We went for dinner the other day at Big Potato, it’s a kopitiam located at Ang Cheng Ho. Quite easy to locate, it’s the same row as a shop selling clothing. My parents always takeaway from there and this was the first time we dined there.

I don’t remember the prices though… Rest assure they are reasonably priced.

Left: Beef beehoon. Not sure of the taste, didn’t taste it but we usually bought the beef noodle here.

Right: Fish porridge. Not sure of the taste too.

Left: Chicken porridge. Also not sure of the taste ;p

Right: Mixed pork parts porridge (don’t quite remember the exactly name). I was expecting parts of pork in the porridge but instead it came with something looked like minced meat. If not mistaken, they minced everything together instead of serving them pieces by pieces. Taste wise? Nothing to rave about.

Went hunting for dinner at Permier 101 few days ago. It felt like just happened yesterday but we went there on Monday. See how time flies? It’s the end of the week already!

Anyway, walked around the place and we ended up at Zhong Yuan Kitchen. We utilized the 10% discount coupon in My Privilege Book.

Left: Braised peanuts that were served to us. We thought there’s a charge for it but no charge at all. Cool! First time came across Chinese restaurant that didn’t charge for the peanuts. Furthermore, the portion was quite big compare to other places too.

Right: The rice was served in a mini rice barrel. Usually other restaurants will just give you a bowl of rice but this was different. We ordered rice for 4 persons but WOW! The portion was big, each of us got to eat 2 bowls of rice from the mini barrel. In other words, 8 bowls of rice for only RM4(RM1/person). Mind you, the rice wasn’t simply any cheap rice.

Just for the two things I mentioned, I’m giving them 2 thumbs up already!

Left: Braised Meatball Shanghai Style (RM12 – small), not our kind of taste, maybe it’s a dish that we are not familiar with. However, is not that bad.

Right: Sizzling Ostrich Fillet with Black Pepper Sauce (RM16 – small), nice! I love it.

Left: Fresh Jellyfish with Spicy Homemade Sauce (RM12), pretty spicy but not bad.

Right: Stir-fried with Dry Mushroom and Fresh Mushroom (RM12 – small), this dish wasn’t bad too. Very crunchy vegetables, not overcooked.

Overall the meal was good. We were fully stuffed. Didn’t expect the small portion was beyond our expectation. Bigger than we had expected.

However, they didn’t have cheaper soups. The cheapest soup was RM15! WAH!

Zhong Yuan Kitchen is located at the same row as bing! Premire 101 and the shop selling Korean products.

After our workout session, we went to Chicking Eating House for lunch. Chicking Eating House is located at the same row as Madam Tang’s at Petanak. Chicking is originated from Singapore as they have many branches in Singapore.

Left: Their business is always so good, always packed during lunch hour.
Right: Thai Style Tofu(RM3), Japanese tofu topped with sweet, sour and spicy toppings.

Left: Salad Chicken Rice(RM4.50)
Right: Steamed Chicken Rice Set(RM4), you can also opt for roasted chicken. I think the set was pretty affordable.

The chicken rice set came with a plate of rice(rice wasn’t so bad) and bowl of soup(so-so only).

Overall, the food was fine and the prices were reasonable.

We went to Old Time Coffee House for lunch last Saturday.

It’s located at the ex-Everrise office at Petanak. Very easy to locate actually. It’s somewhere near the small roundabout at Petanak. The only open till 7pm if I’m not mistaken.

Left: Nasi Lemak Special(RM6.90). Not so bad but I still prefer those Malay stall ones ;p

Right: Curry Chicken Mee, this comes in a set. The lunch set is RM5.30(or RM5.80, I don’t remember the price ;p) inclusive of a glass of Ice Teh O or Ice Coffee O.

Left: Lum Mee, also from the lunch set. Better eat this when it’s piping hot, when it’s cold, there’s a kind of smell. It’s edible, nothing wrong with it. It’s just the kind of smell that we didn’t like, not our taste. Quite big bowl.

Right: Curry Chicken Rice. This is also from the lunch set. The rice was the same rice as the nasi lemak. The curry was the same as the one in the mee. Nothing much to rave about. Curry was just curry.

If you notice, each of the dish with curry came with drumstick? The meat is quite tender.

I think it’s a great place for breakfast but if you are expecting something more for lunch, then you won’t get much choices.

By the way, many people mistaken this place as Old Town. It’s actually Old Time. -.-” Well… I’m one of them.

p/s: supposed to be “Coffee House” but in the picture I used “Kopitiam”, lazy to change ;p

We had out very late lunch at Bombay Masala that is located at Lorong Nanas last Saturday after the make up and photo session. Initially we wanted to go to Rumah Hijau but it wasn’t open. So we just drove around and ended up at Bombay Masala.

Bombay Masala is sprouting like mushroom in Kuching lately. You can find them at many places. Namely Padungan, RH Plaza, Petanak and more!

Let’s see what we had but I don’t have their actual names and prices because they only have one menu and the waitress was waiting for our order. Got no chance at all for me to take photo of the menu.

Left: Nasi briyani ayam madu (honey chicken). First time came across this and it looked yummy.
Right: Roti tisu with condensed milk. I prefer it without condensed milk but just sugar and syrup.

I ordered roti canai kosong (plain roti canai) and teh tarik. The roti canai wasn’t too bad and the teh tarik wasn’t too sweet. In fact, for those with sweet tooth, it’s not sweet at all for them but for me it was just nice. I had very very very sweet teh tarik in Penang last time.

Left: Cheese naan, first time having naan, so this is how it tasted. Tasteless but with the cheese, it’s not so bad.
Right: Plain naan with a type of curry. I don’t remember what was it.

Left: Fried mee Maggie.
Right: Fried chicken.

That’s all for now. I’m out of food post for now ;p

Forgot to mention, this place is halal.
