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

Last weekend, Saucer and I went back to my hometown in Kampar on the second day of Chinese New Year. Kampar, a small town situated about 160km north of KL is the place where I spent my childhood years in, and the place where my grandparents and parents still reside currently. As usual, Chinese New Y

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

A long delayed post from back in September! It was my dear grandpa's birthday and we're all back to celebrate with him. My mom who just came back from France brought a little something for all of us. It's a bottle of champagne from none other than Moët et Chandon itself! :) Bottle of champagne

East Ocean Restaurant or 'Tung Hoi' in Cantonese is no stranger to the Chinese community in Ipoh, for their quality food at reasonable prices. Just a few months ago, East Ocean has spread its wings down south to its neighbourhood town, Kampar. For Kamparians like me, this is definitely good news as

Continuing on my search for that perfect Bak Kut Teh in Puchong, I went to this place called Yap Chuan Bak Kut Teh after much recommendation from friends and blogs. Using the GPS, it led me to this place using the back roads with lots of traffic lights. Upon reaching only I knew that it's actually v

When I first read Motormouth's entry on the 7 inch thick burger from Vegas Kitchen in Kampar, I immediately told myself and I HAD to give it a try when I go back to my hometown. And that day came about 2 weeks ago, when I went back during the Wesak weekend. Kampar was bustling with people, especiall

Curry fish head, a prominent Malaysian dish appealing to both the young and old alike, is making a debut at House of Tang!

Waking up at 4.30am is no easy feat, especially when you sleep at 1am the night before, but that was what I had to do on my actual wedding day! The appointment for make up was at 5am, and I had to wake up earlier to wash my hair from the night before. *sigh* Luckily I felt much better after the earl
