I have always wanted to try making Siew Paus at home but had never really gotten round to doing it. Mostly because I wasn't very sure on how the "oil" and "water" doughs work and the technique of rolling the pastry. There's a certain way of doing that which would result in the thin flaky pastry of the Siew Pau.Then I stumbled upon this blog here which had very clear instructions and photos (yayyy!) on how to fold and roll the pastry. What a godsend!The first time I tried that recipe I found … [Read more...]

Sunshine Chicken & Chef Tam = great combination!
The first time I heard about Sunshine Chicken was through Babe In the City-KL. It was she who introduced and then invited me and some other food bloggers, on behalf of Sunshine Chicken to a sumptuous lunch at Kedai Makanan Chef Tam in Selayang. That occasion was to showcase Sunshine Chicken's chickens, of course, as well as some other dishes courtesy of Jin Chwan Seafood prepared by Chef Tam. Sunshine Chicken has a farm in Kuala Lipis where their chickens thrive on natural food and fresh air … [Read more...]
Rakuzen Subang
Rakuzen Japanese Restaurant 15 Jalan SS15/5A 47500 Subang JayaMention "Rakuzen" only and many people would associate "decent Japanese food" with it.

It is wise to book your table early, to avoid disappointment. On the few occasions … [Read more...]
Char-siew @ Famous Seremban Favourites
A couple of weeks ago, there was this char-siew bug which seemed to have bitten some of my colleagues. They were all talking about eating char-siew and where to get the best ones. Some of them went to hunt for one famous shop in Kepong (I didn't go) and for more than a week, char-siew was the main topic when it came to lunch time.I have read so many blog posts about this famous char-siew place in Sunway Mas... so armed with a map found in AWOL's blog, we made our way to...Restoran Famous … [Read more...]

Shanghai, O’ Shanghai!

Assam Laksa & Coconut Jelly in Penang
Continuing with my makan spree in Penang...After the 2 breakfasts that we had, we went to Queensbay Mall (because it was also raining and we had to abandon any outdoor jaunts) ... not that we had anything to shop for, but it was more like we had to exercise a bit to work off that heavy double-breakfast! After a couple hours of aimless window-shopping there, we decided we had enough and headed on to my must-have Assam Laksa!Yes, this is the place...The Air Itam Market Assam Laksa is a must for … [Read more...]

2 Breakfasts in 1 Morning – Penang
Continuing our food jaunt in Penang... the next morning found ourselves back in Gurney Drive again. Of course the day scenes there are very much different from the glitzy lights the night before. It was a wet morning - the early morning drizzle had somewhat "cleaned" the hazy air and it was really refreshing taking a walk along that popular road as we headed to our targeted breakfast venue No.1.After reading CK Lam's post on the delish morning fare found in Song River Cafe, we wasted no time … [Read more...]
Bali Hai @ Penang
Recently we took a short break for a makan trip to Penang. It's been several years since we last drove there. So, when we were finally crossing the Penang Bridge, I couldn't help clicking the above pic from the screen of my car's GPS.It was drizzling as we left the mainland heading towards the island. As we were crossing the bridge, the sun was finally peeping through the dark clouds ... but it was still kinda hazy, as you can see...By the time we reached Gurney Drive, it was dinner time. … [Read more...]
