And after a seriously long hiatus from food reviews covering this part of the Malaysia (KL/PJ, I mean), let’s get back on track. Though by the time this is published, I am already halfway (how I wish I can say round the globe …) round the horizontal axis of Malaysia.

I am home now, picking up the pieces …. home sweet home, or post-holiday blues?)

Anyway, high chance of owing to the aging process, I find myself craving for foods that I found yucky/unpalatable/disgusting back when I was a teenager. For instance? Bitter gourd and now, fish heads.
