Kim Tavern @ Sunway Carnival Mall, Seberang Jaya

I do venture to Sunway Carnival Mall occasionally and did not notice any new food outlets, so I was quite surprised when I received an invitation to dine at a new cafe by Taufulou’s friend, via CK. And so a small group of us ventured across the sea (reminds me of  going for a“lawatan sambil [...]

Sri Weld Food Court @ Beach Street

One of my favourite places to go to for Nasi Lemak (the cheap wrapped in banana leaf type) is Sri Weld Food Court along the busy Beach Street. The Nasi Lemak Ali there is located right at the front of the hawker centre and what makes it so excellent is the fiery hot sambal!

Lily’s Vegetarian Kitchen @ Lorong Madras, Penang

And so, now that she’s retired, her schedule is more flexible and we do have the opportunity to meet up [...]
