The current ripple of new Malaysian restaurants opening in Sydney has been welcomed with open arms. My open arms. Petaling Street, More More Cha and Jaya Malaysian to name a few. I’m yet to get to those places but I did drop by Nonya by Ginger & Spice a couple of weeks back when Chinatown was in [...]

Google “New York best soup dumplings” and you soon realise that many of the results show Joe’s Shanghai Restaurant; the name just keeps popping up everywhere. After a lot of review reading my own consensus was formed that Joe’s was definitely on the cards as a must visit in New York City. Yes, it was only a matter [...]

I couldn’t even begin to imagine how many eating places there are in this little town of ours where I’ve walked past a million times and thought I’d stop to try “one of these days”. It just never seems to happen, until now. I’ve extracted the finger and finally made an effort in what I hope is the [...]

Anyone that follows my food trail would know by now that the love affair I have with dumplings runs pretty deep. It’s funny that it has taken me this long to blog about yum cha, something that’s all about the dumplings and something I actually haven’t done for several years. All I can do is hang [...]

I’ve got to say, us Sydneysiders should consider ourselves spoilt when it comes to having a sizeable and vibrant Chinatown in the middle of our city, especially when you wander the streets in Londons Soho and discover the Chinatown there is comprised of just a few streets and city blocks. It’s so small you could [...]

It doesn’t take long to realise that KL has its fair share of coffee shops, or shall I say kopitiams, tucked under buildings, down alleys and in shopping centres. These wonderful places not only offer a vast range of kopi but it’s also somewhere you can hang out and chow down on an array of delicious hawker fare or start your [...]

A visit to Kuala Lumpur for the average tourist isn’t complete without dropping by the famed Petaling Street market in Chinatown, a crowded and claustrophobic shopping mecca offering bootleg products from cheap Bvlgari watches and perfume to Nike footwear that will probably start falling apart a few months after wearing them. Some like it, some don’t and this pair of tourists isn’t really [...]

You say China Noodle King I say Lanzhou Noodles What’s this place actually called? The sign on the awning says China Noodle King whereas the one hanging under the awning says Lan Zhou Handmade Beef Noodle. It’s difficult to keep track. About five years ago the noodle joint that occupied this space was friendly and family-run and [...]
