Mr Wu, Damansara Utama (CLOSED)

The first time I visited Mr Wu was back in 2021. At the time, the restaurant was located along the same row as Telekom but they have since relocated.

Windfall Gain

The other day, a friend of a friend needed some help. It was basically an online search and of course I assisted.

Halla Holla, Damansara Jaya

To be honest, I couldn't get the name of this place right. Certain names just stump me. Holla Halla. Halla Halla. Holla Hallo. Hallo! Hallo!

Revisiting My Old Favorite

The year 2023 is drawing to an end and I am going back to my meat-based way of eating again in 2024. 

Crunchy Fishy Snacks

As usual, after visiting dad at the nursing home, we headed to Kar Hiong for our weekly makan date.

A Merry Meaty Christmas

Merry Christmas to my Christian friends and readers! I am not exactly celebrating, but just feeling thankful that I can sit back and relax for a bit.

No Mood for Christmas

I am still recovering from the effects of Covid and as of today, I must say that I am feeling a lot better than I did the past few days.

Guess Who Kena Covid?

Three days after visiting my dad at the hospital (where he was tested positive for Covid later that evening) I developed flu symptoms.

Happy Sunday

Last Friday when I visited dad at the ICU, he had caught a cold. He had runny nose, sore throat and a slight cough.

Air Fryer "Ayam Goreng Berempah"

These days I eat a lot of chicken. I have fallen in love with chicken again and just as well. Chicken is cheaper than beef and I am now on a budget.

Chocolate Is My Kryptonite

I did say that cakes are not as enjoyable to me as they were before I abstained from the sweet and carby stuff. BUT. There is a but.
