Some days you just gotta comfort yourself. Curry chicken mee hoon . Reminds me of my mum’s curry. She doesn’t cook much these days. Fried egg with runny yolk. Reminds me of college days, when budget was extremely tight and eggs are consumed abundantly. Bubur caca . Reminds me of a time when taking a dessert break made […]

I Miss You In The Morning (Sarawak Laksa @ Chong Choon, Kuching)
I’d fly to Rome just to know what pasta is “supposed to” taste like. Limited by such trivial constraints such as time and money, I’ve not been able to do it. Yet.

Grace My Feet With Old and New
Most guys tend to think that nobody really pays attention to a person’s shoes. Girls would nod in agreement when I say this assumption is far from the truth. As for me, I’m a bit of a girl in this sense. I always notice shoes. Every time someone walks by, no matter what I’m doing, […]
What I’m Really Here To Say
I’m not here to announce that Crocs has reopened their Mid Valley Megamall concept store as the biggest one in South East Asia.

Kashmir Cafe @ SS3, Kelana Jaya
Posted on June 6, 2010 by marcky My fondest memory of banana leaf restaurants date back to my days as a student, when I was poor, greedy, and weighed a jumbo 108kg. I’d intentionally skip breakfast and have a late lunch, to get the best bang for buck with the free flow of rice and vegetables that’s implicit […]
