We went back here for lunch yesterday because we heard there were a couple of nice things on their menu that we should go and try.
One of them was their burger (RM32.00)…
…for which there was a choice between fish, chicken and pork. Beef was on the list too but they cancelled it.
In the end, we settled for the pork…
…which was very good but it was served last and we were already very full by then so I guess that affected the enjoyment somewhat. Besides, to me, a burger is a burger – I wouldn’t say that it got me all excited.
So what else did we have earlier? There was this mushroom soup (RM15.00)…
…which was good as well and we loved the very nice crockery they used to serve it in. That sure was different from how they do it elsewhere.
The baked cheese rice, chicken & mushroom (RM23.00)…
…was very good too but it came across like some nicely-done, wok hei and all, Chinese fried rice topped with all that cheese plus chunks of chicken and mushroom and put in the oven to bake.
What stole the show was their barbecued pork ribs (RM45.00)…
It was absolutely awesome, bursting with flavours and done to perfection, so very nice & tender…
We had two glasses of iced honey lemon (RM7.00 each) and one watermelon juice (RM10.00) and the total came up to RM139.00 (RM147.35 with the 6% service tax), a little cheaper than the lunch we had here the other day.
I quite like the place, very spacious with its classy decor. There seems to be two sections and one is more Chinese, probably because they do have a wide selection of nice Chinese dishes on their menu as well. Service was prompt and efficient and with the light relaxing instrumental music, it sure has the perfect setting for fine dining. We certainly would not mind coming back again sometimes.
THE BLUE DOOR DINE & WINE (2.291959, 111.819462)…
…is now located at No. 83, Jalan Lau King Howe, right below The Win Hotel, across the road from the Waterfront Residences or the Sibu Twin Towers.
Ever since I saw their fish tail banners hanging from the street lamps all over town and the gigantic picture of the gorgeous roast duck in them beckoning to me, I was waiting for the place to open so I could go and give it a try.
From the name, I found out that it is an Ipoh franchise so I did not get my hopes up high – we already have a couple of Ipoh franchises here and let’s say they have been somewhat disappointing. I shared the post on Facebook and my friend, Annie, in KL said it is very famous/a favourite in Ipoh. Hmmm…that sounded promising!
Well, it had its soft opening yesterday, 31st May, so we made our way there at 10.00 a.m., the instant it opened its doors. Today is Gawai Dayak, a public holiday and with the long weekend ahead (holidays will stretch till Monday), I was afraid that there would be a lot of people flocking there, long queues by the entrance (they have placed some chairs there) in the scorching heat we are experiencing these days. Besides, it’s the early bird that catches the worm, so they say!
They’ve renovated the place – formerly, they had this here and later, they changed the concept to this. It is a bit bigger – I think they extended it to include the space outside on the right and I must say that it is very simple, not much decor to shout about or at least, not like what it was like before or at some places around town. I guess they mean business – it is all about the food (and service), no need for all those distractions.
A very nice and friendly waiter came to show us the menu – yes, they have the regular physical menus, none of that scan-the-QR-code nonsense…and he was very friendly, very knowledgeable of everything they are serving and very proficient in English. I was beginning to like the place already…a lot!
We asked for the Grand Platter, small (RM68.00)…
…so we could hit three birds with one stone. We were there to try as much as we could and with this order, we had the very nice and tender signature roast duck and the gorgeous char siew (barbecued pork), so moist, so juicy…
…and on the other side, there was the siew yoke (roast pork)…
…that the ladies voted as their No. 1! It tasted really great and the skin was absolutely perfect, so nice and crispy.
These came with the platter…
– the usual chicken rice chili dip, the sour plum sauce and another one that looked like ginger or something. I did have the chili with the Hainanese rice (RM2.20)…
…but not with the meat – when they taste so good, I would want to savour and enjoy them without drowning them in all these sauces. The rice was all right, nicer than a lot around town but no, it will take a lot more than this to get me jumping with excitement.
My missus does not eat duck so I asked for their roasted chicken, lower quarter (RM15.00)…
…for her and at the same time, we were able to try that as well and these dips…
…came with it.
We did not want the vegetable of the day – lettuce but I did see it ordered by some customers at another table. It did not look like much, quite typical of vegetables served at chicken rice places, blanched and served with oyster sauce. Usually, it is that or taugeh (bean sprouts) fried with salted fish.
We agreed to try their soup of the day though – the pumpkin soup (RM5.00) and yes, it was very good. It tasted like some herbal soup but there wasn’t any pumpkin inside, just pork that was so well-simmered, fall-off-the-bone tender…
We never cooked pumpkin like this at home – if it’s a soup, it will be like those rich and creamy ones served at the western eateries. Perhaps we’ll give this a try one of these days.
I must say on the whole, the service was excellent, very polite and cordial and very prompt – there were quite a lot of people, almost but not full, and despite that, we did not have to wait very long. I did notice a whole lot of packed lunches all lined up on the counter waiting for the delivery people to come and take them away and a number of customers sitting on the chairs outside (initially, I thought they were in the queue) waiting for their tapao (takeaway) orders.
There was only one cashier so there was a queue there when I went to pay for our most delightful brunch but it did not matter though as the young guy was very efficient and everything went smoothly and he could speak English fluently too!!! The total altogether came up to RM112.30 (inclusive of our drinks) and yes, they do accept credit cards here.
Everyone was wondering all this while as to who bought the Ipoh franchise to run this place here. I googled and found a whole lot of outlets in Ipoh and one in Subang or somewhere and now, there is this one here in Sibu. Well, this was on the serviette provided and it turned out that the people with this chain of cafés and restaurants…
…around town are the ones behind it. No wonder I saw some of them promoting this place quite aggressively on Facebook.
We certainly got off on a good start – this place opens from 10.00 a.m. till 9.00 p.m. daily (no off day) and rest assured that I will be going back again soon to try whatever else they may have on their menu that we have not tried yet, like their pipa duck, for instance.
SUN YEONG WAI 新揚威 – Sibu 诗巫 (2.302891, 111.842997)…
…is located at Wisma Liberty, Lot 4047, Block 3, STD 15, Lorong Dr Wong Soon Kai 7.
Yes, I have recovered somewhat and I am well enough to go back to church. That was why I was there last Saturday evening for the weekly novena and the sunset service at our regular church here.
The weather was scorching hot still these days so after we were done past 8.00 p.m., I was thinking of dropping by some place air-conditioned for our very late dinner/supper. I was delighted to see that except for one table, this place was quite empty so we went in quickly and promptly placed our orders.
I had their venison on a hot plate…
…in mind as I knew my girl would love that. It was very good and both the ladies sang their praises of the dish.
I did not know what else to order and the boss suggested their braised mui choy (preserved vegetable) pork belly…
…something we never had before here. Gosh! That certainly was so good it swept us all off our feet. Obviously the meat had been stewed for a long time and was fall-off-the-bone tender and the thick gravy was bursting with flavours. I would want to order that again the next time we drop by here.
My girl wanted the Four Heavenly Kings…
…but they were out of long beans so we only had three – ladies’ fingers, baby corn and my girl’s favourite, brinjal!
The tofu salted vegetable soup…
…was very good too, very strong on the fragrance of the latter. I sure enjoyed that very much.
The bill for the food came up to RM74.00 only, very cheap by today’s standard, I must say but anyway, considering how we enjoyed all the dishes that night, we sure would be back again soon.
I did ask the boss why it was rather quiet and he said that it was getting late – everyone had had their dinner and had gone home. We had made it just in time – it seems that they close at 9.00 p.m. these days, not 10.00 p.m. like before. Gosh! We would have to rush over quickly if we want to have our dinner here after the church service then. The boss did say that it would be all right as long as we could make it before 9.00 p.m. They would not mind staying a little bit longer for our sake, regular customers.
RUBY RESTAURANT…
…is located at No. 71, Jalan Kampung Nyabor right next to HOME COOK CORNER (2.292756, 111.825335) with the AmBank Tunku Osman branch in the very next block.
Of course when they asked me, I did not mince my words – whatever fish it was, I found it a bit bland, quite tasteless and I was thinking that perhaps they should add a little bit of seasoning, some salt or something. Even the texture was different. They said they did not know the variety their supplier sent them this time. That is very bad! I would change supplier if I were them. True blue fish connoisseurs enjoy very good fish on their own, no need for seasoning, no need for tartar sauce or mayonnaise. Otherwise, one might as well go for the cheap frozen fish fillets at the supermarkets…or dory! Duh!!! Next time, I shall have to ask what fish they are using before ordering!!!
Anyway, we did not drop by for lunch that day for the fish and chips. We heard from my sister who heard it from a friend that their grilled pork chop (RM32.00)…
…was very nice so we wanted to give it a try. I ordered that to share…despite the price tag but it was well worth it. They were very generous with the servings – two huge perfectly-grilled, very tender slabs with green salad and potato salad by the side and the sauce that came with it was so so good, a little spicy but we loved it! It was just RM4.00 more than the disappointing fish and chips – I most certainly would go for this next time if they are not too sure the fish they have been supplied with is really good or not.
I saw their photo of their pumpkin soup (RM15.00)…
…which was not on the menu, on Facebook – they only had mushroom soup (which was good, the last time we had that). I asked the waitress and she confirmed it was available so we decided to give it a try. I would say it was nice but my missus can do a lot better, thicker and richer. This was somewhat diluted and given a choice, I would stick to their mushroom…
I had ordered the three aforementioned dishes to share but my girl said she wanted to try their spaghetti (spelt wrongly on their menu) bolognese (RM25.00)…
…so she had that as well. They had their own bolognese sauce, not anything from the bottle or packet that would be more like tomato ketchup. My girl said that it was the same sauce they had for the lasagna that she had twice before…
…just that they had spaghetti in this one instead of the lasagna sheets.
I guess my missus did not hear that we would be sharing my orders and seeing that my girl has ordered something for herself, she wanted her own fish and chips as well. Of course, we could not finish – there was about half left of each order so we asked for that to be packed for us to take home.
The ladies had iced fresh watermelon juice (RM8.00) while I asked for this cup of lemon/lime (RM8.00)…
It was VERY sour and bitter too as they blended the skin together – I read somewhere that this is very good for health so I obediently finished the whole cup. LOL!!!
That was a pleasant and delightful enough lunch, give and take a bit here and there but the total came up to a whooping RM152.00. Ah well! As long as we enjoyed ourselves, I guess that was all that mattered!
LONDON CAFE & BISTRO (2.257899, 111.844136)…
…is located at No. 36, Lorong Pulau Li Hua 2 among the shops to your right after the bridge just before you reach the security check point.
My girl and the mum wanted to drop by here for their late dinner/supper last Saturday night but the place was full. They ended up at this place just around the corner – it was rather packed as well but thankfully, the place is big so there were some tables available for the two of them.
The mum had the rosemary grilled chicken (RM23.00)…
…which was very good but my girl insisted that her creamy garlic & mushroom chicken (RM38.00)…
…with its whooping price tag was very much nicer. Do excuse the colour of the snapshots – the lighting at that place obviously does not allow for good photography at night but yes, the grilled chicken did look kind of dry.
They served the fries separately here…
– my girl loves these chunky ones, anytime better than those shoestring fries.
No, dinner did not come cheap – this place is definitely not known for that. With their drinks, watermelon juice (RM10.00 a glass) and 6% service tax, the total came up to RM91.15. Never mind! Plenty more where that came from! Teachers are so well-paid these days unlike the crumbs that fell off the table during my time. Sobsss!!!
THE BLUE DOOR DINE & WINE (2.291959, 111.819462)…
…is now located at No. 83, Jalan Lau King Howe, right below The Win Hotel, across the road from the Waterfront Residences or the Sibu Twin Towers.
I did drop by once to give it a try but no, I never went back again…not that I did not like what I ate there but I guess I wasn’t used to eating in enclosed spaces (I sat outside that one time I went there) though I don’t think I have some kind of claustrophobia, not at all.
We do have a few Japanese places here in town, local as well as three franchises but I am afraid I am not all that impressed by them. After going a number of times, you end up ordering the same old things on their menu so it gets kind of boring. Besides, I also find that there is a dire need for quality control – they were really good at the start, very very impressive but soon, the slips began to show and the number of customers started to dwindle.
Well, the other day, I asked my girl if she wanted to go this particular Japanese joint to give it a try. If it had managed to survive THIS long, there has got to be something good there that keeps people going back for more and since she was keen, we were on our way. Much to our surprise, there were quite a lot of people there for lunch – perhaps, it was a Sunday, I wouldn’t know.
One problem that we encountered was everything in their order slip was in romanised Japanese. Thankfully, between the two of us, we knew enough to know what some of the things were and managed to place our orders successfully starting with two choices of sushi – their avocado prawn maki (RM15.00)…
…and their chicken teriyaki maki (RM9.60)…
…both of which were very good and to our liking.
Ah yes, another problem was there was no indication in the order slip how many pieces we would be getting but we just went ahead and took our chances anyway.
My missus loves those inaris in their tofu/bean skin bags so I asked for their egg mayo (RM4.40) and their tuna mayo (RM4.40)…
…and got only two each. Both were good.
I ordered these soft shell crabs (RM22.80)…
…for the ladies to enjoy. Owing to my recent skin affliction, I am still staying away from these crustaceans that may trigger an allergy attack and keep me awake all night. Ah yes! Another problem was there were no indications of the prices on their order slips so you would not get to hear the cash register bell ringing away as you tick item by item in that piece of paper.
My girl loves those Japanese miso soups so I ordered this one with clams (RM10.80)…
…for her to enjoy. Yup, no clams for me either but I did sample a bit of the soup to see if it was any good. It turned out to be more or less like any regular miso soup elsewhere, despite the difference in colour, nice but no, it did not manage to win me over.
Everyone agreed that the yakitori (RM9.80)…
…was very well-done. We all enjoyed it, a stick each and the chawanmushi (RM5.80)…
…was perfectly steamed too!
To make sure we had enough to eat and would not go home hungry, I requested for a bowl of ramen, their chicken shoyu (RM17.80)…
…was very nice and I loved the almost-clear soup, unlike the thick and murky, rich broth of the bowl I had at another place not too long ago – I did not like that one, I’m afraid. There were a whole lot of ingredients in that bowl of wholesome goodness, including half an onsen egg.
The ladies shared the beef, the niku shoyu ramen (RM19.80)…
…which tasted exactly the same – the same soup base. I was hoping that it would have the gu bak mee (beef noodles) soup taste but there was none.
This place does not accept credit cards but it does not matter much to me as I always make sure I carry enough cash around. Frankly, we simply ordered not knowing how much the total would add up to – including the three glasses of iced green tea (RM7.50), it came up to only RM128.30. I must say I was pleasantly surprised as we had ordered quite a lot and I expected it to be a lot more than that.
Yes, we had a delightful lunch that day and looking at how things turned out, we certainly would want to go back there again…soon.
HITOKUCHI JAPANESE RESTAURANT is located on the ground floor of the container shops (2.324531, 111.853105) at No 4A & 4B, Jalan Ling Kai Cheng 12A, between what was formerly the Giant Hypermart (Swan Square) and SMK Bandar Sibu.
Looking back at my old blogpost, the last time I was here was in the middle of 2018 but for the same reason – I was craving for the awesome roast lamb….
Of course, we ordered that, their paku santan (wild jungle fern with coconut milk), one of their signature dishes (RM15.00)…
I dare say that here in Sibu, they do it best – nobody can hold a candle to theirs!
I looked around the place – it looked like nothing had changed at all. The (fake) flowers…
…on the counter were faded/discoloured and covered with dust (even though they seemed all right in the photograph) and I do think they should replace the very old menus…
…instead of desperately trying to salvage them using cellophane tape. Thankfully though, they had stuck to these physical menus instead of resorting to that scan-the-QR-code nonsense at those supposedly more canggih places.
The pictures and decor were minimal, not that anybody would notice and yes, the place was still carpetted…which isn’t very usual for a restaurant! They might have done a thorough spring cleaning though and that prompted my missus to comment that she could not detect the unpleasant moist/damp smell that used to put us off everytime we came here.
Yes, I did mention this before – that they should get rid of the ancient window unit air conditioners and buy some new power-saving ones. That would help them save a bundle on the electricity plus the place would be a whole lot cooler. It was always hot in here, never mind how many fans they placed at strategic places all over the restaurant…and at long last, that was what they did! I saw a few new ones here and there all over the place!
I must say that I liked how they had fine table linen (table cloth) covering all their tables, giving it a touch of class and they used ceramic crockery, no less…
This was their very nice sea cucumber soup (RM24.00) that tasted like sharks’ fins soup minus the offensive stuff and their rice (RM3.00 a bowl). Yes, I felt the pinch when I saw the latter in the bill but I thought it was very nice, most likely that highland Bario rice from the mountains of Sarawak.
I never noticed this here before but it seemed that now, they would fold the paper serviette for the fork and spoon…
The aforementioned old boss was assisted by his equally old wife and there was an even older lady helping them with the serving and what not. I was wondering how they would be able to cope when they had a full house – there was just one table that afternoon, us…and things were a bit slow but it was fine by us. We were not in a hurry to go anywhere.
I also ordered the umai, the Melanau sashimi or raw fish (RM20.00) and it turned out that they used the black pomfret (ikan bawal hitam/or chio)…
…and it was very very good, anytime a whole lot nicer than the ones at the Malay shops and stalls where they use the cheap frozen fish fillet from the supermarkets and vinegar instead of calamansi lime juice!
My missus asked for their cuttlefish with dried chili (RM20.00)…
…something we had never tried before and yes, it was very good too.
Of course, the star of the show was the roast lamb (RM46.00)…
…served with their lovely mint sauce and chopped garlic and what not, the main reason why we decided to drop by there that day. I was taken by surprise when it was served – the presentation on a wooden chopping board was so well done, so impressive and nicer than anything I had seen at those supposedly classier western cafés and restaurants.
We asked for two slabs of the meat only because my missus was not into lamb and that works out to around RM20.00 a slab – not that expensive, I must say, compared to the prices of those thin and not very nice lamb chops here, there and everywhere. This was so very good – so tender, so juicy, so succulent, so very nicely done, a perfect 10! I was so tempted to order more but I am supposed to stay off red meat, doctor’s advice.
The overall total for all that we had came up to RM139.00 (inclusive of drinks), a little bit more than what I would have to fork out at the Chinese chu char (cook & fry) places these days, mainly because of the lamb but it was so worth it! We certainly would love to go back there again a lot more often now.
FISHERMAN RESTAURANT (2.287413, 111.826648)…
…telephone no. 084-316888, is located at No 4, Jalan Chew Geok Lin, the road that leads straight to the Tua Pek Kong Chinese temple in the Sibu town centre with the seven-storey pagoda.
This café was here before, previously this one, and then, it took over the place where our one-time favourite Thai restaurant was or so I heard. We did drop by a few times when the precious owners were running the place but we never went to the present one simply because the name in English was barely visible from the main road and I did not even know it was there till my girl started telling me about it.
The other day, she came home with this chai kueh aka soon kueh…
…that she had ordered from there through her colleague in school. This was the second time and the first time was a disappointment – the skin was dry and hard in parts but this time around, it was perfect, very nicely done, smooth and soft.
The filling could do with a bit of improvement though – even with the nice chili sauce provided…
…we thought it was kind of plain and at RM7.00 for 5, we felt the price was a little steep. There are nicer ones elsewhere that are a little bit cheaper.
Actually, my girl and her colleagues at school are regular customers of this café. They have to stay back at school for meetings and activities and what not in the afternoon several times a week so of course, they would not have time to go home for lunch. Why, they had so little time that they could not even go out to some place close by to eat. Luckily, this café allows them to order what they would like and will deliver their orders to them at the school thus enabling them to eat everything quickly in the limited time available in between.
Among all the rice sets available, my girl likes their nasi lemak (RM6.00)…
…which she says is pretty decent just that she wishes they can be a bit more generous with the sambal. I, for one, would frown at their fried egg – obviously they flip it over so you do not get to see the sunny side up plus the yolk is no longer runny.
Yesterday, she ordered these very impressive-looking noodles…
…from them for her lunch. I was amazed by the amount of ingredients added. Gosh!!! Unfortunately, she said it was kind of salty so she did not enjoy it. I feel that many of the Chinese eateries here tend to be a little over generous with the msg – one must make it a point to remind them not to add any or to add less in their cooking when ordering. Other than that, I do think that they need a crash course in frying eggs!
Ah well…as long as they have something to eat to tide them over till dinnertime, I guess that is all that matters. Anyone interested in ordering his or her lunch from them can call the contact number below to find out the details.
In the meantime, my girl received this pack of sui jiao (dumplings)…
…from my sister’s good friend, Connie. Of course, they went straight into the freezer for the time being – we probably would take them out over the weekend, Saturday morning, perhaps to heat up…
*nice plastic container with a touch of Japanese there*
…and enjoy slowly. She does not seem to have that much time in the morning for a decent breakfast – two half-boiled eggs and she would be on her way.
No time for breakfast, no time for lunch!!! Now, who says a teacher’s job is easy!
U-Ni Cafe 有你茶室 (2.308429, 111.846071)…
…is located at No, 54, Ground Floor, Jalan Wong Soon Kai, somewhere across the road from Starbucks Sibu and may be contacted at telephone number 016-8536951.
We just celebrated my missus’ birthday not too long ago, a special treat from our girl so we were not planning on anything elaborate come Mother’s Day. However, she insisted on having a little something instead of just letting the day pass us by. Thus, in the end, we agreed to go for a simple lunch here, our favourite Indian/Indonesian restaurant in town. After all, the next day, Monday, was a working day and we would not want to go out the night before.
We did drop by the café the previous weekend because my girl felt like having some biryani rice but the Indian chef had gone back to India (to settle his working visa and what not) during the Hari Raya break and had not come back yet. In the end, we went some place else.
Well, after one week, he had not returned. The boss said he would be back next week. We did agree beforehand that if he had not come back, we would just order from the Indonesian menu. After all, they do have some very nice dishes there too, just that they have not changed since they started their business many many years ago and as a matter of fact, some have been removed.
In the end, my girl and my sister (we invited her to join us – she’s my girl’s godmother) opted for the lamb masala biryani rice (RM27.00 each)…
The Indian chef taught his Indonesian counterpart how to cook some of the Indian dishes and we did try it once the last time he went home and yes, I would say that she could do a very good job indeed, just that she can’t manage to cook using their traditional tandoori oven so those dishes would not be available for the time being. This time around, both my girl and my sister agreed that what they had was very good too and gave their double thumbs up!
My missus stuck faithfully to her favourite from the Indonesian menu here, the ayam bakar berempah set with the urap (Indonesian kerabu, the blanched vegetables with spicy grated coconut), RM16.00…
…and the lovely grilled brinjal with peanut sauce.
I was tied between their kalio ayam or their ayam opor (RM16.00)…
…and in the end, I settled for the latter. After all, the kalio ayam…
…is some kind of Indonesian curry, though not the same as our Malaysian ones, and I felt I had had enough of those over the Hari Raya season and would like something a bit different for a change.
The ayam opor is also very nice, their version of what we call ayam korma here but richer and creamier and nicer, if you asked me, but personally, for no apparent reason, I prefer it when they served everything beside the rice by the side of the plate like this…
…instead of having it all in a bowl. Somehow, I found it more alluring that way.
So there you have it – our Mother’s Day celebration for the year. The overall total for the 4 of us came up to RM100.00, inclusive of drinks. I guess that’s generally what we would need to fork out these days when we choose to eat out.
The CAFE IND (2.290813, 111.829294)…
…is located along Laichee Lane, right behind one block of shops facing the main road (Jalan Kampung Nyabor) where the Bank Simpanan Nasional, Sibu branch is.
I cannot remember the last time we dropped by this Korean restaurant – that was so long ago, probably pre-COVID way back in 2019 and all this while, I had been wishing that I could go back there again.
No, I am not really crazy about Korean cuisine and I would not touch kim chi with a 10-foot pole but I so love their galbi tang (갈비탕), the beef short ribs soup. However, it is located on the 1st Floor and climbing up the steep stairs do not appeal to me in my present condition. That is why all this while, I never suggested going there. Besides, I’ve been advised to stay off red meat so that galbi tang (갈비탕) will have to wait for a while, I’m afraid. My girl, on her part, however, was craving for something Korean and was waiting for a chance to stop by.
Well, last Saturday evening, at long last, after the sunset service at our regular church, she and her mum made their way there.
As always, they were served the complimentary starters or banchan…
…as they would call those in Korean. These are refillable but even though we did enjoy them (in my case, SOME of them), we never did ask for more.
For the main dish, the ladies asked for the samgyeopsal (RM33.00)…
…the grilled pork belly to be enjoyed wrapped in lettuce. It sure looked good, don’t you think?
Of course my girl would ask for the dolsot bibimbap (RM22.00)…
…one of her favourites in Korean cuisine, which they tossed and mixed everything together…
…before diving in.
My girl loves these dumplings, the Gun Mandu (RM20.00)…
…but not me. I will eat but never mind what cuisine, Korean, Japanese or Chinese, you will not see me rushing for it. There were some leftovers and the ladies took them home so I did get the chance to try. Well, I would say they were nice, very generous with the vegetable filling, but they certainly did not get me all excited.
Last but not least, they had the kim chi pajeon (omelette), RM28.00…
…and I guess everybody would know by now that I am not a fan.
Green tea was RM12.00 for two (probably a jug) – OUCH!!! – and the overall total came up to RM121.90. Not cheap, eh? For only TWO persons…but as long as my girl enjoys it, that is all that matters. After all, she brings home a big, fat, lump sum every month – teachers are so well-paid these days, not like the measly crumbs that fell off the table during my time.
KIMCHEE KOREAN BAR.BQ (2.296883,111.825859)…
…is located on the first floor in the block of shops to the right of the Old Sing Kwong Supermarket (Kin Orient Plaza) along Jalan Tun Abang Hj Openg.
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
