Korean BBQ Chicken, Kubah Ria, Kuching

Read a few positive comments online about Korean BBQ Chicken. Thus, without hesitation I bought groupon voucher worth RM60 with RM36.

After a few complications of sorting out the restaurant's operation hours and finding the exact location, finally we managed to reach the restaurant and be seated.

Our orders:

Pane Mushroom Cream Soup RM12.90
Very interesting and appealing way to serve the mushroom soup. Average taste but the crispy pane was kinda of dry. 

Korean Charboiled Meal RM17.90 with fried rice and fried calamanri
Seasoned and grilled leg marinated with special Korean style herbs

Jerk BBQ Meal with Mashed Potato & Kochi RM19.50
 Marinated whole chicken leg coated with special barbeque sauce

Earl Grey Tea RM4.90

Frankly we had a awful experience when dined in this particular restaurant. 
# 1 Everything served was rather cold, except the mushroom cream soup and Earl Grey Tea.
# 2 The Kochi illustrated in menu was a lot different with the actual Kochi served.
# 3 The service was slow, very very slow.
# 4 It's super tough to call in to the restaurant for enquiry. Perhaps you get one call answered by calling ten times.
# 5 It's very hard to communicate with the service crew, most probably they are not locals and they seemed to be catching the wrong balls all the times.
# 6 It's super disappointing and awkward when most of the thing you ordered came out to be 'finished', yet you are informed last minute and the worst is there isn't anything else you can choose, and the funny part is they just open their business of the day for few hours only on that particular day of my visit
# 7 It took quite a considerable amount of time to clear your bills. Their POS system may not be working, I guess. You can observe the cashier made a long call every time the customers pay their bills.

All in all, we are the among the unlucky one to bump into all this dreadful eating experience. I do hope the management will review their limitations and most importantly take further and necessary action. There aren't many eatery places that last, harshly speaking, even some places only manage to survive for less than two years.

Oyster King, The Gardens Mall Mid Valley City

Eventually I got to pay Oyster King a visit after several years of knowing this particular outlet. We ordered Combo Set around RM15 for two dishes. Their outlet in Gardens Mall was very occupied at that time we went there, luckily some customers left and quickly we sipped in the seats.

Lala Fried Rice

O-Chien (Fried Oyster)

Both dishes amazed us. The lala fried rice and the signature O-Chien was cooked to perfection and it really satisfied our tummy. I miss both dish now!

Overnight oatmeal


Ovenight Oatmeal
having some fun by trying out the eat clean overnight oatmeal. Doesn't really clean after all cause I added in 1 tablespoon of vanilla ice-cream and full cream milk! Yet I like the taste and it did fill my stomach well from 6.45am to 12.45pm. 6 hours in total =)

Ingredients:
# oats
# natural yogurt
# full cream milk
# breakfast cereals
# vanilla ice-cream

Directions:
1. Mix well oats, yogurt, milk and vanilla ice-cream until well combined.
2. Cover it and store overnight in chiller.
3. Add in more milk the next day and top with breakfast cereals upon serving.
4. I even try it with Horlicks powder but isn't as good as I thought it would be.

Makan Time

#1 Ik Ho Gourmet & Cafe, Ang Cheng Ho

Charcoal Sandwich, 4 pcs for RM4

Three layers, first bottom layer with cucumber pickles, middle with egg and top one with ham
kinda appetizing and great for a quick bite 

Ham & Cheese for RM2






Open daily except Sunday & Public Holiday


 #2 KL Morgan Pork Soup at Homemade Specialties, Ang Cheng Ho

Kueh Tiao Morgan Soup with poached egg RM5.50
I was amazed with the presentation of the poached egg. Very nicely done. The soup was very sweet and they claimed it as MSG free. The KL Morgan soup was also served with pork liver, minced pork meat, lean meat and garnished with three pieces of lard. A great meal to start the day.


#3 Easy Drink, Easy Go, CityOne Megamall

Something similar with Snowflakes, EDEG, CityOne in Kuching offers customized desserts with a few selections. Too bad they run out of taro balls during my visit. Although the standard is far not up to Snowflakes standard, it does satisfy my crave for desserts.


Grass Jelly as base, topped with green bean, red bean, taro and Panna Cotta Pudding RM6
love the creamy and milky panna cotta pudding

#3 Kurtos Spiroll, Pavillion


Kurtos Spiroll for display purposes
We were attracted with the spiroll as this is the first time we saw it. Upon listening to the explanation of the worker there, we bought one to try. He urged us to try Nutella Walnut.

Kurtos Spiroll


Nutella Walnut RM6.90
 somehow a type of pastry, the spiroll tasted just like a soft bread coated with chocolate and walnut generously. We love it. There are a few ways of eating the spiroll. We just teared the spiroll spirally!

Potted Plant Milk Tea RM5.90
lovely milk tea topped with cream, oreo crumbs and garnished with peppermint leaves!

Imbi Market, Pasar Baru Bukit Bintang

Imbi Market is one of the best breakfast/brunch spot in the town. It takes around 20 minutes walk from Jalan Alor, Bukit Bintang to Jalan Melati, Imbi Market. Although the environment and surrounding seems pretty grubby, but the place offers many good foods and crowded with people.

Seated in front of the famous drink stall

Coffee & Teh C, priced at RM2 each
We wanted to try the signature Hainanese Drink but we didn't know what's the name, ended up we had coffee and milk tea instead =(


Sisters Crispy Popiah around RM2.20, Kaya & Butter Toast RM2 & Vermicelli with Ginger & Wine Soup RM8
Super love the ginger & wine vermicelli soup. The wine soup tastes so heavenly good and alike with mum homecook style, with generous portion of  fried ginger, fried eggs and pork meat. Why Kuching doesn't sell ginger and wine vermicelli soup?

This Kaya & Butter Toast is so yummy. Best toast so far I guess! Can I have some now?

Grabbed some pastries from the infamous Bunn Choon Stalls

Sesame Charcoal Tart RM1.80, Almond Tart & Century Egg Pie

Our favourite Century Egg inside the pastry! The sesame charcoal tart is good too.

We went there once again for second visit on the last day of the trip.

This time we manage to try Ah Weng Kor Famous Hainanese Tea. A special mix of coffee and tea. Very kao! Just a little too sweet for my taste buds. We also tried Chee Cheong Fun. You can pick and choose any piece of yong tau hu you like and I have it mine customized at RM6.80. Tried the round bun with kaya and butter but still the toast is still my top favourite after all!


Queue up to grab some pastries to bring back.


The top picks of the stalls
Luckily managed to grab one box of 6 after long queue and few complications! Sweat!

Less demanding pastries!

Certainly a great place for a lovely breakfast!
