This is review #2 out of a 13-Part Food Blog Post Series from my recent trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from the 4th – 9th August 2011 🙂 I love hawker stalls and street food… but sometimes I dread the fact that in order to enjoy authentic hawker food I have to put up with the hot and humid Malaysian weather since most hawker stalls are out in the open or in coffee shops aka kopitiams (local styled restaurants) with no air conditioning. So hotttt… SO, when I found out that right in the heart of Bukit Bintang, located at … Continue reading Heritage Food Village @ Lot 10

This is review #1 out of a 13-Part Food Blog Post Series from my recent trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from the 4th – 9th August 2011 🙂 The great thing about food in Malaysia is actually also the great thing about food in Melbourne… diversity. Yes, you would probably expect me to blog all about Malaysian street food and the local delicacies, trust me I will get to that. Since I am blogging in chronological order, let’s start from my first night in KL! I literally went straight from the airport, to hotel check-in, to a quick freshen up, … Continue reading El Cerdo at Werner’s Place

Hello everyone! I’m writing from my cousin’s place in Kuala Lumpur (KL), Malaysia. Today is my last day here in KL and I’m just killing some time at her place due to absolute exhaustion (and satisfaction) and no longer have the urge nor need to shop until I literally drop… hehe. Staying at the Dorsett Regency KL in the popular Bukit Bintang area meant everything was within close proximity and shopping malls and food places were conveniently located within walking distance. It’s been a wonderful trip, did LOTS of eating so I thought I’d write a quick blog post to … Continue reading Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: Upcoming Food Blog Posts

When I left Kuching, I had a stopover in Kuala Lumpur (KL) for a night. I was staying with a friend, and my cousin was kind enough to pick me up from the airport and take me shopping and later on we had dinner with 2 of my friends at Chilis @ 1 Utama Shopping Mall. I figured I have had too much Asian food the past 12 days in Kuching.. and I felt the need to ease back into Aussie life. Nah, just kidding. I JUST WANTED SOME BEEF RIBS!!! Pretty random, I know.. but Chilis ended up being … Continue reading Jalan Jalan Cari Makan in Kuala Lumpur

I said I would end with a Big Bang, so be prepared for a BIG final chapter of my Kuching Food Adventures. It has been amazing to be back in my hometown, and yes I have gained weight but I will worry about exercising and diet-ing it off when I get back to Melbourne. How often do I get to come back right? Hhmmm… you probably won’t see me post a recipe for a while even though I’ll be back in my kitchen, unless it’s a low fat healthy recipe :p So last night, I went out with my friends … Continue reading Kuching Food Adventures Part 7 – The End

Another round of amazing seafood tonight! Thanks to my cousin for shouting us this dinner. I have been so spoilt ever since I’ve arrived. The amount of food I have been having… the adventures as you can see on this blog… I really hope my hubby still recognizes me when I return to Melbourne, lol. This time around it was Pending Seafood. An open, outdoor area, similar to hawker stalls but most of the “stalls” or “kitchens” specialize in seafood. The experience is indeed very local. I’ve never been to Pending Seafood before tonight, and was pleasantly surprised to discover … Continue reading Kuching Food Adventures Part 6

I just had an awesome weekend at Damai Beach Resort, Kuching. I really can’t remember the last time I was there… especially with my family. I remember as a child, we would regularly go and stay at the resort over the weekend as a family activity thing. Eventually, we all grew up.. and those trips are rare… BUT this weekend we re-lived those times all over again.. and as a result, I have new material to post on my food blog!! More FOOD! BUT, before we get to the food I had at the seafood restaurant near the beach resort… … Continue reading Kuching Food Adventures Part 5

Day 4 and I am starting to struggle … what to eat? Where to eat? What to do? Where to go? LOL I know my adventures are not quite over yet… after all, I have yet to go on a seafood banquet, nor steamboat, so the BIG options are still there… the trouble is finding the smaller options.. so off to the hawker stalls I went. Easiest thing to do when you’re clueless! Go to the hawker stalls and you will almost always find something yummy 🙂 Rojak Sarawak at lunch. Shared with my parents. Sarawak Kolo Mee… also at … Continue reading Kuching Food Adventures Part 4

Well, checking the time it is only 4.45pm and therefore I am blogging too early to include dinner and possibly supper! BUT technically I am cooking for the fam tonight, and I am making spaghetti bolognese with my homemade meatballs… so that’s NOT considered Kuching food and therefore cannot be included in this Kuching Food Adventure blog series anyway… so here’s a bit of an update! Food-wise only, of course. There is a time n place for everything and on this blog, only FOOD may be mentioned! Hahahahaa. Laksa Sarawak for brunch… Roast Chicken (served w/ rice) at lunch. Also … Continue reading Kuching Food Adventures Part 3
