Last Sunday, the family gathered for a 3-prong celebration dinner at Tai Thong, Klang. This was to celebrate the birthdays of JJ, Leanne and the wedding anniversary of Big Sis. A room with karaoke was booked for this occasion. Needless to say, it was was a very noisy dinner - not only from the karaoke in our room, but also from the karaoke from the next room and from the main dining hall where a wedding dinner was in progress!We were all ravenous by the time the Four Seasons dish was served. It … [Read more...]

Kheng’s Kopitiam – Part II
In my previous posting on this Kopitiam, I said I would go back there for their Iced Coffee. So, last weekend, with my friend SL in town and since she wanted some kopitiam fare for lunch, we headed to Kheng's again.This time round we ordered new items, besides the iced coffees, of course.SL had the Nasi Lemak with Chicken Rendang (RM6.50). According to her, it was so-so. The dish came with all the condiments arranged neatly around the rice. I took a bite to try and my verdict is:* The sambal was … [Read more...]
Raju’s Restaurant
Raju's RestaurantJalan GasingPetaling JayaIt was a blistering day yesterday and my colleagues and I had actually wanted to go for the Ipoh Taugeh Chicken in Jalan Gasing. However, we had a last-minute change of mind after the horrendous jam along that stretch and there definitely was no parking space available there. So, we decided to turn into Raju Restaurant - no traffic jam and parking space available there. We chose to sit at the al fresco area, under shady trees and giant mist fans and less … [Read more...]

Peanut Cookies – home-baked
Chinese New Year is just round the corner and there’re not many weekends left before the Year of the Rat dawns. So, today I decided to start making some cookies – my famous Peanut Cookies!It’s the first time I’m using my Fagor oven to bake cookies and the 1st tray put in was a test. The temperature at 200 deg.C was too hot and the top tray of cookies was very quickly browned. Thereafter, I turned the temperature down to 150 deg. and the cookies were fine.600g of peanuts yielded 4 such containers … [Read more...]
Kheng’s Kopitiam
Kheng's Kopitiam 24 Jalan Anggerik Vanilla M31/M40600 Kota KemuningShah AlamHaving woke up late on a Sunday - one of the very rare occasions that I do, I had an urge for kopitiam fare. So we headed to Kheng's Kopitiam, in Kemuning "town centre". It was just after 11.00am and the place was pretty packed. Like so many other kopitiams in the area, the interior was almost an exact replica of the one across the street - small round & square tables with stools around them. We ordered the iced … [Read more...]

Home-cooked Dinner
Last night we had a simple meal at home. I cooked LL’s favourite Kari Ikan Pari. As usual, I put in lots of vegetables - ladies’ fingers, tomatoes and brinjals. And as usual, LL walloped the fish while I went for the vegetables!Tip: To ensure your ikan pari tastes good, marinate it in some salt and assam jawa. The assam jawa eliminates the fishy smell (which ikan pari tends to have) and at the same time adds a nice sourish tinge to the fish.A plate of Quick Stir-fry Green Vegetables complemented … [Read more...]
Cha-Siew from LangChai’s Stall
This Cha-Siew stall is located in Restoran Simon’s Delight in Seapark Petaling Jaya - it’s the corner coffee-shop facing the well-known Seaview Coffee-shop. The guy who runs this stall is a cheerful fella, who once admonished us for calling him “uncle” - he told us in no uncertain terms that he was not an uncle, and that we should call him “Lang Chai”. So, now we refer to this stall as the “Lang Chai Cha-Siew”!If you talk about melt-in-the-mouth Cha-Siew, I can think of no other equivalent. This … [Read more...]
