Believe it or not? This is my very first time dining at Chong Choon Cafe at Jalan Abell. Quite easy to locate, consider the same row as Air Asia office.

Serious! I’m not kidding you. I’m not the kind that sit at the coffee shop, mostly we buy the food back. Besides that, it’s my first time eating the food there too! So called Kuchingite hahaha… I didn’t go there for the Sarawak Laksa though. I went there for my lunch 2 months ago. I was waiting for my IELTS speaking test so I went there with another candidate. Just found out the photos were in my phone and I forgot to transfer to my computer.

We did not have much time to enjoy and they’re closing. No mood to enjoy too. There were what we ordered:

Left: Kolo lau su fen, literally translate it as rat noodle (RM2.50). Don’t worry, it’s not made from rats! Another name for it is silver needle noodle. The noodle is red because it was added with char siew oil. Or usually if you want to have this, you can say “pang ang” (in Hokkien, it means you want it to be red). In fact you can ask for this in any kolo dish. No extra charge.

Right: Kolo mee (RM2.50). I’m not a fan of kolo mee, I usually don’t order kolo mee, I usually cannot finish one bowl on my own, just few mouths and I’ll be full. I wanted to order the wonton soup but it was out of stock. Nothing else to order, I ended up with kolomee. Luckily I managed to finish everything. Don’t ask me to give comment whether it’s good or not because I don’t really know what a good kolomee should be ;p At least this one did not torture me, I managed to finish it, quite slowly… Did not want to waste food.

Overall, nothing much I can comment about the place. However, it is a place that you can go if you want to experience the old school kopitiam in Kuching. It is one of the most popular kopitiams serving one of the best Sarawak Laksa in town but be sure to be there as early as you can because it’s too popular! You can also find humongous 3-layer Teh C Peng there.

After so long, finally I spent my money at Old Town White Coffee @ Hills. Did not have a very pleasant experience at the one at airport. Went to the one at Hills because my friends had chosen this place. No choice.

We ordered 2 types of toasts. The one here is kaya and butter toast (single), RM1.80. The kaya and butter toast was not that bad but make sure you don’t wait till it’s cold to savour it. Best to eat it while it’s still hot but not easy because the air con there was quite cold and anything hot would turn cold in no time ;p The two sticks of butter was definitely very sinful but quite nice when the toast was still warm.

Left: Peanut butter toast (single), RM1.80. This one is quite disappointing. I can do better peanut butter toast.

Right: Lime juice(RM3.90), White Coffee Gao(RM3.90), Old Town Teh Tarik (RM3.90), Lemon Pepsi (RM4.50).

I personally think that the teh tarik is a bit too sweet for me. As for the size, it’s a bit small glass but that’s their standard.

Can you believe it? This is my first time dining at the food court of Boulevard Shopping Mall in Kuching hahaha… Ordered the food at the Foochow stall and dessert stall.

Left: Seafood soup (RM5.50 inclusive of rice. No rice, RM4.50). The soup looked packed with ingredients but the fact was that the fish balls, fish cakes, and so on were sliced. It created an illusion that it’s a lot. Taste wise, not so bad.

Right: Xian chao ice dessert (don’t remember the price).

Saw people ordered this and the portion looked was so huge. So we ordered a plate too. Personally, I can share this with another small eater. This is known as Foochow wet fried noodle (RM5). The stall operator told us that there’s red wine in it. There’s a bit of red wine taste, wasn’t that strong. Overall taste, not sure how to describe the taste, at least it didn’t torture my taste palate.

This happened few weeks back, only update now hehehe… Had a tea break with my friends at Kado. Ordered some food for our hang out session after class.

Left: Turkey Ham Pancake(RM2.80), it’s quite salty.

Right: Spring Onion Pancake(RM2.80), the smell was quite nice, but texture was noting to rave.

Left: Fries(RM6), the fries was OK, just nice.

Right: Peach Girl(RM8.90), it’s actually peach tea. It was a bit too sweet for us at first so we asked them to add more water. You can get refill for it too. 4 of us shared this pot of tea.

In fact, we split cost for everything ordered. The last time I went to Kado was in 2008 and never stepped there until few weeks ago ;p

The Big Bean is located at Sekama. You can see it from the main road. It’s a the corner shop almost opposite Shell. Had lunch there few weeks ago but only update now ;p

Left: Chicken rice (RM2), the rice was dry and the chicken really a bit only but the rice was quite a lot. What do you expect from RM2 chicken rice?

Right: I asked for fried beansprout mee (RM3) but they gave me fried mee(RM4.50). It’s quite oily. You can choose to have prawn or chicken, of course I opted for prawn.

I noticed many stalls closed after 1pm, not many choices left that time.
