The lunch we had at Mum’s Kitchen Restaurant was most memorable because it was the meal with the most no. of claypot dishes we’ve ever had!  Pot after pot, they came… smouldering and bubbling, giving out the most heavenly aromas even before the pots touched our table. Recently relocated to Subang, Mum’s Kitchen Restaurant, which [...]

It’s exactly a year ago that I wrote about Chef Debbie Teoh and her delightful Nyonya specialities. It was also at the same venue – Chatz Brasserie at Parkroyal Kuala Lumpur. Read about my post one year ago here.  The authentic Nyonya fare served up by Chef Debbie must have been such a hit that [...]

Recently, I was at Bayan Indah – again – for another delightful culinary session. Read about my earlier escapades in Bayan Indah here, here and here!  Truth be told, I have been to Bayan Indah more than those 3 blogged sessions – there were several that I did not blog about … so you can [...]

Let’s get straight to the point. Hari Raya Aidilfitri is less than a week away, I know… and if you have not been to any Buka Puasa yet or if there is ONE Buka Puasa that you must go to, then it’s at Kelantan Delights in Subang Jaya! Kelantan Delights started off in the food court [...]

Today is the 4th day of fasting for Muslims during the holy month of Ramadhan. It is very common for restaurants and hotels to prepare lavish spreads for the breaking of fast at sundown, known as “Berbuka Puasa”. If such buffet meals are not for you, then perhaps you would like to try the Tiffin [...]

We made a short trip down south to Singapore a couple of weekends ago. It was almost a “Touch & Go” trip… we were there to watch the Lion King musical (which was totally so enjoyable!) and the rest of the time was just to eat and shop. As we were staying with my good [...]

This year the Bakchang Festival falls on 6 June. Usually a few weeks before the festival, the Chinese will be making and enjoying the bamboo leaves-wrapped dumplings. My favourite has always been the Cantonese-style “ham yook chung” which I make almost every year (see my post on that here). A couple of weeks back I [...]

I have known Xara since we were in primary school. Yes, way back in Ipoh. When we entered secondary school, both of us cycled to school… and that was the beginning of many after-school “extra-curricular” activities. We’d cycle to town to watch our favourite chinese kungfu movies, parking our bicyles for 10sen per movie in [...]

Mention “Nyonya Cuisine” and no one is more qualified than Chef Debbie Teoh to be associated with it.  With Melaka and Penang nyonya baba genes in her, Debbie has more than 15 years in the food industry.  She has authored several cook books – “Underwraps”, “Asian Tidbits”, “Nyonya Flavours”, “Authentic Nyonya Tastes” as well as [...]

Not even a week had passed since I got back from Bali and I jumped, without hesitation, when dear Masak-masak asked if I’d like to go try out Dancing Fish.  I mean, I had been gorging on Indon-Balinese food for 4 days prior to that and yet I couldn’t wait to go and check out Dancing Fish, [...]

Since our Prime Minister announced the “1Malaysia” concept back in 2008, it has become almost a part and parcel of our lives – we see this published in the media all the time and businesses have jumped on the bandwagon to leverage on its appeal. The idealogy behind “1Malaysia” emphasizes national unity, ethnic harmony and [...]

Prior to visiting this place, I have often wondered what the “IR” stood for. There had been several reviews about this restaurant and the name itself kinda piqued my interest. So when I received an invitation from FBB and Poesy Liang for a review here, I took it upon myself to research it a bit. [...]
