Delicious Malay cuisine at De.Wan 1958 by Chef Wan @ The LINC, Kuala Lumpur

Restaurant De.Wan 1958 by Chef Wan is quite popular even though it just open its door about 3 weeks ago. Many would like to try the dishes of this popular celebrity chef which I watched his cooking programme on television during my secondary school days. The food served are authentic Malay cuisine with free flow of 3 types of rice. They have white, yellow and egg rice. I personally like their egg rice the most as its very tasty with lots of shallots and dried prawns.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. I like their peanut sauce chicken as the meat is tender and the rich and creamy peanut sauce flavour absorbed into the chicken, makes this dish quite good. The oxtail soup is tasty with strong aromatic of local spices flavour. The soup is thick and the broth is tasty with their rice. The daging rendang Selangor is good but its not that memorable. The meat still not tender enough and this type of rendang is a bit wet. Bubur som som dessert is very good if you like very sweet stuff. I personally like the dessert. But if you don't like sweet, I don't think you will like such super intense sweetness of gula Melaka).
Price:3/10(Expensive. Peanut sauce chicken at MYR32.00, oxtail soup at MYR33.00, daging rendang Selangor at MYR59.00, bubur som som dessert at MYR16.00 and rice at MYR7.00 per person).

I would recommend my fellow readers to try this restaurant if they would like to taste authentic Malay food and to enjoy the good ambiance of the restaurant plus probability of meetup with Chef Wan himself there.


Nice and elegant reception.

Oxtail soup. Aromatic and thick broth that goes very well with their rice.

I less enjoy this daging rendang Selangor as I expected something drier and more tender beef.

Yellow rice and egg rice with oxtail. Yummy.

Jenny Bakery Cookies from Hong Kong

Recently a friend back from Hong Kong brought me this Jenny Bakery cookies. I am quite surprised with the good taste of this cookies especially their butter and coffee cookies. No wonder they dare to claim that they are "A true Hong Kong Treat" and "Probably the best cookies in the world" wow... The cookies is famous for heavy after taste of butter and the shop always has long queue. Their constant change on the packaging design is also the main attraction to their cookies.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. The cookies are very rich, buttery, creamy and crumbly which melts in your mouth. The quality of the cookies is also quite consistent. For first timer, do buy their 4 mix butter cookies with butter flower, shortbread, raisin oat and coffee flower. I personally find that butter flower is the best followed by coffee flower).
Price:4/10(Near expensive. The cookie price at HKD75 for small container of 320 gram and HKD140 for 640 gram).

Bread Talk Golden Lava Croissant @ Pavillion Kuala Lumpur

Bread Talk has join the craze to create everything with salted egg. They have introduced salted egg croissant. Wondering whether this kind of craze is a health disaster especially high sodium and cholesterol content in salted egg.

Hot N Juicy Crawfish @ Las Vegas, USA

This place serve one of the nicest food that I had in Las Vegas. You order the food here by the pound. If you love spicy food, you have to try this place. Do take note that eating at this place can be quite messy. Avoid wearing white clothes or plain shirt. Depending on your tolerance for spicy, you can choose how spicy your food to be. Here they provide you plenty of plastic gloves to eat your food and food comes in bags.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. Do select the flavor as Hot N Juicy. And select the spicy level of one below the normal spicy level that you usually have. Even at mild level, its already spicy. Taste wise it really good especially with the sauce).
Price:6/10(Moderate. The price here is depending on what you order. The best value is the shrimp at USD16.00 for each pound. If you want to splurge, they have lobster and king crab leg at USD31.00 and USD35.00 for each pound respectively).

Signature pork bun from Momofuku @ Las Vegas, USA

Momofuku in Las Vegas is located in Cosmopolitan Resort. They have many branches across America and I missed my chance to try it out when I were in New York previously. This simple restaurant by David Chang has one item which catches everyone attention. Its their pork bun. I do recommend sitting at the counter in front of the kitchen. You can watch the chefs prepare the food and then pick what you think looks good.

Taste:10/10(Excellent. The pork bun is delicious with tender, juicy and melt in your mouth pork belly. Together with cucumber and hoisin sauce, makes a good combination and goes well with the soft flour bun and SSAM sauce. Their grilled lamb ribs is good as well but still can't beat the deliciousness of the pork bun. Similar tender lamb ribs which blends well with yogurt).
Price:4/10(Near expensive. Pork bun at USD7.00 per piece and made to order. Grilled lamb ribs at USD21).


Tasty and delicious pork belly bun. Attached with Momofuku signature flag.

Yung Kee beef noodles @ Pudu, Kuala Lumpur

Probably the best Hong Kong style beef noodles in Kuala Lumpur.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. Satisfied with the meals here. So far they seems to serve the best beef noodles in KL. Portion were good. I tried both version of soup and dry beef noodles and found that dry version taste better. Also their dry version with peanuts which makes the noodles taste better. The meat is soft. The tendon is good and normal beef noodles bowl came with beef balls & tripes. I order extra honeycomb which is very tender and taste good in beef broth. You also have option to add crispy fish skin for tastier option).
Price:6/10(Reasonable. The price depends on what you order. Of course if you are on budget, they have the normal beef noodles price at MYR9 to MYR13. If you like to have luxury kind of beef noodles, they also have A5 Kobe beef noodles at MYR200. For me, I just want to spend a bit more to have their honeycomb which is quite rare in KL).


Beef noodles soup version with everything. Meat, tendon, beef balls and tripe.

Beef honey comb. Quite rare and hard to have it from beef noodles shop in KL.

Delicious nasi lemak burger from myBurgerLab @ Sunway - SamsungPay redemption

myBurgerLab was inspired by the success of a few famous burger joint overseas such as ShakeShack (US), In-N-Out (US), Grill’d (Australia) and GBK (UK). They have done it well and invented many kinds of creative burger flavours that is delicious and with quality ingredients. When the food is good, people don't mind to pay slightly premium for it. The nasi lemak burger that I tried has all the necessary ingredients that a good burger should have. I know the burger is oily, messy and huge, but that is what a good burger should have.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. The nasi lemak burger does taste great. The fried chicken were crispy and juicy. Together with crushed anchovies and peanut butter a good combination. The burger not overly spicy and sambal chicken rendang were fragrant from the first bite).
Price:5/10(Near expensive. The nasi lemak burger priced at MYR18.80. Its not cheap for a burger but the ingredients and quality is awesome. I use my SamsungPay 550 points to redeem the burger so free dinner for me).
