OK, here it goes again. I drafted this post yesterday and for some stupid unexplained reason, it didn’t get saved in the computer and all was lost after I closed the file. I spent a couple of hours spinning a tale about the Three Little Pigs... or rather, how the Big Bad Wolves devoured the pigs. So... Once upon a time, together with a pack of Big Bad Wolves (and they’re really bad!), we went to a restaurant built from bricks, mortar and glass, somewhere in Bangsar Village I, and ate up a … [Read more...]
Penang Food Stories (Chapter 1) – Food hunting in Pengkalan Weld
In the past few months, we made a couple of food trips to Penang. The main objective was really to gorge ourselves silly, checking out food places recommended by friends as well as re-visiting old favourites.

In those many hours that we spent on the island (and also in the mainland), we must have worked ourselves through at least a hundred dishes/food items! After driving for more than … [Read more...]
Kampachi @ The Troika, Kuala Lumpur
The popular phrase “The Rise of the Phoenix“ refers to something which makes a spectacular or miraculous comeback.

It’s just that since The Equatorial Kuala Lumpur closed … [Read more...]
Fa Ying @ Paradigm Mall – modern Thai cuisine
I was told that Fa Ying means “princess” in Thai and by that you would nod your head once you know that it is connected to that Thai fine-dining restaurant in Kuala Lumpur called Rama V. Yes, Fa Ying in Paradigm Mall is under the same management as Rama V – people who love and understand Thai food and want to bring Thai cuisine one step closer to the dining public. Whilst Rama V serves authentic traditional Thai cuisine in a more sedate classy environment, Fa Ying on the other hand is clearly … [Read more...]
Crocodile cuisine at Krocies Seafood Restaurant
Eating “exotic meats” of any kind may seem squeamish to many. I happen to fall into this category too. When I got the invitation to try some crocodile cuisine, to be honest, I was hesitant to go. But then curiosity got the better of me and I decided to join a group of foodies to check out Krocies Seafood Restaurant located in the quieter part of SS2, Petaling Jaya. 3-Variety BBQ There we met Aires Lim, owner and director of Krocies Seafood Restaurant who explained to us that consuming … [Read more...]

What are your plans for the coming festivities? Christmas is just round the corner and before you know it, we’ll be ushering in the New Year!

A Delicious Christmas
The latest outlet in the Delicious stable – Delicious @ St Mary Place may not be easy to locate, for some, as it’s inside a block of residential condominium. However, once you drive into Jalan Tengah (which is off the busy Jalan Sultan Ismail, the road where The Lodge is) and you spot the conglomerate of high-rise residences, the unmistakable turquoise signage beckons. The cluster of buildings there comprises the St Mary Residences, the E&O Residences and St Mary Place with a collection of … [Read more...]
