Roast Paradise Hakka Noodle 烧味天堂客家面 (Home-made Hakka Noodle Recipe)
I had wanted to eat the famous KL-style charsiu siuyoke fan (roast meats with rice) but the hawker told us (in queue) that the charsiu is sold out and the next batch would be available at around 2pm. Many dropped out of the line but I decided to stay after seeing a customer in front … Continue reading
Taste Paradise 味之楼 @ ION
Last Thursday was Grandpa-to-be’s birthday and as I have mentioned he is not adventurous in food – Chinese cuisine, in particular, the Teochew and Cantonese are his main favourites. Thus, it was only natural we picked a Cantonese restaurant to celebrate his special day! Paradise Group’s Concept “Poised as a diners’ paradise for Oriental cuisine, … Continue reading
Hualong Fishhead Steamboat 華龍魚頭爐
We were supposed to meet a day before her birthday but I had overslept! She wasn’t angry leaving a text on WhatsApp, “You must be sleeping. We’ll arrange again.” Who is this sweet lady? Space Donut (SD)! The last time we met was in December, 3 days before my birthday where she gave me a … Continue reading
Meet The Parents @ Imperial Treasure Nan Bei Restaurant 御宝南北小馆
Before I left for Seoul to join Ryan and Valerie on their pre-wedding photography session, a “Meet The Parents” lunch date was fixed on the 28th April 2014, two days prior to our departure.

Birthday Dinner @ Singapore Marriott Hotel
Some say the best part of birthdays are the presents. I agree! Gifts can come in many forms. And my best gift this birthday came in my child’s open expression. I never expected Valerie to do this as she takes after her daddy – a man of few words. I was pleasantly surprised. I’m ecstatic … Continue reading
Birthday Lunch @ Din Tai Fung 鼎泰豐 Wisma Atria
Although we celebrate our gregorian-calendar birthdays annually, traditional Chinese birthdays are usually observed in a grandiose way only on two significant occasions: 1) when a baby turns 1 month old (red eggs and ginger party) and 2) when an adult turns *60 years of age (60th birthday marks one life cycle) or 2a) when the … Continue reading

Victor’s Kitchen – Golden Egg Yolk Lava Bun 黄金流沙包
Oh well, I might as well do one more post on dim sum but this time only one item and a beverage. The west has chocolate lava cake and in the east, we have custard lava buns. The last time I had 流沙包 (liu sha bao) was at Yum Cha (Chinatown) Restaurant and I complained … Continue reading
Yum Cha (Chinatown) Restaurant 飲茶酒楼
We were supposed to have Szechuan food but Ben said he’s allergic to chilli and spices so we went to Yum Cha Chinatown around the corner where we had Dongbei cuisine the other week. I have eaten at Yum Cha before but it failed to impress me this time round. Was it because I have … Continue reading
Escape From Reality @ Feng Bo Zhuang 风波庄
Chi Sao used to go on food trails with his dad and he suggested eating in Chinatown, an area alien to me. I couldn’t ask for more. After meeting him at People’s Park Complex, we crossed the road and took to the alleys meandering until we came to Feng Bo Zhuang, a Kungfu-themed restaurant. The … Continue reading
