Celebrating our anniversary at the Miraku Japanese Restaurant

I haven’t had time till now to get the tonnes of pictures I took of the places we went to eat over the weekend organised and ready to be put up here. If you don’t know already, we are Japanese food fans so naturally, we chose to go to a Japanese restaurant to celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary.

Since we’ve never tried the Miraku Restaurant over at G Hotel, we went there for their set lunch.

The ambiance is very warm and cosy. The decor, simple and elegant.

Taking a boat ride for exceptional seafood in a quiet fishing village

Firstly, I’d like to apologise for my lapse in updating this blog when I’ve been quite consistent in updating this blog regularly. It’s out fifth wedding anniversary and I had taken time off (from work and from blogging) to spend more time with my Personal Chef/ The Food Critic and Mr Picky.

It is amazing to think that I’ve been together with my Personal Chef for a decade, half of it getting to know each other and another half as husband and wife. We’ve been through a birth of a child, two deaths, heart-stopping moments, terrible illnesses, through bad . . . → Read More: Taking a boat ride for exceptional seafood in a quiet fishing village

A Christmas-themed Thanksgiving lunch at The Brasserie

I know, this post is a bit late but I didn’t have time to load the photos (and trust me, I’ve got LOADS of photos) until now.

Anyway, Thanksgiving is very much an American tradition so over here in Malaysia, we don’t really celebrate it or even know much about it. Still, some establishments seemed to get into the whole Thanksgiving spirit and so, I got invited to a Thanksgiving lunch at The Brasserie at Traders Hotel.

I’ve only been to this restaurant a few times in my life (mostly because I couldn’t really afford to eat there all . . . → Read More: A Christmas-themed Thanksgiving lunch at The Brasserie

Great homecooked food at the Senior Citizen Association’s cafetaria

The Senior Citizen Association’s cafetaria is well-known for its Roti Babi, Spring Rolls and several other dishes for quite a long time already. In fact, The Food Critic brought me to this place more than a decade ago and now, finally, I have a chance to share their great food with everyone else!

Now, although the cafetaria has signs proclaiming ‘member only’, it is open to the public. So, you don’t have to be a senior citizen who’s a member of the association to eat there. I may not be . . . → Read More: Great homecooked food at the Senior Citizen Association’s cafetaria

Cheap and good yam rice along busy Lebuh McNair

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

The Koay Teow Th’ng stall tucked in a small coffee shop along busy Magazine Road

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.

Dinner at a restaurant inside a house

For Penangites who frequently eat in Pulau Tikus area, I am sure they would have heard about Top Top Restaurant which used to be at a shop along the main road of Burmah Road.I remember it used to be quite swanky (at least by my student days standard) and eating there was considered a luxury. The food is also quite good.

That was quite a long time ago and then one day, they closed down. I didn’t know what happened to them until in recent years, I heard that they are operating out of their home in the same . . . → Read More: Dinner at a restaurant inside a house
