Pooh's Cream Roll


Don't really remember since when i start to fall in love with Pooh, i just could not resist anything regarding Pooh. This was a double cream roll, chocolate and vanilla (other flavours are available) from Silver Bird i ate during my last trip back home, i haven't seen it in Kuching so far. Nothing special about the cream roll itself, after all, it was just an ordinary one. But what made it so special to me was its packaging, there was a chef Pooh with his friend, Tigger on it, so cute!!!

Dinner before Vince back

Finally, it's dinner time and Vince decided to try at Zhong Yuan Kitchen near Premier 101 Commercial Centre. By the time we reached there, it was almost full house, the place we took was also just left by a couple...


One can easily look into the kitchen.. Watching at the chefs preparing and cooking while waiting..

We ordered a big pot of chinese tea.. Oriental food goes well with chinese tea...

Our Unagi sticks served with thousand islands sauce recommended by the waitress.. Delicious, crispy, basically, superb!


Belachan Bidin, for west Malaysian out there, this is a kind of fern, from the jungle and i guess we could hardly see this as commonly as over this unique Borneo island, if any.

Stewed pork ribs with wine. I like it but Vince didn't really like it.. Well, things can be subjective at times :)

Home-made bean curd.. Not that special.. Just like ordinary japanese bean curd that we can easily get in the market :)



Plain fragrance rice for two.. It was special just because it was served with this cute little rice pot :>

Kenny Rogers Roasters in Boulevard

After breakfast in Madam Tang's, we decided to go over Boulevard, the second biggest and latest shopping mall in Kuching. Frankly, we were there for him to donate blood as there was a blood donation going on and with each successful donation, there will be a pack of FOC 5 kg rice!! Furthermore, it was quite some time since his last blood donation , not to mention myself, i am always underweight for blood donation. :( But we changed our mind after the registration as our registration number was 180 but the one going on was 70+, mm.. the whole process was just too slow!!

Then we window-shopped around.. Oh ya, we did buy some chocolate as well as hair bands :) By noon, we just went into Kenny Rogers without thinking much.. Maybe it's because we missed out our roasted chicken in Kenny Rogers in Bukit Tinggi the last time.


My quater roasted black pepper chicken with macaroni, maize and fruit salad.. Mm.. quite disappointing..The chicken was not served hot, the maize was obviously not fresh to be golden.. The most satisfying was the fruits, ha.. I like fruits!!

Vince's baked sweet potato with yummy cheese on top.. Mm.. this was nice.. the sweet potato was simply hot and of course, sweet!!


My hot Chocolate drink...


And lastly, not without vanilla flavor-muffin in Kenny Rogers!!

Mm.. leave some for me please...

Laksa Sarawak..

Vince missed Laksa Sarawak so much, so, i brought him to Madam Tang's, the most popular Laksa in town. In fact, this was the second time he was here-- Madam Tang's Laksa Sarawak, in Tabuan Stutong. :)


They offer only 3 in their menu, Laksa Sarawak, Nasi Lemak and Beef Noodle. So, Vince got himself a Special Laksa Sarawak.. How is this differ from the ordinary one is that they give 3 big prawns in Special Laksa Sarawak instead of a few small little shrimps in ordinary one.



While I'd never tried on its beef noodle, i got this for myself. The beef was tender and for the noodle, it only made me miss the dried toss pan mee that i ate in Ampang..


In fact, i was here with my friends a week ago. We were here for its Laksa after coming back from hospital but all the Laksa was sold out by 1pm, so we had ourselves beef as well as chicken Nasi Lemak. Both were delicious but personally i prefer beef nasi lemak better :>

Jase's Tea Room


After coming out from The Spring, just before going back home, Vince and me stopped by Jase's Tea Room to have a drink. It was strongly recommended by one of my friend and after we experienced it ourselves, we agreed with her, it was really a great place!!

Once entered into the room, i like the place! The atmosphere was good, it was so quiet with soft music playing in the background. Its interior design was great, each corner has its own design with its uniqueness. In the end, we decided to sit by the counter.


Our pot of pink rose bud tea, recommended by the lady at the counter.. Mmm.. the aroma was good. I like it plain but Vince reassured me adding in a sugar cube was nicer.

Our slice of Black Forest Cheese Cake.. Yummy....

Juicy roasted chicken wings... It was tasty even without the sauce..








Ha.. some of the photos taken just for fun... ;P

Dine in Westwood

Vince came over last weekend. He landed around 5+. As soon as he had his shower, we headed to Westwood Continental Cuisine, one of the cheapest and popular cafe for steak in town.

The outlook of the cafe.. by the time we reached there, there were quite a number of people inside..



One of the corner in the cafe... The whole cafe was lit up with dim light, enhancing its customers' appetite for food.






Apart from the main course, we ordered some side dishes...



One of which was this bowl of mushroom soup...

And these cute little mussels with cheese powder on top...






My grilled fish..Such a big one only cost us RM11..


Vince's black pepper lamb shank. He was quite shocked to find it came with a fried egg apart from the potato wedges and salad, ha.. Overall, the taste was just average but the price was reasonable..

Uncle Bobby's Chicken Chop

This was a few weeks back, after the night of our first on-call, before going back home, we stopped by to have our dinner in Uncle Bobby's chicken chop, one of the stall in Jalan Song hawker centre, near where I'm currently in. The reason i suggested and chose this was because this friend of mine likes chicken chop so much since she'd been to Taiwan. :)

My original chicken chop.... Crispy outside, but it was tender inside..

Her spicy chicken chop that was cut into small pieces.. mm.. this was even nicer than the original one.. but was a bit too salty comparatively.



How about the drinks? Tada.. both of us got ourselves one coconut each.. Went just nice with the fried stuff..

See... She looked so cheerful with her spicy chicken chop in hand.. One can easily know that the chicken chop was nice... Oops, just noticed that her shirt actually matched the coconut :)
