To eat mu krata, you first need to lather the pork lard to grease the metal skillet, on which you subsequently grill the meat on. Soup is poured into the moat surrounding the metal skillet, of which you can boil vegetables and other foods. Over time, the soup takes up the essence of the grilled meat juices that flow down as you grill the meat on the metal skillet. The combination of both the boiled vegetables essence and meat juices creates a flavourful and rich soup.

I was driving by Jalan Gangsa in Alor Setar the other day, and this restaurant caught my attention. Up till then, I didn't know steakhouses existed in Alor Setar. It was intriguing to see that a steakhouse could actually survive here.

Though Alor Setar is the capital of the paddy state, Kedah, we have very few Japanese restaurant options available. Up till the past 5 years, I think Kaede was the only Japanese restaurant in town. This was my favourite childhood Japanese restaurant, and still is my favourite go-to restaurant in Alor Setar!

Good pizza places are hard to come by in a small town like Alor Setar. It was good news when US Pizza decided to open a franchise in Ampang Business Centre, Alor Setar.

Keep looking up! That’s the secret to life. Happy 2021 folks!

Alor Setar has changed quite a bit since I last visited. Even with the ongoing pandemic, Alor Setar is flourishing. New cafes have been mushrooming all over town, and Mansion 28 is one of them.
