Dim Sum breakfast a couple of weeks ago at the Clan Restaurant in Sri Petaling, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The restaurant’s signature dish is a creation of its own… the gai wo bao (鸡窝包 – literally chicken nest bun) which is basically a combo of two popular dim sum dishes i.e. the loh mai gai (糥米鸡 – chicken glutonous rice) and chicken bun.

To be frank, I am not a fan… it’s a clever idea, but the taste just doesn’t click for me. My sister kinda love it though; and judging from their business, lots of the folks seem to like it too.

These days almost all dim sum restaurants in the Sri Petaling area is selling this chicken nest bun, but Clan Restaurant is still the most popular place for the dish… originality still matters obviously.

For KL folks, the address of the restaurant… 140, Jalan Radin Anum, Sri Petaling.

    Hi Yeinjee,

    Got ur msg on my blog about being too spammy. Ok, I guess I need to tone it down.

    What are the ways to get a blogger’s attention?

    another thing is I am thinking if the site should be food focus instead. I notice most location specific blog post are about resturant reviews and events.

    Will a site that aggregates all the food blog and then present them as a map get you more traffic?

    Thanks for your help.

    Wenhan… that is a million dollar question. If I know how to bring traffic to that kind of website, I would have make one myself. The honest answer is, I don’t know.

    If the idea is good, it will gradually pass on mouth to mouth, blog to blog, and the traffic will start to come in. What I am not sure is how to make a head start… networking will almost certainly help. Build your network, make some friends among popular food bloggers… and it might be what you need to move forward.
