if u ever go there, please... do try all these mouthwatering dishes kuching has to offer :) i went eating frenzy wen we were there. it was crazy for me & i'm not even a jalan2 cari makan person!
we had an early flight so we had bfast at our fav fast food, non other than mcD. ahmad nani dh biasa having bfast b4 going to sch, so he was starving that morning.
hot cakes for him, sushi for me. bought it @ sushi-to-go kiosk. not so fresh but boleh la...
we went to spore chicken rice for our lunch. if u get info fr wikitravel, scr is listed in one o the recommended places to go for dining experience
it was fried yee mee wit seafood for ahmad nani
& fried talapia in thai sauce for me. ya allah, sedapnye la pulak... can tiru msk at home!
nxt we went to aroma cafe for afternoon tea break. tis cafe was once featured in jalan2 cari makan & ahmad nani was so excited wen he sawjln2 cari makan momento hung on the wall ;)
we had laksa sarawak. sedap but i'm no laksa enthusiast
tis is manok pansoh. tho my fren said it wasnt authentic enuf coz the dish is supposed to be served in bamboo, but i liked it very very much. the taste is so unlike our food in semenanjung. it looks a bit like msk lemak, doesnt it? but it's not msk lemak, in fact it doesnt contain coconut milk at all. & the green leaf is pucuk ubi. it came in such a huge bowl that i had to pack the leftover home. it was eaten wit plain rice. sgt sgt sgt sedap!
& ahmad nani had tis. toast wit honey. & he had 2 servings! haish bdk ni mmg suke sgt watever sweet.
my fren had tis. fried kueh tiaw. pon sedap!
the nxt day we refuel by feasting on hotel bfast buffet. pagi2 they served lamb curry that i had wit rice porridge.
& they had the softest croissants i had ever had! & nope. i'm not exaggerating. theirs were soft & fluffy & like really soft.
we didnt have dinner outside the 1st nite. so 2nd nite was like balas dendam meal lah for us. hah even ahmad nani ate a plateful o rice that nite! we went to the most famous food court in kuching - topspot. they say if u go to kuching & u dont eat here, that means u havent had a true kuching experience yet. & that could be true ;)
look at those fresh, gigantic tiger prawns!
all sorts o fish.
we had buttered prawns, grilled chilly squids, midin (sarawak's version o pucuk paku, but only available in east msia according to my fren), ambal curry (i'm not sure wat's it called here) & sayur campur. i wanted to have crab but ahmad nani refused to, he was a bit scared seeing crabs bigger than both o his hands combined! ;p
the nxt day we went to have afternoon tea at aroma cafe (again!).
& i tried tis: air samboi. OMG! it was truly refreshing & having it on a hot day was just heavenly ;)
i had fried mee kolok wit lotsa veggies, fish cakes & prawns. sedap!
dinner that nite was at the restaurant of my fren's auntie, wit my fren's family. it was a big dinner!
that's sup gamat in the bowl. i finished 2 bowls!
butter prawns!
midin
ambal
steamed siakap
umai - a must try if u're there. it's like kerabu wit chunks o fish. not sure if it can only use 1 type o fish as its ingredients or it can be made o any fish. pedas, tp sedap :D
so that was the highlight o wat we had in kuching.
& we were back to eating mcD once we touched down @ lcct ;p
meleh air liur aku...kuching is forever my fave holiday spot! glad u tried the ambal and midin. actuallt midin is unopened pucuk paku...they do sell here in semenanjung but susah nak jumpa la.. rindunya kuching!!!!!

ReplyDeleteyana --> yup, mmg umai ni mcm kerabu tp rs x sama. i'm not sure whether it was raw fish ke cooked fih, tp looking at the colour, mcm raw fish. sedap... pedas & masam sikit la...
