: : TopSpot … Again! : :

A popular place for seafood. Can’t help it if TopSpot is the easiest place to go and eat seafood : no hassle for parking space, food is cheap and no need to queue for a table. Sometimes, it does occasionally get a bit hot when it’s not windy but it’s not too bad. Plus, the place is clean. And, as usual, ate at Stall 25.

Always a popular choice : oyster omelette. Can’t help it. We’re all addicted to it’s taste as well as crunchy-ness. Crunchy? Oh yes. It’s a different version from those found in Singapore and West Malaysia but just as tasty.

This version of butter prawns were superb! They added in some chilli powder and it came out just right. Wah!

The mixed vegetable dish. Very fresh and crunchy. Nice. Simple. Tasty. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDD. Not to mention extremely healthy.

Black pepper crab but this time, it came out extremely well. Pepper is grown in Sarawak so this dish wasn’t too expensive. Plus, the crab was extremely fresh that nite. Meat was tender and juicy. Took a long time to finish it but it was worth it. In Kuching, one can find fresh crab every day and very cheap too!

How much? Less than RM100. Think it was RM60-RM80. Definitely cheaper than Klang.

: : Granny Talk : :

When I got back home from work.

Granny : Haiya! Your AH Tin Ku-ku ah. Spend whole afternoon on your computer lah!

Granny : He bring up tea and WHOLE BOTTLE of cashew nut lah! Goodness me!

Granny is a ham.

: : Sunny Hill ~ ICE-CREAM : :

One of man’s tastiest invention was the ice-cream. PLUS! I haven’t had soft ice-cream in ages. I dislike the one at MacDonald except when mixed with Oreo’s which neutralizes the taste. So, last Sunday nite after dinner with Min Yen, Lesley and Jackson, the three gals went off to look for some dessert while Jackson went back home.

We went to an old ice-cream parlour (if one can call it that) around the corner at 3rd mile. The entire location is called Sunny Hill and the parlour is part of the school canteen. It’s been there for ages, since my parents’ time back in the 50s. Quite a lot of people do go there to taste the delicious ice-cream although it’s not as good as it used to be.

The secret to great ice-cream : milk powder. It’s not as rich as Haagen Daaz but definitely better tasting than Walls, King’s and Nestle ice-cream. So far, I could not taste any preservative in the ice-cream but I could be wrong.

As it was Sunday night, the flavour of the day was chocolate. The cone is RM1 and the sundae was RM2. Cheap, no? Each day is a different flavour, with Thursday’s flavour being pandan. Must try that one out one day.

Opening hours stated above. The ice-cream parlour is located along the road to Batu Kawah and is very near the 3rd mile roundabout. It’s just next to the Sunny Hill School.

: : Coffee Bean : :

Well, after the Red Bubble Tea House, Min Yen and I then went to Sarawak Plaza. Browsing through Belle’s Bookstore, Memory Lane and the toy store, I persuade her to come with me and have a drink at Coffee Bean. It just opened a few months ago so wanted to check it out.

So we walked in and placed our order. Paid for the coffee and snack, giving them my name to label the cup. Went to sit down. Then it was chit chat chit chat until the order came.

Suddenly, a shriek was heard throughout the area :

Waiter : Weeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnaaaaaaaa!!!

Doh! All the people in the cafe turned their heads around to see who it was. Talk about embarrassing.

I ordered the Original Ice-Blended Mocha drink with a slice of apple pie. Mind you, the coffee was RM9 and compared to Coffee Master, it is pricey. Well, since I do not often go to Coffee Bean, thought it was okay to spend a little bit.

Notice the spelling mistake?

Anyway, that was the trip down to Coffee Bean at the Boulevard in front of Sarawak Plaza. Their website is has not been updated with the address.

: : Red Bubble Tea House : :

…or was it Red Tea House? Can’t remember. Went here last Sunday after checking out some digital camera prices.

I actually wanted to have some soft ice-cream ice-cream but they didn’t have any except for yam flavour. So, decided to try something else instead.

A small scoop of honeydew flavoured ice-cream. Although not homemade (the honeydew taste was a little bit too much and not subtle), it wasn’t too bad either. I still finished it.

Min Yen had the green tea version but on a cone. She’s extremely camera shy. The ice-cream? Errr… could taste the tea but not GREEN tea. Oh well. Still, it was a nice flavour.

Anyone for Love Oranges? Leftover from Valentine’s day. Hmmm…

The Red Bubble Tea House is next to the MAS Office and Reliace Travel Agency in Kuching.

Yeah yeah, I know I should be updated the addresses and various postings in this blog but been a bit lazy lately. Everything is done manually as still cannot use MT until my cousin tells me where is the PERL located on his server. Ah well. Other option is to move to another account but would then have to pay. So, we’ll see how it goes.
