Wilson Ng writes: Cherating Turtle Sanctuary Visit Our stay in Cherating last year gave us opportunities to visit places in Chukai and Cherating like the Cherating Turtle Sanctuary. Going to Cherating Turtle Sanctuary is a must in Cherating. After enjoying the sandy white beaches of Cherating, the turtle sanctuary is located within the hotel areas of the main road of Cherating. There are lots of road signs showing the direction to the turtle sanctuary. We followed the signs and found the sanctuary. In fact, the Cherating Turtle Sanctuary is actually located quite near to the Cherating Club Med.  Just a few steps away. The sanctuary is a traditional Malay house design. Well, we seen lots of turtles on TV, ...

C.Y. writes: *Note to Readers: This review is from my frequent guest author, CY. I’m quite a fan of Cze Char because to me, its these places where you will find great food at prices your wallet can endure.  Recently, a group of my friends went over to Melben Seafood at Toa Payoh.  Melben has 2 outlets in Singapore, one at Toa Payoh and the other at Ang Mo Kio. Melben specializes in seafood, crab in articular. They have many methods of preparation; literally, you will be spoiled for choice! What I like of Melben is the manner in which they price their crabs. Unlike your run-of-the-mill Cze Czar outlet, you are not charged by how ...

myfoodsirens writes: Brunch (breakfast + lunch) easily turned into tunch (lunch + high tea) as we ate, talked and laughed at Private Affairs. I didn’t expect to spend more than 4 hours there but we did! Amazing how time flies when food is involved. Sunshine Brunch (11.30 to 3.30pm) takes the form of a semi-ala carte buffet with a single order of main course and unlimited flow of appetisers and desserts. Prices start from $68++/$30++ per adult/child below 12. Add $50++ for free flow of house sparkling, red and white wine or $15++ for free flow of juices and soft drinks. Brunch started with a lovely 3 tier afternoon tea stand of sunny essentials. Though nothing extraordinary, I ...

jamie writes: I am very health conscious and thus do not like deep fried oily food. I have actually passed by this fast food counter many times but the name '老油鬼鬼' gave me the impression that they serve all the oily stuffs so I have never bothered to check out their menu all these while. However after having walked for hours in 1Utama and felt that we need to sit down to rest our poor feet and have a light snack, we chanced to pass by '老油鬼鬼 I Love YOO!' and the menu of Set B offering You Tiao and Soya Bean @ RM3.90 caught my eye. I love soy milk and after checking out their you tiao which does not look ...

bangsar-babe writes: Growing up, the playground at Jalan Bangkung used to be my turf. Around my area, the neighbours had older children (10-15years older) so my siblings and I had no one to play with. The playground was the best thing there at that time. Then along the row of shops, there was a 7-11 where we discovered slurpee. And Tea for Two, where my dad would order me fish and chips, and I’d sit quietly at a corner while he had his business meeting (I’m easily bribed with food). ...

CO and XO writes: 9600 miles from home,what is the best way to lift one's mood ? Good food of course! Philadelphia locals swear that you can only find the authentic cheese steak only in Philadelphia. My other friend insists that the Philly cheesesteak is only authentic with Reese cheese. At a price of 7.95 USD, the uniqueness of the Philly cheesesteak comes from the heavenly concoction of the meat juice from the beef, the reese cheese as well as ...

Robyn Eckhardt writes: Memorable food in unexpected locations -- this is something that Thailand seems to specialize in. Stalls by the side of the highway or tucked in the bowels of a market, dull looking shops with dour-faced staff, restaurants that appear to entertain rarely more than a table of customers at a time -- here, all of these are potential sources of darned good dining.Case in point: Khao Soi Mae Jam Bpaa, an out-of-the-way (but not unreachable, from the city) spot off Chiang Mai's Mahidon Road. We stopped here nine days ago on the way out of town with friends. The taxi driver turned off an ...

Lyrical Lemongrass writes: Last Friday, I experienced my first emotional breakdown in ages when I was caught in a traffic jam heading towards the KL Convention Centre for Babyface’s concert. After sitting in the car for 2 1/2 hours in KL’s rush hour traffic, the air conditioner in my car suddenly stopped working. Things went downhill from there. Unable to wind down my window in the Smart Tunnel, I persevered in the heat, sweat dripping down my back, and my body feverish from a bout of flu. Within minutes, a loud clanging sound emanated from the engine. I panicked. Don’t ...
