Constantly crave it. Chewy noodles with rich runny egg yolk coating it. Crunch from the toppings. Savoury umami taste. Kick from the chillies and soup to cleanse palate.

Tried White Buttermilk Chicken , Salted Buttermilk Pasta and Mushroom Fritters
Best one I ever had at WhiteButter KL

Tried this new spot for dinner opened by a buddy.

They are selling thai beef hotpot (RM19.80) concept from Thailand. (Reminds me of Heng Chun Seng in BKK)

Taste wise:
Super beefy and kaw beef broth
Beef innards are cooked perfectly (Tripe, Tendon, Intestine)
And the Angus Brisket to die for. Fatty juicy succulent.

More surprisingly is the Thai iced tea (RM7) . They have a slushie as well, but opted to try the original way with just Ice. Taste so different compared to those from ChaTraMue and roadside stalls. It had a floral hint to it which caught me off guard in a good way.

Only downsides is the seating outside abit hot la. Not sure when they will add fans there, cause I felt this dish best enjoyed al fresco.

They had Angus Shabu-shabu for RM10 a plate. No complaints here, milky beefy real deal angus beef.

If you guys have checked it out, share some review here. I can feedback to my friend.

Five-star reviews are everywhere now. In 2017, 41% of café reviews around KL gave 5 stars. This year it's 82%.

Even at cafés with reviews going back before 2019, it's 79%. So a high star score tells me less than it used to.

So I pulled 1,469,975 Google reviews of 9,159 cafés around the Klang Valley and kept only people who have written 50 or more Google reviews.

I call them picky reviewers. Code did the counting and AI read what they praise.

What I found:

- People with one review give 5 stars 83% of the time. People with 50 to 199 reviews, 55%. With 200 or more, 44%.

- Their favourite café in each of 17 areas is in the images. The top three are DINES COFFEE in KLCC and The 28 in Cheras (both 4.96), then BlackyCoffee & Roasters in Seri Kembangan (4.89).

- 62 of the 212 cafés rated 4.8 or more on Google score under 4.5 with picky reviewers.

- Picky reviewers praise different things. In 5-star reviews, 47% of theirs praise the coffee, against 35% from people with under 10 reviews. The staff: 29% against 46%.

- Room 203 tops two areas with two different outlets, Publika and TTDI. Picky reviewers at both praise its RM5 coffee.

How I did it: every Google review I could get for each café, pulled to 17 October 2026. A café is ranked only with 30 or more reviews from picky reviewers. Big chains, places Google lists as bars and cafés with no review in the last 30 days are left out. Areas are Google's own area names. AI compared 1,400 five-star reviews in a fixed sample drawn before the full-history pull to see what these groups praise, and each top café's reviews to say what it's praised for. Reviews show what people wrote, not why, and small gaps between cafés are noise.

Any recommended cheese cake around KL / Selangor area?

I particularly like secret recipe Marble cheesecake with the thick cheese sensation, tried burnt cheese but felt like its too soft.

Any recommendations is appreciated.

I got it for free from the event at PICC. The taste is more to coffee than cendol flavor. I kinda like it but I probably prefer the original cendol sold by the roadside than the combination of any by other company. If anyone did try it out, what do you guys think? I rate it 6/10.

Japanese milk bread, one savoury (cheese paprika) and one sweet (apple cinnamon).

My favorite nasi goreng is where the nasi are only heated with oil

Lama tak makan. Haiyaaa I miss this.

Side is sambal hitam

Masak lemak cili api is probably my favourite Malay dish because it’s so ridiculously versatile. You can turn almost anything into masak lemak.

Except sotong. Sotong gets a no from me.

Some of my favourites are masak lemak cili api daging (beef), ayam (chicken), and seafood like udang or ketam (prawns or crab). You can definitely make a vegetarian version too, using vegetables such as pucuk paku, cendawan sisir or pucuk ubi kayu. Even fruits can go into masak lemak: betik muda, mangga muda or pisang muda, all can be worked into this dish.

And no, masak lemak cili api is not some form of curry.

It has strong roots in the food culture of Negeri Sembilan, which itself was heavily influenced by Minangkabau migration from Sumatra.

For today, I made masak lemak cili api siput sedut (Cerithidea obtusa).

This one is definitely an acquired taste.

I’ve met many of people who absolutely refuse to eat siput sedut, which I completely understand. But I grew up eating it from when I was very small, so to me this is proper comfort food. And now I’ve introduced it to my own family too.

A little personal story:
My mom is from Negeri Sembilan, which explains why I was introduced to this dish at the first place. When I was little, I could never suck the siput out properly, so I would always pass them to my mum or dad and ask them to help me.

And now my own children do exactly the same thing to me. Full circle.

How does it taste?
The siput itself has a mild, slightly briny taste, but freshness and cleaning make a HUGE difference.

If the siput isn’t fresh or hasn’t been cleaned properly, you can definitely get that muddy, fishy taste, which is probably why this dish puts some people off.

So the preparation is quite tedious. Preferably, I let the siput sit with hampas kelapa parut (grated coconut residue) first for an hour to remove the slime, then soak them in salt water to clean them further. If you have no hampas kelapa parut around then soaking and changing the water for few times will do the trick. After that comes brushing the shells and rinsing them several times under clean running water.

A lot of work for some tiny snails, I know. But once they’re properly cleaned and cooked in that rich, spicy, creamy masak lemak cili api gravy? Absolutely worth it.

And half the fun is sitting there sucking the siput out of the shell one by one.

Extra Dark Double Chocolate Chip Muffins! Moist, fudgy and the extra dark version is much yummier than the regular ones. This is coming from someone who dislike chocolate desserts 🤤 Love playing with my new baking pans and muffin cups 🤗

Kids wanted soup noodle so I made misup kb (kota belud). This dish is popular in Sabah, and among those who lives in Kota Belud.

Once in a year je boleh makan. Very fatty but very sedap.

I love this! The roasted pork set is rare for leicha lovers in Penang!

Reccomended by locals. Noodle texture was very firm, included Char Siew was very lean but at least it wasnt dry. The side order of pork belly gave me mixed feelings. The fat melts in my mouth and the glaze was good but the edges of the meat part was very dry

The contrast between the crispy edges and the soft, spongy center provides a deeply satisfying texture
