不论是云吞面还是炒粿條，用“猪油和猪油渣”来烹调， 才能够带出它原有的特色和香味。无可否认，现今社会每样都强调“要吃得建康”。但不是叫你天天都吃炒粿條，云吞面呀！偶而吃一吃也无妨吧？什么东西多吃也有害.比如Vitamin A,B,C够好了吧？若你吃太多的话，它会令你的肝脏负荷不了，而倒至损坏！不是“猪油”不好，而是现代人少运动，怕肥才不敢吃！真可惜！你们该知道为何槟城的小食比吉隆坡来得有水准吧？虽然槟城好吃的越来越少了，但仍然保存一些传统烹调方式。 说了老半天还没讲到好吃的云吞面应该是怎样的呢？ 云吞面起源于广州。据说，此食品在唐宋时即已传入广东。至于广东何时用“云吞”二字取代馄饨之称，则无从考证。经几百年后的今天,在不同区域里各自各精彩.... (more...)

A few weeks ago we had a cordial chit chat session with a reporter from Kwong Wah Yit Poh(光华日报) over some light snacks provided by Kozue a Japanese Restaurant in Gurney Plaza. We decided to talk over food because it is our passion for food that started and continue to motivate us to blog and share our expectations and experience. And it is food, a humble bowl of Katsudon, that match made us with Ivy of Kozue to become friends. Some people say “we eat to live” and some may say... (more...)

A day after we came back from our Hong Kong trip, we were invited to attend a new cafe launching somewhere in Subang Jaya. We didn’t know what the event all about is until we arrive, thus I was ill equip to get good photos of the event. I guess if were to say that I used to watch ”Good Ol’ Happy Days’; many would think that I am an middle age person. Well, not quite yet, but am getting there very soon. ‘Happy Days’  was an American television sitcom that was... (more...)

It feels good to be back! We went to Hong Kong one and a half weeks ago for a short adventure to look for good eats and nice places. These are some of the many photos that we took while we were there exploring what Hong Kong has to offer. They are more to come…heee The Food Duck or Goose? Flew all the way from M’sia for duck? no way! GOOSE is the must try in Hong Kong. What a nice and seductive figure hangging around the cafe….haaa For those who had “goose is nothing much... (more...)

This the last post for our Raya week trip to KL, and we will be down there again next week. Noon was nearing and we planned to leave KL before it gets too late, thus we went to Mid-Valley for quick bite and to get something done on the way. We have heard a lot of Din Tai Fung 鼎太丰, and this trip we had the opportunity to get a taste of what they have to offer. We were sceptical at first, as we have had some not so satisfying experience with chain restaurants that offers the famous ‘Siao... (more...)

I guess it is time to add some spice to our food focus blog that we have got here. Many readers or fellow-bloggers might have read that we have been running a Strategic Marketing and Food Related Business Consultancy business ever since I left my previous job as an Area Manager for a German lubricant company. We have been wanting to write about what we have seen and encountered through the pass months from our encounters with restaurant owners, chefs and service crews. And most importantly we would... (more...)

Continuing on the trip that we took during the Raya week, we were in Ipoh again on the 26th of September on the way to Setiawan for a birthday dinner.  We actually planned to arrive before lunch to try out some new places, but we could not make it on time. Thus, we had to have a late lunch pit stop at an eatery which we I and Gill are not foreign to, Ah Yee . It used to be on Jalan Theater, but have finally settled in this newly acquired shop unit just a turn away from ‘Thong Sui Kai’... (more...)

On the 1st of October 2009, we attend a arranged review at little know restaurant in Sungai Ara. Pearl Palace restaurant is housed in the former Pearl Island Golf Resort main building which now serves as the sales office and country club for SP Setia. Unless one has attend a wedding banquet there, it would have been foreign to you. It is quite off track from the Sungai Ara main road, which one of the reasons that it is under patronised. The dinner review was prepared by Pearl Palace’s manager... (more...)

This newly set-upped cafe is located just opposite the Apex cafe in Raja Uda. Upon... (more...)
