It’s the last day today! Grabbed some simple dinner or I would rather refer it as snacks from food fair before going over to Amphitheater for the Open Air Movie Carnival.

We decided to have Thai food this time. We bought fried soft shell crab, fried crab+chicken meat in crab shell and mango chicken. Overall was RM10.

The soft shell crab tasted ok not oily though it’s fried. As for fried crab+chicken meat in crab shell, it’s so tough!! It’s hard to eat too. Lastly, mango chicken was quite ok. The mango was young mango strips marinated in sweet and sour sauce with chopped onions etc. Too many spices in there, I don’t really know them.

After we’re done with it, we went to Amphitheater for the movie at around 6.30pm.

This is the end of Kuching Festival Food Fair. Till then… adios!

The last two trip of food fair. We were there to celebrate Jimmy’s birthday. Will blog about this later.

Left: Scallop sushi(2 for RM4) and octopus sushi(2 for RM4). This is from the stall called Home Made Sushi.
Right: Sambal Deep Sea Stingray(RM6). It tasted OK with the sambal however the sambal wasn’t enough .

Johore Bahru Otak-Otak, RM0.80 each.
Hmmm.. tasted weird 😛 ahahah.. usually I see otak-otak in brownish or creamy white colour and this is the first time I saw red otak-otak. It’s minced fish meat with santan and it’s barbequed. It’s my first time ate this too.

This is Pandan Chicken from "Yi Yuan"(I’m not sure about there English name). It’s a Teochew restaurant here. It’s RM3 for eight pieces.

The food fair will end on 20th August. So tomorrow is the last day.

Went to Kuching Fest after dance class for supper.

Left: "Ji Ba"… Ok… don’t think so much! It’s not that foul word "cxbai". I heard that it’s Hakka traditional food. RM2 per box. It tasted like "muaci". "Muaci" has peanut powder/red bean paste etc. as the fillings and the outer layer texture is sticky and chewy. This is the opposite, the peanut powder is coated outside. The dough is sticky and chewy. Hmm… Many said it’s nice but nothing special to me.

Right: (L-R) "Yuan Su Ji Kuai"(direct tanslation to English for each word is "Salt Crispy Chicken Nuggets") LOL… I really don’t know what it’s called in English, fried squids and sweet potato sticks.

All used the same batter and deep fried. The fried squid is RM1.50 per sticks, chicken nuggets are RM2.50 per 100gram and sweet potato sticks are RM1.60 per 100gram. We bought 100gm chicken nuggets and 3 fried squids. All together is RM7. Hmmm… pretty expensive and portion is small.

After class last night, we went to Kuching Festival food fair to hunt for some food to feed our hungry stomach. Pretty easy to find parking space since it’s weekdays and quite late already, it’s about 9.30pm. It’s not very easy to find a seating place though… have to try your luck and count ourselves lucky that we found it not long after bought our food.

We’re “conned”! Mexican Roti(Bread in Malay), each costs RM2.50 for Beef Mexican Roti. Only left 4 of them that time and they placed them two in a box. We asked how much does one cost, we were told it’s RM2.50, so since only the last four left, we bought all and expecting to be RM5. Then we bought another snacks, fried mushroom. I don’t know how to explain this kind of mushroom, it’s quite big. In Mandarin is “bao yu gu” direct translation would be “abalone mushroom” 😛 a box of it costs only RM3 with 10 of them in there. It’s deep fried and sprinkled with 5 spices powder. All together, it’s RM13. RM13?!?!?! It should be RM8 only!!! Then we realised that, the Mexican Roti is RM2.50 each not RM2.50 per box. Wow… damn expensive man!! Felt cheated. Pretty full eating these but I don’t like the Mexican Roti. Just not my taste.

Then, Pinky said she wanted to eat Takoyaki(right) and chicken chop(left). So she went to hunt for them and bought them back. I’m so full already but heheheh… I still eat them. I’m not sure how much were they. The chicken not so bad 🙂 There are two types, spicy and non-spicy. The one here is spicy. The Takoyaki were small and it tasted different from what I had before in S’pore. It was bigger and more flavour back then. Ah well… cannot compare of course. I had never had any “real” Tokoyaki so I have not much comment on it. “Real” as in straight from Japan 😛

So… that’s all for the night. Our supper at the food fair. 🙂
