Welcome to irenelaw.com

You know how silly I was… Been years… People kept saying “go Swee Kang for ABC”, “Swee Kang for sotong kangkung” and etc., yet I have no idea where it’s located until recently 😛 The funny thing is that I’ve been eating their food for decades! Never know the shop’s or stall’s name hahaha… One fine day, went there for lunch with colleague and get the chance to snap photos of the food there after so many years!!!

Swee Kang is located at 176, Jalan Haji Taha, Kampung Bandarshah, 93400 Kuching. They are serving an array of local favourites. We ordered from almost all of the stalls. I don’t remember any of the pricing though.

Left: Ais Kacang, one of the must-have there. It’s too sweet for me. When my parents ordered this, they’ll request the sweetness to be reduced to half.

Right: Sotong kangkung is cuttlefish with water spinach mixed with prawn paste sprinkled with chopped nuts. If you prefer it spicy, then mix it with chili.

Left: Jelly fish umai, very generous potion. They’re not stingy with the portion, lots of vegetables too.

Right: Need to introduce more? I’m sure you know what’s this. Rojak, fruit and vegetable salad dish which is commonly found in Malaysia and Indonesia.

Left: Cha kueh, radish cake fried with egg and preserved turnip.

Right: Assorted deep fried food normally made up of taufu, fish balls, prawn fritters, and etc. to be eaten with chili sauce.

The place is always packed, business is really good. It’s my first time dining here, normally we bought them home.

Finally a post almost 10 days. Enjoy your weekend!

Sukha, many had been there, me too. Been hearing a lot of good reviews about it, was lucky to have the chance to try. Went there way back in November 2015. Hehehe… Many posts in queue.

Located at Brighton Square (Ground Floor, Lot 11963, Block 16, Brighton Square, Jalan Song, 93350 Kuching). They serve a fusion of western and local food. When I went there, it was packed! Business was so good. Not sure about now though, should be still good. They seemed to be famous for their Churos and Waffle Chicken but too bad I’m not a fan of the former.

Left: Nasi Lemak, one of their signature. Priced at RM12, isn’t not your normal nasi lemak price for sure. Sambak was extremely spicy but in a good way. Chicken was tender and juicy.

Right: Chicken Waffle (RM18), savoury dish, interesting combination. Portion was huge, great for sharing. The waffle is buttermilk waffle if not mistaken and it’s drizzled with some maple syrup. Tasted great. There’s no bone in the meat so no worries to eat it like a sandwich.

Overall, the environment is nice, food was good but with higher price tag. Well… Dining in this kind of place, what do you expect? Will I go back again? Yes, of course to try other food. Food price range from RM10-18

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.
