Bintawa Kueh Chap, my must-have when I went back. Tried going there 2 times and both times they’re closed *LOL*. Wrong timing. Finally managed to eat it on my last night in Kuching phew…

They had moved to a new place, no longer at Bintawa. It’s now located at Jalan Keranji at Tabuan Jaya. The shop near the apartment there. Here’s the address: No.1310, Lot 7719, Jalan Keranji, Tabuan Jaya.

I felt that the portion was a bit small this time. Price and the taste still maintained though.

Noodle Descendents is not really a new place but it just moved from its old location at Bishopgat to Padungan recently, not far from the famous Kuching white cat statue. Always long queue and the wait is always very long.

I managed to try it out and waited for almost an hour. Mind you, there’s no queue some more and we had to share table. This place is famous for its kolo mee and pork soup since 1957. We usually bought it home instead of dining there when it was at its old place. This is our first time dining in this new location.

After a loooong wait… By the way, that’s not the actual serve of the noodle ;p too hungry, forgot to take photo of it. This green bowl is actually the extra bowl for me to share with my parents as I’m not a kolo mee eater, I can’t finish a bowl myself hehehe…

So there you go… One of the longest serving eateries in Kuching. Prepare to wait for a long long time.

If not mistaken, Ayam Tulang Lunak is a rather new eatery in Kuching. Located as Wisma Ho Ho Lim.

Very easy to locate, same row as Air Asia office.

Left: Ayam Bakar (RM8)
Right: Ayam Penyet (RM8.50)

Overall, maybe it’s just me. I’m disappointed again in terms of taste and presentation. However, the place is quite clean.

Oh why oh why? How come almost all of the new eateries these days lack in these aspects? Even people like me who are rather easy going and do not ask for too much can have such impression, then it would be even worst with those critical people that fuss about even the smallest details.

Anyway, hopefully these new eateries can improve or risk closing down in no time!

I’ve been seeing my friends going to Gourmet Sausage (1st floor, Sublot 10, L12161, Song Plaza, Jalan Tun Jugah, Jalan Song,) in FB. Finally, I got to go there and try it out.

Left: The interior. It’s rather dark but I found it a great place to hang out as it’s quite spacious.
Right: Fish on Fire (RM14.90, it’s the special of the day). It’s fish fillet with vegetables and mashed potato. Quite a filling dish.

Left: Mix-Dog (RM15.90), combination of pork Thueringer, chili, and cheese sausages served with coleslaw and fries.
Right: Chicken on Fire (RM14.90), fire grilled chicken breast drizzled with black pepper or mushroom gravy. For ours, we went for mushroom. There’s also mashed pototo and vegetables. It’s rather huge too.

All in all, taste wasn’t not so bad and price was acceptable. Go back? Maybe, for the sake of hanging out with friends. As usual, I don’t usually go to the same place over and over again unless people want to go there.

My firts meal in Kuching, lunch at Lao Zhi Hao Bak Kut Teh located near OneTJ.

Left: Dry bak kut teh (RM10 – small)
Right: The normal bak kut teh (RM10 – small)
Overall… Portion rather small, didn’t expect this small for small *LOL* Taste wise, it didn’t blow me away, just so-so.

The, few days later, we went to Bun Hock Kitchen at Song Thian Chiok Road located at the same section of Jade Pot Tea for dinner.

Left: Tomato crispy mee (RM5), the gravy is very sweet.
Middle: Oat chicken with Rice (RM5.50), was expeting it to have some sauce or something instead it was just dry. It’s pretty hard to eat. The more I ate, the sweeter it got. If the rice came with a bowl of soup, then it won’t be so hard to eat.
Right: Beancurd with minced meat with rice (RM5.50), hmmm… I tried a bit, the taste just didn’t register. I don’t know how to say *LOL*
My verdict? I won’t go back again. Presentation was a pity, food tasted below average. Really not my cup of tea. Well… Maybe it’s yours.
