Passion for Malaysian food. Thursday, February 27, 2014. A friend mentioned this place to me. I had no idea it existed even though it is quite near to where I live. It was my wife's birthday and we decided to give the place a go. A couple of days before that we drove around the area looking for the restaurant. It took us awhile to find it. No Memphis would be without Elvis. And sure enough, he was there. But of course. She said one of them was rather small and she would only charge us for 3. Why? Anyway,...

Passion for Malaysian food. Monday, January 27, 2014. This is one of the oldest Chinese restaurant in Kuala Lumpur. Sek Yuen is located along Jalan Pudu - about 5 minutes drive from the demolished Pudu Prison. The restaurant has 2 premises. The original restaurant is housed in its own single storey building. It was established in 1948. At 65 years old, this is truly the grand old man of KL. Both Sek Yuens are owned by the same management. There are kitchens in both premises. The kitchens apparent...This ...

Passion for Malaysian food. Thursday, May 22, 2014. Lara Djong Grang, Jakarta. I was in Jakarta for a brief one-night trip recently. There I met up with Kevin, Ganesh and Joel. That evening after we did what we had to do, we went out looking for makan. Kevin whipped out his mobile phone and Waze-guided the taxi driver to a restaurant he had found in the Internet. They had a big collection of beautiful artefacts. I do not if they were all Indonesian in origin. Besides the main dining halls, there were sma...

Passion for Malaysian food. Monday, July 28, 2014. The restaurant picked was a Thai in Aman Suria, Petaling Jaya. When this place was suggested, I immediately remembered My (Thai) Elephant. That I had featured in my blog way back in 2010. That Elephant was in Section 17, PJ. I did not know that the restaurant had prospered and expanded - with branches, not only in Aman Suria but also in Sri Hartamas, K.L. The papaya salad had shredded unripe papaya with garlic, chilli padi, peanuts and the usual Thai stu...

gila makan: Pepper Pork Chop
http://gila-makan.blogspot.com/2015/01/pepper-pork-chop.html
Passion for Malaysian food. Saturday, January 17, 2015. It's been quite a while since I last featured a recipe in my blog. Today I share with you on how to do an awesome pepper pork chop. We start with some nice pork steaks. I think best part of the pig for chops is the shoulder. The pork shoulder steaks pictured below were from Jaya Grocer (non-halal section). They were fresh, nicely cut and reasonably priced. First, we brine the meat. Brining. Until it is like so. The outcome is a gorgeous juicy chop.

gila makan: Gyukingu Japanese BBQ

Passion for Malaysian food. Monday, January 26, 2015. It was cousin Chew's birthday and he asked us out for dinner. Rightfully we should had treated the birthday boy to the meal. But he was the host instead, the reason being we had no idea that it was his day. He asked us out and we gladly went along. The place he took us to was a Japanese BBQ restaurant in Kota Damansara. Known as Gyukingu (牛大王 or Beef King), it is located on the first floor above the Al Rajhi Bank on Jalan PJU 5/17. And eaten with fres...

Passion for Malaysian food. Wednesday, August 27, 2014. J and D Espresso. All day breakfast joints are apparently quite in vogue. This is my 5th western breakfast features after Antipodean. Last weekend, we were at the Empire Shopping Gallery in Subang Jaya. As we parked our car in the open air parking lots, I noticed this cafe Jibby and Co., which was packed with a breakfast crowd with people queueing outside to go in. Are people really that crazy about western brekkies? And the usual long black for me.

Passion for Malaysian food. Wednesday, April 23, 2014. Crystal bought a couple of Chicago pork rib meals from Groupon. As with all Groupon offers, it was supposed to be a good deal. So off we went to Chicago. They have only 3 outlets in Malaysia. One of them is in Penang and the other in Cheras. We picked the most logical one - in 1-Utama Shopping Centre, which is located on the 1st floor of the new wing. First on our table was this seafood spaghetti. The flavour was good. There were generous por...The r...
