My mom asked me to cook rice last Sunday but I forgot to press the “cook” button of the rice cooker -.-” It was 2pm+ already when they got back. So we decided to go out to eat else we need to wait till almost 3pm then could have our lunch.
Went to Song Kheng Hai Hawker Center to have our lunch as the last resort because many places were closing.
Many people still having their lunch and you can see birds everywhere, on the table, on the floor, looking for food.
Left: Belacan beehoon… Yummy… Heavenly π It smells like smelly socks according to the many foreigners. One of the best belacan bee hoon is available here.
Right: Cha kueh… I love the cha kueh here. This is the best cha kueh in Kuching for me. Oh well… I grew up eating them so I tend to compare others’ with this one. Last time, long long time ago, almost 20 years ago -.-” OMG… Time really flies… So old already, oh dear… We used to buy them outside Capitol(Or “Capital”? I got mixed up already :P) Cinema where Tun Jugah building is now.
Left: Fried beansprout noodle. I like this noodle too, the sweet type, not the salty one.
Right: Noodle in soup with fishballs.
The stalls no longer operating in the evening since few years back. Their business is always very good as they are mostly hawkers that started their business since decades ago. Not only our elders like them but the younger generation too as we all grew up eating these food.
the tauke of the belacan bee hoo was the famous belacan-man long long time ago before they demolished the old old pondok along padungan. His laksa & belacan beehoon very shiokz.
irene,
You have no idea how much I miss song kheng hai food !! Oh the ABC or special or ice kacang ROCKS. the BEST in kuching also….
The belacan bee hoon, rojak, belacan kangkung… ooohhhhhhh heavenly….
And they are all very lowly priced too compared to many other places.
annna, yes yes… hehehe… I heard of that also.
robin, I’m sure many Kuchingites once they are in overseas will surely miss the food here, it’s our growing up food, hahaha…
Waah! never heared of such places during my time. Remembered tht the first Peninsular Style Coffee shops began openning in Kuching around 1985 or 86! Must be plentiful now! Thanks for keeping an update on Kuching, never know when I will be back there, still have plenty of good friends there too!
bokjae, hehehe… Song Kheng Hai Hawker Center started in the 90’s to accommodate those hawkers like those outside the cinema last time and some other places in Kuching.
Peninsular style? How it’s like? Hahaha… I have no idea.
