Moody Cow, based in Georgetown, has probably one of the most costly cakes I’ve seen in Malaysia. But during my vacation to Penang, my family and I decided to give it a shot. After all, how often do we step into Penang? We visited the outlet at Gurney Plaza which was conveniently located near the … Continue reading #PENANGFINDS: Moody Cow Cafe – Worth the hype?

Meatless meats, healthy alternatives
Alternative meats are gaining greater visibility as more brands start rolling out their versions of the products.

Mini Nasi Lemak from Ah Miao’s Kitchen
I recently stumbled upon an article about Ah Miao's Kitchen, a home-based nasi lemak business, and decided to give it a shot. $1 mini nasi lemak isn't typical in Singapore, and the photos in the article and on their Facebook page looked delicious.
