It’s been a while since I had dim sum in a proper restaurant. I say this because one can get dim sum in kopitiams and food courts but the mass produced fare tasted nothing close to those of an established restaurant’s Hong Kong-styled dim sum.

The Kim Kee Wanton Mee and Kway Chap meal we had at Block 4A Jalan Batu Market & Food Centre was not bad but it was just ordinary. In my humble opinion, it’s just not worth queueing up for 20 minutes but that’s just me. As evidenced in my recent trip, there were people willing … Continue reading →

Yap was getting pretty excited as the week drew nearer to Adrian’s birthday (who was away in Thailand for his holidays). He WhatsApp me to seek my opinion about a restaurant he saw on Groupon site.

Because of its close proximity and convenience, I had lunch there thrice. I had some repeated items with different friends … Continue reading →
