FollowThis is a throwback post. Sunday, 5 June 2022 ~ Hubs brought us to try a ‘new’ Chinese ‘tai chow’ restaurant – it’s a first try for us but not for him. As catering functions have picked up ever since Malaysia reopened its borders and economic sectors, hubby’s catering business has been making a rebound.…

Legend Seafood Restaurant, Bandar Mahkota Cheras
For weeks hubs had been raving about this Chinese restaurant that he went to a couple of times with his besties at Bandar Mahkota Cheras. This restaurant requires advance booking from their customers before going. If you plan on a walk-in, chances are you’ll be told that they are fully booked. Their dishes are often…
Mother’s Day 2022 – 8 May 2022
As I was typing the title of this post, the date suddenly hit me. It’s the month of May and the anniversary of Cass’ surgery and our 3-week nightmarish stay in Gleneagles Medical Centre (GMC), Penang exactly 13 years ago. The days spent with Cass at GMC were so overwhelming that it’s hard to repress…
Our Talented Teenage Chef
Alycia and I realized that our dear in-house chef has a special preference when it comes to cooking. She seems to really enjoy making sushi/Gimbap and egg rolls. And everything Korean and Japanese! With whatever she can find in the fridge, she has the Midas touch to transform all the ingredients into some very appetizing and…
RMCO Day 53 ~ Saturday, 1 August 2020
I love Saturdays simply because Maria comes in on Saturdays. Maria has been our part-time helper for the last 8 years. She used to come in 5-6 times a week but because we’re on an austerity drive now, a consequence of the MCO and RMCO (and possibly another MCO/restriction order if Malaysians don’t behave and…
RMCO Day 40 ~ Sunday, 19 July 2020
Lunch today was at Seoul Korea, a Korean restaurant run by a Korean couple. Our family consisting a persnickety foodie and two older girls who are K-pop fans and K-food lovers and including moi think that Seoul Korea serve the BEST Korean food. We’d tried almost a dozen Korean restaurants but none compares to Seoul…
RMCO Day 12 ~ Sunday, 21 June 2020 (Father’s Day)
Hubs has been swamped with work for the past two weeks on a project. He’s providing consultancy service to a client to set up a kitchen for a bistro. As the client needs the kitchen to be built in express speed so that it can be ready for the bistro to start business pronto, hubs…
DuJour and Slow Coffee @ The Hub SS2, PJ
Last Sunday hubs took his entourage of girls to The Hub @ SS2. It’s our first visit to this lifestyle residence hub at SS2, PJ. Lush verdure lawn, soothing water features and ample parking spaces are some of the plus points of hanging out at this place on your Sunday afternoon. This hub houses a great…
The Yummiest of 2 Worlds ~ Crème De La Crème’s Artisanal Ice Cream & The Tokyo Restaurant’s Burnt Cheesecake
On my eldest daughter, Alycia’s sweet 16th birthday on 5 December 2019, I took her and her sisters to The Tokyo Restaurant (TTR) @ Lot 10 to sample the launch of something incredibly yummy – the marriage of Crème De La Crème’s artisanal, beautifully-crafted ice creams with TTR’s famed 6th Avenue Cheesecake (burnt cheesecake). This marriage…
Kak Jat Ikan Bakar @ Jalan Bellamy and Vintage 1988
I was itching to taste some Malay food today and hubs brought us to one Kak Jat Ikan Bakar on Jalan Bellamy. There are a few stalls on this road selling the same dishes and specializing in grilled fish. As far as choice of fish goes, you get pari (stingray), kembung, terubok, tilapia, and more. There’re…
Green View Restaurant and Durian Man @ SS2, Petaling Jaya
Youngest SIL treated everyone (immediate family members, aunts, uncles and cousins from the Yaps) to a lavish dinner of sang har (fresh huge prawns) and crabs at Green View Restaurant @ SS2 Petaling Jaya last Saturday (2 November 2019) before her return to Hawaii on Tuesday after a 2-week holiday here. The last time she…
Sinful Sweet Monday
After a sumptuous dinner at Ming Room @ Bangsar Shopping Complex to celebrate mom and dad’s 49th wedding anniversary last night, hubs went shopping for desserts, though we’d just scarfed down so much delish food with dessert of half the anniversary cake, longevity pau and white fungus longan dessert just a moment ago! Our first…
Botanica + Co @ Vertical Podium, Bangsar South
I just realized that tomorrow is Sunday and I still haven’t posted food photos that we took last Sunday when we were at Bangsar South (AGAIN!) for lunch. I have a hunch that the hubs will be going there again for lunch tomorrow, or even for dinner tonight! The bite-list at Bangsar South is replete with…
Rasa Viet By Xin Chao Viet Nam @ The Sphere, Bangsar South
The Sphere is now the foodie hubby’s favorite place to hangout on weekends and public holidays. He likes this place as finding a place to park is a breeze and traffic is not crazy unlike at Mid Valley Megamall or in the heart of KL. Each time we visit, a new restaurant pops out. When…
Random Updates
The littlest one is back to her usual self finally and we’ve started to have our nightly before bedtime light-hearted chats on the bed once again. But as with most cuddly toddlers who turn into tweens and teenagers, she still greets any public display of warmth with revulsion and sullenness. Grown children do not want…
HFM’s Breakfast
The clock is ticking away to the day that Maria, my beloved part-time helper of 7 years goes on a 3-month maternity leave ~ only two more days with us ? Though Maria can’t do much strenuous work lately, we still love having her around in the evening to help us wash the dishes and do…
