Kueh chap

One of my newest stalls to operate this month is this Kueh Chap stall. One of the dishes that one must have when visit Kuching and mostly could be found in coffee shops and food courts over here.



RM8 for normal bowl and RM10 for big bowl, you will get assortment of porks parts and offals together with the flat rice noodles in a rich, herbal broth. 



The chilli dipping was spicy but really compliment well with the kueh chap. 


I had the taste of it when it opened for business last week. Strong herbal soup, good for those who enjoy this thick and strong taste. Normal bowl for me was just nice.

A drive to the beach

We had a drive to the beach when my sil and her children were here last week.  We only drove over when the rain had stopped in the afternoon. Along the way, we could enjoyed the nice misty view of the countryside. 



Even Mount Santubong was almost covered by clouds. Nevertheless, it was a beautiful and calm view to enjoy in. 


We went to Sarawak Geopark beach, which was free for everyone. Just a short stroll, enjoy ice-cream cone and some photo taking before heading back home. 


Nice weather to walk in, it was a very breezy day. 


Too windy that red flag alert for the sea, so no one was allowed to go into the water.

Last evening

It was the last evening my sil and her children spent with us before they flew back to Sibu on Friday morning. 

Weather was very warm that evening but we decided to head out for dinner instead of cooking at home. 

We went to this food court for dinner. I wanted to treat them to the nice mini oyster pancakes that we always order whenever we come here.


The irresistible pancakes that my kids love. We had 2 sets of these 10 mini pancakes. 



Some pork satay to share around the table from Marin's satay stall.

Somehow most of us ended with Thai food that evening. My sil has tom yum soup with mee hoon, while I went for the pineapple fried rice. I love Thai pineapple fried rice. My girl also went for the same dish. 


My boy decided to challenge his taste buds by tasting this tom yum fried mee hoon. He had some hard time but ended up finishing his plate. Kudos to him!!

Like I mentioned earlier, it was a very warm evening, so everyone was sweaty and hot after we were done with our dinner.

Liang Gee

It was after 9pm and my man was complained of hunger. So we went to Central Park Commercial Centre for supper. Luckily the rain has stopped. We do have a lot of rain pours lately and last Saturday, there were many areas in Kuching flooded. 

Hubby brought me to Liang Gee Kopitiam for a nice plate of fried kway teow. Initially he wanted to let me try kway chap but the stall was closed. So we decided to take fried kway teow instead. 


This RM7 fried kway teow was pretty nice. I loved that they added lots of cockles in it. Super big portion, fit for sharing. 


After filled up our tummy, we headed back home.

A visit

My sil and her two young children are paying us a visit, staying in our house for over a week. They flew in on Wednesday morning. 

In a taxi, they directly went to our coffee shop from the airport for breakfast. After a while, I took the children back to meet up with their cousins. Children, they do get along and blend in pretty fast. 

On the first evening, I drove them around the old part of Kuching, namely Electra House as I needed to collect my sio bee (siu mai) from Open Air Market. Then we went back to our area and settled our dinner at this food court. It has become our favourite dinner place as they have many choices for everyone.


We seated right in front of this big soup jar. A food stall selling nutritious Chinese soup such as peanut soup, cordyceps pork rib soup etc. hubby tasted its peanut pork ribs soup before. He seemed to enjoy it. 


No, no one ordered soup that evening. I ain't going to go into much on what we had as it was more or less the same like what we had during our last visit.


A friend recommended that we try the kompia from the kampua stall. So we ordered some to try this round. 
It was good, well fried and crispy. Not too salty, the taste was nice. 

Jay ordered beef pepperoni (RM18) from Small Coconut stall. 

He finished most of it so I guess it was nice. I didn't get to taste it, so I can't say much about it. 

We meant to go to Aeon Mall for shopping but as Jan was having her last SPM exam paper on Thursday, we decided to go another day for that.

Touch your heart

Dim sum, literally means "touch your heart" is a Cantonese dish that usually eaten for breakfast and brunch. 

Dim sum served with tea eventually evolved into the modern "yam cha".  This delectable morsel is served in bamboo steamers, making it a distinctive Cantonese culture.


Since last month, Jia Hao Cafe started provide more choice for patrons by serving dim sum. For time being, we have 10 types of dim sum for customers to enjoy. 

When think of dim sum, what is the first thing comes to mind?? Char siew bao?? Har Kau (prawn dumplings)? We have that cover for you.


Har kau

The China-originated soup dumplings aka xiao long bao is also on the menu, so for those who love the piping hot pork soup dumpling, you can give this a taste. 

Xiao long bao

Slowly gaining popularity is this bacon roll, which was loved by younger customers. Savoury bite with that bacony flavour.

Chicken feet and braised pork with yam are also quite a hit among the customers.

Lo mai kai and lotus glutinous rice are both rice based dim sum that we offer.

The best seller is the custard bun. Liu sha bao is an irresistible snack that is soft and fluffy outside while oozing with egg yolk custard inside.

So when you need a quick bite or a side dish, don't forget to order one or more basket of dim sum.

Opened in Pines Square

For Sushi King's loyal fans, now it has opened in Pines Square, Batu Kawa. Good news for my kids who love Japanese cuisine. 

The outlet opened up not too long ago, sometimes end of last year. We only get to visit it last month, a little celebration for the girl who was officially graduated from her secondary school.  

We seated next to the conveyor belt so we could grab whatever sushi we liked. Interesting for the younger one who commented he never had macaron before, he grab one macaron to try. Sweet was his response!!
