If you are a lamb lover, you should head over to Las Carettas Mexican Restaurants before the end of this month. Why?

Start off your meal with a Las Carettas signature Margarita Owner and Chef Victor Siow has led his team in coming up with Pan-seared Lamb Shoulder Racks that are deliciously tender and juicy.

Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel & Towers
Whenever we go to Hong Kong, one of our favourite areas to be is Tsim Sha Tsui. It is, after all, the “happening” place to be where dining and shopping are concerned.

Nathan Road is the main thoroughfare that runs through this area and huge malls, boutiques, restaurants and commercial buildings flank both sides of the … [Read more...]

My favourite is the pinkish Hoegaarden Rosee with a delightful fruity … [Read more...]
Xin Cuisine – divine dimsum for private dining
We all know that for an authentic dimsum experience, it should be all about selecting your favourites from piled-high baskets on trolleys and carts pushed around in the restaurant. At least that’s how dimsum was enjoyed back in my hometown. One of my favourite earliest childhood memories is going for “yum cha” in the wee hours of the morning, just after dawn and chasing after the dimsum carts for my favourite siew mais. King Siew Mai There are still some restaurants here that serve … [Read more...]
Ah Boy Kwayteow T’ng, Penang
Have you heard about this stall? Apparently most of the locals in Penang want to keep this secret. In a recent trip up north to Penang, we were told to search for this place along Argyll Road. So the Sunday before we left the island, we dutifully drove along Argyll Road looking out for a push cart that reputedly serves one of the best Kwayteow T’ng on the island. As we took the turn-off from Penang Road and drove down Argyll Road (which is a one-way street), we couldn’t spot any cart. … [Read more...]

Craving for Balitong? Check out Tian Lee @ Port Klang
Are you a fan of balitong? Balitong – or “siput sedut” in Malay is an edible sea snail usually cooked in a spicy sauce or with coconut milk in “masak lemak” style. You either love it or hate it.
