Ramadhan Bazaar 2007 @ Dewan Masyarakat

Posted on By sweet surrender 3 Comments on Ramadhan Bazaar 2007 @ Dewan Masyarakat

The fasting month started last week and the Ramadhan Bazaars also started at the same time. For the non-Muslims, it’s all about food and more food πŸ˜› *Salivating*

Went to the one at Dewan Masyarakat on Monday evening. It’s not big, quite small scale. I think Satok one will be so much bigger!


The stalls are divided into 3 sections, the section for BBQ, section for kuehs and section for the food such as curries, rendang, nasi lemak and so on.


Nothing to buy there… Wanted to buy some BBQ chicken wings but I don’t understand why this year they all have “red” chickens! Where’re the old school malay BBQ chicken wing??!?!? All I smelt was just smoke. Where’s the sweet aroma gone to??!?! We bought some red chicken wings to try and they were tasteless! You see the photo on the right? The colouring is scary! Imagine eating all these… *SHUDDER*

Laksa @ Sin Chong Choon Cafe

Posted on By sweet surrender 17 Comments on Laksa @ Sin Chong Choon Cafe

Last Sunday(16th September), woke up so early in the morning because we were to meet up with Sam for breakfast and then send Josh to the airport.

Before 8pm, Jimmy reached my place already and I just came out of shower! -.-” So he waited for 15 minutes. Then we went to pick up Josh at the hotel. I think he’s still sleeping that time hahha… That’s because he had a bowling session with Rose and her gang, also Ben and Naomi after dinner. After that, I heard that Ben brought Josh around Kuching to hunt for “ah gua” and only found a few, where’re the rest gone to? *LOL* He sent him back to hotel at 2am!

Reached the hotel and waited for Josh to get ready. We were supposed to meet up with Sam at Sin Chong Choon Cafe at Green Heights before 9am. While waiting, Sam called to confirm whether it’s still on or not as it seemed like it’s getting late already. I saved her number that night but I have no idea what’s wrong with my phone on Saturday and Sunday, it acted quite weird. My phone didn’t display the names of the callers but only numbers even though I had saved them to my phonebook. *SHRUG* However, it’s OK now. No more such problem anymore. Then, Naomi SMS-ed to say that she’s waiting for us as we told her that we would pick her up at around 8.30am hahaha… Next, Annna SMS-ed also and said she’s there already.

Finally, Josh came down, check-out and we headed staright to pick up Naomi and then to the airport to check-in. After that then we go back down to Sin Chong Choon Cafe at Green Heights.

I have no idea what to order for breakfast. At the end, I ordered their laksa as they said this is one of the best laksa in Kuching, this is their branch. So I ordered and see…

The left picture is the normal laksa look that you see everywhere but the right one is different. Something missing right? The green thing hahaha… Coriander leaves right? I don’t like it hehehe… If possible I would usually pick them out from my food. It’s quite small bowl, RM4. Pretty thick and I don’t think it’s that spicy, the taste was quite good but the sambal I don’t like it, it’s quite tasteless.

The guy that served us had this very sour face all the way from the begining when he sent Josh’s laksa. When mine arrived, I asked him to give me fork+spoon because I’m quite slow if I’m using chopsticks to eat hehehe… He went to get it and it took quite a long time… When he came, I thanked him, still no respond, showing his sour face all the way. Then I didn’t know that my dish of lime and sambal actually hidden from my sight behind the bowl, I told him that how come there’s only one -.-” That made his face even more sour. I even apologized to him and his face was still the same, so sour. He just left like as if the whole world owes him a million dollar.

Annna and gLaDieZz’ left earlier because Annna had to attend a class. After breakfast, all of us sent Josh to the airport, just in time to board the plane hehehe… There is no way he’s going to miss his flight again! πŸ˜›

That’s all. So tired after the bloggers’ meet…

CatsCity Clique Report – Part 2 – Topspot

Posted on By sweet surrender 23 Comments on CatsCity Clique Report – Part 2 – Topspot

YES! The drama is here! πŸ˜›

So… After Catscity Clique @ Starbucks Coffee @ KIA, we went to Topspot to meet up for dinner at around 7.30pm but most were late about half to one hour that including me :P. We were expecting less than 15 people going and later of the night, -.-” more came and all together, there were 19 of us+1 baby πŸ˜› hahaha…

Since it’s a weekend, Topspot was packed! With the rain summore, we couldn’t sit outside and therefore it’s not easy to find empty tables. So I just asked PlatinumGirl to reserve any place that could fit at least 10 people that she could find.


She finally found 1 at ABC, stall No.10. See! So many people!

Frankly, I’m not familiar with Topspot, this is only my second time there and I have no idea how to order food there and what do’s and dont’s when you’re there(Irene! You called yourself Kuchingites!?!?!? *SMACK*). I don’t eat seafood in Kuching OK!?!?! I only eat at Buntal! πŸ˜› Hence, this is how the drama happened! Good thing, I’m not the only got tricked! It just happened that I’m the one that made the final decision. So you can imagine how tulan I am!


Before that, let’s see what we ate… πŸ˜› All together there were 5 dishes from ABC and each dish we ordered two plates as we have two tables.


Left: Belacan midin, when you come to Kuching or Sarawak, this is a must-eat and many non-locals seem to like it.
Right: Mixed veggies, quite standard.


Left: Butter prawn, the wet style, I preferred the dry one but this isn’t that bad.
Right: Lemon chicken, one plate was wiped off but another plate still left a lot. Everyone was so full!


Left: “Tek ham”, bamboo… I can’t remember the English name, it’s cooked with curry but many people don’t know how to eat this and dont’ like it. So only few of us finished it up.
Right: “O Jien” aka Oyster Omelette. This type is the crispy type, I prefer this type. The wet type is like the one I had at Kuching Festival.

Hehehe… I’m sure you are asking why no drama yet, right? It happened before the lemon chicken and so on arrived.

NOW! You see these “prawns”!!! Ok… Here’s how it went…

A guy came and asked us whether want to try “Special BBQ Prawn” or not. We’re not so sure we want to order or not but this doesn’t matter. He didn’t say that what kind of prawn was it and I swear I didn’t hear he said that it’s BIG prawn! None of us heard it too, we just heard “PRAWN”. OK… We did hear the “big” and “small” but this is for the portion but they didn’t mention that the prawn is that BIG! The length is more than 15cm! When he said “prawn”, we all thought that it should be about the size of like what we had for butter prawn or slightly bigger. So I said to him to give us the small one. The small one as is small portion of the BBQ prawn.

Then, since there were another group arrived, that guy came up and asked whether we want another set or not, of course we have to order another set to be fair to those came later. So, automatically said “YES”.

Then it came! We were shocked with what they served us! We didn’t expect to see this! Then he gave Josh the bill and OH MY… We were so shocked with the total! RM156 for 2.6kg of prawns! Damn expensive OK!?!?! We couldn’t believe that this was the prawn we ordered and the guy said, it was! We said we were not told about it and only told us it’s “prawn”! &@*!%!^@%#@% He said he did mention it’s big prawn and we all(almost 10 of us) swore that none of us heard it! BIG? MY FOOT! DIU! He did say in English, “prawn” but not “big prawn”, then repeated in Hokkien, “hay” but not “dua hay”! So you see?Then… What to do? Josh had to pay for it. -.-” We had to make sure we finished it clean clean… I don’t think this is called big prawn, I think it should have a name for it! He misled us! DAMN IT! We got conned!

Then I went home, I asked around and told Ben about it also and guess what?!!?! Everyone said that it’s overpriced! Even said that those are “scammers”, “cheaters”, “liars”,”conmen”! You should not order from those that came around to ask you to order those BBQ seafood unless it’s from the same stall! Now then I know and it’s an expensive lesson to learn -.-” Poor Josh had to fork out more money… We’re trying help him save money but that stupid prawn… I feel like burning the stall down! Hahaha…

Summore, I also realised that… Whenever I have seafood at Buntal, they will tell us the price of the seafood per kilo and order based on kilo or number of people. At least we were told about the price so that we can decide how much to order but not at ABC and also that blardy scammer, cheater, liar, conman BBQ stall! Too bad I don’t know which stall it is! However… Kuching is small, I’m sure many people will know which stall I’m talking about.

Bloggers, if you know which stall, do let me know! Damn it! I’m going to make them out of business! Not that I’m capable of doing that but when more bloggers talk about it, sure they will die. Try to mess with bloggers? You are stupid! I don’t think they even know that we’re bloggers! WEI! Almost 20 of them there! Then add on with those joined us in the afternoon… You’ll see how’s powerful the Internet is!


Ok… Enough of the drama… πŸ˜› Bloggers… Take photos of food! See the guy on the right? That want to put down the prawn? DIU~


Group photo. Not complete group, we didn’t have any complete group photos as everyone seemed to be tired already and I know I didn’t want to move my butt at all, I’m so full and tired hehehe…

It was a SUCCESS! Thank you everyone! LOVE YOU ALL! MUAKS!
