When Megan Wong left her job as a Financial Controller and said goodbye to the corporate world, she decided to revive her family’s heritage wanton noodles business. If you are older than me and has been a true-blue KLite, you’d probably know about Chan Fatt Wanton Mee in the Pudu wet market. Megan’s parents – the late Woon Poon and his wife, Lee Yit Yee started the business as a small stall in 1955 (imagine, that’s during the British era!). They sold only wanton noodles with char siu and sui gao … [Read more...]

And of course, I have dined many times at her restaurant Meatology in TTDI (which used to be the Boathouse) and our friendship has strengthened over time. Passion for cooking and her restaurant is what drives Yenni and she’s constantly renewing, revamping and creating new stuff. Many … [Read more...]

THE TANG ROOM – tantalising Cantonese cuisine at The Starling
The Starling Mall is fast becoming one of the more popular residential malls in Damansara Utama, thanks to its line-up of interesting tenants and eateries.

With their sister restaurants - Ming Room and Han Room (and the Nobles and Orientals properties) firmly established in the F&B scene here, it’s not surprising that the Tang Room has now joined the stable. Occupying several lots … [Read more...]
