For someone who is not a fan of noodles in general, I do yearn for a good bowl of Lam Mee.
My place of choice was at a corner coffee shop in Pulau Tikus and their stock (soup) plus their sambal kicks ass!

In KL, a good bowl of Penang Lam Mee can be a bit elusive.

While Lam Mee Ya (a chain of restaurants in the Klang Valley) may be mistaken for offering Penang Lam Mee due to its name, let me assure you that the Penang Lam Mee isn’t that dark brown, starchy gravy version.

Authentic Penang Lam Mee consists of yellow noodles in meat stock topped with prawns, pork, omelette strips and bean sprouts. Prior to serving it will be garnished with coriander leaves, shallots and cut red chillies.

I’ve never had a chance to visit Ngam in Bangsar.
Their time in Bangsar proved to be a short stint and when they shut their doors, I’ve thought I missed my chance.

However, there news that they were merely relocating. And true enough, this week, Ngam resurfaced in 1 Utama Shopping Centre.
Located in the old wing near Popular and Chatime, Ngam is now within walking distance from my home!

So there isn’t an excuse not to visit now, especially when I know someone who is a big fan of tom yum.
Besides, I had wanted to support a friend’s business.

No stranger to the Four Points brand, I’ve always known that a Four Points property can be relied on for a comfortable stay within a fair budget.

In Penang, the seaside property offers access to the famed Penang beach while the popular Georgetown is a mere 20 minutes drive.
My 3D2N stay during their opening week allowed me some happy times back in my beautiful hometown.

5 years serving good, homely Nyonya dishes and I’ve only knew about it now??

The brunch scene in KL is about to get more exciting!

Just as I was lamenting about the quality of cafe and ‘cafe food‘ and “those brunch restaurants” with a few eye rolls to a friend, I received news about a new brunch menu at The Daily Grind followed by an invite from one of my favourite pork brunch places in town – Breadfruits.

And just yesterday, a FB posting by a friend showed beautiful photos of the famous Wild Honey Singapore in Pavilion KL.
Needless to say I dropped him a message immediately and made Sunday brunch plans.

I love char siew but it was challenging to find one that I enjoy.
Too many of the popular ones (Meng Kee, Char Siew Yoong, etc) were overly sweet and I find the flavours of the meat lost because of it.

But Toast and Roast has remained one of my top choice for char siew ever since its inception 6 years ago.
Granted, I don’t visit often as parking is a challenge there, and at times, yes, even the char siew was too sweet for me.

Today I soothed my frayed nerves (running another new business is harrowing) with their char siew at their spanking new outlet at Chow Yang SS2.
Their legendary char siew was as good as I remembered, and happily enough, it wasn’t too sweet!
