BOSS CURRY HOUSE, Bkt Rimau, Shah Alam
Right here in my neighbourhood there’s this curry house that has been serving crowds in its modest premises. Serving Chettinad-style mixed with other Southern Indian dishes, food here is displayed in vegetarian and non-vegetarian shelves. Service is brisk and friendly and together with the very decent dishes, so it’s not hard to see why this place has been packing in the crowds. We have tried both their lunch and breakfast offerings and have been impressed with the quality. A standard … [Read more...]

RETRO TAPAS BAR CAFE @ TREC Kuala Lumpur
Retro Tapas Bar Cafe is one of the latest additions to the long list of F&B outlets in TREC. Located at the Alcove section of TREC, this bar cafe occupies a quiet corner facing the main road.

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.

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...]
