This is because Ah Kum, my parents housekeeper of 28 years, is one of the best home cooks when it comes to hearty meals.I shall kick off Top Twenty Eats Kuala Lumpur 2018 with Ah Kum s wok tossed loh shee fun and cover some of our all time hawker favourites with a sprinkling of wagyu exuberance at a Japanese restaurant.In writing this blog post, some of the food featured have been covered in my previous editions of Food Safari Kuala Lumpur, namely the series of 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2017).

And the notion of getting lost on a sojourn in the heart of Tuscany with Mysaucepan is every bit as romantic as I had imagined.

All alba vincerò! Vinceròòòòòòò! Viiiiinceeeeeròòòòòòòò! I imitate Pavarotti belting out the last two verses of Nessun dorma from Puccini s Turandot as we cruise at 140 kilometres per hour on the freeway from Modena towards the capital of Tuscany. Drive carefully!!! Mysaucepan shrieks, momentarily interrupting my singing.I have read about the romance of Tuscany and our excitement builds each time a Firenze signage appears on the road. Continue reading So what s the highlight dish in Modena so far? I ask Mysaucepan, after our third day feasting in this city? Definitely my parmesan entree at Osteria Francescana she says without hesitation. Well, we tried some excellent aged balsamic and also toured the Ferrari factory this city is so famous for I reply.We visit a parmesan cheese factory at the home of Parmigiano-Reggiano in the heart of Emilia Romagna to check out the process of making the  King of cheeses before heading to Parma for yet another famous food ingredient of this region.

No more red meat for the next few days okay! Mysaucepan declares. Venice is famous for fresh seafood . Is sea lion considered red meat or seafood? I ask her. They don t serve sea lion especially during the carnival of Venice she replies. Venetians much prefer a spag vongole or marinara .

Continue reading What a quaint little town? I thought to myself as I walk out from the Vevey train station after an hour ride from Gevena airport and an eighteen hour flight and transit from Sydney.Mysaucepan has been on a business trip here for the last three weeks and we have decided to meet in her last week of work before heading to Italy for a short vacation.Though it is around 5 degrees Celsius this afternoon, the air is cool and crisp. So I decide to take a stroll to our hotel about 3km away from the station.

I remember discovering this place when I first visited its original premise in a motel in Moss Vale. I was impressed by the authentic French flavours with an inventive twist and the friendly service.
