Kuching & I

Posted on By sweet surrender 6 Comments on Kuching & I

I’m sorry for the ads lately. Really need the money 😛 Hehehe… They are too good to resist but I did come out with quality posts right? *looking innocently at you* Please don’t leave me…

😛 Actually this newspapers interview was published last Saturday but I’m so lazy to post it up as I was lazy to scan the newspapers until a friend sent the softcopy to me hehehe… Might as well post it up here. First page summore! My mom exclaimed, “What are you doing in the front page of the newspapers!?!?!” *LOL* As she doesn’t know how to read Chinese.

Goshh… I should have give him my own photo hahaha…

If you are wondering what is the content is all about it’s about my opinion about Kuching and Kuching Festival. Click on the picture to view the full article.

For those that have no idea how to read, I’ll give you a summarised translation of it. At least I can translate better than those that do translation for our subtitles in TV and movies hahaha…

I’m happy to live in Kuching. Kuching is a nicer place to stay compare to West Malaysia. Kuching is small and everyone practically knows each other.

However, I don’t like the public transport here. It’s very hard to travel without our own transport. I heard about tourists lamented about this problem too.

Next, it’s no longer safe anymore. Too many crimes happening. I don’t feel safe. Even tourists also fell victim to these crimes.

Our salary is quite low also. Prices of things are increasing. Many people are not very happy about it.

As for Kuching Festival, it’s meant to commemorate the elevation of Kuching from town to city status, there should be some exhibitions about the history of Kuching. This will let the younger generations know about the purpose of the celebration instead of only know how to have fun.

I’m glad to see that many people from all walks of life support this festival.

Khoon Chai, thanks for the interview 🙂

This is called Milk Cookie Creme, crisp chocolate cookies pieces set into a milky wonderland. This is not so sweet but it melts better in your mouth. However, I don’t really like the cookies. It tasted so odd.


Left: The back, it’s broken! 😛
Right: The chocolate without wrapper.

Two more coming… hehehe…

Nyonya Bites

Posted on By sweet surrender 25 Comments on Nyonya Bites

No idea where to have lunch yesterday so decided to go to 3rd Exchange to hunt for food and ended up Nyonya Bites. Goodnesss… The whole row will be food and more food outlets. The two rows facing each other will have many food outlets opening soon. -.-” Popwave will be opening a branch there too.

I was thinking of having some nyonya food.

The exterior and the interior.


Very disappointing. Nothing much to eat! The choice available is so little! Only fried rice, fried noodle, fried beehoon, fried kueh tiaw, fried tang hoon and fishball soup -.-” I was expecting some nyonya food but nothing except the ice desserts and some snacks. Pretty pricey, not worth it. I ordered Nyonya Style Bee Hoon(RM4.90), it’s just spicy and tasteless. We ordered Luo Han Guo(RM1.70) and Teh C Peng.

For two persons, it cost us RM12.80. EXPENSIVE! What else I can say? Not recommended at all unless you are going for some ice desserts, not sure how good they are *SHRUG*

Aluminium Kitchen Cabinet

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Aluminium Kitchen Cabinet

What do you think of aluminum kitchen cabinets? Aluminium kitchen cabinets or just for any other cabinets are great because they don’t rust or corrode. The kitchen is where you always have water around, it’s easier to clean if it’s aluminium one too.

The downside is it might make your kitchen looks like a garage or those kitchen in a restaurant. There is no homey feeling to it compare to wood kitchen cabinet. However, just play around with the colours and it makes your kitchen design looks modern and with contemporary touch.

So, what do you think? I quite like it actually.
