Ah Her Bak Kut Teh @ Pandamaran, Klang
Mention Bak Kut Teh and one would immediately think of Klang, touted home of the best bak kut teh’s in Malaysia. However, there are soooo many Bak Kut Teh stalls in Klang that it can be rather confusing. In fact everyone seems to have their own favourite Klang Bak Kut Teh stall. Each stall has [...]

Desserts & Cocktails @ Sakae Izakaya/Sakae Teppanyaki, Auto City Juru
One of my favourite places to go for teppanyaki is Sakae Teppanyaki at Auto City. But because it’s located on the Mainland, I hardly have the opportunity to eat there. With the long Deepavali holiday weekend, and also news from my brother that they now have tapas and desserts, we immediately made plans to go.
After [...]

The Elusive Taman Sri Sentosa Pan Mee, Off Old Klang Road
Knowing what a big pan mee fan I was, K had mentioned to me numerous times about this pan mee place that has won the hearts of many bloggers. And after seeing Boolicious’ post I decided that I just had to go find this place!
I had no idea where Taman Sri Sentosa was but luckily [...]

Padang Brown Popiah
The popiah in Padang Brown is perhaps one of the best popiahs in Penang. And it has been rather blogged to death. But I just couldn’t resist doing a post on this. Mainly because the photos are amazing! (step by step photos on making the popiah!)
Lest you think that my photography skills have suddenly improved, [...]

Dragon-y @ Suntech Cybercity, Bayan Baru
A few Sunday afternoons ago, we were wondering where to go for lunch. And we ended up at Dragon-y, one of the newly opened restaurants in Suntech Cybercity (just behind Sunshine Square, opposite the market). I didn’t know what to expect and thought it might be something similar to Dragon-i.
Little did I know that it [...]

Thai Food: Chok Dee Thai Restaurant @ Burmah Road
I love Thai food, although I’ve only been to Phuket once and have not set foot on Bangkok yet. Somehow I cannot resist a good bowl of piping hot tomyam or fragrant pieces of pandan chicken or rich mango pulut desserts. Therefore I am constantly searching for good Thai food in Penang.
And my most recent [...]

Starview Restaurant @ New World Park, Penang
Starview Restaurant has always been equated to good Chinese food and the place to go to for dinners and Chinese weddings. Their weekends are always fully booked and don’t hope to get a table if you don’t have a prior reservation!
This long established restaurant has recently moved to a spanking new premise in New World [...]

KissA Koyotei Japanese Restaurant @ Jalan Hutton, Penang
KissA Koyotei Japanese Restaurant is not exactly new to the food scene, but when it first opened, my family dined there without me and did not give it glowing reviews. Mainly because of the limited food choices and the menu was all in Japanese!
We promptly forgot about the place. But when we drove past the [...]

Vintage Bulgaria Restaurant & Bar @ Tanjung Bungah (Hillside) Penang
When driving pass Hillside Tanjung Bungah a few weeks ago, I spotted a new restaurant being renovated next to the Ingolf German Restaurant. I was immediately taken by its beautiful brick wall exterior and wooden floorings. And made a mental note to come check this place out. Besides I was really excited! Bulgarian food in [...]
