Dim Sum Day 4: Man Fu Yuan

camemberu — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 08:44:00 +0000

I guess it's safe to blog about dim sum again, without anyone suffering overload from the dim sum marathon organised by Cuisine & Wine Asia. We continue with Day 4, at Man Fu Yuan of Hotel InterContinental. I'd heard good things about the food here, and I was not disappointed. First up - they have the elusive dim sum called "Harm Soei Gok" - Deep-fried traditional chicken dumpling. The best I've ever had too - the glutinous rice skin is evenly thin, and the savoury filling is a harmony of chicken, mushroom and chives. Surrounded! Is the tiny flower fearful? It need not be. We polished off the plump dumplings in a flash. Yum yum. Speaking of which, we need to bring Aromacookery here. It was a pity she could not attend this session. Deep-fried yam croquette with minced duck. So light and delicate the lacy batter. This dim sum is an old favourite of mine, so I liked this too. I detected a most delicious buttery or dairy-like flavour in the deep-fried filo dough. Patrick,...

The City Kid (Part 8): Lang-ka-wi

ladyironchef — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 07:10:52 +0000

Somehow the name langkawi remains me of kawaii, not that they have anything in common. It is with the same cheerful tone that we stepped ashore at the beautiful island; you can’t be too upset when the scenery around is so magnificent.

Alcohol now served at Subang Skypark Terminal!

550ml jar of faith — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 05:57:00 +0000

Just a quick one before I head back to KL - this discovery got me very excited on Friday evening at Subang Skypark Terminal, which I have to say is sprucing up very nicely and making LCCT seem very much like a much poorer cousin. Drinking & flying are almost synonymous activities, yet because we are the way we are, Malaysian airports very often leave you high and very dry. Palms Sports Bar & Grill, less than a week old. Now you can fly budget, AND intoxicated! Your typical airport bar - busy carpet pattern: CHECK! Food menu are standard grill favourites with Bangers & Mash and Sheperd's Pie thrown in - nothing too impressive but for lack of choice in the area, is comforting. The drinks menu - to numb the frustrated travellers and temper in-flight rage I have a cool tall one of the local Tiger before proceeding to the departure lounge. The one-hour flight back to Penang's never been smoother!

vkeong’s Taiwan Trip Day 2 - CKS Memorial Hall, Longshan Temple & Taipei 101

vkeong — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 17:32:22 +0000

Continued from Day 1 of my Taiwan trip. We decided to skip the free breakfast provided by our hostel because I have made it a point to try the Taiwanese traditional breakfast. I guess because it’s a different culture, most Taiwanese do not have their breakfast in the food shops. Instead, they take away the prepacked [...]

kensongs — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 15:08:00 +0000

Located at the corner of the ground floor of Amoy Street Food Centre, this fried kway teow stall was one of the very few stalls that were open when I was there on a Sunday afternoon. Unable to resist the sinful fragrance of the fried kway teow, I decid...

When we were on Penang two weeks ago we re-visited eighty-year-old coffee shop Toon Leong. It's been 18 months, but we found the same vintage decor, same vintage crowd, same vintage owner - though he and his son now wear...

Farlim Rojak

Cokeworld Citizen — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 10:04:00 +0000

Although I am not a rojak fan now, I used to have it weekly. She has been selling here for years, if not mistaken, since primary. I am sure with wikipedia everyone knows what is Rojak so no need to explain for that. For me, I like to dip apple slices with rojak sauce :D Yupz, those are tubs of fresh prawn paste and sweet bean paste. Besides here, she also sells at SMK Air Itam on alternate days but its uncertain which day is for which place. These are regular rojak ingredients i.e. cucumber, mengkuang, pineapple, jambu batu, sour mangoes and cuttle fish (in the red pail). The aunty uses a plastic sheet to cover the fruits to avoid flies hovering over them. When you stand beside the aunty's stall, you would see that her rojak sauce ingredients are kept in a steel case. There would be sweet bean paste, prawn paste, grinded roasted peanuts, chilli and grinded charcoal roasted belacan. Yupz, belacan (dried shrimp paste). Normally we would ask rojak aunty to separate the sauce from...
