Menya Musashi @ Isetan, 1 Utama

One of the first words that a Japanese colleague ever uttered to me was, Mushashi ramen. It was one of the first ramen shops ever recommended to me, the first time I visited Japan, but it was several visits later, before I finally made it there, even though it was a short 10-minute walk from my [...]

So, this last weekend, our eating adventures brought us to the sleepy town of Semenyih. We wanted to go check out the Fish Valley Semenyih Restaurant, that so many people had blogged about. The last time we were here, the Fish Valley Fish Farm had barely opened. It was just a lush green spot with [...]

Best Tomato Noodles in Town – at Megah Good Luck

Just across the road from Restoran Gembira is Megah Good Luck. This is the place that I was referring to, that does the better Sarawak kolo mee. But it’s not just kolo mee that we come here for. the sexy, slurpy and super tasty Sarawak Tomato Kwey Teow

Restoran Gembira Kolo Mee

Kolo Mee is a very famous hawker food and a signature noodle dish in Sarawak, a simple bowl of egg noodles, cooked al dente, then served with classically garlic, shallots, minced pork, white vinegar, pork oil, pork lard and charsiew (sliced barbecue pork). It is one of the most common food found in Kuching, but [...]

Putien @ 1 Utama Shopping Centre

“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 [...]

Verona Trattoria Section 17

We are back at Verona! This place now serves pork, and since our past experiences have always been good here, we were pretty sure that the latest grub offerings would be good too.(Read our past post here). Verona Trattoria has in its repertoire the casual home cooking style that might be called bistros or diners [...]

Petite Millie at 1 Utama

Today I want to talk about Petite Millie. Petite Millie is an extension of the flagship restaurant Millesime, located in Menara Kencana Petroleum in the Solaris Dutamas area. The Petite Millie name bears the meaning ‘Little Millesime’. Whilst Millesime started off as more of a “private kitchen” with no fixed menu, and eating only the [...]

Opika @ 1 Utama

Switching to organic is tough for many people who don’t want to pay higher prices or give up their favorite foods. But by choosing certain organic versions of just a few foods that you eat often, you can increase the percentage of organic food in your diet without big changes to your lifestyle. People who [...]

We found a fabulous new place for Cendol! James Cendol on Old Klang Road does some great Cendol indeed! This spanking new cendol joint (only 6 months old) is situated next to Lee Chong Wei Sri Sentosa Sports Complex (map attached at the end of post), on Old Klang Road. Cumi stumbled upon it, as [...]

Verona Trattoria Section 17

At first glance, Verona Trattoria seems like an odd match for the quiet neighbourhood of section 17. Located right next to Bistro a Table, as well, you would think it might feel a little daunted by the French fine-dining restaurant next door. Though it calls itself a bistro, we know how high end the food [...]
