Lyrical Lemongrass writes: 1. When the mind wanders to the gutter, there is no turning back. That’s all I can say when I heard the name Oriental Spoon. Oh, their tagline’s “Wholesomely Oriental”. *big smile* 2. Fatboybakes decreed that I had a non-existent social life and took it upon himself to ensure that I was suitably entertained at night by issuing me an invitation to dine at Oriental Spoon (upon the request of his “Godma” who instructed him one morning over breakfast to “get your food blogger friends over to Sooka Sentral to try out Ming Lee’s new restaurant”). ...

Robyn Eckhardt writes: I have fond memories of Dalat Aw Taw Kaw, a vast fresh and prepared foods market across the street from Bangkok's more famous Chatuchak (aka the 'Weekend Market') boasting a selection of edibles that never failed to get my saliva glands working. My Thai teacher introduced me to Aw Taw Kaw in 2002 and almost every visit Dave and I have made to Bangkok since we left a year later has included a morning spent grazing its front aisle. But it's been a couple of years, and I had no idea that Aw Taw Kaw had undergone a serious, floor-to-ceiling renovation. While I was in the US Dave found ...

Tummythoz writes: I have noticed this shack many times before since I patronise Ong Lai Goh Kee nearby. However due to the big steel pots it has I took for granted it is just another bah-kut-teh set-up. Due to that perception, I was not inclined to try as there is no customary appetizing herbal whiffs emanating from them. That and coupled with the sight of only one or two tables seen occupied usually by a few

boo_licious writes: catch the egg tarts quickly as they sell like hotcakes A very quick one, as I am super tired after a long meal. It was a good meal - an eye opener. Back to basics, we visited this stall in Simee market. Took us some time to get here as I got terribly lost. Even though I had directions, I was stumped when I was told to look for roundabouts vs traffic lights on the road. wobbly egg custard encased in a flaky pastry shellCome ...

vkeong writes: CAFF prides itself as the first Italian Fusion Restaurant in Puchong with their very own “Open-Kitchen”. This means that you can actually see the chef in action preparing your ordered food. Nothing is hidden and it draws the customers closer to the kitchen. CAFF serves a combination of Italian, Asian and Western menu to cater for local taste buds. Hence, the fusion concept. Established in 2005, CAFF serves mainly Pasta, Pizza and grilled food. I came to know CAFF through 8TV’s Hochak and the Oven Baked Escargot (snail) featured in the show gave me a deep impression on the restaurant. The restaurant had a promotion going ...

team bsg writes: The non-beef first lady recommended Korean in Korea Centre opposite Ampang Point, KL, for the other luscious meat she craved for no end. A place we thought was as far away as Seoul. Arriving by turbo at eight something pm we zoomed through the tight new Asian Renaissance , only to realise that the other gentle lady from Medan couldn't go with the much craved. And so at a late 9 something pm we got hastily reacquainted with the Rhinestone Cowboy, just down the road , avoiding a near certain cross cultural faux pas of a virgin encounterIts good to know he's around when you needed him ! A wonderful place to dine when all ...
