Swanky Sarah

OK… Enough of GE-13 talk, don’t want to talk about it anymore. Nothing to talk also. It’s always the same thing over and over again. Better eat!

My first food preview in Kuching after a long time. This is Swanky Sarah, the new place in town. In fact it started its operation more than a month ago but I only post it now hehehe… If you know Simplicious then that’s where Swanky Sarah is. If you don’t know, just like me, then here’s the address: 39, Pisang Road off Green Road, 93400 Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia. I’m hopeless with address, map, and direction hahaha… So don’t ask me extra details on the location, I circled the area 3 times to locate it hahaha… It’s somewhere opposite Furniture Expo and the church.


This post is no longer a preview ;p people open for business already, I’m late in posting. Hehehe… More than a month after the preview.

Left: Blue Lagoon and Soda Peach. Blue Lagoon tasted like blue coloured sprite provided you make use of the lemon in there while Soda Peach, I guess it’s just peach flavoured soda. No idea of the price though.

Right: Garden Salad With Dressing 1000 Island (RM8.90). The portion is rather huge. Just finishing this dish yourself will ruin the rest of your appetite becuase you are full from it hahaha… Don’t forget to share this so that you can still eat other stuffs.


Left: Grilled Calamari Ring (RM14.90), oh I so love this! Yummy!

Right: Charcoal BBQ Pork Belly (RM10), gosh! Love this too!


Left: Cincalok aka Nyonya Dip that comes with the pork belly. Heavenly to pair it with the pork belly. It’s good to have it on its own too. In fact, I prefer to have it on its own.

Right: Fabulous Chicken Wing (RM13.90), it’s BBQ-ed.

Here comes the main course, they all served with papadom, Salad & Potatoes of the Day, with choices of sauce namely Black Pepper, Mushroom or Garlic.

Charcoal BBQ Beef Sirloin (RM34.90). It’s not the usual type of steak, this is marinated and BBQ over the charcoal which explains why it’s so black. I really love it!


Charcoal BBQ Lamb Shoulder (RM27.90). I prefer my lamb to be well done, this is a bit too raw and chewy for me. It does taste good though.


Left: BBQ Half Quarter Chicken (RM39), the chicken was BBQ to perfection! MAN! Love it so much! So tender and juicy and the skin is the best part. However, I feel that it’s a bit pricey with that price -.-” Remember to share this, it’s hard to finish alone. Wait… Half? Quarter? Hmm… Might be wrongly printed in the menu. This is half chicken for sure.

Right: Charcoal BBQ Spare Ribs (RM8.90 per 100gm). This is yummy too! OH! How I wish I could enjoy this that night but we were all stuffed to the brink. So sad…


The sauce, mushroom and black pepper.

I know the photos don’t look nice, lousy composition. It’s been a long time not doing this anymore. Need to brush up the skill.

Overall, it’s a nice plce, environment was great too. No photo of it because it’s not completed yet when we were there. If you want to enjoy pork dish, then do visit Swanky Sarah.

Chocolate Bean

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Chocolate Bean

Back to Adelaide’s food post. Few more to go before I’m done with it. It’s been 2 months coming back and I’m still struggling to settle down.

Anyway, back to the main topic. I was told about Chocolate Bean but couldn’t locate it until one of my friends brought me there. It’s so near to where I lived yet I couldn’t find it because it’s in the small lane. I tried locating it via Google but I’m a map and direction idiot ;p. It’s less than 5 minutes walk from my place only *LOL*


Very cosy place. Love it! It’s located at 18 Union Street East End, Adelaide.


Left: I don’t quite remember what’s this. Extremely chocolatey! It’s a bit too much for me but we’re sharing so it’s fine. It should be chocolate mud cake.
Right: Lemon cheesecake. This is nice too. Just enough to even out the chocolate mud cake sweetness.


Left: White Chocolate Tea (AUD4.50), heavenly! I LOVE IT!!! Too bad… No more chance to go anymore as I only discovered it 2 weeks before I left. 🙁 I don’t know how to explain the taste but it’s not as heavy as chocolate and not as light as tea. Not too sweet too. Tasted slightly like milk tea but not milk tea. So hard to explain, you have to try it yourself to know.

Right: Dark Chocolate Tea (AUD4.50), not bad too but still prefer White Chocolate Tea.

I went there 3 times in 2 weeks! My final 2 weeks in Adelaide. Couldn’t get enough of it.

Highly recommended!

Melbourne (13/2/13-16/2/13) – Part 6

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Melbourne (13/2/13-16/2/13) – Part 6

Final part of Melbourne trip. Our flight was at night, so in the morning we went to QV for a walk and lunch before going to the airport.

Simple found a place to settle our lunch at the food court. Don’t even remember the name hahaha… Anyway, it was located near Dan Murphy in QV. They served Singaporean and Malaysian cuisine. We ordered their lunch set which came with a glass of drink.

Left: Singapore Fried Noodle with Shrimps.


Left: Beef Brisket with Noodle Soup.
Right: Chicken Spare Ribs in Spicy Salt and Steamed Rice. If this came with a small bowl of soup, it would be great as it’s too dry.

Overall, the food was ok. Service was great.

After lunch, we had a walk at QV and came to this place where they are having a exhibition in creating some sort of awareness.

Guests were allowed to write their wishes on the cards and tie it anywhere in the area. Very interesting concept.

We also went to the library for air-con *LOL* too hot out there! Spent our time there until about 3pm and we headed back to our apartment to wait for our taxi.

Off we went to the airport. Window shopping at the airport. Then we had our dinner at Nando’s before boarding.

This sums up the our Melbourne trip. We reached Adelaide quite late at night and there was massive jam in the city because of the Chinese New Year event at Chinatown and also because it’s a Saturday, people were out too.

Third day in Melbourne, it was the main purpose we’re here.


Booked a Great Ocean Road Day Tour for AUD89/person. It’s a 12 hour plus tour.


Nothing much but just stopping in various locations for photos opportunties.


Sharing some photos taken on the road and also at the pit stops.


Very nice sceneries. The Great Ocean Road, I’ve been hearing about it many many times but never got the chance to go for such road trip until now.


One of the stops, for toilet break and also to spot some koalas and feed some birds. Spot the big one?!? HAHAHA!


Left: Koala sleeping, all they did is eat and sleep.
Right: The place where we had to gather to get on the bus again.


After the stop, we headed to lunch at Iluka Motel and Restaurant. We were given a list in the bus to tick our food preference. There’s 5 of us so we choosed 5 different dishes to try. This one is lamb in pita wrap.


Fish and chips, and chicken.


Rice and pasta for the vegetarians, and chicken schnitzel. The food was not bad, better than expected.

The tour package came with lunch. There’s another package with BBQ lunch but I opted for this.

After lunch, we continued with our journey.

Left: Flinders Train Station.
Right: After the bus ride, we headed to Chinatown for lunch.


The arc of Chinatown, how can you miss it?


After a walk down the street, we ended up at The Crane Restaurant. My first time ordering food using iPad ;p In fact it’s nothing new just that I never patron such restaurants *LOL*


Left: Fish fillet in hot and sour soup (AUD8), very big, have to share this.
Right: Don’t remember what’s this. It’s eggplant and green beans with rice.


Left: Mixed mushroom rice in soup in stone clay pot (AUD10.80). Have to share this too.

Overall, the food portion was rather big and price was reasonable. Food tasted not so bad too. Many choices to choose from that gave us headache on what to order.


Left: The state library, very nice architecture.

Right: After lunch, we took the free tram to Harbour Town.


Harbour Town, thought of buying some clothes there but nothing to buy -.-” Couldn’t find what I want.

This was our final destination of the day. Day 3 coming up…
