Flying Wantan Mee @ Simon’s Delights, Paramount PJ

It was the case of the Flying Wantan noodles, that brought us out to lunch at Simon’s Delights one fine afternoon… How high can you go?   Or How high can you fly? Tossing the wantan noodles to new heights – that’s what this guy does for a living. He can be spotted at Restoran [...]

Songkran @ Erawan

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

I’m glad I was not in Thailand for Songkran. Armed with water guns, the weekend of Songkran, is a great excuse Thai folks to shoot girls and boys and tourists alike with water. Of course, the boys, girls and tourists shoot back. Needless to say, this is the country’s most popular festival, which runs every [...]

Lip-smacking dishes at Di Wei, Empire Hotel Subang

We traipse over to Di Wei, Empire Hotel Subang.. because we caught the scent of an Apple Cider roast duck! What’s there not to like, about a succulent, glistening, beautifully browned bird. Not much. And at Di Wei, a rather fantastic version of the bird, called the Honey Apple Cider Crispy Roast duck, was something [...]

Big Tree Pan Mee @ Sungai Way PJ

Introducing one of my favourite breakfast places, called the ‘Big Tree Pan Mee’ .. do you know it? The best thing about getting my car serviced is actually, the breakfast.

Yokotaya @ Section 17 PJ

We pay Yokotaya a Visit.. the newest Japanese restaurant on the Section 17 strip.. Section 17 is developing nicely into a rather cool neighborhood for good food.

Di Wei, Empire hotel and the massive Poon Choi

What on earth is a “Poon Choi” ? I had never tried it before, so I was pretty excited to see what lay underneath the lid of that huge claypot. At Di Wei, Poon Choi or Big Bowl Feast is really a sight for sore eyes.. Poon Choi, that comes from the Song Dynasty, is [...]

Fa-Ying great cocktails and Sandwiches!

Not just great.. but Bloody Fa-Ying Great Cocktails and Sandwiches at Fa-Ying, by Rama V! Don’t ask the chef here, what sorcery he worked over the kitchen. Just ask him to weave his magic again on one of the crusty ciabatta sandwiches, and trust me, with meats flavoured the old-fashioned Thai way, you’ll be begging [...]

Fa Ying by Rama V @ Paradigm Mall

Fa Ying by Rama V, is the latest addition to Paradigm Mall, PJ. The name which means celestial princess in Thai, is a perfect match for this contemporary Thai restaurant with a feminine touch. Maybe it’s the striking trademark fuchsia pink seats against stark black deco that pushes all the right buttons (and I do [...]
