CHRISTMAS SPECIALS TAKEAWAY FROM THE BUTCHER’S TABLE @ HARTAMAS
2020 has been such an eventful and for some, tumultuous year. The ongoing pandemic has caused so much disruption in our lives. While we have now learned so many new norms as a result of the virus spread and movement restrictions, one thing for sure that must not change is that we should maintain some semblance of normalcy whenever & wherever possible. With Christmas and the year-end festivities coming up, we should at least take some time off and chill-out with family … [Read more...]
MASALA WHEELS in PJ: Banana Leaf Rice under the trees
We were introduced to Masala Wheels by a dear friend recently. Located in a corner lot in a quiet spot of Petaling Jaya Old Town, Masala Wheels’ al fresco dining area under huge old trees right across the restaurant fills up pretty fast. Having arrived there before noon, it was easy for us to score a good table under those shady leafy trees. The weather was perfect that day - gentle little streaks of sunlight filtered through the leaves (so good for food photography!) and we had the … [Read more...]

REN I TANG, Penang – Staycation in a Heritage Gem
Staying at Ren I Tang Heritage Inn brings back many childhood memories. Not that I grew up in Penang but this old-world charming building reminds me so much of the old shops and places of my childhood. "Ren i Tang" is the phonetic presentation in Mandarin of South East Asia’s oldest Chinese Medical Hall Wholesaler, Yin Oi Tong which is translated as “The Hall of Benevolence”. Isn’t that grand? “Hall of Benevolence” sounds very much like something from a Qing Imperial Palace! Here’s … [Read more...]
AUNTIE SIM KITCHEN, Damansara Uptown
Eateries come and go and in the bustling thoroughfares of Damansara Uptown, restaurants jostle with each other competing to see who can attract the most number of double-parked cars at their premise-front: a sure sign of the restaurant’s popularity. Along the road where Auntie Sim Kitchen is located, you will never find an available parking lot easily and more often than not, cars are always double-parked there. Such was our dilemma when we were there recently to dine at Auntie Sim … [Read more...]

XIN CUISINE’s RM15 Value Meals: Takeaway/Home Delivery
Many of us are now doing a lot of things in a new norm, thanks to the pandemic. One of these is having takeaway food or have food delivered to us. On days when I don’t feel like cooking at home, I would prefer to order takeaway meals, rather than dining out. Sometimes I find it such a drag having to drive out, find a parking, wear a mask, have temperature taken at restaurant doorway, register to get into the restaurant, sanitise hands and then only enter. That’s really a lot of … [Read more...]
