A 2nd Chapter On Food Fight & Lou Sang @ Yum Yum Restaurant
2012-01-31 09:05:34
It does not matter whether you understand the real meaning behind every toss; liberally peppered with shouts of ‘huat ah!’ (rich/prosperous/etc) and such. Even if you’re from a different cultural background, or with a snigger plastered across the face wondering are these people mad? Come on …. adults playing with their food?!! Some things just [...]

CNY 2012 – What’s “Bak Kut Teh” Got To Do With It?
2012-01-28 19:49:48
Dry Bak Kut Teh; a pot of various cuts of pork cooked in a thickened gravy that’s nothing like the conventional bak kut teh perfumed by herbs, but resembling a ‘kung pow’ touch with dried chillies, dried cuttlefish and lots of okra (ladies finger) and topped with chopped coriander. Now I have been itching to [...]

The Limestone’s Fine Dining Restaurant @ Regalodge Hotel Ipoh
2012-01-25 11:35:54
If you think that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, think again. For 15 years, Regalodge Hotel has been enduring the many stalwarts of hoteliers with impressive tenacity; albeit the emergence of one VERY strong contender by the name of Tower Regency situated at … erm, almost next door. Then, sometime last year, [...]

CNY 2012 – A Rainy Reunion Feast @ Tuck Kee Restaurant
2012-01-22 20:55:11
Always a pleasure to be dining with your loved ones, ain’t it? The Year of the Dragon comes a-beckoning, promising another 12 months of potential growth, hardships, tribulations, happiness and everything in between. Whichever year that you were born in, I am sure you would have an inkling of what’s possibly crossing your path this [...]

CNY 2012 – Why Go Japanese @ Waraku?
2012-01-20 21:43:03
Waraku; one of the most tenacious Japanese restaurants in Ipoh so far. Since eating at Chinese restaurants might entail the gory need to mortgage an arm or a leg this season, we thought why not go Japanese for a change. After all, the subsequent days would be filled with Yee Sang, pork, chicken, prawns, fish, [...]

CNY 2012 – Motormouth Runs Wild @ Simee, Ipoh
2012-01-20 01:49:38
Look at those stacked up slices of pre-smoked dried meat @ Seong Kee in Simee, Ipoh; a very RED (‘ong’) sign of things to come this Dragon Year?! Yay! Live updates streaming on a day to day basis (I hope). Motormouth reached home extremely early this morning (almost uncharacteristically me, some may say), and thankful [...]

Like A Hero’s Homecoming …
2012-01-18 08:36:56
If only life is all “rojak-ed up”, yet every event/happening complemented each other so well like the ingredients that go into the making of this plate of Malaysian salad (with a scarily tar-like black coloured gravy made of shrimp paste!), then I certainly don’t mind the cascade of trials. A colleague of mine broke down [...]

Magic of Dim Sum in the Morning & 4 Million Now!
2012-01-15 08:42:02
“Lau Sar Bao” (Flowing Golden Custard Bun) – Rich, golden hue infused with goodness (or sin, depending on how you look at it) of salted egg yolk; encased in a pillowy soft bun. The runny fillings would need some tight maneuvering in case you’re sharing a piece with another. Now, I have never been really [...]

Down in the Slumps? No problemo. Talk to Motormouth, and guaranteed you’ll get the BEST response. Ever. “EAT TIL YOUR GUT BURST!” Or maybe not.

Sharing A Divine Christmas Feast @ Indulgence Restaurant, Ipoh
2011-12-20 06:42:37
What does Christmas mean to you? Is this a season for gift-exchange? A time to shop and let there be forgiveness if you overspent, for the desire to shop-til-you-drop is ingrained into the X’mas spirit of celebrations anyway? Or are you already salivating at the thought of fresh roasted meats from the spit; a gigantic [...]
