jamie writes: Ah, after a long hiatus, I'm back from my trip to China. This time I visited Hangzhou, Shanghai, ShaoXing, HuangShan, NingBo and XiaMen. Finding vegetarian restaurants in China can be quite tricky as you would definitely need to do your homework before you land in China. However, as I was on a free and easy trip, I did not plan ahead as to where I was going to visit and what had I expected to see. Hoping to try my luck to get to some vegetarian friendly dishes at non-veg eateries was quite successful. My next few posts will be food from different restaurants in different cities as I toured along.Edame - this is ...

jamie writes: Further to my previous post, I had the opportunity to try the famous Villa Danieli at Sheraton KL but only to be disappointed as the pasta was far from the ones I had in Melbourne (especially the ones prepared by my Italian uncle, aunt and cousin!). The tomato sauce was nothing to be boasted about as it was pretty bland and there was nothing special about it. I prefer the pasta at "Delicious", which has more character than the ones at Villa Danieli. BUT!! If you are looking for a quiet place to dine with your other half, wanting to snuggle in a quiet corner with soothing live singing in the background, this is the place to go. Dimmed lighting, ...

jamie writes: Terribly sorry for the hiatus due to some training I had to attend, but here's a great place to visit (highly recommend their buffet spread).Their high tea and dinner is not really a vegetarian friendly spread as there are definitely way more meaty main dishes than vegetarian dishes and there is hardly any 'vegetarian' signage. My friend who was not sure if sea cucumber is vegetarian sought some clarification from the chef only to be told that it is vegetarian since it is a cucumber!!! Sorry, but being a chef, it is your obligation to know the dietary needs of others and if you are not sure, never give any answer and instead ask someone who is more ...

jamie writes: Hunting for a decent late night snack after work, we ended up at Delicious at MidValley Megamall. Ambience and service was good, as usual, but the food was not really up to scratch this time. The trio of dips were fine, but the bread came a bit overcooked and it was crispy and hard like keropok instead of soft and fluffy. The Viet Salad was supposed to come with Chicken, but when we asked if they could make it vegetarian, they came back and said it was doable, however, all they did was take out the chicken bits and all was left was some sliced cucumbers and some salad topped with some peanut dressing - how ...

jamie writes: It's official. Mani the parrot and Paul the Octopus has predicted their winners for the World Cup. Personally, I hope Mani's right! Go Oranje! As for the bronze cup, I hope Paul's right, full speed and accuracy ahead Deutschland! In short, I don't care who predicts what, but rather which team has won my heart and support through their form and personalities. Just like Ghana, they may have lost the match against Uruguay, when their winning goal was denied by Suarez's ...

jamie writes: I love guiling gao and find that it is so much cheaper if I were to make them myself with the ready mix which are being sold in the shop. Unfortunately, when I read the ingredients, I always find "tortoise shell" named as one of the ingredients. So one afternoon, when I was walking around Tropicana City Mall and looking around for a place to sit down to have afternoon tea, I found this shop selling guiling gao at Rm 5 a bowl. While at the shop I looked around discovered that they also sell the guiling gao powder as a ready mix - DIY - and it does not contain the 'tortoise shell". I was elated as I ...

jamie writes: Whenever I am around KLCC area in Jalan Ampang, I will never miss to have my lunch at the Kuan Yin Temple. Parking is free in the front compound of the temple. If you are blocking somebody, just leave your mobile number on the dash board and thereafter you can proceed to have lunch at the back of the temple. There are so many types of vege to choose from for your mix rice and at the other corner you may wish to have soup or dry noodles. There is also a fruit stall with cut fruits. At the drinks section, they have passion fruit or coconut water and also ice kacang. There is also a ...
