Pretty chill, spacious spot, Red Kettle doesn’t just do hearty mains and great bakes. Desserts are solid too! Take the soft serve; the Chocolate’s creamy yet light, though I’m still a devoted fan of the semi-sweet, wholly delicious Vanilla. Good size for an afternoon treat too.
Supplied by the good guys at Carpenter & Cook, this baby sees some seriously good lamination. Love that the flavours are savoury and nutty, though I wish they would’ve given this a toast before serving.
A tad pricey at $8, Glyph’s Ethiopian filter coffee is a funky and rather interesting cuppa. The floral fragrance hits you first, then the crisp but slightly ferment-y flavour. A good one to try!
A steal at RM12, this rice bowl is a stellar example of simple ingredients done well! Granted, it’s a cholesterol-heavy dish loaded with crispy pork lard so go easy on portioning and perhaps share this along with a plate of pasta or something.
Really liked that the minced pork was well-oiled, which created a gravy-like consistency to bind the different elements of the dish together.
Pleasantly surprised by how delicious this drink was. Tonic water + espresso + a secret sauce syrup (rosemary?) that results in a fragrant, refreshing sip that still packs a caffeine kick for hot days.
Goon Wah’s claypot fish head noodles rival some of the best out there and for the price, those fleshy fish pieces really give you bang for your buck. Didn’t particularly enjoy the thick mixian cos I prefer my fish head noodles with beehoon (to soak up all that soupy goodness) but on the bright side, that left me more of that delicious soup to slurp up.
Have heard a lot about Goon Wah since they first rose to fame back in Kuchai. This visit has proven all those great reviews to be true! The claypot lou shu fun is my pick; wok hei-laden, slippery rat tail noodles that get melded with a creamy raw egg yolk and minced meat sauce. Bonus: loads of crispy pork lard for extra flavour bombz.
Nice find at this unassuming hawker! The diced turmeric chicken is crisp and fragrant, finished with that savoury soy drizzle. The dish also comes with that killer bright-orange chilli sauce.
From the stall manned by a lone uncle in the back, this Mee Jawa exceeds expectations with clean, spicy flavours. Despite not being a fan of mee jawa, I found myself really enjoying this one for the creamy broth and crispy fritters. That dash of chilli sauce has kick too!
Officially obsessed with this Milo ice cream, which I dare call the best I’ve ever had! Tastes just like a very good cup of Milo Ais and it’s even got those chewy, chocolatey Milo bits folded in for a bite. Pun’s ice cream leans toward the chewier, almost gelato-like side, yet it’s got just enough creaminess to love.
Light and fluffy bb dutch pancake topped with killer fried chicken and maple syrup. When I say light, I really mean light — the pancake is incredibly soft and eggy while also crisp in the right places, but a tad thin (probably a quarter or an inch?). On the bright side, you’ll feel less guilty wiping out that fried chicken AND a scoop of their delicious ice cream to finish.
This has always had the hearts of Owls fans. Mildly sweet but very fragrant, the rose latte is a delicious drink with wonderfully floral notes.
