vkeong writes: Fong Lye is a Taiwanese Restaurant which has recently opened their latest outlet in The Gardens, Midvalley. Among the many restaurants in The Gardens, we chose to dine in Fong Lye because it was the most cheapest restaurant we could find. Well maybe cheap priced food comes with cheap quality.. our dinner was not good at all. Lesson well learnt: you get what you paid for. We ordered three types of food and only this Fried Seafood Spaghetti tasted good, it was a bit spicy. But, it was not worth its price tag at all. RM20+ for a simple seafood spaghetti like this.. not many seafood also! And ... read more

vkeong writes: This is a quite popular and nice nasi lemak in Kepong Baru’s ‘wai sik kai’. If you’re from Kepong you should probably already know this nasi lemak stall. And I bet you have eaten it a couple of times already too. A normal order would be the usual anchovies, hard boiled egg and sambal. But you can opt for add-on dishes to make it a bigger and of course, a more delicious meal. What makes a good nasi lemak? The sambal of course. No matter how tasty the other dishes are, sambal provides the ‘kick’ and most importantly improves the taste a lot. Most curries are not too ... read more

vkeong writes: The sky was exceptionally clear and blue yesterday.. and the cloud formation was perfect.. such a nice weather is hard to come by nowadays. So, I took the opportunity and went to Putrajaya to experiment with some HDR shots. This is my third time taking HDR in Putrajaya, which I have finally managed to get some satisfied results to share with you. HDR tutorials are abundant on the Internet but I will try to come up with my own later. Because I can only fit at most 500px wide photos in my blog, these are actually smaller version of the HDR. To view the full size, do click the photos and it will bring you to my flickr!... read more

vkeong writes: So, I went and tried Sister’s Char Koay Teow in McAlister Road before I left Penang. It it said to be one of the best char koay teow in Penang, with a notorious reputation of being overpriced and arrogant. I even heard that you would be charged for not ordering a drink in the coffee shop. I had to see it for myself to confirm this. The coffee shop was pretty empty when I went there. Only a few tables were seated and it didn’t seem as busy as I expected, since it’s supposed to be famous and all. To ... read more

vkeong writes: A few weeks ago I went to Klang in search of the best Klang Bak Kut Teh. I’ve visited and tried most of the Bak Kut Teh restaurant in Klang, and left only a few more to cover. My first stop was Fong Keow Bak Kut Teh restaurant, which is located in Taman Intan (formerly known as Taman Rashna). In Chinese this place is called “Lan Hua Yuan”. In this area alone there are like five to six Bak Kut Teh restaurants. With such stiff competition, each restaurant needs to have their own distinguishable taste and quality to survive in ... read more

vkeong writes: You won’t believe where I went to celebrate my last Valentine’s day. It wasn’t at any fancy Western restaurant nor a romantic candle light dinner. Partly because most of the restaurants in Penang were already fully booked a few days ahead. So, we decided to have a seafood feast at Bali Hai Seafood Market - a seafood restaurant along Gurney Drive. We thought that the money would be better spent on seafood than lamb or steaks. And boy, did we make a helluva good decision! Before the showing the foods I ate, let me give you a tour of the seafoods Bali Hai has to offer.... read more

vkeong writes: When I got paid the 2nd time by Advertlets, I decided to spend all of it on a meal. The amount I was paid was RM100 in cheque. It was not a lot, but I was convinced it would buy us a very nice dinner somewhere in Penang. Heeding the recommendations of friends, we chose Chicago Rib House in Autocity. One of our main courses (we ordered 2 main courses lol) was a combination of pork ribs and chicken fillets served with mashed potatoes and broccoli. If you don’t like pork, there’s also beef ribs. You can also choose the spiciness of your ribs, we wanted it to ... read more

vkeong writes: This curry laksa @ curry noodle stall is introduced by none other than my dear gf. When she was working as a industrial trainee in Shah Alam, her colleagues always brought her to Glenmarie for the famous curry laksa. She has been telling me how good the curry laksa tasted, which I can only ponder. After returning to Cyberjaya to work, I finally have the opportunity to try it. The modus operandi is systematic and seems almost like a human factory for producing your very own bowl of curry noodles. Firstly, you will specify ... read more

vkeong writes: A nice bowl of ais kacang during a hot day does wonders I was spending the day hunting for my new camera and it was scorching hot. So, we stopped at Lorong Selamat to enjoy some ais kacang and to cool off. And do you know that the famous char koay teow here has moved to their own coffee shop? Their new shop is a corner shop at the end of the road. I think the char koay teow stall’s migration has affected the business a lot.. it used to be difficult to find a seat. Now, seats are freely available. This is one ... read more

vkeong writes: Matsuki Japanese Restaurant serves by far the best teppanyaki I’ve ever had in Penang. Forget about Yaki Teppan in Bayan Baru I blogged earlier, this is the real deal. The teriyaki sauce is so thick and tasty, you will feel that you are getting your money’s worth. The variety of Japanese foods here is awesome. You can get almost anything you want here from sushi to teriyaki to sashimi. This is the sushi sifu standing by to prepare sushi upon orders. It was quite enjoyable to see him prepare the sushis while we were having ... read more
