Of Reaching the Half Year Mark, Leaving Malaysia & Comfort Food

June 28, 2014 | 3,234 views

Dry Chicken Kuey Teow

Dry Chicken Kuey Teow (Kai See Hor Fun) from the new stall at Macy Cafe was good; yet a pale shadow of the former stall operated by the grumpy duo.

Time flies. Cliched as this may sound, it sure felt like yesterday when I kicked 2014 off with this BEST OF 2013 post; a series of 13 dining discoveries (or re-discoveries in some cases) of the previous year. We are now drawing the curtains on June and the first half of 2014, ushering in the second half of the year with heads held up high and prayers for better weather and haze-free skies ahead (in Klang Valley, at least) or your favourite team to win the World Cup.

For Motormouth, the thought of leaving Malaysia for a year in slightly less than 2 weeks time is daunting. An exciting yet disturbing sensation overwhelms me; a dreadful realisation that I may take time to cope with the change in environment, work load and well, to some extent, the longing for delicious Malaysian street food.

Dear readers, I will be moving down south to Singapore for a year.

Annie 1 Can Whip Up A Storm (Famous Menglembu Wan Tan Mee @ Damansara Uptown)

May 4, 2012 | 16,574 views

Menglembu Wantan Mee

Menglembu Wantan Mee; staying true to its roots, the egg noodles here promises a bounce (more like a crunch) without any lingering curse of alkaline taste, nor soggy over-cooked noodles gingerly decorated with ‘generic’ red-dyed char siew. In short, this was delicious.

After the umpteenth posts on Ipoh, I guess you must be dazzled not by the mouth-watering shots but confused by the sheer assault of posts from up north and all over the place instead of sitting still in KL/Selangor.

To set the record straight, I AM still staying and working here in Petaling Jaya. The backlog of photos awaiting to see the light of day has been inching closer to push me off the edge. Heck, I lost most receipts and recollection of the dining experience has been on a gradual decline.

On that note, I began to wonder. Is there NO restaurant, cafe or stall in the Klang Valley that can conjure up something vaguely reminiscence of good old street fares from my dearest hometown of Ipoh? Yes, anyone can claim to serve authentic Ipoh hawker food yet the claim may hold no water, but Annie 1 is another story altogether (cheesy pun, I know … )
