DISH - Delicious Ingredients Steak House. The dining section of Dish is just behind Delicious Ingredients - unpretentious modern simple set-up, a perfect foil for the fine dishes they serve. You don't need to dress up yet the food served here is of "fine dining" concept. Quite unorthodox. In Dish, it's All About The Beef. And they have a certain philosophy about their Beef, too... like how thick the steak should be cut? Take a look... Having been established in that "embassy … [Read more...]
328 Katong Laksa
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 friend CH who graciously hosted us at her lovely condo in Amber Gardens, we just had to walk over to East Coast Road where a few of Singapore's famous Katong Laksa outlets were located. It was a 12-minute walk from the … [Read more...]
Tang Shifu @ 1-Utama
Being a bit under the weather recently, I'm glad I chanced upon this restaurant located in the New Wing of 1 Utama. The name "Tang Shifu" translates directly to "Soup Master", so it doesn't take much to decipher that this restaurant's forte lies in its nutritious and nourishing soups. Their food philosophy rests very much on using the freshest and highest quality ingredients with no preservatives. Lots of Chinese herbs are used and they all help in balancing the yin and yang of our bodily needs. … [Read more...]
Catching up in Vietnam Kitchen
The conversation started on Yahoo Chat... it went something like this: "Hey Woman, how are you? Where have you been la??" "I'm fine, have just been busy. Busy with BB lor!" "BB??" (I was thinking Blackberry, wtf?!) "Ya, baby - she's already 3 months old!" "OMG! When did you have a baby??" "Err... since, like 3 months ago?!" See... this is what happens when you don't keep in touch with your friends for over a year. Well, the last time I saw her, she wasn't preggers, ok. And that was … [Read more...]

HK Food Trail: Pt.3 – Wantan Noodles!
So there's a major water cut here in almost half the Klang Valley today until Friday. Many of us are reluctant to go eat out because of this and I believe those restaurants not affected by this little inconvenience are doing a roaring business these 2 days. So that explains why I'm having my own home-brought sandwiches for lunch today. On top of that, it's raining... it's a grey cold afternoon outside and inside here in my workplace, it's a notch lower than freezing point. Now, what wouldn't … [Read more...]
Bistro á Table, Section 17 Petaling Jaya
Bistro á Table - this name seems to be on almost every self-respecting foodie's lips the past couple of weeks. Most have been raving about the storm of "adaptive French cuisine" cooked up Personal Chef Isadora Chai in her new "hole in the wall" restaurant located in the woodier quieter side of Section 17, Petaling Jaya. The bistro pays homage to modern French comfort food which also adopt some Asian elements. "To the table" - that's the literal French translation of Bistro á Table - it … [Read more...]
