New restaurant in town at the newest and interesting location in town. Mambo Kings at the Travilion although quite a number of people refer it to KTLD.

A lot of people recommended Mambo Kings so off I went to have lunch with my usual work-weekend pal, Lam. Or more like, I drag her along with me but she’s always a good sport to come eating with me on my food adventures during the weekend. Well, when it’s the working weekend that is. We usually try to eat at a new place during the weekends that we work. Excuse to go for a 2-hr long lunch break.

Onto the meals. Drinks always served first. Tropicana Frappe. I remember there was pineapples inside as well as some bananas. Can’t remember anything else! Woooppps! Errrm…ok, for a fruit juice drink it’s a wee bit on the high side of RM7.50 (USD1.97) which is about the same price of coffee at Coffee Bean, I think. I did enjoy it it a lot that I finished the whole drink. It was delicious! Healthy too!

Lam and I had the Prawn Noodles. Me with normal mee, her with Bee Hoon. It was tasty although not quite the same as the West Malaysian version. Something was missing but I couldn’t pinpoint what. It was generous fillings though although one has to be careful when eating this soup dish. There’s two holes by the side of the bowl that will tipped out the soup if one is not careful. How much? RM7.50 (USD1.97). Ok, don’t faint. It’s an air-conditioned restaurant so definitely more than the normal hawker prices. Still, it was a refreshing change from the normal hawker food i.e. less oily.

Chicken Mambo Salad i.e. chicken slices with fresh lettuces and raisins and walnuts with a touch of Thousand Island Dressing. RM9.00 (USD2.37).

All in all, it was a nice place to have a quiet meal. Lunch was pretty empty but dinner time is usually pack. Especially during the weekends, I’m sure. And that was my lunch today. Next week, another lunch spot elsewhere.

Although I can’t remember where did I take this picture. It was somewhere in Kuching last year but just can’t remember.

Deep Fried Wantan in an artistic style with some chilli sauce by the side.

As for the neighbour, fire is down. Had to wear a mask throughout the night which I took after once it’s bedtime.

Why didn’t I go and ask the neighbour politely to douse his fire? Well, for Granny.

Granny : Shhh!! Don’t start war over this lah!

Doh. The politics in a neighbourhood.

Other than that, making a huge effort to lose weight. Being doing some Pilates at home for the past 10 days and the stomach size is going down. Yay! Downside is that the stomach muscle is aching everytime I eat.

Because I’m too angry at my stupid neighbour.

They’re burning some earth tonight and it’s stinking out the whole house. They’re so selfish that they even went and put some cooking oil and then laid another layer of earth over it so now it’s smothering.

PLUS they did not even burn it inside their house but rather nearer to ours, outside our compound.

And this is how things are like in Malaysia. Don’t think that all Malaysians are courteous. Being courteous to tourists doesn’t mean that they are courteous to each other. I’m too irritated to write at the moment.

Too dizzy at the moment to blog. I’m going to try and sleep, if I can in this bloody humid smog.

And guess what? They’re not even at home to smell the smog.

Phew! Finally got it done.

A link to a list of restaurants found in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia is up with contact numbers and details of what they serve. Apologies that it’s not quite complete. The link is :

http://www.mum-mum.info/addresses.html

The entire filesize is only 13 kb so the cost of viewing it by handphone with GPRS service is very cheap. I’m also trying to add maps into that link but it may take awhile.

Anyway, enjoy it!

If there was ever a time I wish I was back in KL, it’s now. Got this
in my email today.

Hi all!!

Doing a quick survey to see how many of the readers read this website. Doing a major revamp to make it more accessible to people with different devices.

There are two different polls but due to the way Blogger is configured, I can’t put the actual poll here. Sorry guys. Click on the pictures below and a popup window will appear. Make sure that your pop-up blocker allows for pop-ups to appear.

Oh, and I wanted to put this calendar up but the CSS coding did something do it. Oh well. Will go through it another time.
