Wantan mee WDS SS2 is now @ Kong Yam Kong Sek Foodcourt Centrepoint !
Today is the launch of the new NON-HALAL foodcourt at Centrepoint, Bandar Utama.
I was excited to see old friends again so I got my colleagues along and visited early.
Authentic Penang lorbak for sale in KL – RM30 for 10 rolls!
My grandmother makes the best … “xxxx “.
Sounds familiar?
Well, I honestly do think that my granny made the best Penang Lorbak.
Hers is a lovingly marinated mix of pork liver, lean pork, pork fat strips and
Some recipes call for water chestnuts, others used jicama (sengkuang) for the sweetness and pleasant crunch.
For sale: Salted Egg Yolk KAYA in Malaysia!
Why salted egg yolk kaya? Well, as you may know I'm the person responsible for the craze for the salted egg yolk croissant saga last year. I was featured in…
Nyonya chang for sale in KL – delivery to Penang, Ipoh, Terengganu, Johor
After years and hundreds of RM spent tasting and testing every Nyonya chang I can get my hands on in Melaka and Klang Valley, I’ve finally found the best of them all – generous fillings to rice ratio, every glutinous grain perfectly cooked, each weighting consistently at 180 – 200g and opens to reveal sweet and savoury minced meat perfumed with spices which are neither too heavy nor too mild.
It is in short, the perfect Nyonya chang.
Baked cheese tarts: Bake Plan SS2, Uncle Tetsu, Lavendar Bakery, Tokyo Secret & Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart
I had thought the molten cheese tart craze is quite passé by now.
However, surprisingly, there is still a strong following going on as I’ve people asking me “Where is the best molten cheese tart in KL?”
I’ve posted about my disappointing baked cheese tarts experience before HERE.
My rating was (1) Bake (Hong Kong) over (2) Tokyo Secret (IPC) and coming in last would be (3) Hokkaido Cheese Tart (Empire Subang).
Today, I’ve revised my ratings to:
(1) L Table at Lavender Bakery at 1 Utama Shopping Centre
(2) Tokyo Secret, IPC
(3) Bake Plan SS2
(4) Uncle Tetsu 1 Utama Shopping Centre
(5) Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart, Empire Subang
The above ratings are solely for the Malaysian brands.
I would rate BAKE Cheese Tart the BEST over all the 5 brands above, but BAKE Cheese Tart is not available in Malaysia (yet).
But for a better understanding on how the Bake Cheese Tart is like, below is a short description.
Special mention: Bake Cheese Tart
Since Bake Cheese Tart is not available in Malaysia (as yet, but maybe soon since it is already in Singapore!), I’ve been getting my fix in Singapore and Hong Kong.
It’s competitor; Pablo Cheese Tart is opening a branch soon in 1 Utama but reviews has not been kind so far.
Apparently, my friends and readers who has tried it in Japan felt that (via comments on my FB & posting) Bake Cheese Tart still reigns supreme.
Bake Cheese Tart (Hong Kong) was truly cheesy; like seriously eating melted cheese ‘cheesy‘. A blend of 3 cheeses, it imparted more aroma and complexity in each bite.
My only gripe? The rather thick crust.
Mooncake 2016: Renaissance Kuala Lumpur Hotel
With 7 variants of baked traditional mooncakes and 7 mini snow skin, Renaissance Kuala Lumpur Hotel ensures both the traditionalists and the adventurous are placated.
The flavours for the baked variety was kept simple with lotus paste and red bean while the snow skin collection saw playful renditions with marshmallows, corn and osmanthus thrown in.
‘All-You-Can-Eat Dim Sum’ @ DYNASTY RESTAURANT, RENAISSANCE KUALA LUMPUR HOTEL
Earlier in January this year I got acquainted with Chef Kok Chee Kin.
His Chinese cooking prowess was duly noted that evening as he tormented our palates with the most delicious and well executed flavours from his creations.
It was a memorable session, as aside from the food, we were amused by his cheeky quips throughout the evening.
Fast forward 8 months later, we met again.
Aside from the hair color, Chef appears to be in good health and humour.
‘All-You-Can-Eat Dim Sum’ brunch @ Lai Ching Yuen, Grand Millennium KL
In general “All-You-Can-Eat Dim Sum” brunches are great for group dining and for those with an appetite.
After all in a buffet you are required to pay a certain lump sum upfront and thus you’re inclined to attempt to get your money’s worth.
Personally I’m not the eat-til-I’m-stuffed type.
I’m the sort who prefer to eat well, consume quality items and stop when I’m not hungry. Hence buffets aren’t good value for me.
