I loved being alone, I loved being anti social, I love being misunderstood, I love spending all night reading a book which I don't even understand.But as time passes, one grows older, and change. The experience and environment changes and mutates me. The tadpole grows legs. The caterpillar turns into one ball of white. And Teckiee grows an extra stomach. (OK la, its more like metamorphosis for the frogs and butterflies but you get what I mean la right?) I can't stand not taking about stuff anymore. Keeping all the ARGH #%^&(**& 9767 STRESSSSSSS dissapointments and emotions all in me just takes up way too much ... read more

Robyn Eckhardt writes: What fun is getting from point A to location B if it's done on an empty stomach? No fun at all, say Malaysians, who view a road trip as an opportunity, or an excuse, or both, to engage in four-wheeled sport eating. According to Malaysian logic driving two hours from Kuala Lumpur to Ipoh just to eat lunch might make sense ... but it makes more sense to add an extra hour to the journey, divert off the north-south expressway onto the old two-lane trunk road, and stop along the way for a meal-sized snack. We're not quite that hard-core - yet - but we are willing to drive for ... read more

team bsg writes: For the adventurous and non-fussy eaters (that must be team BSG ) , Cowboy Town Rawang some 35 minutes countryside drive from Kuala Lumpur offers some exciting fillers, of the ancient Chinaman shoplot kind.There is a great variety of produce , from the forests , seas, lakes and farms. We sometimes catch some wannaBs ( no ! not team BSG ) foul mouth Golfers from the 4 nearby elite Golf Clubs fresh from their holed illicit 'winnings' indulging in some legitimate mega pot drunken prawns and obscene frogs, over extralong tiresome tales of the loose holes that got away.Though of course there are other smaller quick draws for the casual passers ... 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: At the end of last year in the Philippines, we were treated to lechon. The pigs, two of them, were brought to the house the night before they were to be roasted. They were killed before dawn on a concrete slab overlooking a field behind an old granary thirty feet from our bedroom window. In bed, Dave heard squeals right before the pigs met their end. It was quick, he said, just a burst of noise and then nothing. I'm glad I slept through it. I'd planned to wake in time to see them prepared for the roasting pit. The food journalist in me was determined to watch the whole process - the killing, the ... read more

teckiee writes: This was sold just out front of out guest house. Crowded on Day 2. Crowded on Day 3. I eat on Day 4. Red rice (2,000 Dong)! That dark seed is from a red fruit that produce to dye for this rice. I have no idea what fruit is used to get the red color. The rice smelt a little different, but different good. Tasted good with the salty chicken floss.After the quick breakfast, we headed hours out of Hanoi to the jetty that will get us to the Perfume Pagoda. I sat in front of the row boat. It was an hour boat ride to reach the foot hill ... read more

Lyrical Lemongrass writes: When I first saw The HSS’ pictures of Latest Recipe, I cursed.  No, no, it wasn’t an imaginary curse.  I sent him an SMS with some colourful language.  Firstly, I was jealous of his pictures, and secondly, I wasn’t there.  (Commercial break:  This dude takes FABULOUS pictures.  I have an altar for him in my garden where my pet frog, Tom, lives.  Tom worships him too.  End of commercial.)  So when I received an invitation to dine at Latest Recipe, I didn’t give two hoots whether The HSS was invited.  I was going, baby, and I was going to taste some of that gorgeous psychedelic teppanyaki ice cream which ... read more

teckiee writes: I went to the reptile exhibition in One Utama recently after hearing about it over the radio and then watching some really sleak snakes on the 8TV quickie. I was camera ready and didn't waste any chance taking pictures. When I posted this on my FaceBook album, Paprika thought this was durian! LOL! If I'm going to get an albino Burmese python next time, I'll name it Durian. Did you know that a baby Ball Python is only about RM300 with the license? The license can be renewed every year until you decide that the little fellow is not that little anymore and you decided to skin it to make a nice looking belt. You can then ... read more

teckiee writes: One of my colleagues brought me here to celebrate his 10th anniversary working in the company. It's not some where near work, so we all drove to Restaurant Sai Gong in 63 Jalan 1/62D, Medan Putra Business Center in Bandar Menjelara Kepong after work. It didn't take me long to locate the place because the restaurant is in the same area where The Bird is. (Bookings can be made by calling 016-6000655)The dishes I try were just awesome so I just had to bring my family here to try. I keep ranting how great the food is until my sis had to shut me up LOL! ... read more
