fried chicken

boo_licious writes: Nasi LemakContinuing my Petaling Jaya trail of great food is this particular mamak stall. Located at Restaurant Sun Fatt Kee, just across from Seapark market, business here starts when night falls. They share the premises with a bak kut teh stall and during the day, you can get excellent Teochew porridge here with fried clams, assam fish and etc. Seems they're well known among PJ-ites and is also known as the "Maybank mamak", since they're right in front of the bank.Famous Fried ChickenTables and chairs will be set up around the shop and even outside on the side of the road. Every night it is super ... read more


Day 1 : 40km northwest of Yogyakarta

Malaysia

teckiee writes: The engine wouldn't start! The flight was 35 minutes behind schedule but we still got on the plane. Something to do with the batteries we were all told. Landed at the Surakarta (Solo) airport 10 minutes early despite the delay. The plane was going at 800km per hour.First think we thought of was lunch! We have arranged for a driver from our hotel to pick us up from the airport, so it was easy to ask him to make a detour for lunch. WE were brought to a Japanese Shabu-shabu restorant at first ...*heh* But I asked him to bring us to some where that served Javanese dishes. So, we ended ... read more

Fresh Salad
babe_kl writes: 29 December 2007The 4th day brought the same old routine with the exception of about 45 mins of yoga before my breakfast. I had to stop cos my boiboi woke up and started "pressing button" on my body to test which "button" he presses will make me tumbling down whilst I pose plus he was laughing at me too *roll eyes*Today, I only had some papaya and watermelon plus the detox drink for breakfast. I had forgotten about having yoghurt.Oh dear, now I knew why I might be having a major sore throat... after reading the product label. It seems that this drink had loads of vitamins and minerals added to it. Darn!!! ... read more


boo_licious writes: The famous char kuey teowThere has been a lot of write up with regards to this famous Char Kuey Teow. A recent one at the NST prompted me to go search for it and I discovered all the stalls, which were at Restoran Subang Ria has shifted to Restoran Jamal Mohamed, the corner shop right at the other end. Rumours are flitting the reason why they moved is because the owner wanted to open his own stores. I guess you can't fool the locals as this place is now packed while the other restaurant is basically "catching flies".Nasi Lemak stallBeing a first timer, I was skeptical ... read more

Pretty Pui was right. It is not human nature to keep secrets. As Sam and I toiled on the floral arrangements for the party that afternoon (a pre-wedding party of sorts and a bon voyage party to a certain extent), someone out there, in all naivety, was spilling the beans to Pretty Pui. SIGH. My Elephant, a Thai restaurant in the middle of a residential area in Section 17, ... read more


Review: Kopitiam Tradisional

Malaysia

KT - deep fried drumstick rice
babe_kl writes: Sorry for the long long silence. Been bogged down with work, lots of them with a very tight deadline. So this will be a short and brief post to keep me and this blog going. One rainy nite, hubby and I got to Leisure Mall for dinner in order not to get drenched. Walked around, no idea what to have so we ended up in a place called Kopitiam Traditional. Yeah the name is just Kopitiam with a TM behind it but how to trademark “kopitiam”?? Anyway, glanced thru the menu and we ordered our food. Since this happened some time back, I can’t really recall what we have ordered and the prices but rest assured it’s very reasonable. I think hubby had ... read more


restaurant
vkeong writes: Let’s talk about customer rights. Looking back at one of the comments I received, a reader expressed her concern towards the services offered by Ingolf’s Kneipe. So it prompted me to ask, what do you do as a customer if you were given crappy services or lousy food? This post comes from my own experience. 2 weeks ago my friend recommended me a Western food restaurant, it was just a few minutes’ walk from my apartment. Because it was recommended, I had fairly high expectations. At first glance, everything was supposed to be perfect.. the ambiance was nice, foods are fairly priced and the waiter ... read more


boo_licious writes: Gado Gado (RM5.90)Despite eating Indonesian food all the time, I just don't get sick of it since it is a favourite of mine. Hence when a friend, S mentioned this place at the Curve, I knew it was my first stop during the weekend. Newly opened in November, this place is near to the upstairs bridge which connects Ikano Power Centre to The Curve.Empal Penyet (RM7.90) Although the food is Indonesian in nature, the restaurant is actually a branch of their flagship Singapore restaurant at Lucky Plaza. Food was so good the day we did a quick snack test hence we went back again the next ... read more

Fish Head Curry , KL

Malaysia

team bsg writes: Setapak at the N/E tip of Kuala Lumpur ( beside Gombak ) holds sentimental memories for at least 2 of us who studied at nearby College Tunku Abdul Rahman . Then meals as a student were kinda simple and usually of the economy rice type ! There are many good traditional Chinese restaurants here but none of particular mention , although there is one famous beggar chicken near the Natonal Zoo ( wonder if its still there ? ). But we will always remember this Chinese restaurant along Jln Angsana ( Taman Furlong ). this decades old picture on the wall welcomes youWhile the two of ... read more
