Oh I’m so hungry… Finally food! Free food! Hehehe…

The Island Of Food!


The appetizers.


The main courses with the hungry people. There were fried rice, bee hoon, butter prawn, mix veggies, chicken wings etc. All Singaporean style.


Left: Fruit platters. Very nice, very colourful but I didn’t have the chance too eat it hahaha… I was too indulged in the appetizers and main course.
Right: For the album.

Opsss.. Forgot to edit the pictures of the vergetable+fruit drinks and the mushroom soup.

The mushroom soup is so thick and rich. You can taste the cheese and milk in there, very sinful dish. It took me a while to figure out what kind of soup was that. It’s so different from other places. You can have this if you opt for the western menu.

The vegetable+fruit juice is green in colour. I’m not sure how’s the taste because they didn’t serve it to me.

During the whole time there, I don’t think they serve any carbonated drinks too us. They were all fresh juices or maybe syrup except the vegetable+fruit juice but those drinks didn’t taste like syrup to me. *Scratch head* No idea.

Hmmmm… Grand opening soon… I wonder will have the chance to go again or not? I’m sure the food will be different by then 😛

PIKOM 2007

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on PIKOM 2007

I always thought that PIKOM is a one year one time thing. I don’t know since when they have it more than once a year. Anyway, I’m not interesting in going to this sort of computer fairs anymore especially the one in Kuching well… If KL’s or Singapore then that’s different story. Besides that, I’m no longer interested in these stuffs after a series bad luck with electronic gadgets that I had bought. So now if you ask me what is the latest graphic cards, latest speed, latest processor etc. *Stare-At-You+Blankly* I have no idea *SHRUG*.

The fair is more like a warehouse sales rather than exhibiting the latest technologies. Last time I would make sure I visit every PC fairs in Kuching that I know but now I’m not eager to go any unless I need to buy something. It’s always the same old companies everywhere. The market is already monopolised and spoilt by them. So? What to expect?

There were so many people today because it’s public holiday for Sarawak today. Today is Good Friday. If it’s not public holiday, there won’t be so many people in the afternoon. It was sardine packed. Not easy to walk and see things properly. Very hot and noisy too. The exhibitors were practically blasting all sort of musics off from speakers, sub-woofers, computer etc. Very irritating!

I wasn’t enjoying myself at all, it’s making me very bad temper. I hate crowds! It’s actually a last minute decision to go there after having lunch with my family somewhere nearby and my bro wanted to buy something that’s why we went there.

You know how bad temper I was that time? The poor promoter got “bombed” by me while I’m waiting for my bro and dad with my mom at one corner. The promoter was trying to introduce Streamyx package that comes with a HP computer for RM99 per month, she talked to my mom, I ignored her. I just told my mom we already have Streamyx at home, there is no point for her to promote it to us. Then my mom told her that. Next she asked what kind of package that we are subscribing. I glanced at her, she was smiling that time, and I blurted out in a rahter harsh manner, “Who cares anyway? Any pacakge is the same!”. (-.-“) I felt so bad after that but what else I can do? Go up and say sorry? I’m sure she had came across many people like this already, I’m just one of them. It’s just parts and puzzles of their work nature so be it.

I still can’t believe that I actually responded that way. I had never do this to promoters. Usually I would just tell them in a very polite way or just walked away. Blame the crowd, the heat and the stupid musics!

That’s my report for PIKOM. By the way, PIKOM is here for 3 days, 6th-8th April at 5th Floor, Permata Carpark.

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on The BanQuet – Installation Ceremony & Press Conference

It was the installation ceremony, press conference cum soft opening yesterday at The BanQuet. Their trial run period will be 15 days starting today. They will prefer you to book within this 15 days rather than walk-in. Grand opening will be on 21st April. It’s a very hi-tech restaurant. You know why? According to the owner, their ordering and billing systems are all computerised. Your orders will be sent to the drinks section, the kitchen and other related departments via computer, then when you pay, everything is in the POS already.


As usual, some speeches from the management and then installation ceremony started.

The BanQuet

Posted on By sweet surrender 15 Comments on The BanQuet

WAHAHA!!! I hope I’m the first in Kuching blogsphere to blog about this new place, The BanQuet. A place for your wedding and formal/casual functions. Basically it’s a restaurant with different touch, not your typical restaurant. They provide Chinese food, western food or you can even combine both of them for your function. You can even opt for outdoor wedding banquet there.

How lucky I am to be able to go there to eat for FREE! WAHAHAH! I really can’t help it! Hehehe… That’s how lucky it is to be a food blogger 😛 Just joking, I’m not that popular to the extend where people actually invite me to their soft opening. Still, I was invited because… It’s related to my work and at the same time have fun eating hehehe… I’m not working there just in case you thought I am. An affiliate invited us over to introduce some people to us and to let me take photos for one of our projects. I think 99% I’m the first one to blog about it!! Damn kiasu le~~~

Let me present to you… THE BANQUET! Situated near Everrise 4th Mile. It’s quite easy to spot.

Go Fun Kee

Posted on By sweet surrender 5 Comments on Go Fun Kee

GO FUNKY!! Hahahaha… This is actually the previous Red Tea Road at Third Mile. They had changed their name to Go Fun Kee, specialised in Bak Kut Teh. They still have those popular bubble and milk teas on sell but it’s not longer their primary business.

Left: Ice Lemon Tea(RM1.60) and Jasmine Milk Tea(RM2.70). The Jasmine Milk Tea still tastes as good as before.
Right: Chili(very small type, very spicy) and garlic for Bak Kut Teh. Very colourful right? Hahaha.. You guess it right! Bak Kut Teh again! This is the 3rd time I’m eating Bak Kut Teh this year.


Left: With light soy sauce. I prefer to have it this way.
Right: With dark soy sauce.


Left: What do you think this is? Hmm… Imagine you are around the pig or chicken farm area. This is the smell you will get. It’s “chou dou fu”, smelly tofu! Hahahah… It’s not that empowering but for those that are quite sensitive, I’m sure they can’t even put them into their mouth and might just puke everything out. I’m sure it’s improvised to suit our local taste. The actual smelly tofu should be much more empowering. This should be the only place in Kuching that sells smelly tofu. For portion like this, it will cost you RM2.50.


Left: The main course! Bak Kut Teh! Very thick. We ordered the set which cost us RM13 for 2 persons. You can choose 4 type of spare parts of the pig from the menu. You can choose from liver, intestines, lean meat, fat meat, stomach etc.
Right: Plain rice.

Guees what? The coffee shop is graded with “B”. Hmm… I wonder why is it “B”? AH!!! Must be that smelly tofu. The council’s officers might have smell the smell of the tofu but didn’t know it’s the tofu and thought that it’s from the toilet. That’s why they gave them a “B”. Hahaha…

Get funky with Bak Kut Teh!
