As most of you know, I am plant-based 95% of the time. So when I was thinking what should I focus on in my second episode of Eat What Leh? series on Youtube in Penang, I thought it would be really cool to have a full day of eating as a vegan in Penang.  Finding vegetarian or vegan food in Malaysia is not a big of a problem because us Chinese and Indian are mostly vegetarians. There are many vegetarian economic rice shops that can be found in the streets of Penang and it is also most people's preferred choice as it is really cheap. But I wanted to try something different so I searched up for some vegan restaurants and here are two that I went to.  I really love the baroque inspired interior design in Pin Xin that had definitely been thought through really well.  There are also motivational quotes around the restaurant that definitely did not failed to motivate me to being 100% plant-based.  It worked guys.  L-R: PinXin Nasi Lemak (RM18) , Pr...

 Hey! I am finally back with another food review. Had not tried anything that was interesting enough for me to do a full blog on it. Anyway, my mum and I were searching for places to eat and we specifically wanted noodles. The initial plan was to have Chilli Pan Mee because who would say no to that right?! As we were walking there, this shop next door called Chan SinKee Noodle which   was pretty crowded at that moment, caught our attention so we decided to give it a try. Well, I think it's safe to say that this is now my favourite noodle place. No fancy decorations, just a humble set up. Not sure about you but I personally think that places that are less fancy always serves the best food. Well, most of the time.  There are 3 sizes of noodles to choose from. We didn't know how small is the small how big is the big portion so we just went for the smallest one which we were really glad we did because the portion is quite big for a small. They have a variety of wan t...

 Go Noodle House has always been my go-to place whenever I'm in the mood for a warm bowl of noodles, especially on rainy days. I recently got to know that they have a sister company called Go Street Noodle and of course, I was really eager to find out what differences do they have and which of this two company is better.   I went to the outlet in Sri Petaling which has just opened recently. I was there just before 12pm and it was already quite pack. Everything from the vibes and interiors in GSN are almost similar, if not, just like GNH. Items on the menu are quite different but there are still a few familiar dishes. What differs GSN from GNH, selection wise is that they serve rice and dry noodles here and has a variety of side dishes to go with the dry noodles.  (@fixingcravings is my own account) Tok Tok Mee (Thick) with Bursting Meat Ball [RM11.90] in Superior Soup I always have the Bursting Meatball whenever I dine at GNH so I had to order this and c...

  Known for their salted egg yolk cronuts, Dotty's has recently opened a new outlet in KLCC. They have two outlets in Bangsar and one in TTDI, which is the one that I always go to. Seeing that I was really in a sweet tooth mood, I dropped by their new outlet recently and also tried a few dishes that I've not tried before. Interiors are similar to the other outlets.   We ordered their Eggs Benedict with Soft Shell Crab (RM28). Compared to few other cafes that I've been to with similar price range, their egg-ben is relatively smaller. Frankly speaking, I was quite disappointed with the presentation and it's definitely the least appealing egg ben dish I've had. Hollandaise sauce was barely enough which made the whole dish really drying as you can see.    We were there around 11am and was told that the pastries will only be ready by 12pm. I wasn't in a rush so I didn't mind waiting but honestly, the preparation speed is just really slow. I...

  I've been to the Malaysia Boleh! food court in Singapore years ago but all that I can remember is that it was quite a hectic dinner, as you would expect from a food court. The rest of the memories are now hazy in the mind.   If you have not heard of or been to Malaysia Boleh! , it is a food court that houses more than 14 stalls of popular local delicacies from different states. There's Penang Laksa, Pudu Fried Chicken, Klang Bak Kut Teh and the list goes on. This is definitely the perfect food spot for both local and tourists as you can try some of Malaysia's famous delicacies all in one space!                                          The Penang Laksa (RM10) was one of the better ones that I've had. The sourness and thickness of the broth was just how I like my laksa to be. This dish just hits all the right spots.   I'm not a fan of Hokkien mee but th...

We had relatives from overseas that came to visit and of course, we had to bring them to a place that serves good local food that we can proudly present to them. The first place that came to my dad's mind was Dancing Fish that is no stranger to any gastronome. They serve contemporary Malay-Indo cuisine had been around for 7 years now and is still holding their place strongly, in the F&B industry. I've just found out that Dancing Fish had recently revamped 40% of their menu. We started off with the Emping with Sambal Terasi (RM7.45) . The crackers here at Dancing Fish are made from 100% melinjo nuts and has a nutty and bitter taste. Oh, the sambal really does packs a punch!   What's a trip to Dancing Fish if you don't order their signature dish?   We had the Dancing Fish (Nila Goreng) with Asam Kedondong Pedas (RM58.75). The whole fish is deepfried till crispy that you can even the eat the bones too. Definitely the most picture worthy looking fish...

Follow my food account @fixingcravings on IG for daily food reviews!   Brunch is my favourite meal of the day and I knew that I have to make another trip to Birch to try their brunch menu after the amazing dinner that I had last month. [click here for the dinner menu review] Birch is now my favourite eatery in KL. Everything from the interior, ambience, and most importantly the food always makes me want to return again!   Birch Benedict [RM26] that consists of spicy pulled chicken, barbecue sauce, poached eggs, hollandaise sauce on toasted sourdough with salad on the side. From my observance, it's a dish that did not fail to appear on every table during the brunch hours and I can definitely tell why. If you never thought that barbecue sauce and hollandaise sauce can go well together, Birch will proof you wrong!  Watch me take my first bite + reaction here [20:29]   This was lip smacking good and easily one of the best egg benedict I had ...
