We  finally made a trip to Tropicana city not too long ago, in search for food.and we stumbled upon this Japanese Restaurant Sushi Tei hidden near the far end of the shopping centre. The exterior looked inviting enough, and we were up for Jap food, so we thought why not. The set up  reminded me very much of Sushi Zanmai in 1 Utama. Our order that night was: - Curry Rice RM12.80 Nabeyaki Udon RM15.80 Maguro Natto RM4.80 Goma Ice Cream RM6 Nothing ambitious that day, as we just wanted a simple Japanese dinner. The interior was very nicely done up...

Recently, we were looking for something light to eat, since we have been over indulging the past few weeks. Its starting to take a toll on us, so my dad suggested Teo Chew Porridge. Easy to digest, easy to eat. We heard of a good place in PJ State area, and decided to try our luck there. We got there just before it started to pour. Its been raining awfully a lot these days.  Managed to get a seat and placed our orders. As you can see, its the typical Teo Chew style cooking, where almost everything is braised. Braised Pork Knuckle, Braised Duck, Braised Tau Fu,...

" Uncle Soon Guan (SG) became a Chartered Accountant to avoid inheriting his father's business as a noodle vendor which gives only a tough life.
