Fish Noodles @ WONG CHAU JUN RESTAURANT, PENANG
We needed a quick breakfast before heading back to KL and Wong Chau Jun popped into my mind. I’ve heard about their fish noodles and we were in the mood for something hot and soupy. Wong Chau Jun Restaurant, located along Rangoon Road is always busy but we were lucky that day as there were still a couple of tables available when we reached the place. It’s a typical local kopitiam with photos of their dishes all plastered on the walls. We ordered a bowl of their signature Spicy Sour … [Read more...]

BOBO Kuala Lumpur – latest intimate speakeasy venue in Bangsar!
When Ed Soo and his partners decided to add another F&B outlet into their stronghold in Jalan Bangkung, Bangsar, the question of naming it became a “headache”.
