And this is what we had for our second lunch on Monday. According to our local guide Fern it's the city's best grilled pig (an opinion seconded by our fellow eater, a pretty fervent pork fan herself). Our porky feast was cooked up by a mother-daughter team (spitting images of each other, don't you think?) on the stretch of Muang Samut Road just south of Dalat Kamthieng, the city's large plant and flower market. They're there Sunday through Saturday (mom occasionally takes a day off -- "When I feel tired") ...

Service was friendly. The staff always had a smile on their face. In less than a week, I noticed some improvement in their coffee and food. The cappuccino shakerato (RM9.50) ...

I know it’s under the same management of The Prime Society at Dempsey, but for some reason I never visited. Most of the restaurants at One Fullerton can be costly, that’s why the first thing that struck me when I saw Society Bar’s menu – was the affordability of the food. Society Bar is a bistro version of The Prime Society. There’s no premium meats of course, most of the mains are priced below $20. The food is not spectacular, but I think it’s affordable considering the excellent location ...
allie writes: When I said ‘Lor Mee‘, I guess you’d imagine thick gravy with some herbs and spices taste bowl of noodle. Today I’d like to write about a special bowl of lor mee. You can get this ’special lor mee’ at Kafe Fountain which is located along Carnarvon Street. The gravy for this special lor mee is much thicker than the normal lor mee. This lor mee is stir fried together with the thick gravy. Yes, you do read correctly. Stir Fried. That’s why I call it ‘special lor mee‘. This lor mee tasted like shark fin soup. It must be due to the vinegar added ...

myfoodsirens writes: Do you know that Orchard Towers is also known as “Four Floors of Whores”? Hah, I didn’t know until I google it just now. Check out what Wikipedia says: ”Rather than acting as a group of conventional brothels, Orchard Towers serves as an establishment where clients are able to meet and pick up prostitutes.” Okay, I’ve learnt something new today! Before you think I’m promoting Orchard Towers for guys out there, let me clarify that I was there for lunch, nothing else! During the day, it’s like any other mall along Orchard Road, only more rundown and neglected than most. Definitely an unlikely location for an European bistro, but there it is, L’Artisan Bistro, just besides a massage parlour....

Malaysia © qwazymonkey (http://alilfatmonkey.blogspot.com)qwazymonkey writes: Today marks the 30-plus birthday of my dear friend Chiselstone. This year we celebrated his birthday earlier, in conjunction with the celebration of his newly renovated kitchen. Call it a kitchen-warming party if you must. And as such, I offered my fiery stove-heating skills for the grand occasion. This take-home-chef was back at work again. Since it was the last few days of Chinese New Year, we (or rather I) decided that we should have a good ol' home-cooked Chinese meal. The menu consisted of every ...

Malaysia © boo_licious (http://masak-masak.blogspot.com/)boo_licious writes: sinfulness on a plateI reckon I'm biased or it just could be the Chinese in me but honestly don't you think one of the best ever ways to enjoy porcine delights is in the form of roast pork topped with crispy crackling??delicious stuff There's something so deliciously sinful about roast pork. For some it is the layers of meat interspersed with fatty chunks while others go wild for the crunchy golden brown skin that top each chunky slice. To me, the best is when all those factors combine to ...

Two years ago, I was fascinated by the wonders of food blogs on the Net. Seeking for a good restaurant (or avoiding a bad one) was at the tip of one’s finger. Or rather … at the click of a mouse. I still remember vividly, how I was deeply engrossed by the articulate writings of [...]
