To get to Chinatown (Yaowarat) Bangkok, the fastest way is via the boat ride, since it avoids traffic and it's cheap. First, we took the BTS to Saphan Taksin, and once we're out from the station we followed the crowd and saw Sathorn Pier barely 3 minutes away. At the pier though, it could be confusi

More than 2 years ago, I visited the first Din Tai Fung in KL for the launch of its new menu and to witness the preparation of the 18-fold Xiao Long Bao. Fast forward 2 years plus later, I have lost count on the number of times I visited Din Tai Fung, usually for the cute dumplings and my favourite

Time really flies when you're having fun, doesn't it? Pardon my absence for the past 2 days, for I was having a relaxing getaway weekend at my home sweet home back in Kampar. Nothing like sleeping the time away and waking up to delicious home cooked food, don't you agree? ;) Anyway, back to reality [...]

Last weekend, I was up to something cheeky. Together with my colleague Kai's fiancee, we planned a surprise birthday party for him. I was in charge of roping in Kai's colleagues and to make sure they didn't leak the secret out. I think we did a pretty good job because Kai didn't suspect anything at [...]

In my previous trip to Shanghai, China, I came across a new dish called 'Ji Gong Pau' or Chicken Hot Pot. Both Saucer and I loved it so much that we actually had it twice during our trip there! Little did we know, there's something similar in Malaysia too! Imagine the look on our eyes when we saw it [...]

Nasi Kandar Pelita is no stranger to most of us, especially to those who stayed in Penang before. It is one of the more prominent 'nasi kandar' shops in Penang, along the names of Kayu, Kassim Mustafa and the likes. Recently, Pelita has opened a new branch just next to IOI Mall in Puchong. With its [...]

After the somewhat disappointing Bak Kut Teh experience previously, Saucer and I fetched our guest all the way to Klang to satisfy our Bak Kut Teh cravings. It was already 8.30pm when we left, and by the time we reached Klang, it was already 9pm. While Saucer was driving, I was busy searching for a [...]

Of all the food requests that our friend from Penang (Wailian) had, his one particular request was to have Klang Bak Kut Teh. Frankly, even I had not been to Klang before. So, Saucer and I decided to go visit Klang on one week night. However, just before we left home, someone called Wailian and info [...]

I was just browsing my regular blogs and came across Bagskaki, with a pleasant surprise. They have new stock in! And plenty of new bags on hand right now. Some of them are just so pretty I couldn't take my eyes of them. Aih, someone stop me from my unreasonable bag cravings. Now that I have a Coach, [...]

It's the weekend again! What's for lunch? Fancy a roasted chicken? :) My friend Ann first told me about Jamie Oliver's famed roast chicken a few weeks ago, when I asked her what should I cook at home. After taking a look at it and checking what's in the refrigerator, I decided to so a little bit of [...]

We were at The Palette again the other day, while bringing Wai Lian around. He was pretty excited and thrilled with the colourful lighting of the area, being a photography buff himself. We took many shots here, because I just loved the colours!

We then walked a [...]

A short post today, on a place not very well-known, yet very close to my heart. Literally. This is a coffee shop that Saucer and I go most of the time for dinner or supper, if we have nothing planned. It is close to where we stay and it serves some mean porridge and Chinese dishes. East Wang Zhao Ko [...]
