"I'm going to bring you to eat the Best Ever Pan Mee in town!" - that was what LL told me one fine morning. It is not very often that LL would actually bring me anywhere for food (it's usually the other way round) and I wasn't too sure that his promise of the "Best Ever Pan Mee" would hold true. You see, when it comes to Pan Mee, I'm very picky. Just like Fish-head Noodles, I will only go for the tested and proven places. Simply put: if I walk into any coffee-shop, I won't order the Pan Mee … [Read more...]

Erawan: Classic Thai & Fusion Delights
Kota Damansara is one place that I avoid, most times. Never mind that it is now considered a very "happening" place, never mind that there are restaurants and cafes coming up as fast as mushrooms after rain... to me, it's a crazy maze. Add in the one-way streets and the haphazard parking/stopping of vehicles everywhere and the maze get crazier. Now, if there is one good reason for me to venture into that crazy maze, it's Erawan. Erawan - the classic Thai and Fusion restaurant. The … [Read more...]

Elegant Inn – Taman Connaught
With the Chinese New Year barely 2 weeks away and since we're talking about one of my favourite Chinese restaurants - Elegant Inn - I think it's quite timely that I share some of their other great offerings.

Elegant Inn – Standard Chartered Bank Extravagant 8 Menu
I was pretty excited when I was invited by Elegant Inn recently to try out one of their special menus which they have crafted in association with Standard Chartered Bank's promotion for their credit card holders for the coming Chinese New Year. It's always a thrill for me to dine at Elegant Inn since I discovered this gem of a restaurant last year. Since my very first visit, I had been bowled over by their fine HK-style Chinese cuisine and I have been back there several times with … [Read more...]
Tau Yew Bak
When someone mentions "comfort food", an immediate image that would come to my mind is "Tau Yew Bak" - Pork braised in Dark Soya Sauce. When I run out of ideas on what to cook for dinner or when I have one of those insane urges to have something porky to go with rice, invariably this dish would be my choice.So what makes a good Tau Yew Bak? There are various versions to this popular dish. My version would require a good cut of Belly Pork. Some would prefer other cuts of … [Read more...]

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, a new restaurant serving Malay-Indo cuisine located on the 3rd Floor of the spanking new refurbished wing of Bangsar Shopping CEntre. The signature dish & namesake of the restaurant - Dancing Fish is … [Read more...]
