My Food Adventure

Westwood

2009-11-13T10:46:00.005+08:00

Whenever I crave for Fish and Chips, I'll go for Westwood. They serve GIANT Fish Fillet!! I was told Patio's Fish and Chips is much better but i've yet to give it a try...

Garlic Bread's much better than Pizza Hut!

Lamb chop with Black Pepper sauce

Chicken Chop with Mushroom Sauce

The BEST CHICKEN RICE IN KUCHING...

2009-11-03T11:59:00.007+08:00

We used to have Chicken Rice at least once a week when Ah Ma was around so we've tried most of the chicken rice in town.

Hainan Street at BDC and the Chicking Eating House's chicken rice are equally delicious but the later is more value for $$$ in terms of serving size and price.

If you happen to visit this place, don't miss their Crispy Fried Chicken Wings and Thai Style Fried Bean Curd too...

One Month Later ...

2009-10-07T22:13:00.008+08:00

Over 20 Break -ins, Vehicle theft Cases solved..

"Police have solved more than 20 cases of housebreaking and vehicle thefts here following the arrest of 11 persons and the recovery of RM450,000 worth of loot"

Borneo Post 6th October 2009

Today is Exactly One Month after that incident and dad was at the Police Station today to identify if any of the recovered stolen properties belonged to us.

There was a Toshiba Laptop but different Model..

NO LUCK!!!

What have I learnt from this incident?

I appreciate my Personal Belonging MORE than EVER..

I ADMIT

I have this Bad Habit of Not Appreciating Whatever I have cos they all come easily..

But after What I used to belong GONE FOREVER, I TREASSURE Them ALL..!

I Learnt from the Hard Way and It HURTS..!!

No Mood.....

2009-09-16T13:06:00.005+08:00

I've been bad mood since my House Break In on 7th September..

A Day I shall REMEMBER FOR LIFE!

It happened in the afternoon and everything gone in less than 2 Hours time!!

My laptop, watches, digital camera.... jewelry, cash... etc

ALL GONE!!

Why??

Why all the bad things happened to us after my grandma passed away?

Why they wanted to steal my laptop and digital camera which stored all the sweet memories with my belated grandma?

Those are the things I valued the MOST!!

What Can our Police do??

Can they do anything?

2 Policemen came after the incident but they just stood outside our house...

Didn't even bother to come in.

8 Hours later another 2 policemen came for fingerprints...

I'm Helpless... and living in FEAR!!

My Favourite "Snack" Combo

2009-09-05T10:18:00.003+08:00

How Do you find this picture?

To me, it was DISGUSTING!!

This is one of stalls at Grand Margherita Hotel (Formerly known as Holiday Inn) Buka Puasa Buffet.. Even a Lamb Lover like me Dare not have a bite on this after seeing this... Err...

Kwali

2009-09-04T12:02:00.007+08:00

I've been Eyeing on this Eatery for a long long time... Kwali near Stutong Market.

THey used to serve Fast Food on Individual Kwali (Wok) instead of those typical Food Warmer but now they've changed to be specialised on certain Food Only... I.e. Ayam Penyet, Nasi Lemak and Nasi Bryani.

Ayam Penyet

This is the Nicest Ayam Penyet in town, nice in the sense that their Drumstick is Moist and tender unlike other eatery which serve Hard and Dry Ayam Penyet!

As for their Sambal, I still prefer "Raja" Ayam Penyet's Sambal which is Fiery HOT!!

Nasi Lemak

Nasi Bryani Combo Set

Ulam

Ta Wan Kung

2009-09-04T11:42:00.004+08:00

Ribena Homemade Yogurt Cheesecake

2009-08-31T16:26:00.005+08:00

Some regarded this as a "GUILT FREE" Cheesecake without the Fattening Whipping Cream but this cake is meant for children who can't take Sourly Plain Yogurt but loves RIBENA!!

KFC

2009-08-30T20:12:00.004+08:00

I was craving for KFC so I had my order just before the shop's about to close. I was in shock when I saw the smallest ever drumstick i've ever had!! The size was about the size of my second Finger... No JOKE!!!

Perhaps it has been kept in the warmer for the whole day and thus, it shrinked to such a Small Size... POOr Baby Drumstick!!

Noticed It was as "BIG" as a CHicken Wing???

Haw Flake Cupcakes

2009-08-30T17:24:00.006+08:00

Haw flakes are Chinese sweets made from the fruit of the Chinese hawthorn. The dark pink candy is formed into discs one millimeter thick, packaged in rolls of seventeen discs and sold in packs of ten rolls.

I've been having this since I was little and now is my little nieces and nephew generations and yet, Haw Flakes still exist!

When little Felicia first saw this cupcakes, she said they were "Sausages"!! !! Almost Fainted with her "SMART" Guess...

Miss Universe 2009

Minced Pork Rice

Very Salty!!Braised Beef Tendon

Too Much Vinegar and Really SOUR!!

Kuching Sio Bee 烧卖

~ Above photos were taken from Alexallied~

Many Kuching People would claim that " Sin Kwang Heng" Sio Bee at the Open Air Market would be the best.

Kuching Sio Bee ~ RM o.50 each..

Ah Ma Vs Sushi King

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

Knowing AhMa, She will NEVER Go for Expensive Dining.....

It WAS A GREAT BARGAIN!!

VALUE FOR $$$...

We Were there during the RM 2 Sushi King Card Bonanza.

At first, She Refused to go.... Knowing there Must Be Long Queue..

Luckily We Managed to Bring her... For the Very LAST TIME..

She Seemed to Enjoy Her Sushi...

My Very Last Photo With her...

She Was Aiming for the "Mini Octopus"!!

GoodBye Ah Ma !

2009-07-05T16:41:00.011+08:00

When the World Is Paying Tribute to the Famous Michael Jackson, My Family and I are suffering from the Lost of My Beloved Grandma ~ Whom I called

"Ah Ma"

Ah Ma Was a was a Thrifty and Gutsy Lady due to her Background.

Became a Widow at only 28, she was Forced to leave her children behind and Worked in Seria to Earn a Living
Lost her Right Eyesight due to Glaucoma
Removed her breasts at the Age of 80 due to Breast Cancer.
Undergone Numerous Chemoteraphy at the Age of 80++

She has Suffered throughtout her life, but she Never Complainted.

I have been Close to her since she was staying with us all this while..

I'm her Grandaughter Cum Personal Nurse
I Took Care of her when she had her Breast Removed..
It was a Heart Breaking Long Process Seeing an Old Lady Suffered

I'm still living in the World of Denial..

I couldn't believe she has left us forever.
Having Sleepless Night since the Day she left.. and Afraid to Wake up in the Middle of the Night and realised this was Not a DREAM!

Old people's life is like a "Candle in the Wind".. So FRAGILE..

They May be Healthy at One Moment but Collapse with NO Sign..

Do whatever you could when they're Alive.. and you shall Not Regret thereafter.

I Truly LOVE Her...Although I didn't Express Much!

I'm the One Taking Care of her but I'm not Good Enough..
So Many Things I should have done but I Didn't Manage to. . and Now ...I have NO CHANCE in doing so.

GoodBye Ah Ma...

I LOVE YOU!

My Last Present For Her...

She Was My "Queen Of Heart"

29.01.1926 ~ 29.06.2009

FRESHLY BAKED .....

Marble "Sliced" Cheesecake

2009-06-17T08:07:00.003+08:00

Using Sliced Cheese in this Cheesecake has Turned this into a Truly Yummy Baked Cheesecake!

I like the "TEXTURE"

Spongy and Smooth !

One Slice Is DEFINITELY NOT ENOUGH!!

Little Cottage

2009-06-16T17:25:00.011+08:00

Should I Regard this place as a Restaurant? Cafe? OR.....???

This is A Totally Different Experience when you're here...

It is located in A Housing Area behind Kuching Specialist Centre ~ at Someone's House! Yup, an Eatery Built Next to this Single Storey house and they are Sharing the Same Gate!

The Entrance

Limited Dishes are served.. Mainly Nonya Food in the afternoon and Western Food at Night.

Asam Fish Rm 6.50

I am NOT Asam Fish Lover But I certainly LOVE THIS!
Unlike the Typical Runny Waterly Gravy, this is THICK and Full of Flavours!

Ayam Ponteh Rm7

Not Bad, but the Radish is a Bit Hard..
I Finished the Gravy as It reminded me of the "Taste" I had when I was Little

Beef Rendang Rm 7

The Taste was there but the BEEF Was Too "Tough" for Us..

We Were suppose to order Nasi Lemak but the Lady Owner Kindly reminded us we had ordered Too Much Food for Two persons. So I ordered the "Sambal" instead..

She didn't Charge us for the "Sambal" and I like the Way she does Business.... Unlike others who are Overly "PUSHY" for More PROFITs!

This is the Typical Bario Rice OR "Red Rice" which is More Nutricious and Expensive.

I have been having this since I was little till I complainted to my Dad when I've Grown up and Said

"I've HAD ENOUGH! I WANT WHITE RICE!"

Little Cottage

Close on Sunday
Open for Lunch Only for Weekdays and Dinner Available only on Weekends.

Pig Trotter with Soya Bean

2009-06-11T22:03:00.008+08:00

“A Pig Trotter a Day helps to keep Wrinkles Away?

It is Scientifically AND Historically PROVEN that Pork Collagen Easily Absorbed by Human Bio Mechanisms.

Who wouldn’t Eat some Pork Skin if you can get that Supple, Soft, Smooth and Totally Bliss-Inducing High Feeling from Touching Your Own Face?

Eating Pig Skin for Collagen and Beauty is something that My Family Practiced … and loved!

I always Find Ways to Cook Pig Trotter and I Never Relate Soya Beans In Cooking Until I saw this in Aunty Terri's Blog!

INTERESTING!!

It Took More Than 3 Hours To Soften the BEANS Even I've Soaked OVernight!!

This Recipe was Suppose to add Rock Sugar but I Omitted the Sugar. The Natural Sweetness From the Soya Beans Goes Well With the Pork Trotter, Mushroom, Sauces....Etc And It Was

SuperDELICIOUS!!

Definitely Worth The Time and Effort for Preparing This !

Hong Kong Noodle House

2009-06-11T17:26:00.011+08:00

Hong Kong Noodle House was the Place I used to Visit When I was Little.

Their Hainamese Chicken Rice, Fried Rice, Chilli Oil were THE BEST in those days.

Still maintained its Standard TILL they've Expanded ...

Everything CHANGED!!

Plain Noodle

This is a MUST When I was little.
Price has Increased from Rm 1 TO Rm1.80
Luckily the Taste Still Remained!

Plain Porridge Rm1

Real Big Bowl of Porridge!

Crispy Fried Pork Intestine

I was there Because of this Particular Dish But It Turned out to be A REAL DISAPPOINTMENT!
Rubbery and Funny Taste!
Not Crispy AT ALL!

Stir Fry Kailan

Pan Fry Eggs with Radish

Stir Fry Pork with SzeChuan Preserved Vege

FAILED!

Country Court Restaurant

2009-06-10T14:37:00.004+08:00

It is SAD To Say that Most Eateries in Kuching Failed to Maintain its Food Standard/Quality.

When you have a Good Dining Experience This Time DOESN'T GUARANTEE you'll have the same Standard Next Round...

It is INTERESTING to Find Out How Taiwanese can MAINTAIN its FOOD STANDARD from Generation to Generations ...

Country Court is One Of the Very Few Restaurant We "STICK" to as this is My Dad's ONE & ONLY Choice!! Their Food Standard is Maintained, Service Is Fast and Price Is Reasonable...

Deep Fried Spring Chicken, Stir Fry Mani Chai ( Cangkuk Manis) with Eggs and Stir Fry "Gluten" with Mixed Vegetables are What We'll Never Miss ...

Deep Fried Crispy Spring Chicken

The Skin Was Real CRISPY!!

Request for Freshly Fried Spring Chicken and Not Those Hanging Out there!!

Homemade Shepherd's Pie

2009-06-09T11:43:00.010+08:00

Shepherd's Pie also known as Cottage Pie, refers to an English Meat Pie with a Crust made from Mashed Potato and Beef. Basically it is Meat Pie with a layer of Mashed Potato replacing the usual Pastry Crust.

The Strong and Unbearable Beefy Smell Shepherd's Pie bought from Aloha Bakery made me decided to make my Own Shepherd's Pie.

Aloha's Shepherd's Pie

I Used Minced Chicken to Replace Beef and Omit Green Peas to avoid the colour turns unsightly over time.

Pandan Rainbow Kuih

2009-06-06T17:34:00.007+08:00

After having the Rainbow Kueh at 6 Fook Coffee Shop, I Promised Dylan I'll Make him One Big Tray of Rainbow Kueh!

He was Excited to join me in the Making Process ..

I used 100% Pandan Juice with No Artificial Colouring Except The TOP Part.

I Guess What Makes Dylan Or Little Children Loves Rainbow Kueh is the "Colouring" Which First Attracted them. Secondly, it was Due to the "FUN" of "Peeling" Rainbow Kueh Layer by Layer..

Not So Much On the "Taste" Though....

The " Pandan" Batter

The "Original" Batter

The Tedious Part is the "Waiting" and "Steaming" Process!

Layer By Layer ...

Ready To Serve .....

The Taste of the Kuih here are "Above Average" and So does the Price!

Rainbow Kueh Is Dylan's Favourite ~ RM0.60 per pcs

3 pcs of Rainbow Kuih = Ham Chi Peng!

Real "Tiny" Little Piece ...

We Were there because of this Highly Recommended "Hakka Noodles"

Disappointed!

The WORST Dinner .... Ever...

2009-06-01T23:51:00.013+08:00

No Matter How LATE It is RIGHT NOW, I have to Make Sure I Finish This Post Before going to Bed!

Initial Plan Was having Seafood at Taman Kereta ( Top Spot) but Ended up at Teck Seng Seafood ~ Pending Seafood Centre .

This was Our FIRST and Definitely Will be the LAST TIME eating here...

Service ? TERRIBLE!

Cleaniness? Even WORST!!

Can you Imagine "BLACK Water Spot" appreared on their Straw? As if they are "Recycling" their Straw by Picking them up from the DRAIN?? The Next thing was their Mug... "Food Stain" still STICKED Onto it!! Oh... HORRIBLE!!

Before the Food was served, I've already asked whether or not to PROCEED??

Salted Vege " Kiam Chai" Soup

Real Salty!

Midin With Red Wine

Feel Like Eating "Blanched" Midin, TASTELESS!

Deep Fried ?? Fish

Crispy and Nice...

We Ordered Steamed Whole Fish but they served Two Pieces of Fish Cutlets in Teochew Style... We were a bit Suspicious but Continued eating.....

When we were "Struggling" Finishing THe fish, OUR INITIAL ORDER was served!

I told the Waitress We've almost finished our Fish already but She just said

" The Teochew Steamed Fish Belongs to Other Table, Not Yours!"

" I don't know, you just tell the Cashier when you make payment!"

GONE!!

We Both Stared at the Fish and Feel Like Vomiting before eating.... Never Ever Had 3 Fishes In a Meal.....and the Worst Thing is Just TWO Of US!

I Threw Out after My Fist Bite, My Mouth's Full of Fish Scales!! They Didn't clean their Fish PROPERLY ! !

The Lady Boss came later and said

" Oh..... you've already Eaten Two Fishes... So.....

Before She Continued Talking, My Friend Instructed her to "CHARGE ACCORDINGLY"! Hai...... Why He Discountinued her conversation? I want to know what was she trying to Say .. .

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE Experience!

It Ruined and Spoilt Our Mood for the Entire Night!!

2009-05-30T14:28:00.006+08:00

"MAGGIE MEE"

" Cepat Dimasak, Sedap Dimakan! "

I can still remembered Maggie's Advertisement when I was little! Maggie Mee is something One Can't Resist! Even Kids!

Little Dylan Can't Take Spicy Food, even with Little Pepper Added still Complainted " Lak Lak"! But He Loves Maggie Mee Goreng ~ Curry Flavour Somemore!! He Rather Drink More Water whenever he Had this!

This is a Very Simple yet Tasty Dish! The Important Trick Is Do not OVerdone with the Noodle .... Just A quick Blanch will Do because You will Stir Fry Later .....

As for the Seasoning, It depends very much on Individual. To me, One Pack of Maggie Curry Seasoning Is just Nice for Two Packs of Noodles...

Tata........ Ready To Serve!!

Mix Grill

2009-05-27T14:54:00.005+08:00

This is My Favourite Place for Mix Grill ~ Located at Petanak Market Food Centre.

Prepare to "WAIT " When you're there because the Business Is So ...GOOD and basically, run by ONE Person only except Weekends or Holidays with the help of his children.

Mix Grill comes with Lamb Chop, Chicken Chop, Egg, Ham, Baked Beans, Fries and Salad! The Portion is LARGE! And the PRICE.....??

RM 11 !!!

UnBelievable? I Regarded this as THE MOST VALUE FOR $$$ Mixed Grill In Town!!

Noticed There were Two Different Knifes? Hee hee hee....... One of Those Belongs to ME!!

DON'T LAUGH!! This is The ONLY Place I'll Bring MY OWN "Knife" and "Mustard Sauce" because I had a HARD TIME using their Knife!! It is Just an ORDINARY BUTTER SPREAD Knife and I Have No Patience USing it!

Those Who " Laughed " at ME Ended Up Borrowing My KNIFE!! See...... ... I've Warned You!! ^-^

Tracy's Kitchen

2009-05-26T12:47:00.006+08:00

I was introduced to Tracy's Kitchen along Jalan Abell after watching Taiwanese Celebrity Chef Chen Hong 陈鸿's Programme Called "阿鸿上菜" many years ago.

Tracy's Kitchen Specialized in Pak Lo Duck and Chicken Since 1999.

Pak Lo Duck Or Better known as "Lor Ark" is a Traditional Teochew (Southern Chinese) way of Preparing Duck. The use of Galangal and Five-Spice Powder together with Sugar counters the Gamy Taste of the Duck meat!

Fresh Cucumber Juice Rm3

Tasteless ~ Probably This is How a PURE Cucumber Juice Should Taste like!

Pak Lo Duck Rm4.80 Egg Rm1

The sauce was Too SWEET for me!

Wine Chicken

Kangkung Belacan Rm3.50

Failed! No Belacan Taste At ALL!!

The Good Things about this Place are:

They serve only Drumstick cos I Don't Eat BREAST MEAT!
Very Clean Environment.
Free Peanuts Or Black Beans Soup Comes with Pak Lo Duck.. and the Most Important thing is you Wouldn't Get Thirsty after having the Soup!

Chicken Gizzard & Liver

2009-05-24T13:25:00.003+08:00

When I was Little, I Was " FORCED" To Eat "Weird Weird" food like Gizzard, Liver, Clam, Soft Boiled Eggs .... etc which was Believed to be " GOOD" for Kids! As a result, I NEVER Like any of the above since I was FORCED to Swallow!!

As I Grew Older, I began to Acquire the taste and this morning, I was Craving for Chicken Gizzard and Liver ~ which was supposed to be a Common Food but Ended up to be so Difficult to Find!

Almost Gave up after I've Been to Four Places but Luckily managed to Get this Stall at Tabuan Jaya! What to do? People are getting more Health Conscious these Days.......

After My Mother's Day's Order, I'm Already HALF DEAD .... but What to Do?? With the current H1N1 Outbreak , Sister Dare Not bring her 3 little Children to Crowded Restaurant...

Mum Made It Very CLEAR that NO CAKES, NO AGAR AGAR For her!!! Hee hee hee..... Probably she has already Fed Up with those things!! As in "Malay" ~ TENGOK PUN TAKUT !!

Paper Wrapped Chicken & Sambal "Ulam"

2009-05-05T13:56:00.005+08:00

Paper Wrapped Chicken is a POPULAR CANTONESE DISH which can't be found in our Local Restaurant.

The Majority In Kuching are "Hokkien" So if you Speak Cantonese like I do.... People will look at you DIFFERENTLY. They thought you're WEST MALAYSIAN.

The "SECRET" of this Popular Dish Lies in the MARINADE. Once the Wrapped Chicken Pieces are Deep Fried, the Marinade CARAMELIZES onto the Chicken and Other Ingredients, Joining them Together!

SAMBAL ULAM Is to MALAY CUISINE What the FRESH GARDEN SALAD Is to WESTERN CUISINE.

A COMPLETE MEAL for the DAY!

Deep Fried Glutinous Rice Ball

2009-05-03T19:46:00.005+08:00

Deep Fried Glutinous Rice Ball is Commonly found in Hong Kong Dim Sum.

"Lotus" OR " Red Bean" Paste are the Usual Filling selling in Kuching. I Don't like using the Ready Made "PASTE" as they're too SWEET !

I used " Roasted Peanuts+Sugar" as the "FILLING" and Mashed Sweet Potatoes + Glutinous Rice Flour+ Starch Flour for the "SKIN"

BEFORE

AFTER

DONE !!

Ajiten Ramen Japanese Restaurant

2009-05-03T16:05:00.012+08:00

The Courtyard Recipe

2009-05-02T11:02:00.020+08:00

My First Impression of this Restaurant was Serving Malay Food but to my surprise, this newly opened Restaurant along Jalan Tabuan served mainly Taiwanese Cuisine!!

Fruit Tea Rm 6
Iced Lemon Tea Rm3

Vietnamese Prawn

RM8 per 100g = RM 38.40 for 2 Prawns

Expensive But Tasted Great!

Tom Yam Soup Rm12

Stir Fry Middin Belacan Rm 8

Very Nice!!

Taiwanese Fried Oyster with Basil Rm12

Not to my liking, I still prefer the one I had in Taiwan OR The one I "Secretly" Fried in my Hostel Were Even BETTER!! Ha ha ha....

I will Definitely be back for MORE but the only Drawback is ~They only have "Big" Tables for the Air Conditioned section so we were "Politely" invited to the "Open" area where I Got Mosquitoes Bites!! I think they should have a Combination of BOTH for a Better Fine Dining Experience !

The Countryard Recipe

Lot 78 Jalan Tabuan 93100 Kuching

The Following Day....

I don't have ENOUGH of Big Prawns!! So I asked my Dad ~Where to Get Big Prawns?We finally found it at Satok Market Rm28/kg ~ CHEAP & FRESH !!
