A hot bowl of Prawn Mee always makes for a deliciously satisfying lunch. Apparently, a stall at O&S Restaurant in Paramount Garden has built up a fine reputation for serving the tastiest Prawn Mee in the area. So to satisfy our cravings Fidel Gastro, SekSun and myself paid it a visit.A standard bowl of Prawn Mee here comes with small shrimp, half a hard-boiled egg, and lots of fried onions,

Any self-respecting person will know that the only decent breakfast dish on a Sunday morning is dim sum, or bak kut teh. Last weekend, I had a craving for the former. When I think of dim sum, I think of Sri Petaling. This place I went to has been there for quite some time now and is always very crowded. If you go after 12 noon it is likely that they would have run out of some of their more

Following up on the previous Char Kuey Teow review from PJ Old Town. Let me bring you to Penang where most people may already know this Penang cuisine is famous for its road side hawker foods. We bring you to another Char Kuey Teow stall at Lorong Selamat, Penang. As you can see, this is no ordinary Char Kuey Teow stall. For a whopping RM7.50 it is the most expensive Char Kuey Teow I have eaten

Ni Hao! Tongue of Fury here with probably one of the most personal review I will ever do for MFR. This is a place I have been visiting since I was a 7 year old child. It is a place where old men gather to talk (most of the time bitch) about culture, politics and Arthritis. It is a place where people wait 45mins or more for the Char Kuey Teow and have no complaints. I loved the Char Kuey Teow back

By now most of you would've heard the shocking news of the passing of one of television's most memorable personalities. Yes, the Crocodile Hunter is dead - floored (or should I say, sunk) by a Stingray barb. He's entertained us, educated us, and made us all sound like idiots when we tried to imitate his catchphrases. So I felt compelled to pay tribute to this great man..... by having stingray for

This restaurant has been around for ages. This place is so famous that I haven’t met anyone who has not been there. Just in case there are some of you out there you have not been here, and have no idea where it is, it is near the Saint Francis Xavier Church along Jalan Gasing, and also very near the Federal Highway.

It was a lazy sunday. I actually decided with my friends that we will be going for a haircut in some saloon located in Aman Suria. It was said that the hair stylists there were pretty gals clad in mini skirts, oh well so we thought to go and check it out :p We didn't have lunch yet, so upon arriving in Aman Suria's precinct, we thought to go for a quick lunch. There is a shop called Sun Yun Long

Across the street from the bean sprout chicken triangle, we spotted a small little shop serving tau foo fah and soya bean drinks. Where is it?

This well hidden restaurant was recommended to me by a friend. According to him, it serves the best pan mee he has ever had. With such a glowing testimonial, how could I resist? So I took down detailed directions and went on my journey. My co-pilot was Smoking Salmon.

I was alerted to this place by a friend of mine who told me that it is much better than my regular place, Restoran Sem Kim. Being a disloyal piece of crap, I naturally tried it out. Upon arriving at the shop at around 1am, I noticed that the shop was very crowded. That is always a good sign. So being stupid, I got all excited about it. I ordered my regular pork ribs with no mushrooms and no

We decided to take it easy and have some common dishes at night, after our exciting adventure at Lawan Kuda. We are always told, Ipoh has the best bean sprout chicken and kuey teow. So we decided to try it out for dinner. The famous Lou Wong in Ipoh has already exported this dish to KL with multiple branches around Klang Valley. Being the anti-favourites, we decided to try out Onn Kee instead.

Pork Porridge – Old Town, Petaling JayaG-jap-jok (猪杂粥) or pork porridge is a traditional Chinese delicacy. There is a good one in Old Town Petaling Jaya. The place doesn’t have a name, so I’ll provide an address: Pusat Penjaja Seksyen 1/12 Selara Jati, Petaling Jaya.This porridge stall started out in the 1960s at the Old Town bus station, and was run by 2 brothers. They then shifted to their

Here's where things started to get really weird. A sizzling hot plate was brought out and we were all about to get our first taste of Pig's breast, accompanied by Pig's liver. Despite never having eaten this before, Bottomless Pit started explaining how rare this dish was, as you had to catch a female pig who had just given birth. Yes, i'm aware that it sounds extremely cruel, but there it was in

Bottomless Pit has spoken fondly of his Anteater dish for so long, that we simply HAD to give it a go. So after a few wrong turns, we arrived at Restoran 668 in Lawan Kuda, Gopeng. The restaurant itself was an unremarkable outdoor Chinese establishment. The waitress pleasantly informed us that their stock of anteaters and wildcats had run out, and even raccoons were unavailable much to Bottomless

I stumbled upon this restaurant one hot Sunday afternoon while looking for a place to eat where I won’t be drenched in sweat. There are not many stalls here, and the one dish that caught my eye was the pork ball noodles, mainly because of the bright green vegetables on top of it.So I ordered a Pork Ball Yee Mee with egg and I didn’t have my hopes up as I had not heard any good reviews about the

While my fellow writers were away without me, I drove down to OUG to try a curry mee dish that was recommended by a friend. The curry mee here is supposed to be quite famous according to, well, 1 person. I found it to be pretty average, but I guess that is because I used to have the most beautiful, lovely curry mee ever at Petaling Street. Unfortunately, that nice old lady decided to retire and

While waiting for the team to sort out the the Ipoh and Penang trip reviews, I've decided to check out a very old and famous dish in the Petaling city area. This SeaFood Porridge at Kan Heong Coffeeshop in New Town PJ has been around since my father was my age and that's some 30+ years back. There is no sign on the restaurant, just a small wooden sign with Chinese characters stating it's name.For

Char Kuey Teow is the staple food for Malaysians. It is synonymous with Malaysian Chinese just like how Nasi Lemak is to Malays, and Thosai is to Indians here in Malaysia. This dish is said to originate from the Nothern state of Penang. Many years later, it is found in every nook and cranny of a restaurant, from posh hotel ones down to your neighbourhood coffee shoppe.

This Chicken Rice is very well known, perhaps because this restaurant has been around for a very long time. My paragraph on service later will give you an idea of how long this place has been around, but first, let me tell you about the chicken rice. I would rate the chicken rice here as slightly above average. The chicken itself is quite tasty but it is in no way filling. Even after eating a

The trouble with working in Damansara Heights, is that there just aren't enough Chinese coffee shops to go around. So after doing some digging, I was alerted to the busy but rather ineptly named Restoran Shangri-La on Jalan Batai. Nestled within a small block of shops in a parking lot, this place, along with the 2 other coffee shops on the block is a haven for many Chinese workers from Pusat

When it comes to Bak Kut Teh, this has to be one of the best. The main pull of this place is the soup, of which you have 2 choices; you can pick either the darker, stronger soup, or if you are feeling weak or are female, you can go for the lighter soup. For those of you who are BKT noobs, the darker soup is called “Hak Thong” (pictured above) and the not so dark soup is called “Mou Hak Thong”.
