Post Christmas in Kuching - Binging Time

it would be a sin if you return to your hometown and not binge. well, by my books it is. the following food posts are the in-between-Christmas (after my Damai Beach Getaway)-and-New Year Eve.. so around 28-30 Dec..

Day 1

char kueh tiaw, roti canai, indian rojak (not easy to find in Kuching) at Eastmoore (only cause its near) and chocolate ice cream smoothie at the food court at tHe Spring.

we decided to try the famous Fried Chicken rice at Aladin cafe at Carpenter Street.. never been there, apparently they sell different types of chicken rice for lunch and dinner. the staff there do dress like Aladdin with the funny hair and baggy pants.

there was some performances at the nearby temple.. i think there must be some occasion for the Buddhists.

the crispy chicken rice.. supposely can compete with KFC. the flour coating is thin and crispy, but its different from KFC so i don't think they are comparable.

we watched the Chipmunks at tHe Spring that night and camwhore with the Christmas decorations, and had KFC supper after that coz it opens late.

Day 2

breakfast with laksa, kolo mee using green noodles and pulut panggang at Chong Choon Cafe.. some ppl like the big portion home-made green noodles here but i prefer the bak chang and pulut panggang

lunch was at Pinoy Fiesta haw-haw, a Philippines Grill and Restaurant at Padungan

as far as i know, Filipino food is famous for roast pork leg, suckling pig, pork burger.. and more pork pork pork...

we had the rm36 medium Crispy Pata or Crispy pork leg, which was Yummies! we had the pumpkin special as well, which is vegetables (pumpkin, long beans) cooked in a coconut-milk broth served in a pumpkin. dessert was their version of ABC called halo-halo... interesting..

thanks for the lunch feast

that day was Definitely an Overdose of pork coz i went to Porkie's for dinner! pork sausages, lamb cutlets, chicken wings.. *burps*

a small reunion of ex-schoolmates way back to primary school days.. spent the night talking about what happened in primary school!

Day 3

famous kolo mee at Green Road for breakfast.. i don't remember the name of the stall, but its the only stall and the food took 30mins to come.. tastes a bit sweetish.

treated some colleagues for lunch at Secret Recipe, Jalan Song

thai fried rice that comes with a mini lobster, a slice each of white macadamia cake and almond cake.. its really hard to choose which cake to try..

the new Lof Bakery (new to me cause i've not been) has lots of interesting cakes & buns

that night we decided to try the new Chubby Baba Nyonya restaurant at Jalan Setia Raja next to the western My Restaurant.. it opens for lunch and dinner.

the menu.. hard to decide coz they have quite a few interesting dishes that's not common here in kuching like the nyonya pork leg gula apong, assam buah keluak chicken, nyonya ngo hiang, nyonya deep fried cincalok chicken, babi pongteh, kacangma and nyonya rendang lamb.. (basically food u learn from 'The Little Nyonya' series)

decided on the chicken and babi pongteh.. not bad and the helping of vegetables (paku) was reasonable. too bad the nyonya kuih already finished as we would want to try those blue pulut rice kuih! perhaps next time!
