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

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

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

Robyn Eckhardt writes: For many food-obsessed travelers to Vietnam the Holy Grail is a fantastic pho. Which is a shame, really, because in the course of a single-minded quest for the ultimate version of this northern Vietnamese soup noodle many equally worthy noodle dishes are bound to be overlooked. Bun oc (snail and rice noodle soup), for instance, consistently flies under the foreign chowhound's radar. Yet this combination of thin rice noodles with one or another member of the molluscan class of Gastropoda in flavorful broth - also a specialty of the north - is brilliant, easily as delicious as the finest bowl of pho. It certainly was a favorite of a certain formerly Vietnam-based blogger. ... 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

vkeong writes: On the way to Kek Lok Si to photograph the beautiful lanterns displayed in the temple during Chinese New Year, Siang Leng and I stopped at Asia Cafe for dinner. I blogged about this rather classy hawker centre before and it has been a year since my last visit. I noticed the oyster noodle stall is not there anymore. A pity because the oyster noodle quite good. We were undecided on what to eat as the foods there don’t seem appealing.. At last we chose to order from Hainan Lou Western Food. Hainan Lou Western Food has many types of Western food ... 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: On Saturday, I managed to catch this amazing movie called The Waitress. Perfect for foodies, it has Jenna, the waitress making these delicious pies, which she names based on her situations and moods. They have weird combinations, but tastes utterly great, based on all the ooh and aahs from her fans in the diner she works at. A Sundance Festival 2007 pick, this movie became a hit in the USA. It is also a bit poignant as the screenwriter and director, Adrienne Shelley was murdered just before the movie's release.I can't believe the election results pie I got into a pie mood, and decided to ... read more

teckiee writes: It's time again. A week of secondary. And an annoying week of primary 24 hours, 7 days a week on-call support. The standard life of anyone in the IT support line. My last dinner before jail time was fish head noodles with UnkaLeong. *Lucky lucky* because I will be skipping the noodle makan'ing session coming Sunday (jail time ma).I have no idea how to get to this place, but it's along Jalan Raja Laut, turn left at the junction opposite of the PAS (yes, the political party) building. Ong Lai is on the left, BSG (back street) style. When I took a sip of ... read more

Lyrical Lemongrass writes: 1.  Beep.  Beep.  “Please call home when u are free.”  When dad sends this text message to my mobilephone, his request could range from “Your mum is in the hospital, so if you are free, please visit” to “Can you buy us plane tickets to London” to “Are you coming over for dinner this weekend?”.  The urgency may differ for each request, but his text message is always the same.  I think he has it saved on his mobilephone. Fearing the worst, I called. Me:  What’s up, dad? Dad:  Have you heard of Boer goat meat? (Note:  This conversation takes place in the middle of my rush period when I’m desperately trying to finalise a report.) Me:  Huh?? Dad:  You haven’t been reading the ... read more
