: : The Junk : :
It’s been awhile since I’ve met up with cousin Yen. So, when his brother asked whether I wanted to meet up with him, I agreed. We met up at The Junk Restaurant on Saturday night for a nice meal at very very reasonable prices. Also, was interesting in hearing Yen giving his views and comments on the food. This cousin of mine is a great gourmet chef and I do GOURMET.
To start off the dinner, we all had an appetizer. The soup of the day was cream of broccoli. Yen ordered this, hoping that it will be accompanied with plain bread. Instead it came with garlic bread.
Ming, Yen’s bro, had the mushroom salad. Wow! Seriously big and mighty. He had helped from his gf, Hui Ling.
Two nights in a row, I’ve been having crab. This time, it was a tempura crab salad with 3 soft shell crabs. Had to share this with Hui Ling. It was just too big an appetizer for one person.
The salmon steak in terriyaki sauce was delicious. This is what I always have at The Junk. Else, I’d be eating pasta. Anyway, the portions are always huge and worth every penny.
Ming had the rack of lamb in creamy sauce. Looks mighty tempting to me. I just love cream and it’s pretty hard to get good cream down here in Kuching. Sigh. I miss having double cream with mince pies during Christmas. Lolly, please bring some back to Miri!!!
Yen decided to try the lamb shank that Hui Ling mentioned was pretty good. Huge portion, with or without the leg bone. Underneath the lamb is a bed of homemade mash potatoes. None of the quick-mix type.
Hui Ling had some fettucine cooked in cream sauce. Temptation temptation temptation. 🙂 Will try that the next time I’m there.
Some pictures of the restaurant. Aptly named, you’ll one loads and loads of old stuff in this restaurant. There is a miniature Vespa scooter, old school tables, pictures, meat holders found in old old chinese shops, cash register and high court judge chair! This place is definitely a haven for interior designers. Everything on show is arranged by the couple that owns the restaurant. Note that it’s also a restaurant that does not serve pork. Halal? Think so but am not sure. Can always call to confirm. I do now that some of my Malay collegues at work do frequent this place.
