I’m sure most of you know that Singapore Chicken Rice around Kuching are having major facelift. Went to Singapore Chicken Rice @ Jalan Song Thian Cheok for dinner last Saturday. I wasn’t in the mood to order anything fancy as I was having headache that day. Actually I’m feeling sick these few days due to the weather and the stupid haze.

We ordered chicken rice for 4. As usual, you are served each diner with a plate of rice, a bowl of soup and the chili you can scoop it from the container on the table into the dish.

My parents opted for roasted chicken then ordered kailan cooked with oyster sauce(very salty).

My bro ordered Wheatgrass C(RM1.90), it was so sweet! As if the sugar was free. Not nice to drink also. Yuck…

Hehehe… It’s been a while no chocolate update 😛 Now let me introduce Zesty Praline Squares to you. When you see the word “zesty”, the first thing comes to you must be something related to orange, lime or lemon. It’s not all sweet, you can feel the zest in there.

The descriptions on the pack is enough to tell you what is it, “nibbly praline with tiny pieces of almond nougetine and zesty orange”.

Do I need to say more? Hehehe… I ate so slowly until the whole thing melted on my fingers. By the way, it’s another guest recipe from Hotel Chocolat.

Bearista: I’m coming! This afternoon Irene brought me to Starbucks at KIA. Finally I came out from my box for so many years.

Irene: Hehehe… This bear is given to me by Ben as my birthday present, not the Ben here 😛 It’s the Ben from KL who is in Melbourne now. Was given to me about hmm… 5 or 6 years ago? He worked part time at Starbucks. He gave me this because his colleague commented that the bear looked like him *LOL* He’s one of my online friends.

Starbucks at KIA is situated at the departure hall which is upstair. Just next to KFC.

Some of the things inside Starbucks. Friendly staff. I was told that they are currently training the local lads and those serving you now are support team from KL and KK. The wifi is not ready yet because of the delay by the contractor.

Left: The serviette.
Right: Bearista wants some too!
Java Chip(venti means large), RM15.50. It’s ice blended coffee with chocolate chips and whipped cream(optional). It’s really really really thick and sweet! -.-“
“Signature” Hot Chocolate(tall means small), RM9.50. Very rich milk and bittersweet chocolate, steamed with milk. It’s really really nice! I love it! Best to drink it when it’s hot. When it’s cold, it’s really very sweet hahaha… No kidding, it’s really rich! Whipped cream is optional. It’s nicer with whipped cream.

See Bearista in action!

Hmm…
I’m going to drink it now… But… But… My hand is too small 🙁 I want to sip it but I’ll have chocolate and whipped cream all over me 🙁

Sigh… Can’t drink, I’ll just sit and let Irene finish her drink. Aiks… I’m naked! I didn’t wear underwear except my apron! I saw my friends in the basket near the counter, they were wearing white t-shirt and apron! I need to wear something too!!

You will surely get quality coffee at Starbucks. I saw how they trained the staff. WOW! Really strict. They even have a scale to weigh the coffee, it must be of certain weigh, too heavy or too light will make or break the coffee. Very strict quality control indeed. Not sure Coffeebean is like this or not hahaha… I never step there yet 😛

By the way, there will be tax charged.

Very nice food right?

My parents and my brother went out for dinner last night and they decided to go to somewhere in Kuching for dinner. I’m not going to tell you the exact shop directly. I had already mentioned it just now. The name is hidden in this post itself with not the exact spelling. If you know this shop, you will know.

The food on the left is the shop’s specialty. The one in the middle is ginger beef. The one on the right is don’t-know-what rice. I have no idea what they are. It doesn’t matter since I’m not going to talk much about the food.

The don’t-know-what rice had two veggies missing. It’s all right with that but the rice was bad. From the outside it looked OK but the inside were those rice at the bottom of the pot. You know, those hard hard part at the bottom of the pot? You are not supposed to serve your customer rice like this!

Then… You ever heard of this:
What is the worst thing when you eat an apple with a worm?

The answer is:
By the time you see the worm, the worm is only half!

So… What is the worst thing when you have a plate of noodle when it’s almost finish?

OMG!!!!

My parents and my brother had no idea what was that! It seemed like a fly, it seemed like a type of insect… *SHRUG* The wings and some parts of the body were GONE!!! They called the boss over and the boss apologized and said that there’s no need to pay for the food. However, my dad is not such unreasonable and inconsiderate person, he insisted on paying for the drinks and didn’t want to leave until they collect the money for the drinks. After they collected the drinks money then my parents and my brother left.

You see, actually my dad told me not to make a big fuss over it. Basically he didn’t want me to put it up on the Internet but I still put it up except not telling you exactly where it happened. To him, it’s just pure bad luck that they had encountered the insect in the food. Any place you go will more or less has this problem, it’s just pure luck. He didn’t want to make people out of business. Count that shop lucky that my parents didn’t make a big fuss at the shop that time, it was packed summore! My dad even insisted to pay for the drinks.

The photos were taken by my brother. My sis and I were attending another dinner function last night. Good thing, there isn’t food poisoning after that.

So… What do you think? What will you do if you encouter this problem? I would totally lost my appetite and feel want to vomit everything out -.-” I won’t pay for the drinks and leave. I won’t make a scene, would just tell them nicely and leave. Then come back and blog about it hahaha…

Nice or not?
