I first had my Vietnamese subway/sandwich in Melbourne, in a town called Footscray. I still remember the whole scene of when I was in Melbourne. Anyways, back to reality here in Kuala Lumpur, for someone who has been craving for Vietnamese sandwich (aka Bahn Mi), I decided to take the risk to try it here in KL. Honestly, it came to a surprise that there's this place in Damansara Uptown which serves quite good Vietnamese sandwich. I often patronize this place, and would say I'm quite a frequent customer to this place. Recently, they just opened their second branch in One Utama. O' Terriyaki  For those who do not fancy pork, you can try the O' Terriyaki which consists of Terriyaki marinated chicken with all the vegetables you get in your usual Vietnamese sandwich. For example, the pickled vegetables was just great. Do remember to add as much as Sirracha chili sauce for that "kick". For chicken Vietnamese sandwich here in OBahnMi, I would prefer to opt fo...

Finding myself in the streets of Melbourne, yet again coming back with a bloated tummy filled with Thai cuisine. Jinda Thai is a fairly new Thai cuisine restaurant in Melbourne which I remembered it wasn't ready when I was still a student back in Melbourne days. After more than a year leaving Melbourne, I finally went back for a short trip to catch up with some good ol' mates.  Yes, of course, when you are in Melbourne, nothing much you can do besides eating and enjoying the "four seasons a day" weather. Jinda Thai was clearly spiking through the culinary industry in Melbourne through the word of mouth. So, while I was in Melbourne, I thought to myself "Why not? Melbourne never fails me when it comes to cuisine".. When I first stumbled upon Jinda Thai with the help of GPS, I was surprised to know that it was tucked in the back alley in North Richmond, right next to the Thai Supermarket which I used to buy food from, on several occasion. My advice is...

Been out and about, cruising my way through Melbourne town.. Yet again, another food post in Melbourne.  UNIVERSAL ITALIAN RESTAURANT If any of you have been to Melbourne, you would probably know the "Little Italy" in Melbourne. Or rather "Italian Street" that some may call it. It's basically a whole street of Italian restaurants, ranging from reasonable price up until high-end price. It's the street where you would find managers/owners of the restaurant, stepping outside their very own restaurant, trying to lure you into their restaurant. Three years in Melbourne, I have walked that street many times, and I have tried several Italian restaurants along that street. However, I still find Universal Italian Restaurant more to my liking, and it was much reasonable compared to the others.  Reason why I love Universal Italian Restaurant is because of its Chicken Schnitzel. I find that no other place has done its glory as great as Universal's. For s...

When I first heard that Melbourne has a wide variety of eateries in terms of the different kind of cuisine(s) they have, I couldn't believe a single word of it....not until I experienced it myself. I stayed in Melbourne for 3 years and everything changed my perspective of Melbourne itself(especially the eateries). As a person who loves Thai cuisine, a person whom doesn't mind just having Thai food everyday.. Melbourne's Thai food hits that notch on my "tasty-buds" journey. I know probably a number of you readers would probably wonder. ."What?! Melbourne?! Thai?! You've got to be kidding." No, fellow readers! I'm not kidding at all! Melbourne do have great Thai food cooked by the native Thai themselves. FOMO Thai is a fairly new Thai restaurant in Melbourne as compared to other Thai restaurants like YingThai or Thai on Elizabeth Street. I did not even stumble upon FOMO, it was recommended by my Thai friend who is living in Melbourne.. FOM...

Before I begin rambling about Riblee's, let's be honest here.. I have never heard of this restaurant not until I browsed through Groupon Malaysia. Groupon is an amazing platform to get to know any restaurant (from a diner perspective), and also a great platform for small restaurants to get known in the eateries market. I always seem to be spending my free time looking at Groupon, in hopes to pick up some great deals. Nevertheless, Riblee's full rack pork ribs, offered at RM 55 caught my attention right away. I was contemplating whether to purchase the voucher as I have never heard of this restaurant. But fred not, Google is always there to help me decide. Having Google-d the restaurant, it appears to be quite popular with recommendation on TripAdvisor too. So, I thought to myself... in just few seconds... BAM! Bought it straight away! Riblee's has been operating close to 8 years with a year in Taman Megah, which they then moved to Desa Sri Hartamas thereafter. The...

Situated in the outskirts of Kepong, somewhere along the factory area, appears to have one of the best Thai(s) I've tasted in KL itself. I have yet to wander around other places in search of good Thai food. This Thai restaurant is operated by a Thai guy who does not only converse in Thai, but also in Cantonese, Mandarin, and somewhat Hokkien too. Just amazed by the number of lingo the owner could speak. Food itself, speaks wonders.  Tom-Yam Soup Enriched with spicy flavours and seafood. Those that do not have a high-chili tolerance, I would very much avoid from ordering this. The tomyam soup has a strong pungent kick to it. Great flavours but not a "wow" factor for me. Thai Style Otak-Otak It was my first time seeing "Otak-Otak" served in a coconut shell. When I first tried the Otak-Otak, it was a great twist to the usual Malaysian Style Otak-Otak. Was flavoursome but the second time I tried, the Otak-Otak was a little too watery. I guess it lack...
