Book of Sins by Bernice Chauly
Lyrical Lemongrass writes: 1. “Are you the type who likes surprises”, he asked on Facebook. 2. The best type of surprise. When someone pays attention to what you said in an earlier conversation on Tagore and Murakami and the silken liquid voice of Bernice Chauly. And he even got it autographed for me. I can’t contain my pleasure. It’s not always about food. 3. We are lunchtime alcoholics. 4. We share delectable gossip at a table converted from an old sewing machine. It is almost ... read more


Taman Indah Balakong Pan Meen
babe_kl writes: **Non-Halal**Last Friday, hubby and I were not working. However, we both woke up early to go for a walk. Aduiii he took me to this private land wayyyyy inside Bandar Sg Long and climb the hill backing Ulu Langat! I was cursing and swearing as I was totally not fit for the steep climb plus it's so embarrassing to have old folks over taking me!!! After huffing and puffing our way up and down, we got down to the foothill around 8am. I was famished but luckily my legs didn't buckled.On our way back, I got him to bring me to Balakong (the pekan side) for pan meen (board noodles). I only ... read more

A Fine Fritter

Malaysia

Robyn Eckhardt writes: 'Robyn!' Amy puts her hands on her hips and fake-frowns at me. 'Why'd you come so late!?' Amy works for Pak Din, who mans the grill at his stall in the Lake Gardens. When it comes to ikan bakar (barbecued fish) Pak Din has few peers. Arrive after lunch and you'll find slim fish pickings; his stall's daily array of delicious curries, sambals, and vegetables is also likely to be depleted. Which explains Amy's consternation when we stroll in at 2:45p. But this day we've come not for ikan bakar, but for another, less widely known Pak Din specialty: corn fritters. They're available weekday afternoons only, for just one hour. I've had the ... read more


Mega Mac Anyone???

Malaysia

babe_kl writes: We first saw the Big Mac Chant and Mega Mac advert on the morning of 1st May. Hubby just couldn't resist trying the Mega Mac and off we went to check it out for lunch. The Mega Mac is TALL with 4 beef patties instead of the usual 2 for Big Mac. I didn't taste it since it's just Big Mac anyway with extra patties. I doubt I could even finish half...Hubby did all his might to compact the Mega Mac so that he can stuff it inside his mouth. All I know was it was darn messy with the lettuces kept falling ... read more


boo_licious writes: The sign which points the way to great steaksSince it was Splashie Boy's birthday on Friday, we did the celebrations during the weekend. I had to work on Friday night - loads of good Chinese food but unfortunately I couldn't bring him along.Starting out with deep fried prawn and codAs Splashie Boy is a huge bovine fan, I knew it had to be Wagyu or Kobe beef for him. Since it was all about steaks, we decided to venture into a steakhouse vs a fine dining restaurant. I had heard good things about Angus Steakhouse at Pavilion and decided we'll just give ... read more


Dain Ti Hill

Malaysia

teckiee writes: It was a Saturday afternoon we my cousin and I ended up in Pavilion KL for lunch. My cousin mentioned something about a famous Taiwanese restaurant, and I on the other hand wanted to eat at a restaurant that I have passed by way too many times. Coincidently, we were referring to the same place.Dain Ti Hill on the 6th floor, right beside Wong Kok Char Chan Teng. Oat Milk Tea (RM10). Tasted like normal 'teh si ping'. I can't really taste any oat in that milk. The oat grain on top was soft and soaked in milk after a few sip of the milk. Nothing ... read more


Review: Sin Lok Restaurant

Malaysia

SL - Sin Lok Restaurant
babe_kl writes: **Non-Halal**Sin Lok Restaurant is amongst the older generation of Chinese restaurant in Kuala Lumpur. It is located in Kuala Lumpur's first shopping complex - Ampang Park! One of our manager used to bring our client nearby Ampang Park to Sin Lok for lunch. If I'm around for meetings, I will get to go too hehehe... Their dishes are very much old school and by far I can vouch that they serve the best roasted suckling pig in town! I guess the reason being that they will only roast it before serving even during huge wedding banquet!... read more


Review: Restaurant Wong Fook Kee

Malaysia

WFK - Duck and harm choy soup
babe_kl writes: On the day I posted up the Harm Choy Tong (Pickled Mustard Cabbage Soup), I was secretly hoping for a bowl to warm me up on that super cold afternoon (it was raining heavily that day). Sighhh but have to wait for weekend before I could cook another pot. Fate would have it when we decided to drop by Restaurant Wong Fook Kee at Tengkat Tong Shin. Whilst ordering, they ask if we wanted any soup, hubby asked what kinda soup. When the words "harm choy ngarp" (pickled mustard cabagge and duck soup) came up, hubby quickly said yes... hahaha he's a soup lover. Later I confessed to him that I was hoping for some that afternoon and he ... read more


Tomoe3
boo_licious writes: tomoe's signboard - check out the wildlife aka the lizard on the sideLast Friday, I was feeling a tad depressed since I was working on Saturday! Feeling like a boost in my system, I suggested we try Japanese in Subang Jaya - an unexplored territory for me. Original intent was Shun, opposite Subang Jaya Medical Centre but there was a function at the nearby Sheraton Subang ballroom, which caused a mini traffic jam plus a shortage of carparks around the area.pretty condiments set on the tableChanging tactics, we decided ... read more
