Hog & Wild can be found in VivaCity’s Everrise or Cold Storage at Green Heights. If you like to have good and affordable pork dishes, you can try this place out. Portion is huge and price is very reasonable. I’ve been getting my fix for pork quite often here hehehe…

The House Salad is surprisingly huge! Looks like a bouquet. So cute! It’s filling, only RM9.90. You can just have this and you’ll be full! Sliced ham, tomatoes, cucumber, mix green salad leaves tossed with Vincotto Vinegar and olive oil.

Left: Gourmet BBQ Ribs (RM29.90) served with jacket potato and boiled vegetables. Looks small but it’s not! Better to share for average and small eaters.

Right: Artisan Gourmet Sausage Platter (RM48.90), consists of 4 types of Artisan Fresh Sausages served with roasted potato, sauerkraut, and pomodoro sauce. Really have to share this. 2 average eaters for this is still a bit too much. 3 pax sharing this dish with another salad dish would be just nice. Yummy sausages! Burp… Love the one with black pepper, don’t like the one with so much garlic.

Also bought pork crackles hehehe… Oh yum yum yum! So addictive. This brand is from South Australia but I’ve never tried it back then. Only have the chance now. Also, I only discovered pork crackles when I was in the UK ;p

A nice place to go for pork and wine pairing. Great food, great price. I’ve been going there at least once a month. So far only been to the one at VivaCity, no chance to visit the one at Cold Storage yet.

Tease by Jase’s Tea Room (AT110 Block A, Icom Square, Jalan Pending, 93450 Kuching) is one of the food outlets located at iCom Square. They used to locate at Premier 101. This new outlet’s interior design is totally different from the previous outlet. So much more spacious and bright.

They specialized in in loose leaf teas, coffee and light meals. You can find burgers, pizzas, pies, sandwiches, and cakes available all day. Opening hour between 11am-11pm.

Left: Salted Eggyolk Sauce with Fried Chicken Thigh Burger + Potato Wedges (RM16). Don’t underestimate this, looks small but packed with goodies! Not easy to finish on your own, best to share if you’re not a big eater. Very sinfully yummy.

Right: One of the cakes available, Teh C Peng Mousse Cake. It’s an acquired taste. The sweetness is pretty mild.

Overall, the environment is decent, great place to hang out and food tasted great. Drinks are priced reasonably. I’ve been coming here on and off with friends because the place is spacious enough and even if there’s a lot of people, it’s still comfortable.

Another Japanese restaurant in VivaCity, Mittsu-Hoiru.

Normally you’ll see conveyor belt with plates of sushi. Here, Sushi Boat System is used to move the sushi around. It’s a bit challenging to pick up the sushi from the boat. I guess it’s because of the tray they used.

I ordered Cha Shoba(RM11.50), green tea chill soba noodle and took a sushi from the boat. I have no idea what fish meat was that hehe… The soba noodle wasn’t filling, too little for me, so I just took one sushi from the boat that fancied me and didn’t take note of the price 😛 Overall, all the food I had wasn’t bad. Just one problem, the rice of the sushi crumbled… Duh…

These were ordered by my dining companions:

Left: Kaisen Nitsuke Don (RM14.50), mixed seafood rice.
Right: Salmon Don (RM16.50), grilled salmon fish rice.
The rice dish came with a bowl of miso soup.

There’s mixed review about this place by others. For me, it looked and tasted authentic. Prices are reasonable. However, it didn’t give me the urge of wanting to go back. I’ll just rate it as above average.

Want some Sundanese cuisine? You can get it from Bumbu Cabe at iCom Square (Ground Floor, Parcel B128 & B129, Block B, Icom Square, Jalan Pending, 93450 Kuching) or Cityone. The place is always packed! Some said the food are expensive, some said it’s reasonable. For me, I would agree with the latter. A reminder though, the food is consider spicy to quite a lot of people.

Left: The sambal set that will be given to you once you’re seated.

Right: Rice served in stainless steel pot. We ordered white rice. There’s also other type of rice to order.

After you’re seated, go to the area where food are displayed. Tell the staff your table number and order the food there. What you see here is the amount of food for one portion. For each, we only ordered one portion. The price ranges around RM6/portion. They have a wide variety of vegetables to meat for you to choose.

We had potato strips, chicken, and eggplant with sambal. All were delicious. We were stuffed! Don’t underestimate the portion, it looked small but took the 3 of us (average eaters) quite a fair bit of effort to finish them all.

All these including four drinks for three pax was less than RM50.

One more thing, I recently found out that the price at CityOne branch is higher even though they are serving the same thing.

So… I was invited to Nando’s soft opening but I couldn’t make it, didn’t get the chance to try all those food there. Oh well… Will just have to spend my own money to eat there hahaha… This happened 2 months back! Really lag in updating.

Yes! Nando’s is finally here in Kuching! Lots of people rejoiced! Located in VivaCity. Let’s see… I’ve tried Nando’s in Australia, Singapore, UK, and Malaysia. They are slightly different in the way they prepare their chicken and the type of chicken they used. However, taste is still the same.

I’m glad that Nando’s in Kuching does maintain the quality but we’ll see how long it will last with the supposed quality.
