Foods Kuching Should Have

2010-04-23T10:46:00.005+08:00

Nando's!

Nando's chicken platter.

and whats makes Nando's different from Kenny Roger Roasters is this. This sauce boost the flavors of the meat to the max!

This is something i found in KL Pavilion which i think kuching is missing.

Kuching might have "ais kacang" here and "igloo" here. But this is the stuff that i'm looking for.

This chewy and "Q" sweet potato and taro bite is indescribable.

This is the two place u should try when you are in KL.That's all for this post.

Seems like blogging is not my thing, its been a while i've not updated, and 2010 is already 2 month old, time really flies and which mean one more month for my training and will back to student life again.

To think again, when i'm in primary and secondary, i think school s**ks,tuition here and there but get to know more friends.

When i'm in college, i thought it was ok, just the assignments that kept me way too busy.

Now i'm temporary as a employee, i can't wait for this training to end. Wake up early, work 8 hours, no friends around, go home for a night then sleep and wake up and work and keep repeating. Everyday is like everyday to me except weekends.

So is this life?things are not always going the way we wanted, if we want it to be the way we wanted, we work to get that life we want. To work, i might need to start to love doing it first(if i don't really like it,that is)But, is that possible?

2010-01-03T17:44:00.006+08:00

Went to this Chinese restaurant in Mid Valley.

Kung Bao Ji Din(dried chili chicken). Not as delicious as i expected in a restaurant like this.

Po cai to fu(spinach beancurd).

Drunken Chicken. My favorite. Served cold.

Xiao Lung Bao. Love this too. The "soup" inside was superb.

Overall, expensive but worth it.

2010

2010-01-01T00:55:00.008+08:00

Its another new year, lets leave those sad and miserable stuff behind at 2009 and leave space for happiness for 2010.

But lets not forget of the lessons that we learn from the past, to change what should be change, that's what we call experience so we can improve our life to a new level.

Last but not least, live our life to the fullest! Happy New Year to all readers!=]

Ming Kee Char Siew

2009-12-25T16:03:00.004+08:00

Went to this coffee shop after doing some research in the internet. Coincidentally, this shop is just a few blocks away from our hotel. Can't find this place at first cause it just move to somewhere nearby after being told by someone while we are searching for it.

This is the best char siew i've tested so far! crispy on the outside, juicy inside.

They serve chicken rice too, but not as delicious as the one found here in Kuching,

More foods yet to come!

Off to Kl

2009-12-19T00:03:00.000+08:00

Going to Kl tomorrow and will be back by next Thursday with lots of yummy delicious food pictures.

The Stress Release Post

2009-11-29T14:33:00.003+08:00

Just a blink of eye, another semester is going to end soon with a stressing final exam. At least, i did put in a lot of effort and hope this effort pays off.

At the same time, best of luck for all the 4 subjects we are taking in the final to all my kampung friends!gambateh!!

*Not going to update this blog again unless i do some traveling or vacation sooner or later this year.

Blazing weather.

2009-08-07T18:32:00.003+08:00

Weather so hot, haze everywhere. Just witness a few seconds of sunny raindrop, but still the same.

Ipoh town kopitiam(Jalan song)

2009-08-02T13:43:00.007+08:00

This place is located at where i circled on the map, there should be some newly open retail shops there, seems like google has not updated the map.

This is the second outlet in Kuching after it first opened in Boulevard which has just opened recently.

The foods and drinks serve here. Noodles. Quite expensive.

Their signature drinks. White coffee.

Ice blended.

Ipoh town dry curry mee. Taste quite nice, recommended for those likes spicy foods.

They have different kind of toast too. Nothing special actually, just like every other one you can find in coffee shop.

Kaya and butter toast.

White Coffee. Recommended. Rich aromatic coffee flavor. Didn't try the ice blended ones, but i would rather suggest this original one since is much more cheaper.

Is self service here, you are given a pencil and paper to tick what you want and pay directly at the counter. As you can see there is a pencil in the above picture.

You can get discount here too if you come here on the right time and right stuff.

The foods here are rather expensive, but it seems like a good place to have a breakfast or a tea break enjoying toast and coffee. That's all for this post.

yong Kwang coffee shop

2009-07-28T14:21:00.007+08:00

This place is located somewhere near kenyalang market.

Kolomee. Is been operating for quite a long time. The taste is just average

They serve refreshing and nice drinks here. One of my favorite is the lemon green tea.

And Barley Lemon

Some others foods which is nice is the fried sweet mee and chicken rice.

Ho Ciak Bak

2009-07-22T12:34:00.004+08:00

This place is located at where i circled on the map, it should be quite easy to locate if u you driving at the main road at jalan padungan.

Lets start with rice, just like every other garlic rice you can eat in bak kut teh coffee shop.

Yellow wine ginger chicken. Not recommended.

Well, this is a must try, their bak kut teh. To be honest, this is more delicious than the one at 3rd mile, because the soup has richer herbal taste yet it is not bitter at all, instead is a little bit sweet. The price should be RM6 per person, quite expensive.

"you tiaw" for you to dip the bak kut teh soup.

They don't have sambal bak kut teh here, but they do have dry chili bak kut teh which you can try too.

Merry park(tabuan jaya)

2009-06-19T16:07:00.005+08:00

Got to update since i'm free, which is not for long. Looks familiar? yup, this is the kolomee that Kenny Sia likes which he mention in his blog.

The famous kolomee there. Can't say i'm a fan of the kolomee here, for me is just so so.

Wo tie which is just next to the kolomee stall which you can see in the first picture.

That's all for this short post, still have other places and foods to blog about next times. So do visit back.

Minced Beef Noodle, Carpenter Street

2009-06-14T21:01:00.005+08:00

This place is located somewhere i circled on the map.

Didn't take picture of the signboard but just the stall, is a corner shop.

Minced Beef Noodle. Consider one of my favorite hawker food in Kuching. They use hand-made noodle which makes the noodle "Q" and the minced beef and the crispy pork skin is so yummy. It's a must try in Kuching.

Should i call this mouse kuih in english? cause is call "ngiao chu kuih" in Hokkien. Same, just that is minced beef ngiao chu kuih.

Mutton Noodle. First time trying this, it taste a little bit like "Ma-Lak Mian", taste delicious too, just that they overcooked the meat.

Price can be refer on the hawker stall picture. Thats all, stay tuned.

Poh Kwong Park Kueh Chap

2009-06-12T22:41:00.005+08:00

This place is located somewhere i circled on the map. Here may be difficult to find if you never been here before. When you are at the main road at green road, take the left turn before the Exel Petrol Station and follow along the road until you saw a shop house of a tuition name "Pusat Tuition Unik"(what an unique name) and take the left turn and look right you should able to see stall.

Is just a small stall operating, but the kueh chap here is my favorite one in Kuching.

The kueh chap soup here doesn't has that strong intestine or liver smell, instead they have a little taste of herbal flavor which i like.

Main dish which contain of meat,intestine, Bean curd, chicken feet and egg. Best when dip with the belacan which is one of the reason i love the kueh chap here.

If i'm not mistake, they only serve soya bean for drinks for this stall.

There are also other stalls here, heard about the satay there is nice, but never try it before, going to review it next time.

Kenyalang Market Fried Noodle

2009-06-10T12:44:00.007+08:00

This place is located at where i circled on the map.

Its located on the first floor if you count the ground floor. look for the N0.17 stall.

Fried Noodle@RM2.30, cheap and a lot. I love the fried noodle here is because of the sweet taste, sometimes i request to add spicy and makes the noodle sweet and spicy.

Fried Kueh Tiaw. Not much about this, just like every other ones you find.

I always come here for supper, not sure whether it is operating during morning or not.

Chong Choon Cafe(jalan abell)

2009-06-08T13:50:00.008+08:00

This place is located at where i circled on the map.

Yam cha kueh@RM2.50, taste nice actually, but not perfect, can't tell what is missing here.

Laksa.Looks familiar? Is actually the same owner that of that place at RH plaza i've been to previously. Used to be my favorite last time, but not now. The prawn too small.

There have thick toast too. Butter cheese toast.

Other foods you can find here is clay pot noodle.

E-Taste Food Court(updated)

2009-06-06T23:45:00.011+08:00

This place is located at where i circled on the map.

I've blog about this place before just that last time the quality of the pictures is not that good. So, this time i'm going to review it again. Here is the famous clay pot foods.

Curry Mutton, my favorite among all the choices.

Original Mutton Soup, a little bit blend of herbal flavor.

Assam sour fish, recommended.

Trying out the kankong belacan at the back, and it taste incredibly delicious, have not eaten such a delicious kankong belacan for quite sometime. Not that salty. It is spicy,recommended.

There also been a change of the owner here. They have a new drinks menu, here's what we have tried out. Honey Green Tea.

Yam. Recommended for those who love yam flavor as it has a strong taste of yam.

No idea what this call, didn't try it.

Just a reminder here, the clay pot foods here should cost around RM7-RM8, their menu will change depends of which day. The new special drinks here cost around RM3-RM5 if i'm not mistaken.

Do come early at night if you want to eat those claypot foods, or else many of their signature dish might sold out as early as around 8pm.

Peach Garden(updated)

2009-06-05T23:29:00.004+08:00

Just find out a new stall at peach garden here where i review .

The stall is located at the side, not inside. This stall sell mainly Hong Kong local favorite foods.

"Zha Jiang Mian", taste a little bit sour, but nice.

"Ma Lak Mian", never eaten a soup version of Ma Lak Mian before, the spiciness is moderate. Is almost like HK version of Sarawak Laksa.

Forgot the price since this is taken days ago. But it should be around RM3 to RM4.

Butter Chicken@RM4.00. Crispy and oily butter around it.Not that nice.The stall is located outside.

I love this one! Crispyy on the outside and soft inside with red bean filling. This stall is located at the first few stall outside. RM2.00 for 3.

Lion Head@RM1.00 each.First time eating this, first bite, will make you crave for more! SUPER CRISPY on the outside, Lotsss of juicy delicious meat inside. A must try.

Mo Chi@RM4.00,big. Taste quite nice with those peanuts, but nothing special.

Fried oyster@RM9.00, one word,crispy.

Nuffnang Gone Wrong?(updated,problem solved)

2009-06-03T00:36:00.008+08:00

*updated,problem solved this morning.

One Day trip to Sematan,Gunung Gading

2009-06-01T18:01:00.018+08:00

Today, went to Sematan, Lundu, Gunung Gading with family. Such a long journey, took us about 1 hour and 15 minutes to reach there.

Destination, reached. Pay RM2 for entry per person.

Lots of people having vacation as it was public hoiliday.

The beach is much more clearer and wider than Damai. Let the pictures explain.

After having fun at the beach, dine at the cafe there. Satay@RM9per plate;8 sticks, yummylicious, quite reasonable as it was big in size.

The drinks, Ice Lemon@RM3.00, coconut@RM3.00.

After that,off to Lundu. Just an "pasar feel" small town.

Reached Gunung Gading.

That's a lot of column.

Fake Raflesia displaying. Unable to see the real one as it was not the right season.

Jungle walk. Nothing interesting for this walk, hot and humid, trees and plants all around.

Mini Waterfall

After that, lunch at nearby.

They call it butter prawns, but i think is planta/margarine prawn. Taste not bad actually.

Sweet and sour fish, nothing special, too oily.

Wild pig.

Finally, end our lovely trip with sunny hill ice cream at 3rd mile.

Old time favorite vanilla ice-cream@RM3.00.

Mixed Vanilla with chocolate with peanuts toppings.

That's all for this memorable day.

Grandma Hand Made Noodle,,3rd Mile

2009-05-31T14:52:00.006+08:00

This place is located at where i circled on the map.

I always come here whenever i want to eat Bak Kut Teh.

The original Bak Kut Teh. The herbal taste is not too heavy which i prefer.

The reason i love about the Bak Kut Teh here is because they have Sambal Bak Kut Teh which is my favorite, spicy and yummy. Recommended to try.

Garlic Rice.

"You Char Kuih" for you to dip the Bak Kut Teh.

The ice green tea is nice too. Have a try.

Here's the price, expensive but satisfying.

Thats all for this post, stay tuned.

Soon Fatt Cafe(Petanak)

2009-05-29T12:00:00.006+08:00

This place is located at where i circled on the map.

If you love to eat foods like 炒煮, like foochow mee, fried mee/kueh tiaw/rice, tomato mee/kueh tiaw. Here is the place you should come. The outside signboard is the one with pepsi logo.

This is their famous Foo Chow Fried Mee@RM4.00 . This is the best Foo Chow fried mee i had eaten in Kuching so far. The gravy taste great. Its a must try.

Love the salted fried rice@RM4.00 here too. The saltiness is average, not too salty which is good. The rice is fried perfectly.

Some other things you should try here is the "Cao Chai Bee Hoon", which taste a little bit sour. Heard that the chef here is originally Foo Chow people, maybe that's the reason that thier foochow mee is so delicious.

First time eating here.

The chicken rice here is quite famous. Chicken rice@RM9.00 for 2 person, the meat taste nice actually, just that is little bit oily.

Laksa@RM3.50,small. Reminds me about the laksa at Jalan Abell,Tun Jugah there, must be the same owner.

Kolo mee@RM2.70, nothing special about this.

But the foods and drinks you should give it a try here is the thick toast. Garlic spread and butter cheese, RM2.20 each.

Their Buah Kolondon drink is refreshing and the sourness is moderate, recommended.

Thats all for this post, stay tuned.

American idol ( season kris allen)

2009-05-22T17:47:00.007+08:00

American idol season may come to a end now, but the topics is still on.

Yup, he's the one, American idol of season 8 and also the one who is turning on the topic.

He won by millions of votes, many are still wonder, should he be in the finals?and who knows, that vary day, he became American Idol. I'm definitely a fan of Adam so as many other people and Adam is obviously better than him.

Kris can sing but not as good as Adam. He is good in slow sentimental or acoustic songs, i like his "the way you look tonight" performance, but he is not consistence as Adam

Seems like the votes by America is getting out of control, 100 million freaking votes just for 2 person compare to 40 millions of votes for those top 7 previously.weird.

食尚玩家 went Penang

2009-05-19T19:25:00.004+08:00

This is their second visit to Malaysia, last time was KL, now is Penang.

Simply link the other part of this video after it finished.

Don't know why they didn't try the Penang Char Kueh Tiaw and Assam Laksa there?

Hope they will drop by Kuching here soon.

Is this true?

2009-05-18T13:32:00.006+08:00

Malaysia is on alert right now as there is another case of a H1N1 disease here in Malaysia.

But just obtain a little information from the net, click to link below
No risk of getting influenza A(H1N1) virus through food, says UN health agency

Well, no matter what, we have to be extra hygienic and clean all the time.

This place is located at where i circled on the map.

Lets start with the rice. Nothing particular.

Curry, spicy Indian flavor.

Belacan. Not nice compare to the rest i've try in Kuching.

Well, the "char shio" here is the best,RM4 per person. It taste a little bit sweet in a nice way.

As for the chicken meat here is not recommended, is too dried.

Happy Garden(Jalan Simpang Tiga)

2009-05-16T22:19:00.006+08:00

This place is located at where i circled on the map. Is opposite across road from Spring.

Many people usually come here for family dinner or special occasion.

Fermented Bean curd meat. Crispy outside, juicy inside.

Chicken Fish Meat. Not much about this.

Bean Curd with minced meat. Taste quite good actually as they added salted fish in it.

Last but not least, my favorite one here, butter prawn. Taste Great, a must try.

This drink is call "Ba Ko Lon" is quite famous here, you'll love it if you like sour drinks.

Overall, RM80+, some foods is not shown here and drinks are excluded.

yeow kee kopitiam(updated)

2009-05-10T14:05:00.012+08:00

This place is located at the place i circled on the map.

I've blog about this place before, and i'm going to blog again since there's some food i didn't manage to try previously. When i reached there this morning,this place was packed of people!

Saw many people order this. Milo Dinosaur@RM4.00! i'm just going to say, too sweet too expensive! they add extra Milo powder on top as you can see.

Foochow Duck Mee Sua@RM5.00. Quite reasonable as there are 5 pieces of chop duck, 2 prawn meat wanton, fish cake and the mee sua is a lot. The soup is quite plain, but just add the chili provided to improve the taste, bird eye chili that is.

Tiam Gian Ngu@RM5.00. Didn't try this one.

好味面@RM3.80. I would recommend to try this dish, is quite different from the kolomee and the kampua mee we always eat. They use handmade noodle which makes the noodle very "Q", the taste of the noodle is bit sour as they use vinegar, the ingredient they use taste not bad.

So, enjoy!oh ya,by the way....

Happy Mother's Day especially to my dearest mum and to all mums out there~!

老李food court(updated)

2009-05-09T11:58:00.008+08:00

This place is located at where i circled on the map.

Most people come here the pork leg rice, it's the best one you can find in town.

The soup here taste great along with the rice.

The main dish for 4 person@RM20.00.

The belacan here is a must have for the meats,if you are someone who love extra spicy, you sure will love this one. One suggestion from me is that you add the belacan in the soup provided,it taste great.

That's all for this post, stay tuned for more updates!

American Idol Season 8 (Top 3)

2009-05-08T19:56:00.005+08:00

Have You been Catching American Idol Lately?Whose your favorite among the top 3?

Well, for me, Adam Lambert is indeed the most outstanding one!

Why?Because he take this song.

Don't know why
I'm surviving every lonely day
When there's got to be
no chance for me
My life would end

And it doesnt't matter how I cry
My tears of love a waste of time
if I turn away
Am I strong enough to
see it through?
Go crazy is what I will do

(chorus)
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody, baby
If I can't have you, uh-huh, ah
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody, baby
If I can't have you, uh-huh, ah

Can't let go
And it doesn't matter how I try
I gave it all so easily
to you my love
To dreams that never
will come true
Am I strong enough to
see it through?
Go crazy is what I will do

And sang it this way.*sorry,no original video its available.

This is his studio version of him singing this song.Full song that is,

Adamazing, right?

Mega One Food Court(king Centre)

2009-05-07T22:15:00.006+08:00

This place is located at where i circled on the map.

Not much about the foods from the food stall, but the food from the seafood side here is nice.

Their fried small noodle is one of my favorite fried noodle in Kuching. It cost RM3.00 each and the ingredients is a lot.

Will be updating about here again when i get to try the seafood here.

Fook Kang Vegetarian(Behind Hock Lee)

2009-05-05T16:08:00.005+08:00

This place is located at where i circled on the map.

It is the same block with the chicken rice shop name "Fang Yuen" which is popular for its char shio.

It's fast food is much famous and has a wide variety of choice.

This is the food that i pick;sambal, deep fried dried beancurd with honey, the other one, not sure what is that.Overall with a small bottle of honey Green Tea, RM5.50, cheap,right?

If i'm not mistaken, they calculate the price of the food based on the types of food you pick, at here i would recommend you to pick any kind of beancurd, the beancurd here is delicious.

You can also order foods from the menus. If i'm not wrong, all the fried rice here is RM3.80, and its A LOT!, and consider delicious too.

So, have a change sometimes, vegetarian does not taste that plain after all.

Having a one day trip to Jong's Crocodile farm and zoo at 17th mile with college friends yesterday.

Chameleon,camouflage with the tree branch.

Tailless Crocodile

Otter, cute and has innocent voice.

waiting.......

More Crocs.

Anyone know what type of bird is that?

Peacock, didn't manage to take picture opening it's feather

Monkey.

Poor little goat alone, its the only goat here.

That's the oldest Crocodile(the one behind) here.

Bear looking at me curiously.

Guinea?

Don't know what type of fish is this.

The biggest of them all, dragon fish,think that's the name in hokkien.

Feeding Crocodile Show.

Fierce bird.

Went home at 3pm, tired but memorable.

皇上皇(RH plaza,BDC)

2009-05-02T21:50:00.005+08:00

This place is located at where i circled on the map.

This is one of the many places to have a family dinner, the food here can consider among the best in Kuching.

The butter prawn here taste great, give it a try.

The belacan kankong here taste not bad too, it is not that salty.

Their salted fish meat is a must try when you come here.

First time trying this, spare ribs with special sauce, not spicy, the taste is quite sweet. The meat is tender.

Bean curd with minced meat, nothing much about this dish, but the minced meat is a lot.

Overall, 5 dish, one pot of Crysanthenum drink, RM87 . Quite reasonable for a air-conditioned restaurant.

Bombay Masala(petanak)

2009-05-01T21:43:00.003+08:00

This place is located at where i circled on the map.

It is the shop with black signboard.It is somewhere near chicking eating house.

This is the Mee mamak@RM3.50, not recomended, its too dried and the ingredients used is not that good.

Kampung Nasi Goreng@RM3.50, taste average, nothing special about it.

Penang Rojak@RM3.++.forgot the price. Well, this one i should recommend, taste quite good actually, they use the nyonya kuih mixed it with the satay sauce, so it taste sweet at first but it brings along a bit of spiciness. So you should try this.

The roti canai is seems nice,you can have a try too. For your information,the food here is Halal.

享記茶室(carpenter street)

2009-05-01T12:38:00.009+08:00

This place is located where i circled on the shop.

I'm sure all the Chinese citizens here in Kuching know this place, Is the most famous and delicious kolomee you can find here in Kuching.This is their new signboard.

Most people come here order their special soup and kosong mee or rice.Waited for like 50 minutes for this.i order this special soup here without "pak lai",means without those intestine and liver which i don't like,so if you only like the meat,just tell them you don't want "pak lai".One word can only describe this,delicious!

This is the so called black vinegar noodle(o cho mee,in hokkien),this kosong mee cost RM1.70 per bowl and its a lot.

Some little information here, when you come here you either have to wait for a seat or you are asked to share with someone else, and just wait for them to order and serve for you when you are seated, if you being impatient and complain for waiting so long, you probably will be "scolded".

This place is operating from morning until noon.

Green Hill Corner(Infront of Medan Pelita,Ala Cart)

2009-04-30T18:22:00.007+08:00

This place is located at where i circled on the map.

This is the old sign board they use but it is now moved inside,the new signboard outside is now in purple color,if i'm not mistaken.

One of the famous stall here is obviously the beef noodle here,its been operating here for years,the beef noodle is consider my favorite in Kuching.But is quite expensive,it cost RM4.00 each.What's nice about the beef noodle here is the noodle they use,nothing much about the meat.

The chicken rice and malay mee goreng taste great but they only open during morning till noon. But the beef noodle stall is open during both morning and night.

So be sure to come here on the right time for the right food.

Signal

2009-04-28T18:10:00.004+08:00

Saw something weird today.

Thats got to be the biggest signal light i ever saw

Thompson Corner(Nanas Road)

2009-04-26T14:03:00.009+08:00

This place is located at where i circled on the map.

This is the place to come whenever i want to eat "kampua".The kampua stall is the most corner one shown on this picture with the shell sponsored signboard.

This Kampua@RM2.60 for me is consider the best kampua in Kuching.Whenever i come here,i will order their kampua with chili sauce and soy sauce.The reason i like so much about this kampua is because thier char sio and the gravy(if you order the one with chili and soy sauce) which makes this kampua so delicious.The taste is not that spicy,instead its a little bit sweet and spicy. So my suggestion is,when you came here,order the one with chili and soy sauce.

Some nice foods here you can try is the claypot noodle and fishball special soup.

Elephant(Ang Cheng Ho)

2009-04-25T22:42:00.011+08:00

This place is located on where i circled on the map.

"Elephant",i think not much people know about this place because the location of this place is quite hidden,somebody might also missed it driving through here.

This my favorite place to have western food in Kuching. Their pasta and spaghetti is great.

One of their spaghetti you must try is their "smoked beef garlic pasta"@RM14.90. The gravy is rich and thick and with the combination of smoked beef slice makes this pasta superb.

Here's some of the list of foods they serve.

First time trying out this dish called "fried carbonara chicken chop"@RM14.90, it is a deep fried boneless chicken which comes along with a special dip sauce they made. Nothing much about the crispy chicken, but when you dip the chicken into the sauce,it is incredulous delicious.The taste of the dip sauce is some sort like mixture of cream of chicken and mushroom soup.

Last but not least thier mix grill@RM16.90, with chicken and lamb.The lamb and chicken taste quite average,but the sauce is nice,you have it either black pepper sauce or mushroom sauce.

Overall,the foods here may be a bit more expensive than places like Richmond and Westwood. But my suggestion is that the spaghetti and pasta here is a must try.

yeow kee kopitiam

2009-04-25T12:55:00.007+08:00

This place is located somewhere i circled on the map,but the map didn't show any shops there.

If you know where is premier 101,it is somewhere at the back of the left side of the whole area,you can see the shop if you at jalan kempas,it is a corner shop.

The bread toast there is popular because they use charcoal to toast the bread.It cost RM1.20per piece.The bread is quite nice and crispy,but nothing special for the butter and kaya.

Tryout the penang cha kuih tiaw at there,the stall is located outside.It cost RM3.50 each whether you want clam or prawn. This cha kuih tiaw tatse quite nice actually, the prawn taste great,i recomend to order the one with prawns.

Didn't manage to try the foods from other stalls,but i did saw many people order the fishball soup,you can have a try if you go there.

Thats all for this post,stay tuned!

Hui Sing Food Court

2009-04-24T22:15:00.013+08:00

This place is located at where i circled on the map.

This place is often crowded during crowded during afternoon and night,but note that most stall will be closing starting around 10:30.Not so much people tonight cause is raining.

I've ordered some foods from the popular stalls here.

Stall No.4 which specialist in 炒煮.Ordered their tomato mee, not quite nice to be honest. Their gravy is not really sour,instead it taste quite salty but at least the ingredients they used is not bad.Overall this is just an average tomato mee.

Stall No.10,the satay and kankong balacan stall, ordered their pork satay which cost RM0.50 each. My good comments,this satay has quite a lot of meat and the peanut gravy is great. My bad comments,certain part of the satay taste a bit bitter, you will know why judging from the picture below.You can try their kankong balacan which is nice but quite expensive costing around RM7 above each.

Stall No 12,cha kuih stall,ordered their sweet cha kuih@RM3.00(big). Can't say is the best cha kuih i've ever tried in Kuching,but it taste quite nice.My suggestion,just give it a try.

Some suggestion from me when you come here.Since the area is quite wide here it is preferable to seat in the middle so that you can easily order foods from both left sides and right sides and easy for foods to delivered to you, but note that you can only order the drinks from the stalls nearby your seats.

Overall,my own suggestion,just an average supper place.But there is an stall selling ais kacang which is nice,it is somewhere located on the right side where someone is selling kuih at there,it should be the only stall selling ais kacang at that side, you can have a try there during a hot sunny afternoon.

Jade Pot(Ban Hock Road)

2009-04-22T12:06:00.011+08:00

Jade pot is located at Ban Hock road.It is located at where i circle on the map.

This place mainly sell Taiwanese foods.

Their drinks is nice but quite expensive.Honey Green Tea@RM3.00

Blueberry Milky tea@RM3.00+RM0.50(with pearl,珍珠)

century egg + beancurd@RM2.00

This is their side dish, , it taste great because they use the sesame oil with chili,and it is just a little bit spicy so its suitable for all ages.This food is served cold.

ma-lak noodles(嘛辣面)@RM4

My favorites dish at there,you can have it in three levels of spiciness(小辣,中辣,大辣).It is preferable to have 中辣 which is moderate. The reason i love this dish is because of the combination of chili oil they used and the preserved sze chuan vegetable(四川菜) and minced meat which makes this dish spicy and delicious.

Fermented Red beancurd(南乳) meat with rice@RM5

which is also one of my favourite dish,they marinade the meat with Fermented Red beancurd(南乳) and deep fried it.The outer layer of the meat is crispy and yet the meat inside is still juicy.

Another dish you should try here is the beef noodle.

Shong Hin Porridge(Open Air Market)

2009-04-20T21:51:00.007+08:00

This place is located at open air market,the one at the back where most seafood are sold there.

So is not under the same roof with the "shio bee".

The porridge stall is the second one from the left of this picture.I think most of you know the porridge here since is quite popular and its been operating for quite some time already.The stall only operating during night until late night.

The porridge is consider average for me only,the porridge is too watery which makes the porridge quite plain,so it would only taste much better with the soy sauce and pepper.

What i only like about the porridge is the meat balls.

Nothing much about the food there,most of them are selling seafood.

Rocket Cafe(3rd mile)

2009-04-19T12:08:00.010+08:00

This food court is located at 3rd mile,rock road,somewhere near the 3rd mile Amazing Pets branch.

Is located at where i circled on the map.

First time eating here,not really crowded here,only few stalls are operating even though inside is quite big.Tryout the fish fillet bee hoon here.

This bowl cost RM4.50.The taste is not that sour and quite plain, but the bee hoon is a lot so as the ingredients.This fish fillet bee hoon is quite like the mee sua just that it is fish not chicken.

I think their fish head bee hoon taste better and more sour which is nice, but didn't manage to take a photo of it.Another difference is that the bee hoon is thicker like the "zao cai"beehoon.

So when you go there,i would suggest you all to order the fish head beehoon not the fish fillet beehoon which is shown on the picture,it taste much better if you like it sour.

Tempayaki(Spring Food Court)

2009-04-18T16:35:00.010+08:00

Trying out the tempayaki at Spring's food court.

Seems like kuching in google map is still living in the past.Anyway, lets talk about food,the tempayaki sold at spring food court.

This is the chicken tempayaki set which comes with a cup of hot tea and fragrant rice which cost RM10.50

Can't consider is expensive or cheap,but it sure satisfies hunger.The taste of the chicken is quite delicious and tender,the beansprout taste quite nice too and it is not plain.

This dish is "shintake mushroom",it taste great.The mushroom smell is not that heavy which is good and very "Q".This plate cost RM4.

My suggestion, even though is quite expensive,but is worth a try.

Peach Garden(jalan song)

2009-04-17T22:31:00.012+08:00

This place is located at where i circled on the map.

I'm sure most of you know this place already.

This is the supper place for the citizens of Kuching, so what to eat since there is so many choices here. Well, i'm going to suggest some of the food that is nice and delicious.

One of the food you should tryout is the 油條.This stall is located outside at the first few stalls.

This cost RM2.50 ,it has quite a lot of meat and crab meat filling in between the 油條 and a lot of mayonnaise .They deep fried the 油條 with the meats which make it crispy and delicious. Although is quite expensive, i think it is worth it.

The HK style cha kuih here is a must try. This plate shown here cost RM4.00 and its delicious,the cha kuih is cut in big cubes,the combination of the bean sprout and the vegetarian sambal taste great with the cha kuih. This stall is located inside area at the corner.

This is the "pa mee"版面 which is also a must try,this stall here is actually not on the peach garden side,this stall its also located outside but near "xin wan" food court,but can be order from peach garden,you can ask the people who order drinks to order it for you.

This bowl only cost RM3.50 which is cheap because it is a lot so as the ingredient,it contains meat balls,meat,"Ma Ni Chai",fish cake and anchovies which taste delicious and still crispy even it is soak in the soup, the soup taste great.I suggest to add in the soy sauce with cilipadi if you like it spicy.

Thats all for this post. So go and have a try,enjoy!

老李food court(ban hock road)

2009-04-17T13:15:00.008+08:00

This food court is located at ban hock road which is shown on the map on where i circled.

I will make a new post with the picture of the food court when i go there.

I was suggested to try out one of the kuih at here which they bought back, which is the "chai thao kuih" in hokkien.

This "chai thao kuih" taste great because of the shrimp mixture inside and it is still crispy even it is brought back from there hours ago. They say it is fried on spot and sold hot and delicious at there unlike many stalls which is ready made from home and sold outside.

One of the foods that must tryout at there is definitely the pork leg rice, it is one of the best i've ate in Kuching.I will make a food review about it soon.

"lucky" day(updated)

2009-04-15T17:03:00.004+08:00

Guess what?for the first time,i'm stuck in a lift, for 40+ minutes, luckily only at the second floor.

How it feel?hot(1o people inside), stuffy and boring. But brings up some funny and interesting conversation inside.

One of the conversation from the speaker when we rang the help bell.

Some girl from the speaker:对不起哦,他们还没来.要等一下.
C : 等几下啊?
Some girl from the speaker:我不知道bo,他们说on the way從Batu Kawa來.
Everyone: Hah???!!!

In chinese
A: So hot, luckily got brought drinks along(Open ups her bag and take out a bottle of water)
B: You sure?There's no toilet here oh.
A:"Do it" here lo(giggles)
B:(speechless)

To be honest,quite a memorable day for me.

Big potato 炒煮

2009-04-14T22:29:00.004+08:00

This food review i'm gonna do on this post is the located at the same place i review of my previous post. So do refer back to the map with the link if you've forgotten the directions.

This food review is the stall next to the kolomee stall,is the 炒煮 stall.

This is the tomato bee hoon, which one thier famous dishes, the sourness of the gravy is moderate, not too sour and their char shio is also nice.

This is the fried small mee, what i like about this dish is that they deep fried the mee and fried it again which makes the mee quite crispy but not too crispy which is moderate and thier mee is not too dried.

The bad comment i'm going to give about this dish is that the taste is quite plain, so i would suggest to add thier soy sauce with chilipadi provided to improve the taste.

One thing i've have to note is that the price of each 炒煮 here is quite expensive which cost RM4 each.

Their honey chrysanthernum drink is really nice and refreshing and this ends this post.

Complete new look

2009-04-14T22:18:00.001+08:00

One thing for sure after i've completed my new look for my blog,TIRED!having class from 8am - 3pm today come back and start this new-look-blog-work till now. its sure hard to find a suitable template, but at least i'm satisfy with this new look,hope you guys like it too.

2009-04-14T16:06:00.001+08:00

Trying to change the boring background/template.Things might get messy here.

It will be done by tonight,i hope.

Red Kolomee(sekama)

2009-04-13T23:03:00.005+08:00

This place is located at where i circled on the map.

Don't know the name of this coffee shop, but it is a corner shop as i had circled on the map. They are famous for their red or as known as (char shio yew)kolomee here but they do sell other food here too. This coffee shop is operating at morning and night until late night.

This bowl cost RM2.80. Their "char shio" is quite nice and taste of the mee is not that sweet, it has barbeque flavour because of its (char shio yew) they used which is quite original.

I would not say its delicious if compare to the kolomee on the previous post. The negative points i'm gonna give to this kolomee is that the kolomee is quite dried which i don't like about kolomee.

Thats all for this post.stay tuned for more updates.

2 dollars chicken rice(jalan mendu)

2009-04-12T11:53:00.003+08:00

Trying out the RM2 chicken rice near my house.Its located at the shop house block at jalan mendu near sjk chung hua no.5. Its located at the place that i circled on the map.

Didn't manage to take picture outside the shop.

Here's some picture of the chicken rice i ordered.

I didn't order the RM2 ones, instead i asked for drumstick for 2 person which cost RM 8 which includes 2 rice.

Well, whats important is taste,right?The rice taste like every other chicken rice shop in kuching, but the chicken is quite different, the meat is quite tender,juicy and a little bit cold, in a delicious way with thier sauce provided.

Thats the end of this post, stay tuned.

五味汤 and curry puff(open air market and india street)

2009-04-11T16:36:00.002+08:00

Remember the 五味汤 i mentioned about on my previous post, will be sharing some pictures with you all, is the same place, open air market.

This is the stall i'm talking about

If you ask me whats so special about the 五味汤 here, is the special jelly here. not the pink colours one, is the almost transparent cube-like thing.

Close-up look of "yi bee" and the jelly i mentioned about, What i like about this jelly is that its very nice to bite, or like the Taiwanese always like to describe "Q". My recommendation,is a must try for anyone. A big bowl cost only RM1.50.

After that walk to india street to find out where the curry puff which many people introduce.

Sorry because no pictures is available for this place cause is not properly shown at google map. For the directions,lets start from the Bata Shop, if the bata shop is on your right, walk straight and take the first right turn, after that you should able to see the shop on your left. Theres 2 curry puff shop joining together but i think is not owned by the same owner. i bought back the curry puffs from the shop on left.

Each cost RM1.50 which is reasonable for me because its quite big and a lot of meats and potato inside. It is quite delicious, but i prefer it to be spicier.

That's all for this post.If there is any question, do post a comment and let me know.

食尚玩家

2009-04-11T13:01:00.001+08:00

My favorite food shows in Taiwan. They've been to KL to introduce foods, unfortunately is not uploaded in youtube.

You can catch their shows if you have astro,TVBS asia, Monday-Thursday, 10pm-11pm. Saturdays, 11pm-12pm.

E-Taste Food Court(RH plaza)

2009-04-10T23:54:00.004+08:00

This place is located at BDC RH plaza, it can be found at the area i've circled.

The coffee shop is at the corner. Only the hot pot stall and the kitchen at the back is operating during night. The hot pot stall is famous for its mutton soup and curry mutton soup.

The curry mutton soup is my favorite pick among the choice. The taste of the soup is not that spicy yet is delicious because is cooked with the lamb which improved the taste. It's a must try.

This one is the Asam fish. The taste is quite nice, but is nothing special since the taste is almost similar to other places.

Mushroom Pork Soup, first time trying this dish, and is surprisingly delicious for me who doesn't like to eat braised pork , because it doesn't have the strong braised taste, instead it taste really nice. My suggestion, just have a try.

Overall 5 pots,9 rice. RM40.++.One hot pot may cost you around RM6-7, is a recommendation from me if you and your family want a light dinner.

For your information, not all same choices you can get everyday here, they have different menus each day but the famous ones like the curry mutton soup and mutton soup will be selling for most days. Their menus timetable is paste on their stall

Open Air Market(Next to Electra House)

2009-04-10T18:00:00.003+08:00

This place is located somewhere at the padang merdeka.This place is always crowded with people when night falls, is a great place for supper.

There have been some changes to the roads here at open air market, but there is no update here at google map, so what you've seen on the map is not the same anymore,the road has became one way, but the place(open air market) should be easy to recognized at somewhere where i circled on the map.

The famous sio bee sold at there. The price of this sio bee is quite expensive, it cost RM0.60 per piece which the size of it is small. But anyway, its delicious but not worth it.

One beverage i will recommend there is the 五味汤 which is one of the nicest one i've ever tried in Kuching. The 五味汤 stall i recommended is the one located behind which they only mainly sell 五味汤 not the other one at the front.

Golden Arch Laksa(3rd Mile)

2009-04-10T16:24:00.005+08:00

This place can be seen easily at the round about at 3rd mile just follow the one i cirlced on the map provided.

I think most of you eaten before the laksa here since is popular of its big prawn.

It has 2 coffee shop in a block and open space sitting area in between for the customer. This laksa stall is the coffee shop at the back.

This laksa is consider my favorites laksa in kuching. This bowl cost RM3.5o cause i order small one with more bee hoon. The laksa soup here is a bit different here, its not too spicy and it brings a little bit of sweetness maybe because of the coconut milk which makes the soup rich.

Some others things you should try out here too is the curry chicken rice selling at the front coffee shop.

ABC Food Court(Somewhere after Sekama)

2009-04-10T00:48:00.003+08:00

Having Lunch at here.this place is located at where i circled on the map.
The food choice at here is quite much, but i've only ever tried out few of the stalls.

Chicken eating house have just open its new small branch/stall at here. I ordered their chicken rice.

This plate cost RM4.50, which is consider the standard chicken rice price in Kuching. Well, the rice is ok for me, but the meat is quite disappointing cause they given me all breast meat, but it did came with the salted/preserved vegetable which taste not bad. Overall, i would say it is worth it because it has a lot of meat, but tastiness not as good as other stall found in Kuching.

Well, i think most of you know that 2 dollars chicken rice stall is starting to increase here in kuching, there's one that have just newly opened near my house, don't have a chance to try it since it sold out so fast. Hope will have a chance to try it and share my thoughts with you guys here.

Back to ABC food court,some of the food here i will recommend is the roti canai and Chicken Noodle.

Thats all for this post. Will be updating A.S.A.P

Another "it"

Another one show up,hiding in the dark

Big Potato Cafe(petanak)

2009-04-08T23:59:00.004+08:00

Finally,my first post for food, this place is called Big Potato(大番薯)in Chinese. Its located somewhere around Petanak.(click to enlarge photo) which can be found at where i circled in the map.

The food choice is not much as other food courts,but most of the foods here taste nice especially the kolo mee stall and 炒煮stall.

Outside view of the shop.

I order the kolo mee, which i like most at there

This bowl of mee cost RM2.70 which is very worth it considering its amount of mee and meat.

Others thing which can be try at there is the tomato bee hoon at there.

Thats all for this post.Stay tuned for updates.
