P Cafe

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on P Cafe

P Cafe (Jalan Wan Alwi, 93350 Kuching, Sarawak) located just at the other shop lot of Choice World at Jalan Wan Alwi. Never bother to try out until last week. Couldn’t decide where to eat and ended up here after did a bit of grocery shopping.


Simple interior design and clean. I would put it as high tech version of kopitiam. They served all kinds of local cuisines ranging from kaya toast to Sarawak laksa.


Left: Impressive… Just do your ordering here. That’s why I said it’s high tech version of kopitiam aka coffeeshop.

Right: Lui cha (RM5), portion was rather small. Taste, it’s not what I like. Tasted better ones. However, the cha aka the bowl of green soup, wasn’t bitter at all which some people will find it easier to eat. I prefer it to be bitter. Basically, you have to mix the tea and the bowl of ingredients consist of rice and finely chopped vegetables and peanuts before you start eating.

I started to like lui cha since I go back from Adelaide. I never really tried it before until I went to lunch with my ex-colleagues at a coffee shop in Pending Height. However, this one from here is rather disappointing for me. I expect bigger portion and more flavourful.

Lei cha (Chinese: 擂茶; pinyin: léi chá; literally “pounded tea”) or ground tea is a traditional Hakka tea-based beverage or gruel. Lei cha is very traditional among Hakkas in Mainland China, especially Southern China. It is also popular in Taiwan, Malaysia, and any locales with a substantial Hakka diaspora population. The custom began in the Three Kingdoms period.

It is not the same as Chinese tea because there are always other ingredients. Pounded tea consists of a mix of tea leaves and herbs that are ground or pounded together with various roasted nuts, seeds, grains, and flavorings.

At least I finally got to eat it after 6 months! The last time I had was on my birthday and it was also my last day of work with my ex-colleague at Ang Cheng Ho. Also, great for detox since I’ve been eating rather “wholesomely” ever since working in my current workplace.


My parents ordered mee pok and kampua, both were RM3.50 if not mistaken. They didn’t say anything about it, guess it’s just so-so and got nothing to rave about. I didn’t try them too, I’m not a fan of both. Price wise, it’s reasonable I guess.

I really like the environment but I don’t think I will come back.

Porkies

Pokies (Ground Floor, PL 26, Lot 11388, Tabuan Heights Commercial Centre, Jalan Song, 93350 Kuching)… No stranger to many people in Kuching. I’ve been hearing my friends talking about it since I was in Adelaide. After I came back, I finally visited the place few months later. First time with friends, the second time with my parents.


Left: You can find beers from many countries. I had tried about half of them in the menu but not in Kuching hahaha… It’s located behind One Jaya at Jalan Song. Very easy to spot.

Right: Carrot milk.


Left: Fish & chips, no idea of the price. Went there last year, long time ago ;p I’m surprised that it’s served with paper, you normally don’t get it this way in Kuching. How it tasted? It’s just your average fish & chips, don’t expect much from such dish. It’s pretty big though, can share with another person.

Right: Porkies Mixed Grill (RM29), quite huge in portion too. However, the taste was just all right. There’s spare ribs, lamb cutlets, and chicken. I heard they are famous for their spare ribs. It didn’t wow me though.

Nevertheless, it’s a not a bad place to hang out and food portion is reasonable with the price you’re paying.

Restoran He Ping

Posted on By sweet surrender 6 Comments on Restoran He Ping

Just realized that today is the last day of February. Another long-time-ago post ;p It was last September trip.

Before heading back to the airport to go back to Kuching, we went to Broga for the famous grilled bamboo fish at Restoran He Ping (Lot4903a, Jalan Tanah Pinggir, 71750, Broga, N. Sembilan). We went there the day before but it was closed but lucky that we met the owner and asked him about the opening hour so that we can go back to eat the next day before heading back home.

I don’t have any idea of all the food pricing, it’s too long ago. However, it was reasonably priced. I wasn’t the one paying too. Anyway, the fish reminded me of ayam pansuh (chicken cooked in bamboo). We had to wait 45 minutes for the fish to cook hence you are required to wait if you want to eat this fish. We went there early, so not many people. You will have to wait quite long if there’s lots of diners.

Highly recommended. It’s fresh and there’s no fishy taste too. The aroma of the bamboo sure is giving the dish the special taste. I don’t know how to explain, you just have to try it for yourself.


Left: Ladies fingers with garlic.

Right: Herbal chicken.

Both the vegetable and the chicken were not cooked the normal way, they were cooked in aluminium foil on charcoal if not mistaken. No stir fried , no pots and pans. Very unique. In fact, you can opt for your fish to be cook this way too if you don’t want to wait, shorter time required.

That’s all for now. Hopefully I have something new to update soon. Goodness… So pathetic. Working full-time is really no fun… Sigh… Trying to love it. I’m feeling like as if I’ve not been sleeping for weeks -.-” Really got no mood for anything after work, just want to laze in front of the computer, watch drama series or just shut myself out from the outside world. Damn… Facing so many people everyday is a challenge for an introvert ;p Agree? Only the introverts will know how it feels.

Restoran Satay Malaysia (Nyuk Lan)

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Restoran Satay Malaysia (Nyuk Lan)

Ahem… It’s been awhile. This post was supposed to be posted last year, about 3-4 months ago but never get to post about it. Since I’m running out of things to blog, I have to dig this out. The price might have increased already. Was there way back in September 2013.

Restaurant Satay Malaysia also known as Nyuk Lan (31, Jalan Semenyih, 43000 Kajang, Selangor) is where you can find one of the best Kajang Satay in Kajang.


Left: Having satay, peanut sauce and ketupat (RM0.80 each) are must-have. The taste was good but a bit too fine, I prefer peanut sauce with some crunch in it.

Right: We ordered all 5 of the available meat namely chicken(RM0.80), duck(RM1.40), mutton(RM1.40), fish(RM1.40), and beef(RM0.90). First time I had duck and fish satay. The satay was big, more than double the size of what we get in Kuching, and meat was very tender. Sadly, you can’t find this big stick of satay in Kuching, it’s getting smaller and smaller and price has been increasing, pathetic. When I saw the satay we ordered in Restaurant Satay Malaysia, my first thought was it’s the biggest satay I’ve seen in my entire life! Where on earth can I find this big stick of satay in Kuching? Frankly, satay in Kuching mostly are quite dry and tough too even from those supposedly highly recommended satay stall/place in Kuching.

The price of Kajang Satay is higher than what we have in Kuching for sure but the quality is more important for me. If it’s good, I don’t mind paying more. However, based on the size, it’s still considered very reasonable.

Aside from satay, there’s a stall selling otak-otak. Lots of people buying it too. I don’t remember how much though. However, it’s not that expensive.

I think this is my second time eating otak-otak. Compare to the one I had before, this one was pretty decent.

I heard the place is always packed! Not easy to get a place to sit, you’ll have to wait for a bit.

Anywhere else in Kajang that you can recommend for good satay? Would love to try it out when I have the chance to go there again.

East Meets West Weekend Hi-Tea Buffet at Hotel Grand Continental

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on East Meets West Weekend Hi-Tea Buffet at Hotel Grand Continental

Was invited to Hotel Grand Continental for Hi-Tea last weekend. They are introducing East Meets West Weekend Hi-Tea Buffet starting now until the end of the year. You’ll get 4 different themes in a month. Please bear in mind that it’s only on Sunday.

Week 1: Thai Cuisine & Hearty American
Week 2: Asian Spices & Continental Favourites
Week 3: The Oriental & Italian Affair
Week 4: Kuching Street & Penang Hawker Fare

Doesn’t it sound yummy? I tasted some of the dishes and it was beyond my expectations, overall it was pretty good. I said this not because I was invited for it but it did really surprise me. What’s more, the price is very reasonable. I’m gonna share some of the food that I had tried which can be found in the buffet.


Left: The Mini Pizzas are just too cute! Obviously it’s a type of Italian food, so it’s available in Week 3.

Right: I figure this is likely to be one of the combinations you can find in the Hot & Cold Combinations in Week 3. I can’t remember the name hehehe… A dish that consists of crab stick. You’ll normally get it in Chinese banquet as one of the appetizers.


Left: Pan fried Dory fish with lemon butter, yum! I like this! This is available in Week 2. Light and flavourful.

Right: Deep fried bun (I think this is what it’s called). The filling is red bean paste. It’s oily on the outside but otherwise in the inside. The paste is not too sweet too. It’s more like an oriental thing to me but can’t find it in the menu they gave us. Never mind… You can always try your luck. I’m sure you won’t go to the buffet just for one food, it doesn’t make sense hahaha…


Left: Ok… Kick me! I’m not sure what’s this ;p it’s either Crispy Spring Rolls (Week 3) or Fried Springrolls (Week 4). Whatever it is, it’s not my favourite as I don’t like my spring roll this way.

Right: Opppsss… This is… Another guess… Fried noodle? Hahaha… Can’t find it in the menu given. Nevertheless, it was not bad.


Left: This is obviously fried rice. They have two types, this should be Chinese Fried Rice (Week 3) while the other one is Vegetarian Fried Rice which can be found in Week 1. The fried rice tasted quite nice, I thought it was pineapple fried rice at first, I guess they used similar spices for it.

Right: Very colourful and I’m a fan of capsicums! Love this dish! It’s called Italian Rainbow Salad with Homemade Vinaigrette. A very light dish.

Ok… Guess what? Was too full eating all the above and some others which were not in post as they’re not meant to be in the menu. Hence, I didn’t really eat much of the desserts.



I tried the New York Cheese Cake (Week 1) and it did pass my standard, not too bad even though I had tried better ones. That’s the only dessert I had! Can you believe that?!?! Goodness! Was too full! How I wish I can eat more. Maybe few years back, can no longer do that now. No more stamina *LOL*

I do recommend you to try it out.

Here’s the details:

  • Every Sunday
  • 12.30pm – 4pm
  • RM38+ per adult
  • RM19+ per child (5-12 years old)
  • If you go in 6 (only applicable to adults), then one person gets to eat free.

If you have inquiries or reservations about this buffet, please contact Hotel Grand Continental Kuching (Jalan Ban Hock, 93100 Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia) at 082-230399.
