Ipoh Ipoh Kafe - as its name says - serves popular dishes from Ipoh. As I’m Ipoh-mail, I’m always on the lookout for good Ipoh food out from my hometown. There’s quite a good selection of favourites at Ipoh Ipoh and I want to have them all but somehow when I go there, I just want their Chee Cheong Fun, haha! Served truly Ipoh-style with the signature red sauce, chilli sauce and pickled chillies, this is something I always crave. Although not as perfect as the best I get in … [Read more...]

Magical Christmas Around the World Buffet @ THE WESTIN KUALA LUMPUR
The Westin Kuala Lumpur is all aglow with an air of festivities, inspired by special festive delights from countries around the world. We had a taste of these festive line-up at The Living Room recently savouring delicious offerings in a feast featuring delicacies from more than 10 countries around the globe. Taking centre stage at the buffet is the Roast Turkey and Beef Wellington – both executed very nicely … tender and juicy to the bite. We love the turkey – one of the … [Read more...]
Tuscan Chicken with Pinto Beans
Now that we are back to almost-normal working schedules, coming up with home-cooked meals for the family has become quite a challenge. When I get tired of making the usual Asian rice-based dishes, I often opt for easy-to-prepare Western-style one-dish meals. One of my favourite go-to recipes is aromatic Tuscan Chicken. In addition to being easy to prepare, it also keeps well. Prepare this dish ahead of time and store it in the fridge, and it’ll still taste amazing after a few days, … [Read more...]
Seafood, BBQ & Roast Whole Lamb Dinner Buffet @ Pullman KLCC
The name of this buffet in Pullman Hotel KLCC is quite a mouthful but it totally portrays the main highlights of the buffet! Available every Saturday at 6.30pm-10.00pm, at the Sedap Restaurant, the extensive spread is something that buffet enthusiasts should not miss. Nothing kicks off a buffet better than indulging on a huge variety of seafood on ice. Besides the usual prawns, yabbies, mussels, clams and crabs, look out for the plump freshly-shucked live oysters … [Read more...]
YOI @ Bukit Rimau
Bukit Rimau lies in the fringe of Kota Kemuning and it’s quite often lumped in together with the latter. The whole Kota Kemuning & Bukit Rimau dining scene has been getting quite vibrant with the mushrooming of many diversified eateries. It is of course good news to the residents as there is no lack of restaurant choices in the area. One of the newest eateries to open its doors in Bukit Rimau is YOI. Located in a quiet road with plenty of parking, this cosy eatery packs … [Read more...]
GRUB by Ahong
Grub by Ahong rose to popularity for its no-frills and wallet-friendly steak meals. Housed in an unassuming shoplot in Section 17, Petaling Jaya, queues are often seen before they insisted on online reservations for their customers. Seats then become very “hot” especially during weekends or holidays and you really have to book a few weeks ahead to score a table. Their menu is kept minimal and focused. They only serve what they are good at. Popular cuts of beef like NY Strip, Wagyu and … [Read more...]
GARDENAGE CAFE, Kota Kemuning
When we moved to Kota Kemuning 15 years ago, the main thing that enticed me to this township was the rich and extensive greenery of this place. Tall matured trees and shrubs were everywhere, providing shade and beauty to the environment. Well, most of this green landscape still abounds and for that, I believe many residents are happy. And I believe there are many here who are also lovers of Mother Nature and into gardening – especially the folks who run … [Read more...]
BUTTER MARBLE CAKE
I seldom buy cakes as my family prefers to eat the cakes baked at home. We do buy some, of course – more so the celebratory kind of cakes for birthdays or any special occasions. The other day while at our regular bakery, I bought a piece of Butter Marble Cake, simply because I just wanted a slice. It turned out to be quite disappointing as there was hardly any butter aroma and it was just too soft and fluffy to qualify for a buttercake. To me, buttercakes should be dense, … [Read more...]
