This happened more than a month ago ;p Decided to try out Ho Chiak Bak Kut Teh, located just opposite Chung Hua Primary School No.3.

They claimed that this bak kut teh is original recipe from Klang. Hmm… No idea, I had bak kut teh at Klang before but the taste wasn’t the same. I know… I know… Every bak kut shop has their own recipe, so I am no judge to say it’s original or otherwise, it’s personal preference.

The rice wasn’t plain rice. It’s garlic rice(RM1).

Left: Bak kut teh (RM6).
Right: Bak kut teh (RM6), the dry type.

Our verdict? Hmm… It’s just bak kut teh. Nothing much to rave about, it’s edible hahaha…

Went to have lunch at Food Bazaar, tHe Spring on Monday with my sis. Actually was asked to go over and happened that we need to buy some stuffs there and I have something to discuss so I agreed to it.

The newly set up juice bar by The Jooz Artists! Want something healthy? Why don’t try this out. We tried 3 types of juices but you only see 2 here coz I forgot to take the photo of another drink.

The one on the left is dragon fruit mix with another 2 fruits (I only remember lime was added hehehe…). It’s sourish and refreshing enough however it took me a bit of time to get used to the taste.

The one on the right is mango juice mix with 1 type of fruit. The mango is from Ming Kiong Garden, the famous mango garden in Kuching. The mango is indeed good.

The other one we had (not in the picture) was lychee+apple. Sweet and sour, quite refreshing too.

The fruit juice starts at RM3 and you can mix various fruits for your juice. Extra charge applies.

Only 2 of us yet we had 3 cups of ice blended fruit juice. WAH! You can imagine that hahaha… I visited almost every floor of the toilet at tHe Spring *LOL* Had lots of vitamin C that day, so healthy!

The nyonya stall is relocated to the other corner. We had nyonya food that day. Craving for home cook food, you can have your fix here. The food changes everyday, so do not expect to get what you see here when you are there.

You only need to add RM1(the price should be still the same as what I had last time hehehe… Forgot to ask) for the rice and this is not your normal plain white rice(obviously ;p). This rice is not cheap in the market.

Left: Kacangma, I was told there’s no water added but pure wine. It’s my first time having pure wine kacangma, not bad, it didn’t make me drunk *LOL*

Right: Vegetable curry, I quite like this. The green pieces are mani chai, the yellowish pieces are pumpkin and the orange coloured pieces are sweet potato(if I’m not mistaken ;p or is it carrot?)

Left: Lamb rendang, not bad.

Right: Iban brinjal aka la kia kio fish. I’m not really into fish cook in soup but I love the brinjal a lot!

Left: Kangkong with garlic. We always cook our kangkong this way at home.

Right: One of the Nyonya kuehs available there. This is steamed tapioca with coconut.

Left: If I’m not mistaken, this is sago kueh.

Right: Onde-onde aka ondeh-ondeh.

The kuehs are sweet but the sweetness is not the sugary of sweetness. I’m not really into sweet things but the sweetness here is acceptable to me. If I’m not mistaken, they’re selling at 80 sen per piece.

CRAP! I just had my dinner and now I’m hungry again -.-“

First of all, this is 100% non-halal post.

Got invited by CW to join him, Nate and Annie for lunch at Mr. Ho’s Fine Foods yesterday. Of course I accepted it immediately. I knew Nate and Annie from Foodbuzz but never interact with them, only added them in my list ;p I knew they’re from the US but I didn’t expect them to come here to stay for 2 years.

It’s my first time meeting CW also, was supposed to be him few months back for the food tasting at The Banquet but he couldn’t make it.

I was late, I kept thinking the lunch was at 12.30pm, it should be 12.15pm. It was a porky lunch yesterday. Never in my life savour so much pork in one seating with various cooking methods. *GULP* Artery clogging! Hahaha…

I don’t have much details on the food and price though. I’ll just copy whatever Nate has in his Facebook ;p Just show you what we had:

Left: Walnut, ham and parmesan salad. Very appetizing. I like it.

Right: Mussels in cream sauce, oh la la… I love this!

Pork satay, the colour looks like the usual chicken satay we get at the hawker stalls hahaha… The meat is very tender and juicy. Quite nice.

Left: Four Seasons plate consisted of squid & prawn, roast pork, fried chicken, pork meatballs. Nothing much to rave about the thai style squid & prawn. Roast pork was sinfully tasty! I choked on the fat -.-” I didn’t expect the fat to melt in my mouth hahaha… The fried chicken was too salty for my liking. The pork meatballs were fine but I didn’t get to try the one with cheese in there.

Right: Fried rice, there’s bacon in there.

Left: CW’s favourite, Asian Pesto Pasta. I hate cilantro hahaha… However, it’s surprisingly yummy to have it in this pasta.

Right: Sausage platter, there’s two kind of sausages if not mistaken. Tasted not bad.

Our group photo. Pardon my hair ;p Hahaha… No time to dry it coz I was running late hehehe…

Annie, Me, CW, and Nate.

Nice to meet all of you and thanks CW for the lunch. We’ll arrange another session and I’ll bring some other local food bloggers and foodbuzzers along 😉
