Pan Mee & Beef Noodles @ Hua Hee Cafe, Premier 101

Melky post on Sarawak Foodies picture of Stewed Pork Pan Mee at this shop.  I was so so tempted to try it out.  Before this I have heard my friends commenting that the Pan Mee at this shop is quite good.  One fine Saturday morning i went there with my mom with a mission to hunt down this Pan Mee.

Kind of sad that the Stewed Pork Pan Mee is out of stock so we settle for the original Pan Mee.  I tried the soup,  it was tasty.  Can see it was well cooked soup, the sweetness of the soup came from hour of boiling and the ingredient that they add in it.  It was not those artificial seasoning kind of soup.

I ordered the beef noodles.  The noodles was ok only.  I think the water that use to cook the noodles was not changed that cause the noodles to be bit sticky.  The beef soup was very tasty.  It will be good if the noodles is cooked with cleaner water.

Tze Chung ordered Ang Cao Mee Sua.  The soup is really rich and tasty.  Full of Ang Chao Rice wine flavour.  Too bad the taukeinio who sell this does not make it everyday.  So if you want to try check out with the taukeinio first.

Durian Burger and Bidin Burger @ Pig Barn, Coffee Talk Cafe, Jalan Song

EEEEKKKKK durian burger?  That is my expression when I heard about it.  Would you think it will be nice? Durian with burger.  I gave a it a go to see if it was nice. When they serve my durian burger in front of me, the durian smell is so strong.  The burger is made up of Pork Patties, the normal condiment, Cheese and top with durian and cheese sauce.  The it was sprinkled with crackling pork.

A bite of that I was hooked! I love it!!  Too bad the owner said this is seasonal.  Durian Burger will be available during durian season only.  I went there the first time when I go there the second time there is no more durian burger.  I have to wait till the next durian season then.

The Durian Burger name is Thorny Affair.  When you order make sure you say it right.. *LOL*

That night we have another burger which is bidin burger.  A truly sarawakian burger! Who don't love bidin in Sarawak.  Burger is serve with pork patties, bacon, cheese and the normal condiments.  It was then top with bidin salad.  To bad it was a limited edition.  It was no longer in the menu.

Bread and Pastries @ Ik Ho Cafe, Ang Cheng Ho

After seeing Melky posted a picture of a bread in Sarawak Foodies group in FB, I was tempted to go and check out this place.  That is all for the love for bread and pastries.  Last Friday I decided to go to check out the place with Chris.  Chris know where the place is located.  It is kind of hidden.

If you know where Sarawak Securities Building is then it will be easier.  After Sarawak Securities building there is a row of shop where there is one travel agency. After that shop there is a turning next to it.  If you drive in straight to the end of the road you will see the shop.

I got Meat Floss Puff.  Is a small puff pastry ball with Lotus seed paste and meat floss in it.  I think this is pork floss.  I forgot to ask the owner.  I love this as it was well balance of sweet and saltiness.  I don't usually like the lotus paste as it is normally very sweet. I guess just because there is meat floss in there which make it well balance.  The meat floss is salty.

I also bought the bread that was shown by Melky in FB.  It is Cheese bread with Ham and Chicken Ham in it.  I like this too.  Even though the bread is kind of thick but you can still taste the cheese and the ham in it.  The cheese and ham is still moist.  I thought it would be dry but it was not.

Then I saw Walnut and Raisin bread,  I am kind of reluctant to buy.  As normally raisin bread will be sweet.  Which I don't really fancy but Chris told me that the bread is nice and not too sweet.  So I decided to give it a try.  Indeed it was not too sweet.

There is a lot more type of pastries and bread that I would like to try.  All of them are freshly backed and hand made. I will be back for more goodies at this shop.

Summer House @ Jalan Reservoir

This place is located near to Sarawak Muzium, there use to be a play ground in between the museum and Summer house.  When I was young my parents would bring me here on weekend.  I would round around the playround.  Nearby the play ground there is place I am not sure how to describe it,  they have a few crocodile in there and some aquarium with fish in there.  I am always excited to see the crocodile.  I do have few old picture of the place.  I need to look up for it. Every sunday there is are band playing at the pavillion near by summer house.

According to my mom this use to be a very famous dating place during their younger time.  The boys will bring their girl friend here for a bowl of ABC and accompanied with rojak or belachan bee hoon.   During my high school time,  I will pass thru here everyday when I walk home from my school.  My school is situated across the road.  A lot of my schoolmate hang out at this place after our saturday school activity.

I went back there again after so long, I can't even remember when is the last time I there.  This time I went there to bring a blogger from Brunei for his food hunting session.  He is Cookie Monster from http://www.thanislim.com.  I am so happy to meet a foodies from another country.  

The structure of Summer House still maintain as last time.  The place has changed owner but they still sell almost the same things.  ABC, Belacan Bee Hoon and Rojak.

There is one things that is missing is the band.  To bad there is no band playing there anymore.  If there is then it was really back to the old time.  

The play ground is no longer there anymore it has been converted to water fountain.  I can't be running around anymore.  No more see saw, no more swing, no more slide....*LOL* *as if i am still able to run around like when i am young*

We Love Soya @ City One Mall

There is so many food outlet open up in City One mall.  I went to We Love Soya few weeks ago with my mom and my brother.

 photo P1013250_zps10320690.jpg

I went in because I saw there is Durian Soya Bean Pudding.  That really catch my eye as durian lover.  I also ordered their original flavour and soya bean milk. The Durian flavoured Soya Bean Pudding is kind of disappointing to me.  As they use durian flavouring.

 photo P1013246_zps54c490db.jpg

The Original Soya Bean Pudding is good.  It was smooth and soft.

 photo P1013248_zps120d9e99.jpg

I love their Soya Bean Milk.  The Milk is thick and very flavourful.

Soft Opening of The Library in Kuching @ ST 3 Mall

I was so excited about The Library opening in Kuching.  My colleague Anthea called me and invited me to their soft opening of the Library.  I was so happy without hesitant I accepted the invitation.

Is an open concept Bistro and Bar.  Nice to hang out.  They have outdoor sitting and indoor sitting.  You won't smell like and ashtray when you go home.

We ordered and ordered and ordered we end up drinking 7 tower.  I sneak away by the time they serve the 7th tower.

If you spend more then RM100 you are entitle to apply for their Library card where you get member price for the beer.  Which I find the member price is quite reasonable.

The chicken was ok only.  It seems like they have lotsa food menu.  Would love to try one of this day.

Sing Kwang Big Pau @ Jalan Padungan

This shop is famous for their super big steamed pork bun.  They have been there for more then 30 yrs or maybe 40 yrs. I love their steamed bun very much.  The meat is well seasoned and not dry.  The one thing that for sure is that their egg is getting smaller.

I have been frequenting this shop quite often. I love the tomato noodles here. The tomato noodles is serve with fried fish fillet. You can actually taste the tomato taste in the gravy and it is well balance of sweet, sour and saltiness.
