This is review #13 out of a 13-Part Food Blog Post Series from my recent trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from the 4th – 9th August 2011 🙂 I skipped blog post #12 not because I got lazy – I’ve decided the photos I had and the experience I didn’t really have (e.g. I didn’t really eat most of the food I took photos of, and the photos weren’t that great as I took them clumsily and too quickly and they weren’t even on MY plate – they were still on display at the quiet Malay food shops at The … Continue reading New Restaurant Ipoh Chicken Rice, Sri Petaling

This is review #11 out of a 13-Part Food Blog Post Series from my recent trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from the 4th – 9th August 2011 🙂 Bearing in mind that this was the same night I had a full dinner at Sun Fong Bak Kut Teh followed by supper at Jalan Imbi Chinese Hawker Stalls – you are probably wondering HOW that one eat so much, and HOW does one eat 3 times in one night aka 5th meal of the day?!! The decision to drive 30 minutes to SS2 just for durians was of course a spontaneous … Continue reading Durian Buffet @ SS2, Petaling Jaya

This is review #10 out of a 13-Part Food Blog Post Series from my recent trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from the 4th – 9th August 2011 🙂 If you’re out and about fairly late at night in Malaysia, do not be surprised that even when it’s bedtime for most people – the hawker stalls are still very much active and people are still very much feasting on a supper after dinner. I love the atmosphere hawker food stalls offer. It smells amazing everywhere, its lights are shiny, the food on offer are almost always appealing and mostly naughty indulgences … Continue reading Jalan Imbi Chinese Hawker Stalls

This is review #9 out of a 13-Part Food Blog Post Series from my recent trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from the 4th – 9th August 2011 🙂 My trip to this restaurant was completely unplanned and wasn’t listed at all in my initial itinerary – all thanks to the kind parents of my youngest sister’s boy whom picked us up from our hotels and took us to this delightful dinner treat! Sometimes the best things are the spontaneous ones! Restoran Sun Fong Bak Kut Teh was just around the corner too, so we didn’t have to go very far … Continue reading Restoran Sun Fong Bak Kut Teh

This is review #8 out of a 13-Part Food Blog Post Series from my recent trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from the 4th – 9th August 2011 🙂 Imbi Palace Restaurant wasn’t too far from our hotel, but it was an exceptionally hot and humid day and I was all dressed up and really didn’t feel like getting drenched in sweat just from walking 5-10 minutes. So yes, we got a cab to drive us there… it only costed us RM5 (which is approx. AUD 1.50) so why not? Hehe. It was lovely indeed to only be outside for a … Continue reading Dim Sum @ Imbi Palace Restaurant

This is review #7 out of a 13-Part Food Blog Post Series from my recent trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from the 4th – 9th August 2011 🙂 While I was in Malaysia, I didn’t just catch up with my family but also with friends who were living in KL. On a Sunday afternoon we decided to meet up at Levain for “brunch” – although in all fairness I just ate two bowls of Kolo Mee for breakfast on the same day – so I wasn’t very hungry at all! Levain was CRAZY packed! There were people everywhere and the … Continue reading Levain Boulangerie and Patisserie

This is review #6 out of a 13-Part Food Blog Post Series from my recent trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from the 4th – 9th August 2011 🙂 Finally! Let’s get into some serious “kopitiam” action aka local styled restaurants with various stalls of different types of food in one usually large shop with NO air-conditioning… but this is as Malaysian as we can get, other than outdoor hawker stalls at night, but that comes later. My KL “driver” aka my cousin did not just drive us all the way to Bandar Baru Ampang from Bukit Bintang (approx. 30 minutes … Continue reading Sarawak Kolo Mee & Laksa in KL! Restoran Chuan Hupp @ Bandar Baru Ampang

This is review #5 out of a 13-Part Food Blog Post Series from my recent trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from the 4th – 9th August 2011 🙂 This restaurant is one of my dad’s favorite whenever we are in KL. I guess the Hokkien term of “You Phi, You Chi” (aka cheap and fresh) applies. I won’t say the food here is “cheap” but I suppose for the location, convenience and again, air conditioning (lol) the price of food here is actually quite reasonable compared to most other restaurants. The standard of Chinese food here is pretty good, which … Continue reading Esquire Kitchen @ Sungei Wang Plaza

This is review #4 out of a 13-Part Food Blog Post Series from my recent trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from the 4th – 9th August 2011 🙂 While I was in KL, I’ve spent a lot of my time shopping. My trip to KL was really mostly about eating and shopping anyway, and it was just so convenient that shopping malls were located in all directions within walking distance from my hotel. I spent a lot of time in Pavilion in particular, mostly because the shops were of higher quality and it was so huge I never got to … Continue reading Pavilion Food Court

This is review #3 out of a 13-Part Food Blog Post Series from my recent trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from the 4th – 9th August 2011 🙂 I couldn’t have timed my trip to Malaysia any better. When I arrived in Kuala Lumpur, it was just the first week of the Ramadhan month, when Muslims fast and refrain from eating, drinking, and most other “pleasures” including sexual intimacy with their partners during daylight hours – instead focusing that time to offer up more prayer than usual. Basically it is their time for reflection, purity and worship. How does this … Continue reading Ramadhan Buffet @ Dorsett Regency KL
