A Flavor Bomb Waiting at the End of the Runway: A Review of Ole Ayam Golek, Jalan Lapangan Terbang Subang Lama

Image
Here is an enhanced food review for Ole Tucked away on Jalan Lapangan Terbang Lama in Subang, away from the hustle of the main city, lies a hidden gem that proves the best culinary experiences often come with a side of humble surroundings. Ole Ayam Golek Restaurant may not look like much from the outside, but inside, it serves up one of the most memorable Malay culinary experiences in the Klang Valley. The star of the show is, without a doubt, their signature Deep Fried Chicken. This isn’t your average ayam goreng. The chicken is marinated to perfection, resulting in a crust that is shatteringly crisp and golden, giving way to meat that is juicy, tender, and steeped in a rich blend of spices. Every bite is a satisfying crunch followed by a burst of savory flavor. But the true magic lies in their legendary Pistachio Sauce. This is the dish’s secret weapon. A creamy, vibrant green concoction, the sauce is a masterclass in balance. It has a subtle nutty sweetness from the pistachio, a ge...

A Flavourful Journey: Savor of Life in Desa Sri Hartamas

Image
Tucked away in the bustling heart of Desa Sri Hartamas, Savor of Life offers a delightful escape for anyone seeking plant-based dining that doesn't compromise on taste or creativity. Having transitioned from a home-delivery service to a physical outlet, this vegetarian restaurant impresses with its cozy ambience and friendly service, presenting plant-based foods with almost fine-dining presentation . On my recent visit, I had the chance to sample a variety of their signature dishes, and here is how they fared. We started our meal with two of their most intriguing starters. The dumplings were a masterclass in texture. The wrapper was perfectly thin and delicate, giving way to a savoury, finely minced vegetarian filling that was both hearty and satisfying. It was a humble dish, executed with precision, proving that vegan dim sum can be just as comforting as the original.     Equally impressive was the Linopot D‘Odu. For the uninitiated, this is a traditional Kadazan-Dusun dish, ...

From Sahur to Open House: The Laughing Cow and Kiri Celebrate Ramadan and Raya in Malaysia Adding comfort to everyday Ramadan routines and indulgence to festive Raya desserts shared with loved ones.

Image
As Malaysians prepare for Ramadan and Raya, everyday food moments begin to feel a little more special. A simple spread for Sahur, a light bite after berbuka, a late-night Moreh with family, or a homemade dessert prepared for open house guests. These small rituals quietly shape the season. Malaysians’ favourites The Laughing Cow and Kiri continue to slip naturally into these moments, adding comfort to daily routines and indulgence to festive celebrations. During Ramadan, quick, easy and comforting snacks become a part of our daily routine. The Laughing Cow remains a trusted presence at the table, spread over warm toast for sahur, tucked into wraps for a quick bite for berbuka, or shared on simple snack platters during moreh. After a long fasting day, familiar snacks can be the most comforting, creamy, satisfying bites that make small moments feel a little more enjoyable. Because sometimes, Lagi Cheesy really does mean Lagi Puas. The Laughing Cow continues to be a convenient and comforti...

Introducing NOBO Soy: A New Chapter for Soy Milk. From the makers of OATSIDE, NOBO Soy sets its sights on redefining Asia’s most loved plant milk

Image
Soy milk has long been a part of everyday life in Malaysia. From kopitiams and street-side stalls, to breakfast tables in our own homes, soy milk is familiar, nostalgic and deeply woven into local food culture. Yet, the soy milk category has been declining as young adults are not drinking as much soy milk. Created by the team behind Malaysia’s much-loved oat milk brand OATSIDE, NOBO Soy is here to set a new standard for soy milk for the wellness-focused generation. NOBO Soy Milk has higher protein at 4.2g/100ml, which is almost double of typical packed soy milk and ~40% more than dairy milk, achieved through double-extraction of non-GMO high protein Canadian soybeans. It also has less sugar Benedict Lim, CEO & Founder, OATSIDE said: “We spent a lot of time sourcing the right soybeans and eventually chose non-GMO, high-protein beans from Canada for their nutrition and flavour. From there, it was about developing a process that could pack more soybeans per pack to deliver a creamier...

CALIA at PAVILION BUKIT BINTANG

Image
From its imposingly elegant marble-clad doorway to its warm, minimalist interior, Calia at Pavilion KL makes an unforgettable first impression. The restaurant strikes a perfect balance between sophistication and comfort—thanks to its airy, spacious layout and the natural light streaming through tall windows. That sense of ease is elevated by the consistently polite and friendly service, making you feel welcomed from the moment you step in. Renowned for its creative take on modern Japanese cuisine, Calia presents a menu brimming with enticing options. We began our lunch on a refreshing note with two vibrant salads—both elevated by umami-rich toppings that turned simple greens into something memorable. The Softshell Crab Salad with Avocado (RM41) was a delightful contrast of textures: crisp, savoury softshell crab perched atop creamy avocado and fresh greens. The Kale Salad with Bara Bara (RM44) was equally impressive, featuring delicate cubes of fresh fish that added a light, oceanic to...
