DINE WITH ME: Hari Raya Day #1


It's a Malaysian holiday today! Selamat Hari Raya to all my Muslim readers. Maaf Zahir & Batin. Since it's a holiday, like others I travel out from the city and goes back to my hometown. 

Welcome to Ipoh, my birth place. One of the tourist attraction - A place of good food , beautiful landscapes, caves and temples. 

However, due to the traffic congestion in town and people crowded most of the foodie paradise, I decided to hunt for my dinner at a less-crowded and quieter place. 

Today's dinner is served in a western way. 

Located at Ipoh Garden East, you'll definitely love the cozy environment. With a reasonable price tag, this is a place you would like to visit besides than the famous Lou Wong Bean Sprouts Chicken - maybe for a cup of coffee nor a piece of macaroon.



Main entrance of Friend's Cafe


I started my dinner with a cup of hot coffee, followed by a mushroom soup as my appetizer. 





Soup is served in a generous portion :)


Bored of having salmon and beef, I decided to order chicken as my main course. Here are two dishes that I've picked from the menu.

Grilled Peri Peri Chicken served 
with Mashed Potatoes


Chicken Burger served with Onion rings



*For your information, all food serve from kitchen are prepared by the owner itself and yes, he is a friendly guy too!

#DINEWITHME: THE PENTHOUSE RESTAURANT & WINE BAR | SS15, SUBANG JAYA (KL)

Whooppsss...I just had my dinner!  What am I doing here? Come on, it's Friday! Let's chill a 'lil - Dinner extended. To be frank, I don't have much time to spend around ever since I've joined an award-winning agency few months ago. Life's pretty hectic everyday, with extreme workload and countless days of overtime.  And just because I have relocated myself to another area, my hangout place changes too. What makes the best option would be the one nearest to my office, with less traffic congestion.  Thanks to my bunch of friends whom always put me on a priority, they make the effort to come to a meeting point near me instead.  I was brought to this restaurant the other day by my friends and I found it quite a waste not to share such an interesting place with all of you.  Let me introduce you to -  THE PENTHOUSE RESTAURANT & WINE BAR. Upon walking in, I was amazed by their simple yet welcoming ambiance. I was ushered in by rows of wine displ...

#DINEWITHME: YUK SOU HIN | WEIL HOTEL (IPOH)

Done with my busy schedules, I finally have the time to sit down and blog about my dining experience at YUK SOU HIN @ WEIL HOTEL (IPOH) which took place about two months ago.  I was being invited by the hotel's PR Team at the first place to drop by and review the dim sum which was spearheaded by their   Hong Kong Master Chef, Mr. Chung Ho Shi but unfortunately I'm unable to attend. Later after that, I visited the restaurant with my mum when I dropped by in Ipoh the other day.  It was a busy morning. We went to the restaurant around 11am without any advance reservation, and it took us about 25 minutes to settle down with a table.  The restaurant was packed with customers that day, due to Public Holiday.  Not my first dining experience at Weil Hotel,  YUK SOU HIN  is the final restaurant to wrap up my adventure at this new hotel besides than  THE DECK  and  TIFFIN .  Bored while waiting, I started to explore around and tappin...

#COOKWITHME: KOREAN CORNBREAD / OKSUSU-PPANG (옥수수빵)

Hands up if you are big fan of #Corn ! Today we are going to make Cornbread, the Korean style - Oksusu-Ppang Oksusu (옥수수)  = Corn  Ppang (빵)  = Bread What is Oksusu-Ppang (옥수수빵) actually?  It is the memory of people who went to school decades before The American government was supporting Koreans' nutrition by sending them tons and tons of cornmeal. Some got the idea to make cornbread out of it and distribute the bread through the school system. After Korean War the school provided this daily snack to the students just before last class was finished. Oksusu-Ppang has an intense corn flavor and it's fluffy like a sponge. Let's start making!  __ CONRBREAD / Oksusu-Ppang  (옥수수빵)  (serves 4 - 6) Ingredients: 2 cups / 280 grams Cornmeal 1 large Egg 1 ½ cup Milk  ½ teaspoon Salt  2 tablespoons White Sugar  1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil 2 teaspoons Baking Powder 1 tablespoon Butter (to grease baking pan) ...
