Steam Power

Malaysia

team bsg writes: Steam comes out with a loud hiss and painfully scalds one who is careless , as it has great power...and so it was harnessed to generate great energy ( Q i ) to power a big boat , to cross oceans and enrich lives , bringing a sense of great harmony & togetherness thus bridging the bland divide.that was way back in the 1880 somethings. Today in PJ and elsewhere it resembles nothing like those ancient European vessels. Now it is stuffed with mostly some meats and marine ... read more


boo_licious writes: Merry Christmas everyone! Am sure all of you are busy with celebrations. Sorry but I have no food pictures from this year's Christmas party. Stupid me, I forgot my camera last night. I was charging my battery and with the rush of picking my mother from the airport, getting her settled at home and etc, I forgot to take it with me. We had a great time - turkey and yummy lamb cutlets from Shangri-la Hotel, fried beehoon, home made pie tee (I had loads courtesy of Splashie Boy), Johor Laksa and etc. Dessert was yummy pavlova topped with decadent thick cream mixed with my absolute favourite, clotted cream from Devon. Made by my friend, ... 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

Bao Bao Pan Mee @ Aman Suria, Petaling Jaya

Malaysia

boo_licious writes: Continuing on the pan mee trail again. This time round, I got to try the famous Bao Bao pan mee. An established name in town, they have branches in Puchong and Pandan Indah. The set up within the shop is simple - square wooden tables and chairs, with an open cooking space at the end of it.You can order a variety of noodles - thin, thick or even hand pinched. What makes their pan mee unique vs the rest of the others - a generous sprinkling of these fried crunchy items. These crunchy bits are actually shredded stuffed bean curd skin with fish paste.... read more


King Crab with my buddies

Malaysia

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


Chee Cheong Fun @ Section 14, Petaling Jaya

Malaysia

boo_licious writes: I first heard about this stall when I read Loopy Meals' dedication to the wonders of this smooth chee cheong fun. As usual, my urge to try this was shelved as it meant me waking up early in the morning. After two years of hankering for this chee cheong fun, I was reminded of it's existence by Lianne. This time round, I made an effort to try this place.Being unfamiliar with Section 14, it took me a while to find the stall. It is easy to find the restaurant which is the only coffeeshop in Section 14 but there are ... read more


boo_licious writes: Something short and sweet to end the week with - Matcha Ice Cream from Yokomon. I saw this particular Japanese brand of ice-cream during the recent FHM event in KL Convention Centre. They have started selling this here at the Curve's concourse area as a special Xmas promotion. It seems their outlet is at Cathay Cineleisure. I felt it was quite pricey for about RM6.90. However, it is interesting to see how the machine works. Frozen ice cream in a small round tub is taken out and placed in this machine. The staff will wind this lever at the side and the ice-cream will come out in a soft swirl. I guess there is a mechanism within ... read more

Lyrical Lemongrass writes: “Where’s the party?” she asked for the 249th time. “Wait and see lah,” I said. “You mean it’s a surprise? Your surprises normally backfire, don’t they?” she sniggered. 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
