Not too long ago I received an invitation from a blog reader asking me to go check out some food served in Restoran Pin Chou.... somewhere in Klang. I had no idea where this place could be ... so what did I do? I turned to Google Maps. I absolutely love Google. I think Google is one of da best things to have ever been invented on planet Earth! Dang - I can find out just about anything in Google! Just like the other day when my boss asked me how to curve something in Powerpoint (having just … [Read more...]
Renovated!
It's about time I did something. Change the outfit from the old boring one to something more contemporary, eh!Blogger's new themes are pretty cool - so many combinations of templates and backgrounds! I like my greens and cyans ... restful shades that don't tax the eyes too much. The whole thing doesn't reflect food or gluttony much (no pics of food in the template) - that's intentional... coz the posts will be full of foooood!Hopefully this agrees with the majority of you out there, ya! ;-)) … [Read more...]
IR1968 @ Terrace Hock Choon
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. As it turned out, "IR" simply stands for "Indonesian Restaurant" and the 1968 is the year it was established, in Hong Kong. With 2 outlets in Hongkong, they have been serving authentic Indonesian fare … [Read more...]

pla dib @ The Heritage Village
pla dib. What do you make of that name? Can't fault you if something Thai popped into your mind. It is Thai for "raw fish" and the original restaurant was set up in Bangkok. However, pla dib doesn't exactly serve Thai cuisine - based on their philosophy of "freedom of food", its menu features a variety of Asian fusion items... namely marriages of Thai, Japanese and European cuisines. Besides KL, the other Asian city where you can find pla dib is Singapore.pla dib is located at The Heritage … [Read more...]
Giovino @ Changkat Bukit Bintang
Changkat Bukit Bintang. A popular and "happening" upmarket dining & clubbing area in downtown Kuala Lumpur. Countless hip and trendy restaurants, pubs and clubs line this never-ending street a busy hub for both visitors and locals. To be honest, I have not checked this place for some time. So, one evening, braving the usual after-work horrendous jams from Petaling Jaya, I had the pleasure of Marian Eu's company in the car while we made our way to Changkat Bukit Bintang (CBB)... to … [Read more...]
Roti Canai Pandamaran
Roti Canai. This famous popular Malaysian Indian pancake that's synonymous with Life here. I can't imagine life without roti canais, can you? I mean, it's such a Malaysian way of life - it's not even food, it's just a way of life! We eat it anytime of the day and it's readily available everywhere! So, because it is sooo everywhere and everyone has their favourite shop/stall for this, it doesn't get blogged about much. Well, at least I haven't. Not until I've heard so much about this one … [Read more...]
Qba B4 Buffet @ Westin Kuala Lumpur
The special invitation said to go for a "fiesta of food, drinks and fun all in one venue". This was the invitation to preview b4: abbreviation for beer, bbq, band & bandido ... and armed with this promise, we made our way to Qba at Westin Kuala Lumpur one Saturday evening not too long ago. Qba - Cuban bar, Latin Grill restaurant, Wine & Cigar Lounge all rolled into one impressive joint which elegantly combines Cuban traditions with a fusion of Latin flavours. Walking into the dim … [Read more...]
Craft Brews @ Mutiara Damansara
To be very honest, I am no beer drinker. I do have the occasional 1 glass, when socialising with friends and when they insist I join them in their frothy merry-making. But then, hey... I'm always game to try and learn new things. So, when Marian Eu recently invited me to join her for a little session at Craft Brews, I had no hesitation in saying "Yes!"Housed in the Podium of Menara Batu Kawan, right across Tesco in Mutiara Damansara, Craft Brews is very visible and easily located.There's … [Read more...]
Sambal Hijau – Delicious Kampung Cuisine @ Kg Penchala
Still on a roll on "Kampung Cuisine"... Our group of VHRCs were happily eating our lunch (the lunch that we cooked) at Rohani Jelani's Bayan Indah and the conversation was centred on Food, naturally. I think it was Lyrical Lemongrass who asked Rohani if there's any good bite around that area (besides Rohani's cooking, that is!). Rohani immediately related that someone had introduced her to this place called "Sambal Hijau" which is located in Kg Penchala itself - a skip and a hop from Bayan … [Read more...]
