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

Every weekend, Saucer and I would venture to our neighbourhood area to look for new places to dine. Last weekend, we were driving past the Kuchai Lama area and noticed this restaurant called Star Village that seemed to be packed with people. Since we were feeling a little adventurous, we decided to

Growing up, I was never a fan of bitter gourd, or anything bitter for that matter. Being more of a spicy and savoury person, I usually left any dishes involving bitter gourd untouched. Recently, however, I have started to adapt my taste buds to bitter gourd, also known as 'fu kua' in Cantonese. Bitt

Famous for its fresh sliced fish porridge, I have first visited Hon Kee Porridge early this year at its Damansara Uptown branch. Fast forward half a year later, so many new branches have mushroomed until one of them is just nearby my area! Last weekend, Saucer and I visited this porridge place with

I always thought TeoChew food revolved around plain porridge, salted egg or steamed fish. Being a fellow TeoChew myself, I was surprised to find out that there's so much more to Teochew cuisine than that. Recently, a visit to Teow Chew Meng left me wondering why I hadn't been eating more of the deli

Most people out of Perak may not have heard about Tanjung Tualang, a small town district in Perak, famous for its freshwater prawns. Previously a tin mining area, the ponds now have been converted to rear huge and fleshy prawns instead. Located just 20 minutes from Kampar, we were there one weekend

Apart from watching fireflies in Kuala Selangor, another reason we went there was for their fresh and cheap seafood. On the way towards the town, we passed by this Malay stall selling fruits, snacks and coconut water. Seeing it was such a hot and sunny afternoon, we stopped by for some coconuts!

As the saying goes, "Food brings the world together". And so it did. For the few of us Tweeples, that is. It all started when Quachee mentioned about this special box of mooncake he bought all the way from Singapore and people started saying they wanted a piece of the mooncake each. In the end, due

Today I shall blog about a place that my colleagues and I go frequently for lunch. In fact, we visit this place so often that they are asking me not to blog about it in case the restaurant becomes full house and we can't get a table for lunch next time! *LOL* Too full of myself eh? The truth is, the
