boo_licious writes: just opened but packed with peopleNotice how we seem to follow Singapore in terms of food trends. Not sure why we are always the follower versus the leader. One fine example is the newly opened Pasta de Gohan, a spin off from Pasta de Waraku from Singapore. A well established chain of restaurants in Singapore, this outlet at Sunway Pyramid, just opened their doors on 9 May, 2008.take your pick from the row of plastic plates of pastaFor their opening ceremony, they advertised a special promotion for the 9 May, 2008, which involves a 100% rebate in terms of ... read more

vkeong writes: You won’t believe where I went to celebrate my last Valentine’s day. It wasn’t at any fancy Western restaurant nor a romantic candle light dinner. Partly because most of the restaurants in Penang were already fully booked a few days ahead. So, we decided to have a seafood feast at Bali Hai Seafood Market - a seafood restaurant along Gurney Drive. We thought that the money would be better spent on seafood than lamb or steaks. And boy, did we make a helluva good decision! Before the showing the foods I ate, let me give you a tour of the seafoods Bali Hai has to offer.... 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

vkeong writes: I have been wanting to try Tony Roma’s for long already, so I took the chance when I was in Pavilion a while ago. I don’t know much about Tony Roma’s actually, I thought it should be similar to other Western food restaurant like TGIF or Chilis. The biggest difference I notice among them would be the atmosphere. Tony Roma’s is quiet and somewhat formal, TGIF is party-like while Chilis is somewhere between them. Food wise, it is definitely more upscale and same goes for the price. Ordering ala carte would be too expensive. So, I decided to take the set lunch which is advertised as costing less than RM20 instead.... read more

Robyn Eckhardt writes: After our 'Bali Bound' post went up I received an email from a pork-loving reader asking me to write about the babi guling (roast pig) in Ubud. On this trip we were nowhere near Ubud, and while we did sample a very nice plate of pork on our way from the airport to our accommodations in the northern hills, that was about it. But fortunately for reader Ying, while on Bali we met up with Brett Martin, a Brooklyn-based writer who's as crazy for pig as we are for chilies. After Dave and I returned home to KL Brett and his partner in crime J headed to Ubud, where Brett found porky ... read more

vkeong writes: On the way to Kek Lok Si to photograph the beautiful lanterns displayed in the temple during Chinese New Year, Siang Leng and I stopped at Asia Cafe for dinner. I blogged about this rather classy hawker centre before and it has been a year since my last visit. I noticed the oyster noodle stall is not there anymore. A pity because the oyster noodle quite good. We were undecided on what to eat as the foods there don’t seem appealing.. At last we chose to order from Hainan Lou Western Food. Hainan Lou Western Food has many types of Western food ... read more

Lyrical Lemongrass writes: “Welcome back,” he said. It was a Saturday evening, and I was chuckling to myself when his words interrupted my reverie. “Whatever for?” I asked. “You’re back.” He smiled. “So we’re going to Prime to celebrate.” “Back? I never went anywhere.” I looked hard for the bump on his head where he would have knocked his head on the cangkul. “I thought I had lost you this past week.  You were turning into a grumpy little thing and your language had become quite colourful,” he said. He was right.  I had turned into a grouch. A grumpy cynical grouch. It ... 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: We have everything all planned out for the last day. Eat everything we have been eyeing for, eat everything that we like, and do our last minute shopping.We head to the market again hoping for that particular packed noodles stall to be open and with less people. We were in luck to find three empty seats for us to squat. I had the rounded noodles with minced pork balls and bambo shoots soup. (10,000 Dong) The soup was just so so but I like the bambos shoots itself. Some might not like the bamboo shoot smell as it might smell too pungent. I'm used to it because I love them in my ... read more
