Old Town White Coffee Cafe – Ipoh, Malaysia

oldtown_ipoh4

In the modern, fast-paced (and westernised as a matter of fact) Malaysia, the first thing you will notice is food franchise outlets popping up everywhere! Majority of the chains are US franchises like Macdonald’s, KFC, Kenny Rogers, and Marry Brown (comes with seatings hang from the roof like a swing), Chilis just to name (seriously) [...]

Funny Mountain – Ipoh, Malaysia

Are you a Michael Jackson fan? Me too! But my Michael Jackson is different from your Michael Jackson, well… at least my Michael Jackson is drinkable and slurp-a-licious. This Michael Jackson drink (I actually learned about the MJ name from Almost Bourdain) also known as Black and White drink which I blogged about a while [...]

lncdessert8

It is ChocolateSuze‘s craziest birthday do with a truck load of foodbloggers shoved into a tiny room at Wagaya. The whole night was rather a blur and chaotic – food with no names are shared, well at least the quick hands got some, the slow hands got none. Hence some of the hungry hungry hippos [...]

Dennis’ Dinner party

The aromatic chicken curry is cooked to perfection, tender chicken pieces with soft golden potato nuggets in a thick curry sauce. The thin layer of chili oil on top is already a promising sign that I am going to love this dish without even having to taste it. “How did you make your Curry Chicken, [...]

One dish after another, a carnivore’s dream comes true. On another hand, the way how I was brought up, always told by my parents to just have a little of each dish to go with a big mouthful of steamed rice. On this occasion, I have to make exceptions. Whenever I dine with the two [...]

Whenever I am in Sydney, I always try to make the most of my day… and night with good food if possible. On this occasion, my initial plan was to drop by at Alice’s in Thornleigh for some Malaysian Chinese food on my way home with Big D. After being informed by our friends who [...]

Pork & Garlic Chives Dumplings (韭菜饺子)

Steamed or pan-fried? Why choose when you can have both? Not sure about you, but there is something so comforting about spending a lazy Sunday in the kitchen, making something that I’ve been craving for a long time. Then just sit back, relax in front of TV and indulge myself with delicious food that I [...]

Three Emperor Egg (三皇蛋)

threeemperoregg4

I wish I can tell you why this dish is called the Three Emperor Egg. With no records can be found on internet, I only can assume that this dish is named after the three Emperors in the Chinese legend, dated back 4000-6000 years ago. In fact, even the legend itself has lost in translation [...]

redbansoup5

If there is any comfort food that makes you homesick and nostalgic, then Cantonese style red bean soup with mandarin peel is definitely right on top of my list. Even though is called soup, but it is actually a sweet dessert drink. Different country has different version of the red bean soup, and the key [...]

Penang Har Mee (福建虾面)

*~drool…~* I feel like having another bowl of Penang Har Mee (福建虾面) just by looking at this image again! The intense prawn flavoured spicy soup, the crunchy kangkung (chinese watercress) and bean sprouts, the tender juicy prawn and pork slices, and the fiery hot chilli paste for the final climax, it is seriously a bowl [...]

Lantern Palace – Wamberal

“Oohhhh look, there’s flame in the Satay Chicken!” The Satay Chicken arrives in a plate looks just like a shallow Chiffon cake tin, with violet flame slowly burning in the center. The satay chicken taste rather piquant and unusual with strong sherry flavour used for the burning flame. We looked at each other speechless, we [...]

dragonsdoor_yumcha8

It’s Valentine’s Day, and it’s raining; it is cold and miserable, which also means is Yum Cha day! In Central Coast, you won’t have the dilemma of deciding which Chinese restaurant to go to for Yum Cha, because as far as I am concerned, there is only one restaurant in central coast that offers daily [...]
