Rating: 4 / 10 I've been known to change travel plans for a bowl of ramen. I've also spent hours in taxi's or on the back of moto's to drive to far suburbs in the hope of discovering a hidden gem.
More often than not it ends up being an exercise in futility, this too was no different. Rating: 9 / 10 I'll walk to the ends of the earth for a great masala dosa. No, really. Having spent my childhood in tamil nadu, dosa's were a treat we'd get on saturdays, running down to Kurinji's opposite Chellarams to order one followed by some ice-cream. Those childhood flavours sat with me all through my adult life.
Rating: 5 / 10 I could hardly turn down the chance to try an 85 year old Wanton Mee recipe, especially not since they set up a branch at Lot 10 where the air conditioners are fierce.
Rating: 8 / 10 Rammed to the rafters with locals every single day, accidental lunch-time spot for intrepid backpackers who dare to enter such shabby joints, purveyor of delicious soups for decades, Shin Kee truly is one of KL's gems.
Rating: 8 / 10 Banana Leaf halls in KL are a dime a dozen, and whilst it's quite difficult to find a terrible one, there are plenty that fall into the run-of-the-mill category. A handful stick their necks out from the herd and prepare truly mouthwatering dishes that the locals inevitably flock to.
Rating: 8 / 10 As a lonesome traveller on the highways and by-ways of life's sprawl, I shook off my caffeine buzz and jumped in a grab taxi to a part of town I won't claim to be familiar with. He dropped me a few meters away and I took in the view of rather ordinary looking shops and houses. The facade fooled me into believing I was entering some cross between a hip bakery and an architects office. Thank goodness the interiors were more bewildering.
I had one thing on my mind: LAKSA! Rating: 7 / 10 Nasi Lemak is on the minds of a million waking Malaysians, every single day. Memories of the first time they mixed together a plate, adding some spicy sambal, and pawing it into hungry mouths, brings a wash of nostalgia to even the most ardent emo-phobe. Raucous arguments erupting at the mere statement that "this or that place" has the greatest, or "this or that" lady does the best version.
