Ipoh Ipoh Kafe - as its name says - serves popular dishes from Ipoh. As I’m Ipoh-mail, I’m always on the lookout for good Ipoh food out from my hometown. There’s quite a good selection of favourites at Ipoh Ipoh and I want to have them all but somehow when I go there, I just want their Chee Cheong Fun, haha! Served truly Ipoh-style with the signature red sauce, chilli sauce and pickled chillies, this is something I always crave. Although not as perfect as the best I get in … [Read more...]
YOI @ Bukit Rimau
Bukit Rimau lies in the fringe of Kota Kemuning and it’s quite often lumped in together with the latter.

GRUB by Ahong
Grub by Ahong rose to popularity for its no-frills and wallet-friendly steak meals. Housed in an unassuming shoplot in Section 17, Petaling Jaya, queues are often seen before they insisted on online reservations for their customers. Seats then become very “hot” especially during weekends or holidays and you really have to book a few weeks ahead to score a table. Their menu is kept minimal and focused. They only serve what they are good at. Popular cuts of beef like NY Strip, Wagyu and … [Read more...]
GARDENAGE CAFE, Kota Kemuning
When we moved to Kota Kemuning 15 years ago, the main thing that enticed me to this township was the rich and extensive greenery of this place. Tall matured trees and shrubs were everywhere, providing shade and beauty to the environment. Well, most of this green landscape still abounds and for that, I believe many residents are happy. And I believe there are many here who are also lovers of Mother Nature and into gardening – especially the folks who run … [Read more...]

2020 has been such an eventful and for some, tumultuous year. The ongoing pandemic has caused so much disruption in our lives. While we have now learned so many new norms as a result of the virus spread and movement restrictions, one thing for sure that must not change is that we should maintain some semblance of normalcy whenever & wherever possible. With Christmas and the year-end festivities coming up, we should at least take some time off and chill-out with family … [Read more...]
MASALA WHEELS in PJ: Banana Leaf Rice under the trees
We were introduced to Masala Wheels by a dear friend recently. Located in a corner lot in a quiet spot of Petaling Jaya Old Town, Masala Wheels’ al fresco dining area under huge old trees right across the restaurant fills up pretty fast. Having arrived there before noon, it was easy for us to score a good table under those shady leafy trees. The weather was perfect that day - gentle little streaks of sunlight filtered through the leaves (so good for food photography!) and we had the … [Read more...]
