Dessert

Hui Lao Shan , Tsim Sha Tsui Hong Kong

Malaysia

Tummythoz writes: My favourite dessert in Hong Kong .. todate (since last trip). Simple stuff which is available locally BUT still seems to taste so much better there. One, Hak-Chi-Ma-Tongyuen aka Glutinous Rice Ball Filled With Thick Black Sesame Paste within. Look somewhat like this. Unbelievably so but I kept forgetting to take pictures although been visiting a particular shop at Tsim Tsa Tsui. *Bow head in read more

Lyrical Lemongrass writes: “Welcome back,” he said. It was a Saturday evening, and I was chuckling to myself when his words interrupted my reverie. “Whatever for?” I asked. “You’re back.” He smiled. “So we’re going to Prime to celebrate.” “Back? I never went anywhere.” I looked hard for the bump on his head where he would have knocked his head on the cangkul. “I thought I had lost you this past week.  You were turning into a grumpy little thing and your language had become quite colourful,” he said. He was right.  I had turned into a grouch. A grumpy cynical grouch. It ... read more


boo_licious writes: Kaya with Bamboo Charcoal ToastLast weekend, it was retail therapy at the mall - kinda didn't help that the stores are all on sale. Anyway, I reckon I'm doing my part in boosting the economy. Who knows but I probably had a hand in the record breaking growth rate, they recently announced.

Sushi, Big Apple Donuts & Coffee, Shihlin Taiwan Snacks, I Love Yoo!, Jonker Street Desserts, Rak Thai and etc.Peanut butter sesame toastWe were fascinated with the ... read more

Caramelized Pork with Spaghetti Omelet

Malaysia

teckiee writes: When I read BBO's pasta challenge, I knew I had to find time out of the crazy geek's schedule contest. (hahaha macam election pulak ;p) The challenge is (the challenge is still on going, quick, you still have time to submit your entries!) to make something fusion with spaghetti, San Remo's to be specific.Anyway, after thinking of the challenge on the LRT to and from work for the whole week, I finally decided on the recipe.

Never, Ever Live Next to a Bakery

Malaysia

Sansrival_2
Robyn Eckhardt writes: That nugget of wisdom popped into my head a couple of weeks ago in Butuan City, as I sat patting my mid-section after all but licking the plate on which had sat, just a minute ago, a slice of sans rival. Granted, it had been a week of non-stop eating (details to come). But it was really the sans rival that led me to the edge of the cliff and pushed me over. Our host, you see, lives next to his sister Margie's bakery. Nearly every meal closed with a parade, literally from the bakery's door to his, of wickedly delicious cakes, cookies, pastries. Sometimes a new batch would appear on the table just ... read more


Manhattan Fishmarket

Malaysia

teckiee writes: The only thing to look forward to before any project implementation on a week night is dinner. I always like make sure that I have a good one before stressing out with work. The problem is... sometimes I just don't know what to eat anymore. I can't drive out for dinner because the jam will just kill me and kill way too much time. In the end I always find myself back in Suria KLCC, walking back and forth, calculating the money in my pocket, then deciding what I can eat that is still within my budget.Since me and my colleague had way too much of Peri-peri chicken, we decided to go for ... read more


boo_licious writes: Wagyu Beef PieStrangely enough when I first encountered the food at D'lish, I wasn't very impressed. However, after a few times of trying more menu items, I slowly discovered yummy stuff there. For us, we tend to dine here, when we want something quick especially before some grocery shopping at Village Grocer. It's also a relatively quiet here vs the more happening Delicious at Bangsar Village II. You select pre-packed items behind the glass counter and they will reheat it up. Alternatively, you can pack back the items.Wagyu Beef Pie RevealedVarious opinions about this place - some love it while others hate it calling it not worth ... read more
