Dessert

Durian Puffs
Lyrical Lemongrass writes: I don’t get it.  Why does a man have to watch practically all EPL games even if he’s just supporting one team (Liverpool FC)?  I had the misfortune of being forced to watch the Man Utd vs Arsenal game last night (we have just one TV, you see, and the internet was bonkers as usual), and I think that will probably be the last time that he’ll ever ask me to watch a game. It was already the second half when we turned on the TV after coming back from the Celine Dion concert. “I don’t think Cristiano Ronaldo’s that cute.” “Well, he’s the number one pin-up boy for the gay community,” he responded with a deadpan look. Several minutes later….... read more


boo_licious writes: Reunion appetizerBusy! Busy! Busy! Sorry but the blog has been sadly ignored these few days...Nevertheless the eating still continues though. My uncle and his family are down from Hong Kong and China these few days for Ching Ming. We did the deed yesterday - easy and painless as there were no crowds of people jostling for space in the cemetery. Am amazed at how clean the Hokkien cemetery looks now. Almost could not recognise it.Chicken herbal soupWe had this last night, since we didn't want to travel too far. My first time trying out the food from Reunion's menu. I love the mirrors, sheer curtains ... read more


real fish in a rice shop

Malaysia

team bsg writes: Malay cuisine is straight to the point and follows the maxim WYSWYG to the hilt. In fact it is the most popular food in Malaysia , all things considered. For one , the majority of the local population makes a beeline for this kind of ubiquitious offering , in Megamalls , outside apartment complexes , Government Buildings , residential estates and ....yes the backStreets.The crowd below is a pretty common sight in Malaysia , with hungry customers looking lovingly down , ogling and feebly trying to resist the multiple tempting charms. Why ! It does take an extra strong spirit to overcome the delicious array of stunning colors and fragrant ( pungent ? ) aromas, no ?... read more

Fukuya, One Bangsar

Malaysia

Lyrical Lemongrass writes: 1. Turning on my computer at home is like being in a new relationship.  “Will I get lucky tonight?” sums it all up.  And right now, it looks like my hymen is going to stay intact for a while longer. The recent elections has taught us one thing - more power to the people.   With flexed muscles, bulging biceps and a boost of foolhardy egocentric power, I now propose a vote against my broadband service provider.  I apologize for the lack of updates.  Blame it on them.  I’ll be glad to give you their number.  I hope you like elevator music. 2.  When I travel, I rarely buy souvenirs for myself.  ... read more


Dragon-I Restaurant @ Queensbay

Malaysia

Steamed Meat Dumpling
vkeong writes: I’ve been longing to try Dragon-I but have been put off by the expensive price of the food. It was not until I received my second Advertlets payout then only I decided to dine in Queensbay’s Dragon-I. Seriously, Dragon-I has a very good marketing strategy. They put up a glass before the entrance at all restaurants where you can see the chefs prepare noodles and meat dumplings. It always draws passer-bys and I am always one of them. So, kinda happy that I get to fulfill my curiosity finally. And the meal can be considered free because of the extra money, lol. Steamed meat dumplings (siu ... read more


Zing, Grand Millennium Kuala Lumpur

Malaysia

Zing
Lyrical Lemongrass writes: The ads for the Heart of KL were appearing in the newspapers on a very frequent basis, and frankly, they were more exciting that the skewed local news I had begun to flip over by the pile.  My husband, being the more diligent and patient reader (I read headlines in my quest to finish reading the newspapers within 59 minutes), spotted the ad for Zing and its visiting celebrity chef, Chan Kwok, from Singapore’s Hua Tin restaurant.  Chef Chan Kwok is described as “the winner of numerous awards including Best Asian Ethnic Chef at the 2005 World Gourmet Summit. He is also author of the recently released book ‘Chan Kwok - A ... read more


boo_licious writes: One of my favourite places to dine at the moment, at the Gardens, is this little place next to Isetan, serving good food and yummy desserts. I love the clean look of this place - especially the green sofas (currently my fav colour) and the repainting of kopitiam chairs and tables to a soothing green and pastel blue.Mushroom and 3 Cheese Melt on Toasted Multigrain (RM18)Food served here is fresh with an emphasis on natural and organic ingredients. I especially love their desserts as, they use real butter and unbleached organic flour. Makes a difference in taste. Crispy Duck Salad with Pear ... read more


Review: Shin Kee Beef Noodles Specialist

Malaysia

Shin Kee - beef noodles
babe_kl writes: Whilst I was busy at my client's some months back, I took the opportunity to get down to Chinatown (Petaling Street) area to soak up the atmosphere during lunch or after office hours. I like to work in this part of the city as the food choices are endless! Ranging from chicken rice, wantan noodles, chee cheung fun, yong tau foo, claypot loh shue fun and siew yuk noodles, exotic food, fabulous curry laksa, and not forgetting the happy happy pastries for dessert or snack.Other than Soong Kee, I also like the beef noodles at Shin Kee Beef Noodles Specialist at Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock opposite ... read more


The Tree of Life (Part 2)

Malaysia

Sagu_34
Robyn Eckhardt writes: So, you've chopped down a fifteen-year-old sago palm, scraped out its insides, bathed them in water and kneaded and squeezed them dry, collected the starch from the bottom of your processing vessel, crammed it into waist-high cones you made from the base of the palm's leaves, left it to drain for a few days, and ended up with more sago flour than you'll ever eat in a year. What to do with it? If you're in Banza Barangay,Mindanao (Philippines), you might cook up some sago flatcakes called tumpi. You'd begin by heating some sago flour - which is sometimes white and sometimes brick red and sometimes a shade in between - in a dry skillet ... read more
