XIN CUISINE’s RM15 Value Meals: Takeaway/Home Delivery
Many of us are now doing a lot of things in a new norm, thanks to the pandemic. One of these is having takeaway food or have food delivered to us. On days when I don’t feel like cooking at home, I would prefer to order takeaway meals, rather than dining out. Sometimes I find it such a drag having to drive out, find a parking, wear a mask, have temperature taken at restaurant doorway, register to get into the restaurant, sanitise hands and then only enter. That’s really a lot of … [Read more...]
LE SENSE: Dim Sum on another level
Where should I start about the best Dim Sum experience I’ve just had? No, it wasn’t in any high-class Michelin-starred restaurant nor any 5-star hotel in the big city.

YUK SOU HIN @ Weil Hotel, Ipoh
One of the most popular meals one can have in Ipoh is Dim Sum. It’s so well-loved that not only it is eaten at breakfast and lunch, some restaurants do serve it at night as well. Growing up in Ipoh, a dim sum supper was something of a big treat for me, because we were poor and could not afford this very often. Ipoh folks eat dim sum at the crack of dawn – it’s not unusual to see the popular dim sum restaurants being full and crowded by 7am! As a kid, I was always excited, despite being … [Read more...]
