Is there any different between a Chinese Muslim food restaurant and to a halal Chinese restaurants here in Malaysia? I don’t see there is much different between them.
Homst, located at Persiaran Za’aba, Taman Tun Dr Ismail, categorize itself as a Chinese Muslim restaurant. It is very cosy and comfortable and the outlet is typically Chinese, Cantonese and Teo Chew with some homemade variety dishes.

Bored with the usual routine of berbuka puasa, all the usual food, ayam golek, ikan bakar and what not, we tried something different. The epitome of fast food, McDonald’s.
There was a time for me when McDonald’s if a way of life. Eating at McD’s brings back memories.
During my school days, I had McD’s for almost everyday. It is the hang out place for me and my friends. It is easy and there is no surprise you know what to expect when coming to a McDonald’s. A Big Mac is a Big mac no matter which McD you go.

Yesterday we went to Madam Kwan for berbuka puasa. Madam Kwan chain of restaurants have been around for quite sometime and I’ve seen a few outlet pop-up here and there.
We went to the Pavilion’s Madam Kwan outlet, located at the Lower Ground floor, where the Pavilion’s Food Republic is.
‘Truly Malaysian Cuisine’, is Madam Kwan’s tagline and they stay true to it. Even though they do serve western meals on it’s menu, but I wouldn’t recommend it.
When I’m in Madam Kwan, there is only two things I had in mind. The Nasi Lemak and Nasi Bojari. I had Nasi Bojari this time.

It is that time of the month again. It’s Ramadan, it’s the fasting month for muslims all around the world.
That doesn’t mean MakanByte won’t be blogging. This is a great month for food. This is the month were you could see all the best food. Everybody is opening stalls and selling some good old family recipe cooking.

For those of you who aren’t familiar, Mooncakes are Chinese pastry traditionally eaten during Mid-Autumn Festival. This is when the moon is believe to be at its most beautiful and roundest on the night.
Legend has it that, the Mid-Autumn festival is intricately linked to the legends of Chang E, the mythical Moon Goddess of Immortality. There are also stories that mooncakes were used as a medium by the Ming revolutionaries to secretly distribute letters in order to overthrow the Mongolian rulers of China in the Yuan dynasty.
Then again I am no expert in Chinese legend or its history. Whenever I saw a bakery selling mooncakes I know it is that time of the year and I just have to get one.
