Dining at The Royal Selangor Yacht Club (RSYC) – it’s OPEN to the PUBLIC!
The Royal Selangor Yacht Club (RSYC) is no stranger to me. My in-laws were the first food operator of this grand dame, way back many years ago. At that time and until a few years ago, the RSYC was strictly for members only. It’s the oldest and largest yacht club in Malaysia, having been established in 1963. The club is graced by the royal patronage of HRH Sultan of Selangor. Some of you may be familiar with the prestigious Raja Muda Selangor International Regatta, which is organised by … [Read more...]
DZH SEAFOOD SAUNABOAT @ TREC Kuala Lumpur
There’s steamboat and there’s hotpot but have you heard about saunaboat? Basically, saunaboat it’s about steaming food, in the true sense of the word. The regular “steamboat” is such a misnomer – food is cooked in boiling soup and not steamed! Whereas, saunaboat is much like in a sauna - placing food in a closed space and cooking it in high-heat steam. DZH Seafood Saunaboat in the entertainment mecca of TREC started off in Johor about a year ago. Apparently it’s so popular that they … [Read more...]
BIG MOUTH SEAFOOD, Bandar Botanic, Klang
I’ve often wondered what inspired the amusing name “Big Mouth” for this fairly new restaurant occupying a corner shoplot in Bandar Botanic, Klang. Does one need to have a big mouth to gobble up what they serve? It has been drawing in the crowds almost every evening since it opened a few months ago. With such a catchy name on its huge signboard, it’s easy to spot the place coming off the Kesas Highway. You can’t miss the big welcoming signboard! Naturally our meal here started … [Read more...]
Crabbing out at FEI FEI CRAB RESTAURANT, Damansara Jaya
As its name suggests, this is a restaurant for serious crab lovers. Specialising in seafood generally, with crabs as their highlight, Fei Fei Crabs offers a good variety of dishes cooked in ways that most Malaysians love. It’s located in a middle shoplot and looks like any other local neighbourhood eatery. The red plastic chairs contrast vividly with their bright yellow tablecloths - you can’t miss the place, trust me. It’s no-frills kopitiam-style set-up paves the way for some really … [Read more...]
THE ANDAMAN, LANGKAWI: DINING INDULGENCES
As the last visit at The Andaman, Langkawi was a short one, besides breakfast at The Restaurant, we dined at two of their other F&B outlets… TEPIAN LAUT As its name suggests, Tepian Laut is “by the sea” and it’s al fresco dining at its best. Beneath huge shady rainforest trees, guests get to feel the raw sea breeze blowing in from the Andaman Sea and that somehow enhances the appetite significantly. The a la carte menu for lunch features a solid selection of local … [Read more...]

3 FUN THINGS TO DO in Kota Kinabalu town centre
We didn’t have much time to explore Kota Kinabalu town when we were there recently. We were staying in the Le Meridien Kota Kinabalu and just had a few hours to spare. So we put those hours to good use – we went in search of food! Right behind the Le Meridien is Seng Hing, a kopitiam that sells decent noodles. It’s very popular as the place is busy all the time. We had the Prawns Laksa with extremely fresh prawns swimming in the rich spicy broth. Sweet and bouncy, those prawns were a … [Read more...]
CRAB GENERATION @ Taman Len Sen, Cheras
I was told Crab Generation is a branch of the famous Fei Fei Crabs in Kepong. I haven’t been to Fei Fei myself but I was also told it’s one of the most popular Chinese tai-chow kind of restaurants in that area and has been delighting crab fans for a good number of years. So, anyway, when it comes to crabs, there is no destination too far and that was how we fought the famous Cheras traffic one Saturday evening to make our way to Crab Generation in Taman Len Sen. We were there early, … [Read more...]
