooncake; a much healthier option with considerably less sweet In the blink of an eye, the long Raya-Merdeka break has come to an end. Can’t deny that I am still suffering the post-holiday blues, though mine has ended prematurely last Friday when I managed to drag this carcass of ...
Glistening, caramelized and crispy skin; basked in a honey sauce that’s made from a secret recipe since 1986. The chicken is deep fried instead of grilled or roasted. To my surprise. And it’s Friday! Haha …. barely set my mind to work and off we go on another two days of deserving rest! Don’t you ...
Disclaimer : Pardon me if I come up with a half-baked post today. Not a walk in the park for sure, for more reasons than one. Firstly, I’m still burping from those extra cheesy, caloric-laden pizzas loaded with salami and Italian sausages from dinner. More on that in a later post. Shat Keh Ma (literally ...
Charcoal-toasted Bread with Butter and Kaya (RM1.60) – A faint hint of smokiness from the grill, with a distinct fluffiness preserved in between the toasted surfaces. And finally, after a month or two of tease, I made my way to Lim Ko Pi in old town of Ipoh. This relatively new coffee joint has been ...
Sambal Petai – A wonderful creation but why the notorious reputation? Back in Ipoh!!! At times the craving can be so strong … I’d do whatever to get it fixed. In this case, I was lit …
Sri Neelas serves a delicious mutton varuval (dry curry mutton); lip-smacking stuff. It has been awhile since I wrote about banana leaf curry rice. Wondering what’s the big deal with eatin …
Behind the Scenes – Just like in the movies? The preparation work was tedious; in summary. Okay, think since the cat’s out of the bag now …. I’d better come clean. Yes, I was one of the featured guests on Discover Perak, a food/travel/lifestyl e series on the sizzling highlights of my hometown of Perak. The ...
Ipoh’s white coffee. And you must be wondering why the ‘white’ moniker attached, when the coffee essentially looks just like any other brew. “The generic term “Ipoh White Coffee” in Chinese is ‘bak ko pi’ (baai kah feh); the “white” term has nothing to do with the colour in this instance, but is rather a ...
It’s always rewarding to share. This was essentially the reason why I compiled the Ipoh Curry Mee list, and then the Best of Ipoh Dim Sum list followed suit not long after. The lists saved …
Char Siew Wanton Noodle – Beautiful combination of springy egg noodles (very thin strands, if you noticed) tossed in a medley of savoury sauces, caramelized barbecued pork with ample proportion of fats, pork dumplings (wanton) in soup and an acerbic crunch from the pickled green chillies. Okay, here’s another noodle story. One that deserves a ...
