Roti Canai Kayu Arang @ Bachang, MELAKA – roti nachos, best nasi lemak, roti tampal

Whether the charcoal (kayu arang) enhances the roti canai in either aroma or taste is debatable.

I for one, couldn’t detect any enhancements.
It could be that our orders were roti tampal (eggs + roti canai) and Roti Nachos (a pizza with roti canai as base) and since both were not plain roti, the presumably added smoky flavours were lost on us.

IPOH: Boutique hotel under RM50/night – 27 at Concubine Lane

The charming and old but definitely lovingly kept 27 at Concubine Lane may not be your average boutique hotel with all the sparkles and decor in place to recreate the nostalgic vibe.

At 27 at Concubine Lane, it is as real as it gets.

SENSODYNE Mouthwash for sensitive teeth and my annual dental check up

Soon after I attended the launch of Sensodyne Mouthwash for sensitive teeth I had a dental appointment set up for me.

It was timely since my annual dental check was due, and as I have suspected I have some teething issues (pun intended).

Nasi Lemak Salad @ Chai Bar, Oasis or Telawi, Bangsar

So I’ve tried the Nasi lemak Cheesecake. Earlier last year a cute nasi lemak sushi was making waves in KL.
Then this month I gobbled a whole nasi lemak MAKI and had thought; this nasi lemak trend is sure picking up.

Let’s not forget the nasi lemak gelato that started it all back in 2012.

In keeping to the theme, today’s lunch was this Nasi Lemak Salad (RM26) at Chai Bar.

Bits & Bobs (ais kepal/ice balls) @ Kong Heng Square, Ipoh

What used to be “old” and forgotten has been resurrected to be ‘hip‘ again.
I’m in favour of such revivals of old and nostalgic, though by now I’ve realized it comes at an inflated price, no thanks to well, inflation.

A RM0.10 ice ball 2 decades ago is now RM3.00.
I’m not claiming this is to be the price throughout the whole country, but at Bits & Bobs in Ipoh, that is what you will be paying for an ice ball drizzled with syrup.

Ipoh: Keng Nam best white coffee! Others – curry mee, chee cheong fun, pulut kaya

I’v heard of the pulut kaya at Keng Nam and although it sounded intriguing it hasn’t been appealing enough to entice me to Keng Nam for it.

After all, pulut with kaya is like kuih kaya or pulut tekan, just minus the blue color.
Besides, the kaya is too sweet for my liking.
