Chef Choi may not offer glitzy decor or trendy music, but it has carved out an enviable niche with its ‘great flavours’ & staff who make everyone feel ‘remembered & special’. Unlike the competition hereabouts, there is plenty of elbow room in this cozy restaurant I have come to call, a second home. And you [...]
Soup Restaurant specializes in more than just soup. This place boasts of homecooked meals and family recipes with a distinctively traditional taste. It used to be called, “Soup Restaurant” in some places, and “Dian Xiao Er” in Singapore but now, they are just known popularly as Soup Restaurant. The inspiration for the soothing bowls of [...]
“Heng hwa is a rather watery language.” I still remember my friend, who happens to be Heng Hwa, tell me this, one day, as we were crossing the road coming back from school. I say, “you mean flowery language?” No, watery she says. “Ever stood next to a Heng Hwa, speaking her mother tongue?” I [...]
As the faint sound of a sizzle of meat made it’s way to our ears, the air smelled of smoke, garlic and pork fat. Pork is a beautiful thing.. in a sweet succulent brined pork chop way, or in a smoky, falling off the cracker, dry-cured parma ham way. It’s delicious as a rillette with a [...]
I suppose I have a few food-inclined friends who are still obsessed with fresh truffles. They tend to know a great deal, on the subject matter, and go through great lengths to transport/ship/hand-carry fresh truffles back home to KL, for the sake of a meal. They also go through great pains to keep the truffles [...]
One of our all time favourite dimsum places is, Clan Restaurant, in Sri Petaling. These guys are fast, clean and cheap. The dimsum of course, is incredibly good. Otherwise, we wouldn’t eat here, would we;) They also have this crazy Gai Wo Bao, which translates to ‘Chicken Nest Bun’. Clan Restaurant owners are the creators of [...]
Chinese New Year is a little like Thanksgiving where there’s celebration, massive feasting, visiting relatives and where ornate, wildly colored dragons, kamquat trees, and generally, decorations that are “red” in colour, are used to decorate the place for good luck. Chinese restaurants will inadvertently be serving up dishes with names that mean “good luck” and “fortune”. Part [...]
Hairy crabs, a.k.a. Chinese mitten crabs .. Feeling a little tied up? roe, roe , roe your boat, gently down the stream.. merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream .. braised hairy crab egg noodles .. love me, love my crab meat and roe .. Feeling too square for some Iberico Suckling Pig? [...]
Today is the first time I have had the pleasure of eating dimsum, that is not served in the traditional dimsum manner. Generally, the fundementals of a dimsum experience are, a big round table, large buzzing families, a noisy dining area and many chinese people crammed into one table, around a lazy susan, eating, laughing [...]
Another great restaurant to check out for the MIGF festivities is Lai Ching Yuen. Me and the hubby just dined there last week and we can attest to the fact that the food is good. If you are wondering why the name Lai Ching Yuen sounds unfamiliar, it’s because it used to be called Zing. [...]
Imagine our amazement when we were told that Elegant Inn now offers steamboat for dinner. Not just any old sort of steamboat, but rather high quality ingredients, that go with an equally fantastic stock. Most of the time, I try to slink low and avoid eye contact when someone suggests steamboat for dinner. I find [...]
