After the very positive review I gave on Duck King, LL has been pestering me to take him there. So, we went there last weekend and I was smart enough to book ahead because the place was crowded!We loved their appetizer - this simple little plate of Boiled Peanuts (RM3). The big-sized peanuts had been boiled till very soft in star anise and subtly flavoured with salt and soya sauce. Actually, 1 plate was not enough, but then we reminded ourselves that we had yet to savour their main dishes.The … [Read more...]

MCF Fish & Noodles Restaurant39 Jalan Anggerik Vanilla U31/UKota Kemuning, Section 3140460 Shah Alam Another new food joint has recently opened in Kota Kemuning.

Anyway, this restaurant has now taken over 2 shoplots, with air-cond and non-aircond sections. It’s furnished with simple wooden furniture, some interesting marine life posters on … [Read more...]

It has been quite some time since we last had a meal in Genji. They only serve their Japanese Buffet for dinner on Saturdays and lunch on Sundays. Charging a premium price of RM72++ per person, their buffet is reputed to be of good quality.So, 2 Sundays ago, we went to check whether they have maintained their standards.For starters, their Oysters were one of the hot favourites... no disappointment here as they were very fresh and of a good size...Some of their Sushis and the ever-popular … [Read more...]

Mark's Assam LaksaLG Floor, 1 UtamaBandar Utama(Located next to Johnnie's Steamboat, beside Jusco Supermarket)Today is one of those days when I feel like I needed an Assam Laksa fix - I needed something sour, spicy, light and not too filling but must be yummy.

Even though I have to pay "shopping mall" price - RM6.90 + tax for a bowl, I think it's pretty good lahh...I always ask for extra … [Read more...]

On the 2nd night of our stay in Lumut, we decided to go for dinner in Pantai Remis, having heard of the great seafood available there. We actually wanted to go to Restoran Ling Song Kee - a highly recommended joint, but unfortunately when we stopped in front of that restaurant, there was a sign there which read "We are closed for business from 6-8 June"....Aarghh! what a bummer! Don't they know that they should open every day during the school holidays?! There were so many outstation … [Read more...]

As we were quite unfamiliar with the area, on the way to the hotel, we kept our eyes open for any possible place for food. At the traffic lights junction forking out to Lumut Port, we spied this restaurant's banner hung on a pole by the road side. Seeing that this place was pretty near our hotel, we decided to head there for our dinner on the 1st night.Typical of seafood restaurants in the vicinity, this restaurant was built in its natural surroundings, ie a wooden structure amidst oil palm … [Read more...]

Last week I took a 2-day break at one of our coastal towns - Lumut.

By that time, it was already 2pm, past our regular lunch hour and we were looking for some good grub. I have … [Read more...]
