PUCHONG, July 22 — In a crowded food scene, how does a start-up shout out its presence? Some employ what I call, the “shock, horror, what in the world is that?” tactic to grab attention. It works to a certain extent, as seen by the many social media accounts tripping over themselves to TikTok a
KUALA LUMPUR, July 15 — Fish balls are pretty easy to come by at most eateries serving noodles. What’s rare — almost like precious gems — are freshly-made ones crafted entirely of fish meat without any fillers. That makes Restoran Twin Kee Home Made Fish Ball Noodles Soup a unicorn in an industry dominated by
SEMENYIH, June 20 — Getting food recommendations and tips can be a double-edged sword. They can introduce you to a hidden gem or disappoint, if you proceed with too high an expectation. Worse, warnings of long queues might put you off visiting the much hailed eatery in the first place. But fortune favours the bold,
KUALA LUMPUR, June 9 — With a name like The Art Noodles Lab, there should be little confusion about what’s on the menu. And yet, when I visited this restaurant in Fortune Perdana, Kepong, the long and unrelenting menu lay siege to my senses; even now, the page of 26 optional add-ons is seared into

SEREMBAN, May 9 — We could learn a thing or two from children’s books. Take the Dr Seuss classic, Green Eggs and Ham. The initially reluctant Sam was finally convinced to try the emerald hued sunny side ups and cured meat… and decided he liked them! I have to confess I needed no persuasion to

KUALA LUMPUR, April 22 — In the world of food, Sam Kan Cheong (Cantonese for “three shops”) noodles are iconic. But what is its origin story?

PETALING JAYA, April 21 — Wonderfu isn’t a great name for a restaurant. It’s far from the worst, but even if you know that it’s a fairly creative phonetic interpretation of “碗得福” — roughly translating to “bowl of blessings” — it doesn’t tell you much about the restaurant.

PUCHONG, April 5 — Uncovering local gems is a tough job. Often, it requires multiple deep dives until you find a place worthy of a journey to try out. Sister Fish Head Noodles is definitely that shiny, sparkly gem, well worth a drive to Bandar Kinrara, all thanks to a friend’s recommendation. It was their
PETALING JAYA, April 4 — In light of this latest bout of extreme heat, I’ve found myself increasingly drawn to cosy, comfortable places with ample air-conditioning. Look, I’m all for an adventure under zinc roofs but I prefer not to sweat all over my laptop when trying to get my work done. And so I
