K.R. Mani Curry House

After recently learning how to cook capati and tortilla breads at the FC kitchen, I’ll never understand why a place would choose to precook and then reheat their capatis resulting in a dry and stale flatbread. It’s an extremely simple mix of atta…   More »

Samy Restaurant

Chemor is a sleepy town 25 minutes from Ipoh. If you don’t know what you are looking for, you might just pass by Samy Restaurant with its rustic, worn down blue blinds with the words SAMY RESTAURANT hardly visible in yellow. But looks can be deceiving.…   More »

Spicy Corner

When I heard about a place that delivers banana leaf right to your door I was skeptical. My initial reaction at finding out about Spicy Corner was that banana leaf cannot be as good delivered to your home as when you go out to get it. However, knowing…   More »

E & O

E & O is a fond fish head favourite and even though we were there a little after lunch, there were still tables full of people licking their chops, loosening their belts and generally postponing their return to various office desks where no doubt a curry-sweat…   More »

Nasi Kandar Hj. Ibramsha

At first glance, this restaurant doesn’t give much of an impression, a small typical ‘mamak’ eatery tucked away in the corner of a street. Looking a little closer, I was surprised to see that it was chock full of people. It was as if everyone in…   More »

Om Shakti Chelo

Some evenings after work has slowed down and pre-dusk peckishness settles in, sweet appams are that perfect nibble you can get between tea and dinner, an aperitif of sorts. Om Shakti run by Auntie Chelo is purely vegetarian and is famous for their sweet…   More »

Slap Bang in Bangsar Baru, there's a place that serves great Indian food at decent prices. I thought that they are new, just opened, 'baru buka' but no... they have been around for about 3 years now. What?! where have I been? How come I don't know about…   More »

Nasi Kandar Breakfast

Indian

Nasi kandar has this reputation of being a stewpot of leftover curries and scraps from previous meals whereby some believe the older the curry, the tastier it becomes! Of course this also raises hygiene issues and the mother of tummy upsets! In all honesty,…   More »

Sangeetha Vegetarian Restaurant

The thing about Indian sweets and desserts is that it’s incredibly sweet. It competes head to head with Arabic sweets for ‘Death by Sweetness’. Sweet, sweet, sweet and then a milky, spicy note that makes it slightly confounding for those who don't…   More »

Kari kepala ikan is a dish that I am passionate about because it is a special food exploration activity with your intimate friends and kakis (long do I remember my Saturday lunch adventures with my kari kepala gang...but that’s another story). Problem…   More »
