Due to the part time job as RA I'm working on, I went to Daro with another friend to test her system with the Melanau community there. Early morning, took 7am Mas Wing to Sibu, from the Sibu airport took cab to Sibu wharf. Around 8am, we left the airport, thought that we were in time to catch the 9am boat. We were told that the boat for the trip to Daro was only available at 1130am after the 8am trip. Having no other option, we walked to the hawker center above a wet market and found a place to sit down and have our breakfast. We were told that there were two kinds of boat to travel by rivers. One is express boat, another is speed boat. Express boat is a bigger boat compared to speed boat, but slower than speed boat. From Sibu to Daro, it needed 2 hours and 30 minutes by using express boat, 1 hour over by using speed boat. It was my first experience using boat to travel to other place. A different experience for me, and thought that i might get dizzy by sitting inside the boat, i

There is a new cafe and a supermarket opened behind the RHB bank area, called Golden Dragon. We went to the cafe to try out the food selling there. There were stalls selling chicken rice, roti canai, ABC, bread, mee jawa, ayam penyet, etc. We tried the chicken rice stall. The price was RM4.

Another place for Dim Sum at Kuching, other than the Banquet, Kung Fu, Mitsu, etc. The price was reasonable.  And I quite like the Barley drink served by this cafe, not like some other cafe, they served the instant one. And the Barley is cooked together with green bean.

There are three branches in Kuching, the Spring, Boulevard, and the Hills Shopping mall. We always went to the Spring branch. The ice cream there is always my favorite, especially the green tea ice cream together with the red bean paste  The fish belly is nice as well.

J brought me to this Japanese Restaurant for my birthday celebration. We had been to this restaurant for few times, the variety of choices and also the quality is quite good compared to other restaurants in Kuching. Of course, the price for Japanese food price is much more expensive than we eat at normal restaurants or cafe. Salmon and Salmon Belly Salmon belly here is very nice :) Me and John really enjoyed chewing it. Ten ichi ramen Grilled Salmon Grilled Chicken Yakitori The only problem we encountered here is ordering our meal. The menu mostly in Japanese language, and even the English name is not really explaining about the particular dishes. So mostly we ordered the food according to the pictures on the menu and also from our rough understanding about the English names and also some Chinese characters in the Japanese names.

I have been to Flinder's station for few times together with John. We are quite like to go there for a meal because there don't have government tax and service charge there, and the price is quite reasonable. Flinder's serves western food (chops, pasta, pizza). Pizzas and their fish main dish (Bahamudi) are the main attractions for us. We was having welcoming dinner with Matthew came back from KL to UNIMAS. Having a great time with him. The pizza was still hot and the cheese was so 'cheesy'.. Bahamudi Ice Cream Pancake Grilled Chicken Chop Fried Bahamudi & Chips

Today morning went to Jong's Crocodile Farm with John. Just learn an interesting fact that there are 2 different prices for the entrance fees, guess what? There are different prices for Sarawakian and non-Sarawakian. RM10 for the locals and RM16 for the non-locals. The feeding show is at 11am and 3pm. The place is quite clean compared to last time John was there. There are a lot of crocodiles inside, and they put some other animals as well for the visitors. I even joked with John that would the animals that are placed just beside the crocodiles' cage get heart attack. The pigs and goat is just like one wall distance with the crocodiles,haha.. 'Don't disturb me sleeping..' Feeding time

John was sick for the last two week, and he stayed back to his parent's house. He had been limited on the food that he was taking. So today lunch was a good meal for him after two week healthy diet :) Secret Recipe is always our favorite choice for our 'light' meal and having chitchat. The beverage there has quite a variety and their choices of cakes as well. And their main course menu is quite nice for me, because the price is fair if compared to other western food restaurant in Kuching and also their dining environment and the services. There are few branches in Kuching. The service and the standard of the food offered by the branch at the Spring was excellent if compared to other branch i went. Cod Fish With Honey Lemon Mustard tea in pot (chamomile of pure flower) and berry choc cheese Chicken Parmigiana

Went to Jalan Song for lunch as John said that there was a chicken rice he wanted me to try. Cha Siew Chicken Rice  Then we found another chicken rice stall. We ordered a steam chicken rice. It was quite nice in term of price and taste. The price was RM3.50, and the meat portion was quite large. There was another chicken rice shop at 3rd mile, their chicken rice was really nice, but the price was not cheap as this.

My Chicken Restaurant can be found at Kota Samarahan and Kuching. Originally, they just started by selling friend chicken and burgers, the typical menu for a fast food restaurant. After a while, they did some improvement by adding new menu (like nasi lemak and steam and roasted chicken rice) and doing some promotion (Lunch promotion, Student promotion and etc.). Their steam chicken rice is quite nice, and the price is RM4.50 for lunch offer with a drink. They offer their fried chicken in original and spicy taste.
