I usually do not like noodles, especially the yellow-coloured ones most used by hawkers so whenever we eat out, I don’t order noodles but I have one exception and that is the Indian Mee Goreng (Indian fried noodles). Maybe it’s the spiciness of the dish or the sauce or the extremely satisfying taste of mee goreng, whatever it is, I could never resist a good plate of mee goreng.
I remember I had this mee goreng craving during my pregnancy. I would demand for mee goreng for lunch or dinner every single day for the first three months! I . . . → Read More: Really good mee goreng in Tanjung Bungah
Amongst the many vegetables, I don’t really like eating brinjals much. I find it too mushy and soft to my liking. Then, my Personal Chef (aka The Food Critic) found a way to cook it that makes it so delicious, I actually love it!
This recipe for stir-fried spicy brinjal is actually my grandmother’s recipe and after tasting it and learning a few tips from her, my Personal Chef started trying his hand at cooking it. Well, if anything, he aced it. So, this recipe today is partly my Personal Chef’s recipe and partly mine as I try to . . . → Read More: Stir-fried Spicy Brinjal (Eggplant)
About two months ago, I was fast running out of food blogging material and in quite a panic. What am I going to blog about now? I can’t just update the blog once a week. Not when I have established a pattern from the start that at the very least, I’d blog once in every two days here, unlike my personal blog where I blog on a daily basis.
Now, I suddenly have a stockpile of blog posts which I have not written and posted. I have recipes of desserts and main dishes and reviews of food places and . . . → Read More: Cheap and good yam rice along busy Lebuh McNair
I have heard of this famous Koay Teow Th’ng (flat rice noodles soup) stall from friends several times over. I’ve friends who’d go there for breakfast or lunch all the time without tiring of her food. And I wondered why.
You know I am not all that crazy about koay teow th’ng. It is more of The Food Critic’s thing than anything. Still, I was curious.
So, to satisfy my curiousity, I tried out the food there.
Just only recently, I did a review of an Indian restaurant and now I am doing another one, this time, it’s an Indian vegetarian restaurant.
It is not always that I go to a vegetarian restaurant for a meal, not because I have anything against vegetarian food but mainly because of the quality of the food and the tendency for the foods to be swimming in oil. So, I was pleasantly surprised by the exceptionally great food over at Annalakshmi Restaurant in the Temple of Fine Arts. It’s no wonder the restaurant is called the ‘culinary arts centre’.
I have heard good things about Spice & Rice Restaurant and Bar but have never tried it. Numerous times, I’ve passed by the restaurant which is prominently located along Light Street but still, I did not really thought of going there for lunch or dinner. Perhaps the thought of trying to find a parking space is one of those reasons.
Anyway, I made my first visit there recently when a friend suggested we go there as we happened to be in the vicinity and my car is already parked somewhere nearby. So, here’s my review of what I found . . . → Read More: Indian flavours over at Spice and Rice Restaurant and Bar
Being typical Penangites foodie, naturally we’d go looking for some good and interesting food when we went to Koh Samui, Thailand for a short trip. So, what did we eat?
First, we stop at the local market…
The local market near Chaweng
There they sell quite a variety of local Thai food, most of which are grilled or deep fried.

It may seem a bit weird but it actually tasted quite good. After grilling it till it turned brown, they squash it (but did not . . . → Read More: What we ate when in Koh Samui
