Bonjour, je me rends pour la seconde fois a Kuala Lumpur, j'aimerai bien l'avis de forumeur concernant des restos. Je ne recherche pas le luxe ni des bars, vraiment de bonnes adresses pour manger asiatique, j'en connais deja quelques unes mais je suis preneur de nouvelles adresses.
J'ai bien aimé le restaurant Hokkaido (chinois comme son nom ne l'indique pas) en face de l'hôtel Vistana. Spécialités de poissons et fruits de mer, terrasse agréable le soir.
Adresse : 68 Jalan Lumut
Tél : 03-4041 1316
Dans le même quartier, au pied de l’hôtel Grand Season, à l'angle de Jalan Datuk Haji Eusoff et de la rue qui desend le long de l'hôtel, il y a un restaurant indien très bon marché et délicieux.
En retour, je suis preneur de tes bonnes adresses car je vais bientôt passer à KL.
J'etais assez satisfait d'un japonais proche des tours dans des rues derrieres dans un improbable petit centre commercial, mais j'ai pas note le nom de la rue, je vais y retourner surement durant cette semaine, j'en prendrai les coordonnees. Et je ferai de meme si je trouve d'autre restos qui valent le coup.
Très bon et agréable, le Purple Cane Tea restaurant où le thé entre dans la composition de la majorité des plats.
A China Town, 1 Jalan Maharajalela, juste derrière le Chinese Assembly Hall.
J'ajoute a la liste, "Chef choi" sur Jalan Ampang, resto chinois, tres bon.
Globalement sur tous les restos que j'ai teste entre cette fois ci et l'autre fois, soit en tout 14 restaurants (malais, chinois, japonais), je n'ai jamais eut le moindre probleme alimentaire avec une qualite assez uniforme c'est a dire c'etait toujours bon, voir tres bon pour vraiment pas cher.
Meme si je ne suis pas un adepte des restaurants qu'on trouve au KLCC, un ami m'a amene chez "Madame kwan", et je dois dire que c'est bien bon et surtout le choix est extrement varie, une bonne experience que ce resto, attention cependant y a des chances de faire la queue pour avoir une table.
Donc en conclusion je dirai aller ou bon vous semble, j'ai meme essayer un stand de street food, bon ok recommande par un ami et j'ai pris un poulet curry bien epice.
Merci, je note.
En complément du post de Cescableue, Purple Cane est une chaîne de boutiques de thé chinois haut de gamme : http://www.purplecane.my/en/content/4-about-us
Pour les amateurs de thé, une visite à la boutique de KL vaut le coup. On peut y faire une dégustation dans les règles de l'art et s'offrir des thés d'excellente qualité. J'y ai pris un plaisir comparable à celui qu'on peut éprouver avec le vin chez un bon caviste.
I’m from West Africa and I’d love to introduce a Russian friend to a traditional product from my region: soumbara.
For those who don’t know, soumbara is a condiment made from fermented néré seeds. It has a pretty distinctive smell and a very strong, salty, fermented, umami-rich flavor. In West Africa, we mainly use it to add flavor to sauces, with rice, vegetables, meat, etc.
I’m curious to know, from Russian cuisine lovers: which traditional Russian dish do you think soumbara would pair particularly well with?
I’m looking for a real Russian dish where the combination could be interesting—not just rice or an adapted African dish.
Hi there, we’re heading to Cagliari for one night in April, staying at a hotel without a restaurant. Would you happen to know of a restaurant near Via Giuseppe Garibaldi for a typical dinner that’s not too pricey? Thanks.
I’m looking for typical Catalan restaurants in Barcelona! Any suggestions for areas or little hidden spots?
I know to avoid places like La Rambla, the beachfront restaurants in Barceloneta, and anywhere where they greet you with a menu asking if you want to eat, but are there any specific restaurants to avoid? Any bad experiences or unpleasant surprises?
I’m heading to Barcelona in early May—it’s my first time there. I’d love to hear your suggestions for restaurants (ideally near the tourist center, Las Ramblas). That said, I’m happy to travel if needed. I’m looking for a place renowned for its gastronomy, a spot serving typical Spanish or Catalan food, or somewhere with a unique vibe you wouldn’t normally find... In short, which restaurant did you love most during your stay in Barcelona?
Maybe you already use it in your recipes? Just to let you know that here in Quebec, the maple water harvest has started in several regions. The next step will be to boil this water to turn it into syrup. A sweet nectar, it works well in salad dressings, desserts, with salmon, and more. 😋
If you ever pass through here, don’t miss the chance to visit one of our wonderful sugar shacks. You can taste maple taffy on snow, among other things. 😄
Do you drink wine with your meal, and how often—every day, just on weekends, or only occasionally for special events?
What are your favorite wines, from which country, and what grape variety?
I drink wine with my evening meal every day. I’m particularly fond of wines from Australia and Spain—I really like grape varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz.
Leaving in 15 days for Brittany, specifically the southern Finistère and Bénodet...
Tourists expected to boost the culinary restaurant industry!
Haven’t read the guide for latecomers yet, and I’m really wary of online reviews.
Where can I eat without getting ripped off, enjoy quality food—crêperies, seafood, nice atmosphere...
Thanks to all you savvy foodies!
The title might surprise you, but you’ll understand my point of view.
1/ MEAL STRUCTURE
I’m talking about the standard meal, not the one for those who have to budget for financial reasons (generally fewer in northern and central Italy than in France, but more in the south, which makes up 35% of Italy—Eurostat figures), nor for those (mostly women) watching their figure.
The tradition (once the meal of the well-off, widespread among the general population in the 1950s) starts with soup or pasta (or rice, gnocchi, ravioli, lasagna)—this is the *primo piatto*.
Next comes meat or another animal-based product (fish, cured meats, eggs, etc.)—the *secondo piatto*, which can be replaced by cooked vegetables (the only known example in France: eggplant parmesan).
If the meat dish doesn’t already include vegetables, one is served. Salads, whether green or tomato-based, are side dishes, not starters.
The meal ends with dessert—no difference from French habits: cheese, fruit, or sweets.
*Antipasti* (appetizers) are reserved for festive meals or receptions and are served *in addition* to the main courses at the start.
4 practices unknown in France:
- If the menu includes pasta and ham, you start with the pasta.
- If the menu includes pasta with a meat sauce and fish, you start with the pasta too.
- Pasta is never a side dish for meat.
- It’s not unusual for Italians to start with pasta in a meat sauce and then have a meat dish—most do this several times a week.
Modern adaptations:
- People eat pasta less often (on average 5 times a week, according to recent figures) and soups, which are being replaced by *antipasti*.
- The main meal is now mostly dinner, so it’s much heartier, while lunch isn’t usually eaten at home.
2/ THE CUISINE
What do we know in France? Pizza, pasta Bolognese, carbonara, arrabbiata, ravioli, and lasagna. Fried scampi, Milanese or Bolognese cutlets, carpaccio, and finally tiramisu.
In short, a few basic dishes, but nothing of the gastronomy—whether regional traditions or high-end restaurants.
2 anecdotes:
**Bolognese sauce**
In Italy, the most common homemade sauce is a meat-and-tomato-based sauce called *ragù* (pronounced *ragoo*). Every region, even every town and family, as well as every restaurant, has its own recipe. *Ragù alla bolognese* is just one of these countless *ragù*—and no one in France knows the real recipe (I can share it with those interested). The name *bolognese* given abroad to any *ragù* comes from a canned sauce manufacturer who once branded their product that way. Until the early 1960s, it was called *sauce à la viande* (meat sauce).
**Pizza**
Before World War II, it was practically unknown north of Rome.
Today, Italy is one of the countries where it’s eaten the least (twice as much in France, four times as much in Germany).
Top 15 Brazilian eating habits that surprise the French 😮
Brazil is a multicultural country, and its history has shaped a very unique cuisine, influenced by European, African, Japanese, and Indigenous traditions. Its food culture is quite different from what we’re used to in France, and Brazilian eating habits often surprise French travelers exploring the land of samba and soccer.
