It sure was a very long mid-year break, starting from the 25th of May right through the Gawai Festival and Hari Raya Aidilfitri until yesterday, the 24th instant.
We only had a few days left and we had not been here because it was closed for the Gawai Festival – all their employees here are ethnic Dayaks so all of them would have gone home then for the celebration. It did reopen after a week or so but somehow or other, we did not stop by until last Friday. I think my girl did suggest going there once but it was a Monday and they were closed – they have their weekly off day every Monday.
I noticed the reduced prices on their menu…
…now that there is no GST in the country and I must say that it is really good of them to take the initiative to do that so customers will know exactly how much less they are paying now.
It was a blistering hot day but no, I did not have that coconut cendol special. Instead, I asked for their ngor bee th’ng or bubur buang panas in Malay (RM3.30)…
…and yes, it sure was nice…
…and refreshing.
I also ordered one of our favourites here, their sotong kangkong, large (RM9.50)…
…to share…
…and needless to say, we had THE thing that we went there for, their Sarawak/Kuching laksa (RM5.70)…
Others may have their personal favourites elsewhere but to the three of us, this…
…is our No. 1 pick among all that we have in town as we feel it is closest to those good ones in Kuching and of course, we enjoyed it to the max.
I guess we did manage to get to enjoy most, if not all, of my girl’s favourites during the break before we sent her back to her school in the jungle.
