Thought it’s a newly open cafe, so we went there on Tuesday for lunch. Secret Garden is actually Room205, still the same management but due to something, they had to change their name and renovate the whole shop. Now, it looks brighter, clean and cheerful compare to the previous black and dark interior. What had happened? Well… I’m not going to tell you, it’s up to you to find out…

I was so worry that they would tell me to not take photo in there as previously when it was Room205, I was stopped from taking photos in there. Lucky not this time. However, the waiter’s face looked as if very “tulan”, when we went in, he gave a not-this-people-again look.

Anyway, back to the food. We ordered a pot of hot jasmine tea(RM4.50). It’s just tea from teabag, nothing to rave about.

Left: Sirloin steak with mushroom sauce(RM19.90), it’s quite hard to eat using this kind of hotplate. First time I came across this kind way of serving and small size of steak but I like the mashed potato and when it’s still sizzling when it’s served. I’m craving for more steak!!! Whenver I have steak, if I came across one that I don’t really fancy, I would crave for better one to satisfied my palette. 😛

Right: Tom Yam Fried Rice(RM6), no comment about this as I didn’t taste it.

The bill was RM30.40 but was given 10% discount as they said they are having promotion right now.

By the way, the menu is really extensive! Gosh! Scary… So many choices!!! However… Many spelling mistakes in there hahaha…

Continue…

We reached Jalan Song and there were so many cars and people… Traffic jam!! So decided at the last second that we changed to RH Plaza. We said we’re going to meet at Green Gallery and find a place to eat. When finally found a parking space in front of Pai Jia Le(not sure about the English name), I stepped out of the car and smelt something familiar, then I saw the tables…. It’s Chong Qing Steamboat!! WAH!!! So happy! So we decided to have steamboat! 😛 Hehehe… Second round dinner.

Left: So… Now left the 5 of us, we ordered a bit of food for it as previously we had our dinner already hehehe… Finally!!! So happy! Yummy!!! We ordered the least spicy base.
Right: Needle mushroom.

Left: Two types of fishball. We ordered each half-half hehehe…
Right: Fu zhu, again.. :p Don’t know what it’s called in English, I can’t remember…

Left: Pork.
Right: Xiao bai chai 😛 Don’t know what it’s called in English.

Left: Dry mushroom.
Right: Chicken meat.

Hehehe… There were 5 of us but someone ate half way and said he needed to pick up his friend and left the 4 of us. Goodness gracious… food for 5 and only the 4 of us finished them up! So full! What a night… Driving around Kuching to find food hahaha… From one end to another end…

By the way, a reminder for those that don’t know how to read Chinese, the menu is fully in Chinese.

We wanted to go to Garden Steamboat last Saturday night but they were closed for Raya. So we changed to Tabuan Laru Chong Qing steamboat but guess what!?!?! It’s no longer operating… So sad… So we just simply find a place there to eat. Ended up at Mother’s Recipe.

It’s nyonya cuisine.

Soya bean(RM1.80), ice lemon tea(RM1.80) and barley(RM1.80). Expensive -.-“

Left: Plain rice(can’t remember the price)
Right: Fresh Stir-Fried Kai Lan(RM6), not bad…

Left: Pork Leg With Mushroom(RM6), not so bad.
Middle: Chicken Sweet Corn Soup(RM6), tastless.
Right: Thick Nyonya Chicken Curry(RM6), nice 🙂 How pathetic… On 1st day of Raya, everyone got to eat free curries and we had to pay to eat and so little summore hahaha…

When they brought the food out, we were so surprised, the portions were so small for the 6 of us *LOL* Quite expensive. For the 6 of us, the total amount was RM39!!! With this amount we can eat till we’re full at a coffeeshop or restaurant for the 6 of us! We were only half full. We decided to go to Jalan Song for second round. To be continued… 😛
