An Introduction to the Makan Hut

In another EFNBTD moment, my itchy hands went and created this blog, creatively called Rinnah's Makan Hut. Why this weird name? Well, it has its origins in a cute story when I was about four years old. Makan is the Malay word for eat, and being Malaysian, I thought I should showcase some of my Malaysian heritage. As for the word Hut, when I was four, I was so certain that the word "hut" was pronounced as "hoot" thus rendering Pizza Hut into Pizza Hoot! *very embarassed grin*

Anyway, since I am no wonder chef in the kitchen like some other people out there (you know who you are!), entries at the Makan Hut will be restricted to what I ate and where I went to eat. I'll review the who, what, where, when and how and employ my very own Michelin star style rating with American Idol judge quotes:

*** That was utterly amazing! - Simon Cowell
** 1/2 * Every (dish) tells a story, and you did it this time - Paula Abdul
** It was good, but it lacked the wow factor - Simon Cowell
* 1/2 * I'm not exactly jumping up and down about it - Randy Jackson
* I liked you last week, but I didn't like you this week - Simon Cowell
1/2 * I don't know what to say, dawg! - Randy Jackson

And... you know it's baaaad when a no star rating is given...

Sorry, (name of restaurant) no kiss from me tonight - Simon Cowell

So, let's eat, drink and be merry!
