team bsg writes: Bangsar , Telawi ( KL ) used to be every young ( & old ) cool pubbers classiest romping haven once upon a time. Well we still do the occassional chillout here especially now that Malaysia is in the deep throes of the beginning of the inevitable winds of change for the better or for worse...the spiralling RM 15, 000 a month rents on the ground floor not surprisingly leaving a terrible trail of destruction with the classic "for rent" expired signs hanging on for dear life. Except for this Japanese talkative fella still holding on with the cigars.Welcome to the Talk , Bangsar ! ... read more

boo_licious writes: Petai aka stink beansLast Sunday, we finally managed to make it down to the Shah Alam stadium's morning market. I have been dying to go look at the place for quite some time but due to work commitments, it has been placed in the back burner.Beautiful purple brinjals or auberginesThe place is pretty happening with a Pasar Tani (a kind of farmers market) with lots of local produce, food stalls and stalls selling second hand items. It is advisable to come early as it can get packed in the later part of the morning. Luckily, we reached here nice and early.Kundang... read more

Robyn Eckhardt writes: Or, in Butuan City, from shoulder to spoon. The waters around Mindanao yield seafood the likes of which we've not seen before. Butuan City isn't a major fishing port, but it's located just two hours from Surigao City, which sees its fare share of good catch, and less than half a day's drive from General Santos (or Gensan, as it's usually called), a major exporter of blue fin tuna, many of which end up on the auction floor at Tokyo's Tsukiji Market. We traveled to Mindanao to eat seafood, in as much quantity and variety as we could. The minute we ... read more

boo_licious writes: Sushi Dokoro MaeshimaThis year round, we decided to celebrate Valentine's Day a bit later i.e the day after. I'm not a fan for the commercially over-priced set meals during the "day of romance" and prefer, if the money was better spent on great food instead.Two fat oysters to savourWe took a gamble on this place, which came highly recommended. A real hole in the wall restaurant, it is how I like my Japanese restaurants to be - tiny, smoky, no frills, with tatami rooms and most importantly full of Japanese customers. My belief when it comes to any cuisine, it must be good enough for the ... read more

team bsg writes: The Japanese are master adapters and infact changed their thousands of years new year celebrations from the Lunar ( as for Chinese ) to the Catholic version ( Western ) sometime during the Meiji period about a hundred odd years ago.They now make everything from watches to automobiles etc etc etc which can be one or many classes ahead of their American/European masters !Chinese noodles too have been transformed into this Ramen (ラーメン or 拉麺 , noodles soup with some meats ) which have also been cleverly refined in some versions for eg that is known as udon .The right place right mood ... read more

babe_kl writes: LOL... sure would have captured your attention eh with that kind of title?? Actually it was just a simple dinner at the new errrmmm Asian food section at The Gardens but I thot the title was kinda appropriate when we practically shared a bowl of noodles, a piece of chicken, and dessert, well except for the drink last night. Seems like another mall crawl to me too hehe.I got the lead to check out sbread from Jocelyn who dropped me a mail yesterday informing of this place she had tried it in Bangkok serving a unique yam kaya (a type of coconut jam). Her description made my mouth waters that I decided to check it out ... read more

vkeong writes: Sake Room is a fusion restaurant in Seberang Jaya recommended by Mabel Lai for good sushi. As always I would try out my readers’ recommendations whenever possible and blog about it. If you didn’t know, fusion cuisine is a combination of different forms of cookery or traditions. It can be of a combination of Chinese and Japanese cuisine or Western and Vietnamese cuisine. The possible combinations are totally up to the chef’s creativity and culinary skill. So, there’s more than just Japanese food being offered in Sake Room. But who would pay RM16 to try a plate of Chinese fried rice right? That’s pretty crazy lol. Ordering ... read more

vkeong writes: Heng Seng Coffeeshop located along Jalan Kaptian Keling (formerly known as Pitt Street) sells very nice fish ball soup. You must be thinking what’s so special about fish ball soup? The answer is the ingredient used to make the fish balls - eel. Also, Heng Seng produces the fish balls themselves. Anyway if you are sushi lover you will know eel is also known as unagi in Japanese. I came to know this eel fish ball noodle last year during the Chinese New Year street festival held in the area. At that time I didn’t get to try it because there were too ... read more

Lyrical Lemongrass writes: We all have certain food preferences, but sometimes, it is necessary to get out of our comfort zone and look beyond our malay-chinese-indian mindset to see what’s available out there.  And I’m not talking about Japanese which is practically Malaysian. Let me tell you my story.  A long time ago, a certain blogger (let’s call him the Verbose Stud) dropped me a proposition.   An escapade, no less.  Before you taint your mind with mental illusions and delusions, let me qualify this by saying that it was to be a culinary escapade.  To cut a long ... read more

boo_licious writes: Oyster on iceI first caught wind of the Latest Recipe, Le Meridien Hotel's new cafe at last year's Food Bloggers gathering from Riz of Fried Chillies fame. Oozing praises for the new concept, he made it sound so tempting, I wanted to abandon the gathering and bolt straight away for the cafe. The magic word, he kept repeating was "Teppanyaki Ice Cream". Hold on, my brain was working out, "one can't fry ice cream on a teppan since it will melt right???"Prawns My curiosity was piqued hence, when I received an invitation to dine with Paprika, Lyrical Lemongrass and Cheryl Lum (thanks so much, ... read more
