Franchises, they are everywhere. Sometimes when I drive around the shop houses in a new neighbourhood, it gives me a sense of familiarity. Did I not see this restaurant before? Wasn't I just in this restaurant last week? But the answer is no, not really. Well, I may have been to a similarly-named re

Having worked in Penang before for close to 5 years, seafood was always an abundance. There were plenty of restaurants in Penang serving fresh and reasonably priced seafood, and most of them even came with a sea view! But after moving to the bustling metropolitan that is KL, having fresh seafood wit

Juanita - this name has always fascinated me. Apart from the fact that it reminds me of Desperate Housewives :), it is also, to me, a name that represents a strong woman, someone who is determined in achieving her goals, yet does so in an elegant and gracious manner. How will that translate when Jua

What comes to mind when you imagine noodles, anchovies, poached egg and dried chilli? No prizes for guessing it right, for my tell-tale title has given it all away. :) Being a self-proclaimed chilli pan mee aficionado (you can do a search of Chilli Pan Mee on my blog and see how many times I've feat

Sri Petaling, the place where I spend most of my lunch time in, has recently evolved to be an emerging food haven, especially with the new establishments along the new shop houses next to The Store. The new restaurants kept popping up like mushrooms, so much so that it's hard to catch up even though

Chef Ricky Thein and I, we go back a long way. He used to be the Chinese Chef at Tai Zi Heen, where I had the opportunity to sample their Chinese New Year sets here and here. It's no secret that I love his creations! Every meal was a satisfaction especially his signature Stir-fried prawns and Cod fi

It's the month of October, which means more splurging on the annual Festival menus by participating restaurants in the Malaysian International Gourmet Festival (MIGF). This time around, I was privileged to sample the MIGF menu at the posh and upscale Mandarin Grill restaurant at Mandarin Oriental Ho

Sometimes during the weekend, all Saucer and I want is a place to sit comfortably, have some snacks and more importantly, a good cup of coffee. We have been to several places that serve good coffee in a comfortable ambience so far, but none with really delicious snacks. Last week though, we were int

It was after work, circa 6pm that day that I reached home. And Saucer was playing his PS3, engrossed, if I might say so, apparently at the last stage of his game. When he saw me, he just nonchalantly said "Hi" with a smile, while continuing with his game. It was my birthday, I frowned. Fine, so I sa

I love October! Aside from the fact that it's my birthday month ;), it's also the month of wonderful food thanks to the annual Malaysian International Gourmet Festival (MIGF), a month-long event showcasing the creme de la creme of Malaysia's finest restaurants with their Festival menus. These custom
