On days when I’m too lazy to go out for lunch, I turn to comfort food like Instant Noodles! Yes, I know it’s not very healthy… but what to do - once in a while I guess it’s OK to indulge in this little sin. While I’m not a fan of all things Korean, I do find this particular Instant Noodles rather delicious. Nong Shim Korean Claypot Ramyun… always have one of these somewhere in my office drawer... Peel back the cover and this is what you get...Empty the sachet of flavoured granules onto the … [Read more...]

Kedai Makanan Teow Feng26G Jalan B25/BTaman Industri Axis, Seksyen 25Taman Sri Muda40400 Shah AlamClosed on Sundays(Location: A few shoplots away from Public Bank, in the row in front of Spring Golden Cha-Siew)I first heard about this Bak Kut Teh (BKT) place from a rave review by a fellow flogger - but he was talking about the parent shop (in Kg Subang) and this outlet here is merely the branch. Anyway, since this place is less than 5 minutes' from my house, we decided to give it a try.I was … [Read more...]

Dave's Deli has been around the Klang Valley for many years and I'm sure almost everyone knows about them. Now, if you think the food taste the same in every outlet, then you're pretty much wrong. I used to think that too. The menu may be the same but certainly, the portions and taste differ from outlet to outlet.One of the best outlets - in terms of portions and taste, is surely the one in 1 Utama. Compared to other outlets (eg the one in Subang Parade - sucky!), the 1U outlet comes up … [Read more...]

Kluang StationLG-337 New Wing1 Utama Shopping MallBandar UtamaPetaling JayaThere are only a few "upmarket" kopitiams that I really like, around the Klang Valley. The Kluang Station kopitiams, which sprouted from the original dilapidated kopitiam in Kluang are a far cry from the parent. The Kluang Stations around here are housed mainly in shopping malls.I like Kluang Station mainly for their Iced Kopi. The local brew is really "khau" enough, not too sweet and tastes absolutely refreshingly … [Read more...]

Since the first post I did on Bumbu Bali, we have been back there again. Besides the Nasi Campur which LL absolutely loved & had to order again, we tried their Grilled Lamb Chop (RM23.50). 2 huge pieces of shoulder chops were served with fries, a separate bowl of salad, a huge piece of watermelon and a bowl of their special Bumbu gravy. The lamb has been marinated with some spices, black pepper and grilled to perfection with a hint of lemongrass. The fragrant gravy had mixed flavours of … [Read more...]

Well, obviously the good people who opened this Pizza & Satay joint think it’s an excellent idea to offer a wide variety of food items to their clientele - from Italian pizza & pasta to our favourite local delights like nasi lemak, laksa and satay!
