John’s Pie

June 23, 2013June 24, 2013 sweet surrender No Comments

John’s Pie is located at No: 14, Ground Floor, Wisma Phoniex,, Song Thian Cheok Road, where 360 Xpress Citycenter is located. The building used to housed Up Well.

Went there to try its smoky hot beef pie (RM5.50). Not bad. I’m not a fan of meat pie but this is acceptable to me. At least it’s WAYYYYY BETTTERRR than Secret Recipes’. Just this one pie is enough to fill you up! We also tried the Portugese Egg Tart, not bad too.

It’s just a very small shop, more suitable for a quick bite during tea break or takeaway.

Gold Fever with Kate

June 8, 2013 sweet surrender 2 Comments

Was lucky to be invited to join the Kate Gold Party Experience at Magenta Restaurant last night.

Golden fever!

Kate Makeup Demo was done by Kate International Makeup artist, Mr. Mikiya Hirai. He used the stunning “Goldosh Eyes” on the model’s eyes. The gold theme was deliberate and meaningful as Kate’s distinctive persona is one of fun, party, sophistication and a touch of enigma. Sorry for the ugly photo, it’s too dark for me to take a decent photo with my camera without using flash, it was such harsh flash.

We had fun last night and I won myself a box of Kate’s products in the Q&A session. Also had a chance to take photos with Mr. Hirai.

The food we had last night. There’s appetiser and main course. No dessert though. The food was great but the beef (top right) wasn’t up to my expectation hehehe… Because I was expecting steak ;p

Aside from the food, demo, and game. There was also “Show Your Kate Style” contest by Everrise/Kate Valuable Customers who was selected from the lucky draw campaign/ The ladies were styled to present themselves in Kate style. These were the contestants and three was selected as the winner based on their performance on stage. Didn’t get to take any good photos of the winners because of the location where I was seated.

Left: The goodies I got after attending the event. WOW! HAPPY! Got the Goldish Eyes eyeshodow(RM59) and Slim Gel Pencil(RM44). You can actually find real 24k gold in the eyeshadow! There’s two sample sized products too namely Concealing Cover Powder Foundation(RM74) and Powderless Liquid(RM74). Gonna review it when I’m in the mood ;p

Right: Aother product was one of the FRESHEL multifunctional skincare range by Kanebo. Will review it when I got the chance to use it. I need to finish off whatever I’m using now to open a new product. It’s amzing with 5-in-1 functions, gonna save so much time!

Thanks Kate and Everrise for the golden experience.

Western Gallery

June 4, 2013June 4, 2013 sweet surrender No Comments

Western Gallery is located at Pending, not far from Laven Bridal Gallery and Hong Leong Bank. It started business some time last year. They serve western food.

Went there for lunch with my parents last month.

Left: The interior is very simple. The kitchen is open concept located in front of the shop.
Right: Jasmine green tea if not mistaken.

It’s been quite awhile and I forgot to take note of the actual name and price of the food.

Left: Garlic butter fish fillet.
Right: Mixed grill, we had lamb, chicken, and pork. Better to share this with another 1 or 2 person if you’re a medium or small eater.

Overall, the meat was cooked to perfection but the marinate was a bit overwhelming for me. Too salty and with very strong spice. The prices were reasonable. I might go back to try other dishes even though the food was not up to my expectations as I forgot this is Kuching, most western cuisine here are customized to fit local taste.

Tutti Frutti

June 2, 2013June 3, 2013 sweet surrender No Comments

June! Second day of June, we’re in the middle of 2013 now! Very scary… Anyway, no more Adelaide’s post starting from now.

Happened to be at City One, one of the latest shopping malls in Kuching, when Tutti Frutti was having it’s grand opening and had an offer of 20% off (if not mistaken, there’s discount for sure just don’t remember how much)

My parents and I decided to try it out because of the discount, 10gm for RM0.56, else we won’t bother. Due to the discount, there’s so many people lining up.

We had three flavours, mango, strawberry, and vanilla. This small tub cost us almost RM20! If there’s no discount, it would cost even more! Very pricey. It’s pretty heavy. You get to pump your own frozen yogurt and add your own toppings, then they will weigh and you pay. It’s not a cheap thing to indulge in.

I first came across this sort of concept in Adelaide, the price turned me off from trying it out. There’s many frozen yogurt establishments now in Kuching and I think this is the only one letting you pump your own.

Will I have it again? If I’m not the one paying. I really can’t get myself to spend almost RM20 or more on something like this -.-” With this money, I can have a number of proper meals.

Big Wang BBQ

May 28, 2013May 29, 2013 sweet surrender No Comments

If not mistaken, this is my final Adelaide food post. After this post, there won’t be anything about Adelaide anymore. That’s the end of my almost 2 years adventure. Maybe, this also means I should let go of all the past, live in the present and starting to plot my future seriously after almost 3 months coming back. I’m still quite blur and wondering on where to go next. Anyway, let’s talk about the food.

Big Wang BBQ (305 Morphett St, Adelaide, SA 5000) was quite new when I went there with my Chinese friends for my farewell dinner. It’s so seclude and not obvious at all.

Left: The interior is very simple, not much of decorations. However, please be prepared to smell like BBQ infused with cumin spice after dining here.
Right: Beansprout (AUD5.80), it tasted as it should. Nothing to rave about it. Portion wise was average.

These are just part of what we ordered, chicken, lamb, mushroom, and some internal organs of chicken and pig, and so on. All tasted the same as it’s using the same spice. My friends were very happy with it. It wasn’t bad. We’re stuffed to the brim as we ordered too much for only 5 of us. As for the price, it’s reasonable. All in all I think we spent almost AUD100 for this meal includive of drinks. You need to drink plenty of water eating this.

It was okay for our experience. Will go back if there’s chance but it seemed like there’s many negative feedbacks on it these days. Hmm…
