I Love Ice Cream, Kota Kemuning

Blackpink might approve of this Korean-inspired ice cream parlour, with flavours like a rich red bean that bursts with real red beans in every bite. A single scoop costs a cool RM7 - adults can add an extra thrill by requesting a splash of soju on their ice cream for a smooth alcoholic kick (RM3 surcharge). Ice cream, chillin', chillin'.

24, Jalan Anggerik Vanilla R 31/R, Kota Kemuning, 40460 Shah Alam, Selangor. Daily, 12pm-10pm.

Aunty Marina Mutton Recipes

Glutton for mutton? Aunty Marina Mutton Recipes offers deliveries of one meat and one meat only, in nearly 20 recipes that range from Irish mutton stew to Indonesian-Malaysian Minang-Style rendang kambing.


The potent mutton madness of the Irish Mutton Stew hits you with its scent as soon as you open the tub, swimming in a sweetly robust broth balanced out with potatoes, carrots and onions. 

If you like mutton, you'll likely love Aunty Marina's cooking, which honours the bolder, undeniably gamier depth of this oft-maligned meat and slow-cooks each batch to a tolerable tenderness, firm but not frustratingly chewy.

It might look red-hot, but the Kambing Rendang Minang Style is merely mildly spicy though still marvellously seasoned, santan-rich with plenty of fragrance and flavour, going great with the simplicity of lean leg meat and lots of rice.

Prices start at RM21 for 250 grams of bone-in mutton (70% meat, 30% bone) and RM28 for boneless mutton leg meat. Aunty Marina says its fare is halal, with no artificial flavouring, MSG or preservatives, and cooked to order.

Han Kee Roast, Kampung Cheras Baru

If you're craving pork that pays homage to old-school Cantonese charcoal roasting, order the char siu and siu yok from Han Kee, a stall in Kampung Cheras Baru that's named for its founder's grandfather.

The char siu boasts a beautiful barbecued bite, cooked in a covered oven for 1.5 hours to seal in its savoury-sweet seasoning, subtly sticky and succulent to the chew. Perfect for a meat lover's delivery.

The siu yok conveys a sense of honest-to-goodness, time-honoured tradition too, complete with crisp crackling to complement the clean-tasting, tender meat. Prices are superb, with even a mixed single portion of siu yok and char siu costing only RM6.50.

Roast chicken is also available; a whole chicken clocks in at just RM35. Individual servings with chicken rice are also available, as are special requests for deliveries: Half a plate of liver cost us RM2, perhaps the most satisfying RM2 we've spent this year.

Han Kee Roast

Lot 1, Jalan 22, Kampung Cheras Baru, 56100 Kuala Lumpur. Open Tuesday-Sunday, 830am-2pm. Tel: 012-317-5925
