An open kitchen right on the sidewalk in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, a bunch of red plastic chairs, a bubbly owner, Soo Kee Mee was a real pleasure located just a few minutes from Bukit Bintang station.

Char Siew at Medan Makan Boon Leong
By Luc Gougeon
Medan Makan Boon Leong is a food court known for offering char siew for lunch and oyster omelette for dinner. The food court is located on Jalan Bunga Raya street and it’s a great option for either lunch or dinner.
Kakouken Chinese Restaurant
Kakouken 華光軒 is an old Chinese restaurant very well hidden in a tiny alley behind Bic Camera. If you come from Okayama Station, the electronic store is located across the street on your left.
Momosennin Chinese Restaurant
Momosennin 中華あんかけ専門店 桃仙人 was recently featured on a local foodie TV show. It’s located a short distance from Niwase station.
Yuen Kee
Chinese restaurants in Kobe are everywhere according to a jaded local resident I met during a meeting, but I was excited to find Yuen Kee (圓記) down a dark alley not too far from Motomachi station.
Nyan Nyan Chinese Food
Finding great Chinese food in Kurashiki or Okayama has always been a great challenge which I am proud to undertake whenever I have a bit of time. I came upon Nyan Nyan a few years ago and decided to write about it since it’s a great place for lunch and the food stands out more then the drab grey building.
Sui Cao Dai Nuong
We started our day at Cho Binh Tay market right in the heart of the chinatown. The Cho Binh Tay market is not as touristy as the Ben Thanh market in the center. It’s really worth a visit if you want to see a real market without being yelled at every 2 seconds.
551 Horai
The Chinese food restaurants and counters 551 Horai or go go ichi are closely associated in my mind with the pleasure of visiting Osaka or the Kansai area. It’s pretty much a given, if I go to Osaka, I eat a 551 nikuman, but somehow I had never eaten at their flagship store in the Ebisubashi shopping arcade which is the extension of the famous Shinsaibashi-Suji.
Toraya
Mizushima is not a pretty place. This part of my wife’s home town of Kurashiki is down right ugly to be honest with you. Mizushima is the home of JFE steel mill, Mitsubishi and Asahi Kasei just to name a few. On the border of this industrial wasteland, lay the commercial center of Mizushima with its main street that hasn’t seen any revitalisation plan since the Edo period. Yet, I found the chinese restaurant Toraya amid a sea of seedy snack bars.
I am in heaven and it’s only 10 min from my wife’s house!
