The Old Town Kopitiam outlets seem to have a very strong hold in the Klang Valley as there are quite a number of them around and they seem to be pulling in the crowds as well.So, the other day, together with a few colleagues, we decided to have an early dinner there.

Pan Mee @ Arena Foodcourt
Recently I read in the papers that some readers have actually rated this Pan Mee as one of the top pan mee around. I have tasted this pan mee before but have not reviewed it here.It's a corner stall in the Arena Foodcourt just below Jusco Supermarket in 1Utama. They serve all kinds of noodles - eg fried kway teow, curry laksa, prawn mee etc... but Pan Mee seems to be one of the favourites. You can have your pan mee "pinched out" in the traditional way or machine-rolled into thin strips.I … [Read more...]

Roast Chicken
The other day LL remarked that it's been quite some time since I last roasted a chicken and he missed his roast chicken sandwiches. So last Sunday I bought a whole chicken for this very purpose. The marinade for the chicken is kept simple. I merely use salt, pepper, Coleman's mustard powder and McCormick's garlic powder. Rub all these seasonings over the chicken, inside and out - and leave it to marinade for at least 8 hours - preferably overnight. Roast the chicken at 180 deg. C for 1 hour, … [Read more...]

So were the baby aubergine, okra and tomatoes - they all went into this curry pot!From my favourite yong … [Read more...]
