keropok man writes: This was lunch last Sunday afternoon. We have always wanted to try the food in this place. With the open concept kitchen in front of the shop, showing off their Naan and Tandooris, it does tempt you. We have been tempted for almost a year! We usually only walk past here after lunch. *** When we got seated, we were assumed we wanted to try out the buffet. I guess that's the best way to try out the food here. The buffet display was right at the entrance. What a way to ...

Justin Daniel Pereira writes: I’ve always had this fascination with soba. Maybe its because of the noodle like nature, perhaps even the simplicity of tastes brought out crisply with a soak of light sauce and the occasional wasabi. The ones at Sakae Sushi were pretty decent and when served up with tempura as a Tenzaru Soba set meal, it is a beautiful contrast of textures and complementing tastes. Sakae Sushi have introduced a revolving menu concept called “Sakae Signature” for each ...

amiscell writes: Whenever I end up talking to people about food, the recurrent question is: "What Japanese restaurant do you recommend?" - "Where can I get good Italian?" - and so on...Every time I reflect on where I ate and what I should recommend. I thought it would be a good foodie's practice to record his favourites periodically and publish them every 3 months or so. The following are my favourites as of today.Japanese- Wahiro - Good value for money sushi, and great traditional, seasonal dishes- Goto - Best kaiseki- Matsuo - Best top end sushi- Shimbashi soba - Best sobaRamen- Keisuke - Great for seafood based broth...

550ml jar of faith writes: The recent company jaunt to Langkawi, while painfully condensed, somehow managed to uplift some heavily sodden spirits. It helped that we parked ourselves for most of the two days at the very agreeable Westin resort. Before I go on to... uh, showcase a sampling of the fine hotel food within, can I just say that the massages at the Heavenly Spa in the resort are phenomenal? Well worth the $$. Having rolled out of bed at 4AM to catch first flight out of LCCT, by the time lunch rolled around, I was practically tranquilized ...

Robyn Eckhardt writes: Last Thursday we made a foray to Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown to re-map a food walk**. It felt like our first visit in years. In some respects we've been away from KL. Beginning in late 2009 we started a routine of a month here, a month away, a month here, a month away. And so on. Last year was Dave's first freelancing full-time and right off the bat we pretty much took any job we could get. Wherever, whenever. A week in KL, 4 days somewhere else, home for a week, away for two more. And so on.By the end of 2009 we were exhausted. We ...

Glenn writes: It was not too long ago that I reviewed Casa Verde, so I thought it was fitting only to post my thoughts of another one of their restaurants in the same group. La Strada is their casual Italian outpost located right next to their French bistro-styled Bisto du Vin. Food aside, I quite like the decor of the restaurant – from the wooden flooring to the relatively large dining tables. I could be wrong here, but the decor presented itself in a rather semi-formal setting. But I always say, while the ambience is important, the company and the food ...

Lyrical Lemongrass writes: Five generations My brothers and I are products of inter-cultural love stories that have spanned several generations.  While our identity cards insist that we are Indians, the reality is that our blood runs thick with a multitude of Malayan colours.  My mother’s forefathers sought their fortune in this land a long time ago, before the flash of immigration in the last century, while my father’s roots, two generations before his, were set in India. My brothers and I are a product of an inter-cultural love story in the nineteen sixties.  He was a patient in a hospital in Perak, and she, the nurse.  They fell in ...
