team bsg writes: After some faked F1 overhead curves and downward spirals from the Federal Highway (as you enter Kuala Lumpur City from Petaling Jaya) , you will find this 25 year old stall in Kg Attap .Beside the slope and under a tree. Of course it is packed with the familiar looking lunch crowd, who are lining up for the nasi campur.Go get your seat if you are lucky ( without waiting ) and place your order with the busy waiter who looks like the captain. Show him the big camera and he will quickly get the big head ready.this RM3 drumstick is surprisingly good and you must ...

boo_licious writes: The Times London just published their top 50 food blog picks from all over the world. Some food blogs on the list are no surprise, as I have been reading them for ages but I did discover new ones that knocked me off my seat like Cannele et Vanille.

Both of them made it to the top 20 list.Today, just surf through these sites for divine inspiration and drool over their gorgeous pictures. I know I will be checking this list all the time.1.

ieat writes: Ayam Goreng with Tempra $7Ok, I admit it, I was one of thousands that have been mesmerized by the Little Nonya. Granted that Yue Niang is an attractive lady who is very easy on the eyes, but the scene that I remember most vividly was the one of Matriach Chen Lao Tai in ecstasy after taking a bite of the Rempah Udang. (Here's the clip if you don't know what I am talking about) Doesn't it just make you want to go and eat some Rempah Udang? Speaking of which, I am on a quest to find the best Rempah Udang in Singapore, so if you have any ...

bangsar-babe writes: The man of the house wanted to have dinner at Newton Food Centre, insisting that I MUST TRY the oh-chien. My two sisters who tried it last year (I didn't go with them) and proclaimed that it was very good. Step into the food centre and you will find many hawkers approaching you, touting for business. On a Saturday night, the place was crowded but we managed to find a table right in front of the oh-chien stall. We ordered the oh-chien (S$10) first, as sis went on and on ...

SimpleGirl writes: Tg. Tualang seafood, especially the fresh water prawns, a.k.a 大头虾 is not strange to Perakians. Tg Tualang is a small town near Batu Gajah, Perak. There are a few seafood restaurants in Tg Tualang. There is one which Ah Xian has visited before. However, personally, I preferred the one next to it, which is 聯芳, the corner restaurant. 聯芳 has been visited by Hong Kong famous chef and food critic, 食神滔滔. So, it's really up to individual to choose which restaurant you prefer, after all it's really very subjective when it comes to food tasting.The steam water prawnsNormally, eater will opt for the pan fry version ...

NKOTB writes: This restaurant is located in Ipoh Old Town (怡保舊街場), and how do you different Old Town or New Town in Ipoh then. Simple, just differentiate by Kinta River, across the other end that’s Old Town.

And it has now inherited by grandchildren.This place has featured in HoChak’s program also, Food Point of Interest has the short clips of ...
