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

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

Robyn Eckhardt writes: A Pakistani Brings the Flavors of His Hometown to Kuala Lumpur KLue  Issue 110  December 2007 Text: Robyn Eckhardt     Photos: David Hagerman It's a long way from KL to Lahore. As we suffer through dripping skies and thick, wet heat, the capital city of Pakistan's fertile Punjab plains is awash in sunlight and shivering through temperatures that dip to freezing. While we gear up for the commercialized shopping frenzy that is Christmas, Lahoris ready themselves for Moharram, the first month of the Muslim calendar and the most sacred after Ramadan. As we thrill to the opening of not one, but two new shopping malls, the architectural heritage sites that dot Pakistan's storied second city give a nod to ... read more

Lyrical Lemongrass writes: Happiness is eating a simple bowl of noodles tossed in some dark sauce. Happiness is slurping double-boiled soup flavoured with chinese herbs. Tender duck meat that literally falls off the bones saturates the soup with its essence. Happiness is watching the steam fog up my glasses as I slurp up my noodles. The simplicity of which it is prepared, with just a sprinkling of chopped spring onions and sliced garlic, is a contrast to the complexity of its taste. Wolfberries add a natural sweetness to the taste of ... read more

Lyrical Lemongrass writes: I felt like a kid in a candy store. It was my first time trying poon choi, and I was mesmerised. It is said that a long time ago, poon choi was cooked in large wooden wash basins to serve the multitudes.  Things have evolved since, and in Restoran LYJ, the poon choi is served in a metal tray and kept warm on a portable stove.  The interesting aspect of this dish is that the ingredients are layered, starting with the bottom layer consisting of the braised foods like pork knuckles, fish stomach, abalone, mushroom ... read more

boo_licious writes: Soft KaniMaki (RM36++)We had lots of fun last Friday - another Floggers get-together. This time, it was a big big party for Christmas at My Elephant by Doodee at Section 17, Petaling Jaya. I was late hence by the time I got there, all I had was bits and pieces of food served. I didn't get to mingle much too (very sorry people!) as I was sitting at the non food blogger's table plus when I started mingling, I realised I kinda lost my voice with all the shouting I had to do to be heard. Sigh! Apologies to those who were there, whom I didn't meet. Special thanks to Lyrical Lemongrass, Precious Pea and ... read more

teckiee writes: Buddies, thank you for being there for me through thick and thin, through mountains and rivers, through all the arguments and misunderstanding, through carrots and cabbages, and listening to and reading my rants until your ears and eyes fall off. I don't know how to give something impromptu, but this is my 15 minutes speech for you. Crab Baked with Creamy Butter in Claypot. The creamy butter sauce wasn't as nice as before. It was out too thick and all clumpy =( When having lunch with this bunch, I remembered something. Something which I am not proud of. This bunch have always been there for me. They took care of me. They don't judge me. They don't ... read more
