Tarts & Juice Island 小島

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Tarts & Juice Island 小島


Tarts & Juice Island, another place for dessert at ST3. They specialized in tarts. Used to located in one of the corner shops up there in the building, very seclude but they cleverly used the smell of butter to lure people over there. Now, they are relocated to the side just opposite Citadines’ entrance.


Lots of good reviews on their tarts. Finally I get to try them myself. I’m not a tart person. So… It’s just tart to me… Forgot how much was that mini tart. However, I like the Matcha Crepe (RM10). I think I get to like crepe more now rather than normal cakes because it’s not as sweet, as rich and as heavy.

Overall, it’s a good place for good desserts. Just one complain, the place was very narrow. Other than that, all were well.

Destino Dé Espresso

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Destino Dé Espresso


Destino Dé Espresso located at G62,Ground Floor CityONE Magamall, No.1, Jalan Song, 93350 Kuching. Another new addition to the coffee places in Kuching. Not really new actually, it’s been operating for few months.


It does not only serve coffee and desserts but also main dishes. Heard that portion is huge. I’ve seen the photos of people who dined there, it’s indeed huge. The decorations in the cafe is very unique too. This is one example, the old sewing machine pedal. Lots of old items are utilized for its interior decorations.


Left: Ordered its chai latte. Hmmm… I don’t remember how it tasted *LOL*

Right: Salted Cheese Cake is quite good, sweet with hints of saltiness from the cheese. Very rich and moist cake. Highly recommended. However, I won’t be able to finish it on my own, I need to share this. The cake cost RM11 if I’m not mistaken.

Overall, the price is rather high but food quality is good. Nice environment too. Only down side is that the place is rather narrow.

The Barber

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on The Barber

The Barber (74, Lebuh Wayang, 93100 Kuching, Sarawak) is located next to The Junk.


Been wanting to try it but chickened out because the place looked spooky with all those old barber shop props in there especially the fake heads. It was a barber shop before. Finally one day, we have no choice as The Junk was fully booked, so we had to go to The Barber. Reluctant but still went.


The interior design is very unique, certainly something you don’t get anywhere in Kuching.


Few months back, the kitchen wasn’t ready so the menu was from The Junk. Now, they have their own menu serving gourmet Asian fusion food but you can still order the food from The Junk.

We ordered from both restaurants, The Barber and The Junk.

Left: I think this should be “Truffle” French Fries with Grated Parmesan (RM12). It’s ok, tasted as it should. Not oily.

Right: Shrimp pasta (RM26), linguini pasta in creamy sauce, capers, lemon with Cajun spiced shrimps. According to the person who ordered this, it’s just normal.


Left: Grilled Salmon (RM36), Salmon steak on a bed of quinoa salsa, rocket salad and tomatoes with lemon and dill sauce. Unfortunately, the fish was overcooked, too dried. Definitely a one person portion, cannot be something for sharing.

Right: From The Junk, one of our favourites, Duck Mango Salad (RM38). Definitely a sharing portion. This time around was a bit too spicy and wet but still good.

Overall, price wise, it’s high. Portion is not as big as we expected and the taste is just average. Will I come back? Depends on who I’m going with as my usual dining companion doesn’t like the environment of the place, she said it’s spooky hahaha…

Kedai Kopi Kim Hing

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Kedai Kopi Kim Hing

Kedai Kopi Kim Hing is located in Semenyih next to a primary school, Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Cina Sin Ming.


A row of old shops which housed a number of coffee shops serving different food. Always filled with people. This is the place for breakfast in Semenyih. The locals sure love this place. Food is good and cheap.


Left: Milo, very thick. This is the kind of Milo you should get in old school coffee shops in Malaysia.

Right: The signature dish of this coffee shop, steamed and toast bread with butter and their homemade kaya. OH! Heaven! Having pipping hot soft and fluffy bread with mixture of melted butter and kaya is sure a good way to start your morning. This is what you called Malaysian breakfast.


Left: The curry noodle from the other shop, just next door, not bad as well. It’s not as spicy as it looked. Many people ordered it too.

Right: Another breakfast item that Malaysians love! Soft boil eggs! This is from Kedai Kopi Kim Hing. I think they have their own concoction of soy sauce and pepper powder as they don’t taste like normal soy sauce or pepper powder. More on the sweeter side. Despite the unique taste, they are still good. However, I still prefer the usual soy sauce and pepper powder.

If you’re around, do pay them a visit, better go early as I’m sure they sold out fast.

Restoran Xin Shi Jie

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Restoran Xin Shi Jie

After we got back from the mountainous drive, it’s time for dinner. Had dinner at Restoran Xin Shi Jie (No. 21-G, Jalan Semenyih Sentral 4, Semenyih Sentral, Selangor Darul Ehsan, 43500 Semenyih).

Was quite exhausted already, not really in the mood to eat so just simply ordered some food which according to my bro, these are their signature dishes. Have not much details of the food. Just to share where you can find good food in Semenyih.


Mixed bean, crunchy and fresh. A little on the spicy side.


Left: Salted egg yolk deep fried calamari. This is highly recommended. I like it.

Right: Xin Shi Jie’s signature taufu. It tasted as it should.

Overall, the food is good and affordable. Just one thing though, don’t sit near to the cashier area if you can’t stand cigarette smoke. The lady owner is one hell of a chain smoker, goodness… First time I see this kind of smoker.
