Tasty without being fancy

Posted on December 10, 2011 by zakiah@themalaysianinsider.net

PETALING JAYA, Dec 10 — For the past week I have been to a wedding dinner in a hotel, lunch at the same place and a birthday dinner that had food from a caterer. So I can be forgiven for wanting to eat something with a home-cooked touch, and is tasty without being fancy. Ben Tdi Wei at Centrepoint in Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya, comes to mind. … Continue reading →

McEwan turns up the heat in KL

Posted on October 10, 2011 by

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 10 — Mark McEwan played to a quiet audience in the Ritz-Carlton in Kuala Lumpur last week. It was raining outside, and the Canadian chef, restaurateur and entrepreneur, did not feel the heat at all, even if he was cooking two things at the same time — a risotto and a beurre blanc or butter sauce. Both seemed complicated but … Continue reading →

A chance to be pampered… totally

Posted on October 1, 2011 by

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 1 — I have had some of my best gourmet experiences at the Chalet at Hotel Equatorial Kuala Lumpur. It was where I learnt to eat raclette, a Swiss cheese, with new potatoes, pearl onions and pickles. I still remember the lovely aroma of the cheese melting on the salamander that hits you when you enter the restaurant. It’s still on … Continue reading →

What’s in a name? A lot!

Posted on September 9, 2011 by

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 10 — We were set to complete our trilogy of Sichuan restaurants with Xin Dong Tong in Pudu, Kuala Lumpur, when we discovered it was really a Hunanese restaurant. (We had already eaten at TKS in Jalan Alor, and ZGM Ramen in Imbi before this.) What’s the difference you may ask? Hunanese food seems more refined and less obvious … Continue reading →
