Winnie's Cafe

I always wanted to try out the artistic dishes from Winnie's Cafe, thus I made a call to Winnie's Cafe for reservation for TCC birthday dinner. I didn't told him where we were heading for dinner. Nevertheless, he managed to guess the destination on last minute after my few hints. I told Winnie some favorite food of him: Peanut Butter Chicken, Egg Parcel Rice, Brocolli, Potato/Wedges, Ham. The rest of dishes I just let her to decide.

Foods can be turned to very artistic creation at Winnie's Cafe...No MSG & No Pork Served.

Egg Parcel Rice, Grill Chicken Beef Blankets & 5 Small Dishes: Lady Finger with Sambal, Wedges, Black Pepper Lamb, Fried Squid & Fresh Strawberries

We didn't realised the dark thingy was black pepper lamb until we had a chew on it. Super love the black pepper lamb. The sambal for lady finger tasted quite weird, not up to my liking. Strawberries and fried squid were nice too. 

Peanut Butter Drumstick, Bird Eye with Brocolli & 5 Small Dish: Mashed Potato, Pickles, Fried Mushroom, Salad & Sort of bread/ham roll.

The peanut butter drumstick was marvelous. Must try for peanut butter lover! I don't quite like the pickles,. Very sourish with lots of artificial vinegar. I didn't fancy the bread/ham roll and mashed potato too. But the fried mushroom was good~

Total price for two plates=RM46 (25+21). We were given 5% discount too.

Super awkward and discomfort cause only two of us had the dinner at the cafe, with light off some more and religious background music. However, we enjoyed our specially made dinner and thankful for Winnie for the thoughtful food and arrangement.

台湾炙烧牛排

Located somewhere at 4th mile, 台湾炙烧牛排 is a whole new eatery place in the city. Interesting place to be, the ordering method and eating environment are quite different than I always have in Kuching.

You take a seat-> You are presented with menu and order chit -> You decide what to eat and write down  -> You went to cashier in front to order, pay and get your table no. -> Back to seat -> Free flow of cold red tea, iced water and corn soup are available -> Wait for your main course

Interesting place to be. Perhaps it is set up according to Taiwanese style.

the only yet simple menu

order chit

how big and obvious is the table number...

free flow of corn soup & red tea

Golden Steak RM 23.90

 thick noodles served with fried steak and sort of sweet, creamy BBQ sauce, 2 pieces of Broccoli and egg in hot plate...you can choose rice instead of noodles...

Grilled Lamb Chop RM 17.90

thick noodles served with grilled lamb chop and sort of sweet, creamy BBQ sauce, 2 pieces of Broccoli and egg in hot plate 

the portion wasn't as generous as we thought it was with the price we pay. I guess the all the prices in the menu include the charges of the free flow of water and soup.

Sweet Flavors & Musbee Cafe

#1 Sweet Flavors, Jln Song

First visit: 

Super attracted to the colorful iceberg presentation

XXL Iceberg Heaven

nice to see but not nice to eat at all...all the ingredients used were canned foods...not worth for the price...we couldn't finish the whole giant bowl...

Lok Lok from Mobile Lok Lok

Prawn Ball & Veggies Ham were pretty nice and the sauce was awesome...

Second visit (Kinda regret bought two coupons of Sweet Flavours after my first visit):

Sago Dessert with Red Bean

Mango Napoleon

*like the vanilla ice-cream*

Lok Lok...not bad

#2 Musbee Cafe, Jln Tun Ahmad Zaidi Adruce

Teh Dangdut RM2

Snapping around while waiting for my buddy...And she was late and lost for more than 30 minutes...Musbee Cafe must be very very hard to find!

Lalapan Ayam RM12

I only like the brinjal and sambal (but too spicy for me!) for this whole dish! The chicken was so dry and I don't like the tempe at all...

Chat for 3 hours non-stop at Musbee Cafe. What a great catch up after so long!

Colugos Bistro & Grill, Tun Jugah Mall

Affogato 5.90

simply a cup of hot coffee with a scoop of vanilla ice cream

Note the humble chicken portion. Think twice before order this. 

Thai Style Mango Seabass 18.90

Lof Oreo Cheesecake

Overall service was kinda friendly...as for food quality, I would say average rating given.

Charcoal Fried Kueh Tiao, Chawan Road

I don't fancy Kueh Tiao but Charcoal preparation of Fried Kueh Tiao at one stall situated at a house at Chawan Road was good. The business was rather good. At that time I went there, they were running out of Kueh Tiao at 8pm. Two customers walked away when they were informed that Kueh Tiao was no more available.

4 tables for seating were provided

King's Grand & Queenie

Submitted an entry to King's Grand Ice-Cream Contest using Queen old picture. Every qualified entry were given one voucher that can redeem 2 boxes of Grand 1L Ice-cream from any Giant Stores.

Went to Giant Stutong twice to redeem the ice-cream but fail to spot any Grand Ice-Cream in the store. A staff told me the stocks would be arrived by following day evening then finally managed to bring back 2 boxes of Ice-Cream back with me on third visits.

Only for voucher redemption and not for sale

The only one flavor-Triple Chocolate for redemption

His Black Straight Kolo Mee & Kopi C

My White Curly Kolo Mee & Teh C

How did you spend your non working days?

updating...

Everyday was a raining day for the past few days. I almost late to work and I took almost an hour to reach home everyday. I guess the weather and also our Malaysia day rehearsal was making the traffic so terrible for the past one week. Every working day was pretty much the same. Very routine and sort of get used to it. Periodically went to a few outlets to make some checking and writing reports. Browsing my SD card, I just couldn't decide what to write. So I guess I'll just combine everything in one post!

Super missed Roti Pisang that I used to eat often during my uni time but in Kuching, I find hardly find people selling Roti Canai  selling Roti Pisang. Happened to find out Rumah Hijau got and we went there but Roti Canai habis liao.
