: : Hot Seat : :
Last nite, a few of us went to eat at this new eatery called Hot Seat in Pandungan. Hot Seat? Spicy? Full of chillis? Well, some of the the dishes. Not all but what we had tasted pretty good. We were so full at the end of it. 5 of us went to get stuffed and we were so stuffed we couldn’t move.
Min Yen : Hey! Looks like pickled onions!
Cheh! This gal ah… so cheeky lah! Actually, they were longan fruit (or longan nuts if you were in the USA) with water added to it as well as the syrup from the can to sweetened it. Very refreshing and cooling drink.
This is the ikan bakar @ BBQ fish with spicy sambal (chilli paste) and lime. The fish used is fresh dorian fish and it was tasty and juicy as well. Flesh was firm and not tough. Definitely very fresh and tasty. We whacked the whole thing i.e. nothing was left on the plate that was edible, even the sambal!
Of course there must be chips. Not french fries but chippy chips, Brit-style. Plenty of salt (yeah, we were gluttons for high blood pressure) to go with it and very nice.
Again, the fish was dorian fish but it was served with a very nice tasting white sauce and fried rice. The salad itself was very fresh and sweet. Not the usual bland stuff. Entire dish was polished off completely. By the way, we all had a little communal dinner where we shared food amongst the group. It helps to ease the cravings for other people’s food.
I had the Devois Lamb with this nice sauce over it. Not sure what was the sauce but it was very very tasty and yummy and delicious and mouthwatering and… and… went very well with the chips! The lamb portion was huge! Definitely needed to share it out with everyone else!
The name of this salad was Waldorf Salad. There were apples, pears (I think), celery and some pieces of grapes with mayonnaise sitting on a bed of lettuce. First time I had this salad and I was addicted immediately. Needless to say we polished off everything, leaving the empty plate shining away.
The roti telur @ egg bread which was one of the best we’ve ever eaten in Kuching. All of us have eaten the mamak rotis and it’s very hard to find a decent roti canai (a type of indian bread) in Sarawak. The curry was very spicy and very tasty.
Chris : Do you pak-pak (clapping her hand soundlessly) the roti?
Waitress : Yep.
Chris : Ok! I want one! Must pak-pak one!
Haha! We had a good laugh at this. Most people who cook roti canai in Kuching don’t smash the roti together to loosen it but seems like this place did. So, Chris was very happy with her meal, eating away the spicy curry when she couldn’t quite take it! (Chris : Aiya! U ah!)
By the time we finished everything, we could barely walk! We will definitely be going there again for food because the food were very reasonable. With all the food we had there as well as drinks for everyone, it came up to RM62.50. They served an excellent choice of Asian food as well as Western meals as well.
Hot Seat is located directly in front of Everrise Supermarket in Pandungan. You can’t miss the sign or the banner advertising for Malay food. BTW, the chef is a Muslim and also used to work for Holiday Inn. So, it’s good to get a nice meal but at lower costs. Sandy T (the woman rushing the entire show and quite well too) is there to supervise daily. Hot Seat Cafe caters for private functions as well so feel free to order something from them or just have a nice place to eat.
