We are besotted and obsessed with Restoran 33′s noodles, our current fave hole-in-the-wall, Chinese coffee shop. Smack in the middle of one of the busier blocks in Taman Bukit Anggerik, Cheras, Restoran 33 is a modest coffee shop that’s popular with local residents for its succulent Chinese dumplings (sui kao) and Pan Mee. Though the [...]
I love Chinese New Year celebrations at Chef Choi. It’s always such a porky affair.. I know I will definitely eat my fill of suckling pig and oh, for the love of crispy crackling skin! This year’s menu was a bit of an experimental menu , thrown together by the Chef.. But first the Yee [...]
Finally.. Pisco Bar opens its doors to Kuala Lumpur.. I had my induction into Pisco, not too long ago. Being friends of Miguel Hokama, the only Peruvian chef in KL, we quickly got acquainted with the Peruvian way of kicking back and relaxing. After a couple of BBQ house parties and mingling with his Peruvian [...]
Everybody has their favorite place for Cendol.. especially when the weather gets hot! Malaysians love their desserts, and when the weather gets hot, they naturally look for the nearest cendol stall. Cendol resembles a green worm-like jelly, and its basic ingredients are coconut milk, a worm-like jelly made from rice flour with green food coloring [...]
I’ve always liked Five Sen5es at the Westin KL because the place is so darn chic. It just oozes class, and the food is awesome too. I also like the fact that when you dine there, you are supposed to use all your 5 senses – sight, sound, smell, taste and touch. I couldn’t wait [...]
Double your Chinese New Year luck, with two menus, from Li Yen at The Ritz-Carlton KL and then, Shanghai at JW Marriott.. I really cannot believe that Chinese New Year is almost upon us once more. Everything files at the speed of light when you’re busy I suppose. Having just come back from a 2 [...]
Two weeks abroad and one massive hankering for Hokkien Mee.. One of the great things about being away, is coming back to some good old fashioned Chinese hawker food. Doesn’t absence just make the heart (and stomach) grow fonder? And one of the great things about getting home on the weekend means loads of time [...]
Chef Sam Leong cooks up some wonderful contemporary chinese dishes at Tao, Intercontinental Kuala Lumpur.. We had no idea that Chef Sam Leong would be in KL, and for such a short time too. It was fortunate then, that we managed to try his wonderful contemporary chinese cuisine at Tao, Intercontinental Kuala Lumpur, over the [...]
So this is where we spent Christmas lunch.., at Cellar Door with Chef Andrew Blundy.. If some benevolent Chef is offering to cook, and be there to ring in Christmas with you, with a huge 6 course feast complete with wine pairings, don’t say no.. Just show up! And since I don’t cook anyway, this [...]
“I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them [...]
Honey colored wood walls stretch high to the sky at Cellar Door, dampening music and conversation. An equally handsome wooden floor and soft incandescent lighting create a subterranean ambience akin to a monk’s cheese cellar. Softly illuminated in the room’s center is a long bar that dominates one side of the dining room and is [...]
