Hong Kong: Tonkichi Tonkatsu Seafood, Causeway Bay

Nowadays, it’s rare for me to order any fried food, but my ultimate weakness has to be Tonkatsu (breaded, deep-fried pork cutlet). It’s something that I used to always order whenever I visit a Japanese restaurant. I even had a regular one in Melbourne for a while, though unfortunately this cafe has since closed down…

Celestial Court All-You-Can-Eat Dim Sum

Celestial Court has been voted the Best Chinese food in Klang Valley more than once, and it’s really not surprising at all. It’s even more well-known for its offering of creative Dim Sum. Chef Ken Liew, described as person with an inquisitive mind, always eager to learn new things and thus benefiting all diners visiting…

Japan AFF – Toripaitan Ramen (Marutama Ramen Copycat)

Over a year ago, I took up a challenge and made Tonkotsu Ramen at home. Needless to say, I spent hours and hours going in and out of the kitchen as I didn’t have a pressure cooker yet at the time. My Tonkotsu Broth itself took over 8 hours to cook and I imagine my…

Oktoberfest @ Souled Out, Sri Hartamas

Oktoberfest is back! I had my virginal Oktoberfest experience last year and had heaps of fun. This year, my schedule is rather crazy but I dedicated at least one night to attend one of the parties organised by Guinness Anchor Berhad at Souled Out, Sri Hartamas. It was also a small extension of my birthday…

Japan AFF: Okonomiyaki

Some twelve years ago when I first moved to Melbourne, Daimaru was one of the biggest Japanese Chain right in the CBD. To be specific, it used to occupy the majority of Melbourne Central. Why did I bring a shopping centre into this picture? Well, anyone still remembers the Okonomiyaki they used to serve at…

Pink Ribbon Pasta

Ahhhhh… October, the best month of the year! Ok I’m a little biased because I happen to be an October baby. That aside, many exciting things happen in October: Oktoberfest, Halloween, My birthday (sorry I had to), and of course: Pink October for Breast Cancer awareness. Did you know that 1 in 8 Women will…

Frangipani: New Executive Chef, New Menu with a Spanish flair

*Cough* *cough* Sorry for the lack of recipe post, I’m down with the most annoying thing: dry cough. That’s what happens when I neglect my immune boosters (and also eating out too much, not taking in enough nutrients) and it comes back to bite me firmly on my throat. Needless to say all I have…

Nook’s MIGF 2013 Menu

Malaysia International Gourmet Festival (MIGF) is back with an interesting theme “Cool Chefs – Cooking with attitude”. Having missed out on the Taste MIGF due to work commitment, naturally I was excited to receive an invitation to try the MIGF menu at Nook, joining the festival for the very first time. This menu is extra…

Roasted Cauliflower – The Pioneer Woman

The ‘star’ featured this month for Cook Like A Star bloghop is Ree Drummond, more commonly known as The Pioneer Woman. I first come across her blog few years ago when I was only starting to get into cooking and sharing food posts online. The way she narrates her stories, the photographs she takes, and…

Time to NOSH again

After being wowed by their July/August’s specials, I did mention that I will have bring Frank with me to Nosh. To reward ourselves after working like crazy the past weeks (or for Frank the past months), we finally had the chance to do our little date night/early Birthday dinner for Frank on Tuesday night (Happy…
