I’m sure many of you know that sarawakian.net is one of my blogs. It’s all about food. Frankly, I don’t remember when we started it, somewhere in 2007 I guess. Sarawakian.net is a place for us to keep track of eateries that we had dined in before and also to share some promotions that we come across from various sources.

Along the way, we managed to get some eateries to invite us for food tasting sessions also advertisers to support the operation and maintenance of sarawakian.net. It has gain popularity and visitors are increasing constantly over the years which is a good news for us.

We don’t really do review in there unless requested. We only show you some of the food that are available at the eateries.

Anyway, my main aim today is to invite you to join us in Facebook.

For those that had joined, thanks for joining and do invite your friends to join as we are planning something for our supporters in Facebook. Hopefully the plan will go well and can be executed soon.

Courtyard, quite a new eatery, opened somewhere last year end if I’m not mistaken. Not many people know about this place. Always wanted to go there since last year but no chance at all. Finally got the chance now.

Was supposed to have a bigger gathering there for ex-college mates but who knows at the end, ended up with only 4 of us as usual. Anyway, this place is located at Sarakraf Pavillion a.k.a Sarawak Arts & Crafts Heritage Centre. Parking was limited but now they have a space to accommodate more cars.

The place isn’t very big but not too small also. You can choose to sit indoor or outdoor. Prefer indoor as there’s air-con.

L-R: Ice Lemon Tea(RM2.50); Ice Blended Chocolate with Cream(RM7); I need help in this!! What kind of coffee already? Hahaha…; Vienna Hot Coffee(RM5).

The coffee are freshly brew, you will have to wait a bit longer for it but definitely worth the wait.

This place served Chinese-style food.

Left: Stewed Chicken with Sea Salt(RM12), this is a type of cold dish, something I don’t think you can get in many places. Taste wise? Just cold chicken meat to me but not the gross type, it’s something different, edible and definitely a must-try.

Right: Seasoned Egg-plant in steel-pot(RM8) but it’s served in clay pot. Not bad for this also. I don’t know how to explain how it tastes but it’s good. I like it.

Left: Lamb Chop Zhe Jiang Style (RM18), highly recommended from me. Yummy… The meat is so tender and don’t worry about having problem eating it with chopsticks.

Right: Plain rice, don’t remember the price. Just plain rice, what do you expect? ;p

Here’s the map so that you know how to go.

That night, Lee made a cake for 8 people but only 4 of us went. This cake is highly recommended from us, serious! Mousse Chocolate Cake, it’s so light and not too sweet and so much better than what you get from most bakeries.

I don’t know how much he’s selling though. One thing for sure, it’s GOOD! Those who are health conscious will think it’s good as sugar is reduced in this cake. If you are interested in ordering this cake, let me know ok? I’m sure he is happy to receive your order.

So… What we do with the rest of the cake? We split the cake into 3 and then I gave my portion to the management of Courtyard! 😛 Hehehe… Happened that an ex-schoolmate of mine was there so I gave it to her to try.

Place there is quite limited for the indoor section, you might want to make a reservation:

I thought there won’t be any food related post for the time being but it seems like here it is again.

First stop was Hanii’s Bistro, thought of going to McD coz I’m craving for the fries and apple pie but no parking so ended up here since I heard some good feedback from people about this place.

No food in this though as we didn’t order any food but just simple drink that you can get anywhere else in town. Hmm… Maybe find one day to dine here, anyone wanna go with me? The food price seems reasonable and there are tonnes of choices but drinks are pretty limited. This place has many Malay/Muslim patrons, that’s what I noticed and it’s operated by the Malay/Muslim too if not mistaken.

Don’t ask me if it’s halal because I forgot to check it out but judging from the crowd, it might be.

Forgot to mention, this place is near Sarawak Plaza, located at the same place as Foochow Association at Jalan Chan Chin Ann.

Next stop, we went to tHe Spring because couldn’t think of where else to go. Ordered some items on the promotion menu. The stall is operated by All Joy. Got lots of interesting drinks and ice desserts. Here’s what we ordered:

Left: Ice cream cendol(RM3.30), this is not the exact name if not mistaken. Something different and if you can’t stand something too sweet, I wouldn’t recommend you to have this as the red bean is sweet enough couple with the ice cream, it’s even sweeter.

Right: Macha with cincau(RM2.80, original price is RM3+). Not bad, I quite like it.

So that’s all for now.

Food post again! I think this will be the last one for the time being.

Just had dinner just now at this place. I’m not sure how to tell you this place is, hmmm… It’s behind KY Corner(I think this is the coffee shop name, I only know the name in front is KY) at Sekama. Behind it, there’s a row of very small shops. That’s the place. We had it at the second shop. If not mistaken, they only open at night.

Left: The back section of the shop. This was where we sat.
Right: Kueh tiaw soup.

Mixed fishball and tauhu soup with tang hoon.

I’m not sure how much for each but total was RM10.20. I know you will say expensive but the mixed fishball and tauhu soup with tang hoon got more things in there and cheaper than the one you get at other place such as Pure Fish Ball Cafe.

This is the first time I dine here, usually we buy them home to eat.

Went to Travillion Sin Chiew Chicken Rice again for lunch before I head over to class on Sunday. If you are wondering where it’s located, it’s located at Ang Cheng Ho, opposite Goodrich and behind Kuching Park Hotel.

Left: Kolo Bee Hoon (RM2.70)

Right: Fried Bee Hoon (RM3.50)

Left: Fried noodle (RM3.50), nothing much to rave about this, it’s almost the same as my mom’s cooking.

Right: Tomato Noodle (RM3.50). OH MY! It’s HUGE! If you’re a small eater, you can share this with another person. The colour of the tomato gravy was really red and was quite sweet.

I hope I got all the prices correct as I was using my phone to take photos and the prices aren’t clear in the photo.
