Sunday Funday At Section 17, PJ, Again

For the third week in a row, Sunday brunch found us in the heart of Petaling Jaya, specifically in the vibrant food haven of Section 17. This area is a goldmine for food lovers, boasting an incredible variety of delicious hawker stalls, cozy cafes, and fantastic restaurants. Last Sunday’s visit was prompted by my husband’s…

Why I Love Bitter Gourd Soup with Minced Pork and Egg

When it comes to comfort food, few dishes can rival the satisfying warmth of Fu Kwa Fun (bitter gourd noodles with minced pork). In my case, I customize this classic hawker noodle dish to align with my keto lifestyle. I ask the seller to skip the noodles and load my bowl with minced pork, a…

Healthy Low-Carb Tomyam ‘Noodles’

This is my almost zero carbo Tomyam ‘noodles’ ordered from my favorite Thai noodles stall.  The seller (whose wife is Thai) knows what I want and is always accommodating to my special requests.  My ‘noodles’ are the extra big red onion strips and the bowl of Tomyam ‘noodles’ comes with extra minced pork, tomatoes, oyster…

Trip Back To Ipoh (16 – 18 June 2018)

Our stay in Ipoh during the mid-term school holidays this time was a short 3 days 2 nights trip. We couldn’t go back at an earlier date as mum, papa and Roy were still in East Europe. When they returned, it was already the end of the first of two weeks of  school holidays. We…

Saturday Eats ~ 24 March 2018

Saturday breakkie with Drama Queen and Cass was at a neighborhood coffee shop. I had vegetarian food ~ fried noodles with curry vegetables, grilled pumpkin and crispy fried spinach: Wanton noodles for Drama Queen and Hakka noodles for Cass. Ordered only half noodles for each of them. I am controlling their food  portion these days….

Tucking Into Roadside Indian Rojak & Cendol

I have not done this for donkey yonkey years – sitting at the roadside to tuck into a plate of Indian rojak and cool cendol! I can’t even remember when the last time I did this with the hubby. I think it was way before Alycia was born. Now, that’s more than 13 years ago…

Bits & Bops @ Kong Heng Square, Ipoh Old Town

Upon arrival in Ipoh via ETS from KL yesterday, dad and mum brought us to the famed decades-old Kong Heng coffee shop for some famous Ipoh hawkers’ food.  The famous coffee shop was as usually packed to the brim. After a 15-minute wait, we were lucky enough to get a pathetically small-sized table, which obviously…

Ridiculously Expensive Hawker’s Food

This morning after sending Cass to school, I had breakfast with the hubs at a nearby food court.  I have not gone to this food court for many years, albeit we do drive past it everyday.   After walking around the food court for 15 minutes, having a very hard time to decide what to eat,…

Scrumptious Hawkers’ Food

2 Sundays ago, we had some scrumptious hawkers’ food from Paramount O&S coffee shop (take-out). I’ve always wanted to eat at O&S coffee shop but with 3 young kids, the idea of sweating it out while digging into the food at a sardine-packed restaurant with dirty loos always turn the idea off me. So whenever I crave for the hawkers’ food (especially…

Penang Road Famous Cendol and Ice Kacang

We tasted the most famous Penang Road Famous Cendol and ice kacang during our stay in Penang.  When hubs drove to the lane where the stall was, I asked him to drop the idea of getting down the car to join in the looooooong bee line at the stall.  It was scorching hot and we…

Food… Oh Glorious Food

During our recent trip to Penang, the hubs AGAIN traveled round Penang just to get the ‘bestest’ Penang hawkers’ grub. Here are just some of the food that he got (for you to drool on): Char koay teow from Lorong Selamat…. with extra prawns and Chinese sausages. The ‘aunty cook’ who fries the koay teow…

A Pregnant Mummy’s Crave

Today I craved for curry puff and fatt koa, aka Chinese muffins.  So I went to the nearby Chinese kuih stall to buy a gigantic curry puff with lots of chicken, potatoes and eggs as filling (which costs RM1.30 each) and a purple sweet potato fatt koa.  When hubby saw me eating these and sharing the…

Our Sunday

Daddy has to work in the afternoon,  so after church today,  we didn’t eat out.  Was invited by Darrius’ mum (RamblingMoo) to attend Darrius’ 2nd birthday party but unfortunately, couldn’t go as we only have 1 car at home and daddy has to use it.    So daddy packed some of my favorite hawkers’ food from Paramount Garden in…

Lunch Box Unveiled….. Again

This is what’s inside the styrofoam lunch box that my mil packed several days ago – wantan noodles with freshly roasted char siew or barbequed pork. This shop near my house sells very tasty wantan noodles and roasted meat (roasted chicken, roasted duck, char siew, siew yoke and roasted intestines). My hubby and I can…

What’s Inside The Lunch Box… Again

My mil has just bought a packet of delicious food from the coffee shop near our house. It’s 3pm now and it’s the gals’ naptime but with food from mah mah, you think they will drink their milk? No way…. even an adult can’t resist the temptation to have a bite or two of this…
