Dinner with a couple of friends in Taman Equine, Seri Kembangan. The star of the show: Stewed Pork Rib (红烧长骨). RM20. A little too much MSG in it but absolutely yummy. So yummy I have to post two images of the same dish :D Stir fried vege, RM6 Kong Po Squid, RM12 Total: RM 43.30 including tea, hot water and extra rice. Love the pork rib and I will definitely come back for this again!

We were in Semenyih one evening around dinner time. We wanted to dine at Semenyih 52 but decided to try out a new place that a friend recommended -好朋友海鲜餐厅 (Ho Pang Yao seafood restaurant) - which was just about 50 meters away from Semenyin 52. Bruce Lee Steamed Tilapia. RM43. A little too spicy for my liking but my friends loved it. Stir Fried Sotong with Pineapple. RM25 Yummy! Sambal

I have heard about Langat Seafood and Beer Garden a few times and finally have a chance to dine there a few days ago. What we ordered: Claypot tilapia. Nice and fresh (of course!). No muddy smell either. However, the fish was quite fat! RM61.50!!! Claypot pork with potatoes in it. Lovely but I wished the pork were slightly leaner! RM25 Sambal pucuk paku. Okay but the shoots were a little

Another run-of-the-mill dim sum place. This one is in Jinjang Utara. I went to the post office there because I had to mail a parcel overseas. As usual, overly tasty because the food was loaded with MSG. You could tell it tasted unnaturally flavorful as soon as you took a bite. The irritating thirst that lingered on hours after the meal further reinforced my belief that heavy dosage of MSG was

Chen Chen Hong Kong Goose Duck Chicken in Pudu. There are two others nearby, on the same street. I think I have tried them all and frankly, none impressed me. This one even advertises Hong Kong "Sham Tseng" on the signboard! Sham Tseng is famous for its roast goose! But since it's been a long time since I last dined there, I went ahead to try this one, again. Quarter of a goose. Rather chewy,

We wanted to try the siew yuk (roast pork) but it was all sold out. So was the wonton noodle :( We ended up with just char siew (BBQ Pork) and sausage. The char siew was really nice. I think I like the char siew here more than the one in Famous Seremban Favorite Taugeh...nice and crunchy. Better than most other places I've been to. The bill came to RM33.00 for what you see above, two

Again, another stall that caught my attention because of there were always many patrons there. This one was selling claypot chicken rice. I just had a good one in Brickfields and thought it'd be interesting to make a comparison so I checked this one out. Claypot chicken rice. The chicken was quite dry. There was salted fish too but it's all pre-mixed in the rice. Lotus root soup with chicken

I have been told that the char siew in this place is really great so I decided to give it a try one day. Char Siew (BBQ Pork). This was nice but perhaps we set our expectation too high. It just wasn't as tender I'd liked them to be. Siew Yuk (Roasted Pork). The skin was quite hard and not very crispy. Totally subpar compared to places like Kuala Lipis Noodle but too bad it closed down

Every time I passed by this stall, I saw many patrons there so one day I decided to try it myself. Big mistake! Wonton noodle with mushroom and chicken feet. You can tell how soggy the noodles were from here, can't you? The chicken feet weren't very tender either. Fu Zhuk Yee Mai I must say the fact that they made their own noodle was also part of the reasons I stepped into this stall. Big

I have been to this nasi kandar/fish head curry stall twice but thought of trying out ZK this time but it was closed for lunch because of Ramadhan. Only opens from 3pm onwards. Then I noticed this stall just next to ZK. Not many varieties there, probably because it's Ramadhan? RM8.00 for these. The squid was quite good. Certain parts were quite chewy but the gravy was nice. Fried tofu,

A friend of mine told me about this authentic Thai food stall in Taman Bukit Maluri a few days ago and since I like Thai food very much, I decided to check it out today. Pad Thai. I am sure it's very authentic as this stall was operated by Thai guys, and this plate was cooked by a Thai lady. It tasted sweet, and no wok hei at all. I added some chili powder, but still couldn't cover up the sweet

My friend and I had lunch at Kokoro Bento in Kota Kemuning. After browsing the menu for a while, we decided to go for the RM24.90 Norweigian fish promotion set meal which includes starter (chawanmushi, or mini udon, or salad), miso soup, rice, cold dishes, dessert (matcha ice cream or red bean soup or cheese cake) and free flow of green tea. Miso soup (part of the set lunch), and Chuka

This claypot chicken rice stall in Brickfield has been there for as long as I can remember. Since I hadn't had claypot chicken rice for ages, I decided to have it for dinner. It's across the road from 7-11, near YMCA, A pot for one. With tender chicken, lap cheong and ham yue (salted fish - in the little saucer). Very natural taste and no evidence of excessive MSG. I like it. The chicken was

My first time making BBQ chicken wings in my turbo oven. Chicken wings marinated with soy sauce, 5 spice powder and some white pepper for at least 4 hours. I set my Turbo Oven to 250 deg C. After about 15 minutes, I brushed some undiluted honey on the wings. Top side first, then turned the wings over and brushed the other side as well. Then leave the wings that way and continue to grill at 250

I was at Kepong Village Mall around 1 pm one day and didn't feel like braving the heat and traffic outside. That was when I saw this little nyonya express cafe. The price seemed reasonable so I gave it a try. Nyonya curry mee. The kitchen didn't even heat up the broth enough. Just luke warm when served. Not good. Inside Kepong Village Mall. RM7.50 including one soft drink.

A member of The Makan Club on Facebook posted about authentic Penang "sar hor fun" in Taman Bukit Maluri, Kepong and also mentioned that the char kueh teow there was good. Barely a few days later, I checked out both the char kueh teow and "char tua pan" (Penang style sar hor fun). Yummy char kway teow. Full of "wok hei" and tasted very good. The "siham" (cockles) were a little overcooked

Hock Seng Rojak / Rojak King. I have heard so much about this place and I finally had a chance to taste the rojak here. You will notice almost immediately that the rojak sauce here is not as dark as those from Gurney Drive hawker center. RM8 for this bowl. I liked that they added dried shrimps to the rojak, but the sauce was just way too sweet for my liking. I thought it was me but when i

I have tried sambal petai at so many places. Very few of them were just okay and most of them were just plain bad. Check out my past petai adventures here: - Murni Kepong: nasi goreng with sambal udang petai - Sri Sinar Food Court "siu chao" - Restoran Double Seven, Sri Bintang - Madam Lim's Kitchen, Kepong Village Mall. - Restoran Sen Lee Heong, Sri Sinar So what has been stopping me

What is it with some restaurants and their names? Steam "King", Noodle "Palace",  "One" la mian...etc etc. . And this one.....the English/Malay name - LP Noodle Station - is okay. It's the Chinese name that bothers me - 至尊麵! 至尊 means supreme, ace or something like that. The name piqued my curiosity so I decided to check out the restaurant. Naturally, I ordered a noodle dish, even though I

I met up with friends from Foodie Friends International facebook group for dinner not too long ago. This restaurant was recommended by one of the members. I didn't know where it was but it was among the food POIs in my gps navigator so it was a piece of cake getting there:D Sorry I forgot to take a photo of the facade. Maybe next time since I know I will definitely go back to this place again!

I walked by Uncle Jerry BKT a few times. What attracted me was that this BKT place offers not just the usual pork BKT, but also a few other options such as chick kut teh, and mutton kut teh! I finally made a visit there but since it was my first time there, I decided to try the normal pork BKT first. The mutton and/or chick kut teh will have to wait till my subsequent visits.

I thought I was quite familiar with Penang, but had no idea there was this cafe by the beach in that part of town. But then again, you can't see it from the road if you were just driving by. Northam Beach Cafe is opposite MBF building. Plenty of car parking space available. Lor Bak Thai style clam. Slightly sour and very garlicky. Nice! Rice with fried fish. Tasted some. Not to my liking.

Restoran Hong Kong Dim Sum Kepong Baru. I wasn't aware of the existence of this dim sum place until I went to check out the wet market in Kepong Baru. It always seems to be quite packed in the morning so I decided to give it a try one day. Hong Kong style Chu Cheong Fun. I was hoping it was freshly made but it wasn't.
