Pakistani Stall
May 2008 Fifteen Pakistanis can’t be wrong, or so I thought to myself as my dining companion and I snagged the only empty seats among the three tables fronting a less-than-nondescript stall at the end of Lorong Bunus Dua, off Jalan Masjid Jamek.... -
Little Penang Kafe
April 2008 The lack of empty tables at the Little Penang Kafe tells its own story. This is a popular eaterie. Although you wouldn’t know that from the number of diners remarking that the food in Penang is so much better. And you know what? Th... -
Rain Nudle House
Note: Rain Nudle House has ceased operations until further notice. Our small group really enjoyed lunch at Rain Nudle House in Pavilion (there are some 13 other outlets around KL, including at Suria KLCC). The food was very good, the service excellen... -
Pak Loh Chiu Chow
Pak Loh Chiu Chow serves authentic Teochew dishes and is the sister restaurant of the renowned Pak Loh restaurant. Prices can be on the steep side but but they do serve excellent food. The menu is very comprehensive. -

Nasi Lemak Tanjung Puteri
January 2009 If you are a regular to the Hartamas area, chances are you will have passed this place a thousand times and won’t have given it a second look. This hidden treasure is situated at a corner of a junction but while that is the case, yo... -

Paramount Food Court
November 2008 I set out to review one and one item only at this popular PJ hawker centre, but those plans quickly turned to dust as I entered and beheld the sheer number of Malaysian tasties on offer from too many food stalls to count. The Penang Famo... -
Terrace Cafe
The Terrace Café (in the slick Marriot Hotel) takes you on a culinary journey through local and international fare in the heart of Putrajaya. There’s a daily buffet and a la carte menu for all-day dining. -
Asam Laksa Stall
October 2008 Madras Lane, the dark, dank walkway that cuts through the middle of Chinatown’s wet market, boasts two stalls selling asam laksa. I eat there regularly but have yet to sample the version dished up by the middle stall. Why? Because I... -
.99 Steak and Chop @ TTDI
Quirky name (its dot 99) aside, we are short of complaints for this one. The chicken chop was nice, tender and rather good - an extremely good deal for the price. The roast chicken wings were perfectly roasted and not overcooked; you can tell that the ... -

Maybank mamak
July 2008 No, Maybank has not branched out into the food industry. This mamak has been around for a good four to five years and the reason why almost everyone calls it the Maybank mamak is because of its location: next to a Maybank branch in Seapark, ... -
Portuguese Grilled Fish
This stall is so skilled at what they do that they can tell you the exact time your fish will be ready. So order your choice of seafood and have it grilled together with spicy gravy in an aluminium foil pouch, and then go off to some shopping in Chinat... -
Popeye’s Louisiana Kitchen
May 2009 When a restaurant promises Louisiana Cajun style fast food, I for one expect my meal there to be a hearty blend of creole, cayenne pepper-infused, spicy, fusion food. A nice blend of French, Mediterranean, Spanish and African flavours. Sadly,... -
Bangsar Fish Head Corner
June 2009 Fish head curry is a tricky dish to review. It’s a personal thing; everyone’s got their own likes and dislikes. So let me put it up front: I don’t care for a fish head curry that’s over-the-top lemak. I don’t li... -
Babylon Restaurant
Having opened their second outlet off Jalan Bukit Bintang, Babylon Restaurant's success lies in their Mediterranean cuisine. The menu – coupled with a few Middle Eastern dishes – offers more flexibility to customers who prefer authenti... -
Pinang Masak
April 2009 I have a couple of complaints about this cute little café, and the second follows from the first: there’s nothing on offer here that’s not darned tasty, and there’s too much darned stuff on offer here. Noodles or ri... -
Hong Ngek
Hong Ngek is the stalwart of KL’s Hokkien food scene. Those aiming to really tuck in will want plenty of rice to go with Guiness pork ribs (succulent knobs of meat in a complex russet sauce), the pleasantly tart, thickly battered sweet and sour f...
