Scrumptious Saturday Vol. 8: A walk through Chinatown Kuala Lumpur

April 14, 2012 Paris B 36 Comments

I didn’t eat anything interesting this week so I decided to take you on a short little walk through the area we in Kuala Lumpur call Chinatown. Its also known affectionately as Petaling Street because that’s where its located; and used to be where the Chinese traders would set up shop. Some of the good food around KL originated here. These days, things are a little different down there, but it is still an interesting place to walk about in.

I was there only for a little while, playing with my camera and if it wasn’t so hot (note to self: Midday is not a good time for photo taking!) I would have taken more and better shots. As it stands, since it was so hot anyway, lets cool down with a must stop area of Chinatown ;)

Scrumptious Saturday Vol. 7 : As easy as A-B-C!

Cooking should be as easy as A-B-C. That might explain this easy, quick and importantly, delicious soup found in many Chinese households. I don’t know if this is particular to just here in Malaysia or if Chinese living in other countries make a similar dish – do pipe up if you do, I’d love to know! :D

This is what we call A-B-C soup. Not very sure why, but tell anyone ABC Soup and they’ll probably know what you’re talking about. I love this for its simplicity, taste and because some days just call for soup!

Scrumptious Saturday Vol. 6 : Paper Wrapped Goodness

I had a bit of craving during the week for paper wrapped chicken. It is quite literally as the name implies – marinated chicken, wrapped in paper and fried.

I’ve tried a few places, but the one I usually end up going to because I like the taste of theirs is at Soo Kee Mee, at their original stall in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, in a corner coffee shop, under a big tree :D

Scrumptious Saturday Vol. 5 : Express Japanese at Sen-Ya

March 24, 2012 Paris B 30 Comments

I enjoy eating Japanese food – who’s with me? :D I’m always on the look out for good Japanese restaurants but sometimes, I don’t feel like sitting down too long waiting for my food, or I just want a quick take away. Here’s one of the places I like to go to – Sen-Ya at Isetan KLCC.

I’ve been there a couple of times. It isn’t gourmet Japanese food, but its quick, not too pricey, and hits the spot. I was there just yesterday when I went to check out the reopening of the new Isetan KLCC beauty floor (its really impressive now!) and stopped for a quick lunch after *ahem* a spot of shopping :D
