I love Thai food so much that I even went schooling in Thailand just to learn how they prepare each cuisine. I went back in AZ and cooked thai food to all of my friends and family. Gladly, that they liked it.

In our quest to find good food in KL (like we always do), my friends and i recently patronized a unique makan place in Ampang. Someone we knew told us bout this place and we decided to try. I must admit... we've never tried something like this in town. To put it in simple words - Unique, Healthy, Reasonably Priced, and most importantly Sumptuous. I simply loved their braised minced meat which they use in their servings of rice and noodles. And need i mention the home made noodles...

Now, the MUST TRY items:
1. Braised Minced Meat Rice (Pretty much like Taiwanese food)

The star of Secret Recipe, and the award winner - Irish Lamb Stew is something that you would not want to miss especially when you have a craving stomach. Tender lamb shank slow cooked with seasonal vegetables and fresh herbs, served with baked mashed potatoes and bun priced at RM21.50 that is enough to feed to two person if you just a small eater.

Here is some of the awards that they had gotten

Have you ever wonder, what do people eats in other country. How much do they spent to satisfied their craving stomach and what culturally diverse families eat for a week. This is what photographer Peter Menzel and creative team do on their visit to 30 families in 24 countries for 600 meals in all.

Since I discovered a gem early this year, namely Restoran Kam Hin, in Kuchai Lama, dim sum has been a very satisfying, enjoyable, accessible, and truly affordable affair. Every fortnight or so, I will faithfully made my pilgrimage to the dim sum shrine to feast on those little delicious things.

I think I went there a total of three times for the past 5 weeks, with different people. And I am not even the most fanatic supporter of this restaurant, as my cousin brother, Michael, frequents this place more often that going to the toilet! Truly their best customer, by miles if you ask me.

Singapore Sling, is a cocktail that i think probably you have heard of. It is originated from Raffles Hotel in Singapore by Hainanese-Chinese bartender, Mr. Ngiam Tong Boon sometime around 1910.

This is something that i found interesting during my visit at Singapore, when we were stopped by at a restaurant for dinner, and the waiter asked what we want to drink. My singapore colleague said "Anything", and me go like what? How could she said something like that.

So check it out, this is the "anything" that she ordered.

If you like curry and also you just happened to be in Singapore, IOI Plaza then you should check out the Curry Fish at the Ah Mei Restaurant. I would rate it 3.8 out of 5 and the curry chicken also pretty decent. It is nice although just eating it with white rice. During my stay at singapore, we have gone three times to this place. btw it is priced at SG4

Hui Yin's sister and her hubby were craving for good seafood, but we were also reluctant to travel all the way to Teluk Pulai. So instead, we drove all the way down to Kelana Jaya, to the now famous King Crab Restaurant. Reached there at around 9:30pm, was past standard dinner time, so finding a parking spot was not hard at all.

Here's the part 2

This is simple step, remember the meat at part 1?

Here our's deco, tomato. it was my sis idea. keep scrolling and you will see the outcome.

This is what we did on the 12 May 2007, mother's day . I have suggested to my sister to cook a dinner for mum. The reasons are mother's day is getting commercialize so eating out on that day going to be expensive and it going to be so crowded with people. Further, we could experience how it feel like to perpare and cook the food everyday.

Here we are today, some boiled chicken rice from ipoh located right in SS2. This boiled chicken is pretty good, i would rate it 3.8 out of 5.

Picture of the crowd in here.

The taiwanese food search had continued, and now i had found some good taiwanese food that worth talking and i liked. First will be the pork chop, try it now or regret later. The pork chop comes with certain noodles but if you were to just order the pork chop, it is extra rm4.00. (i felt that it is a little expensive for that little portion)

This is the one i ordered the "chap choi" noodles, it tastes really good after you put in all the red chillies that come with the noodles. Not denying the chillies here is good.  

I have been traveling to port dickson quite often these days, so every time when i came without fail this will be my lunch. This is kinda new dish in Malaysia, so far i have not seen many places sell this and i am sure in this coming year it will be very famous. This is the first curry chicken bun i have tasted, so no comparison i can't make but this is good. All my colleagues who came here got addicted with the curry chicken bun.

If you happen to have a chance to visit Ipoh, I think Ipoh Parade will be a place that is best for you to shop here. This place is actually the hot spot for most of the youngster cause it is located at the center of a few secondary schools. This place is famous for shopping no doubt but how about the restaurants they have inside? If you are looking for something local, I would like to recommend Easy House cafe to you. It is located at the roof top of Ipoh Parade.

I took this picture quite some time already. It was around Christmas time, I went there with my parents. I can still remember, it was a memorable family day. What we had that day were as below
