Whenever I crave for a plate of nice chicken rice, this is the place always popped up in my mind. They are serving only the chicken thigh and they only have 2 choices of menu, Normal (RM6.00) and Special (RM10.00). This is what made them efficient in serving the food to the customers. We ordered 2 Normal and 1 Special serving of chicken rices. They put all the serving in one plate. Quite a big portion I would say. There was pickled cucumber served as well. And each of us was served with one plate of rice, one bowl of salted vege soup (咸菜汤), 3 kind of sauces, Chili, Belacan and Dark Soya. I really love the rice and the chicken is tender and juicy!

As I have been brought up in a Cantonese family, Chee Cheong Fun, 猪肠粉, is one of my favorite food. Recently, there is a shop newly opened in Gala City Kuching, called 潮汕肠粉. We decided to give it a try. The Menu The Menu There was a small pot filling with the paste which looks like the mixture of chili and bean paste on the table. Chili Bean Paste Looking at the picture in the menu, it is different with Hong Kong style Cheong Fun. We ordered Singature Cheong Fun, Cheong Fan with "Special" Char Siew (BBQ pork), and Mushroom Siow Mai.  Signature Cheong Fun Cheong Fun with Char Siew Mushroom Siow Bee Both Cheong Fun's ingredients (Long Cabbage, Egg, Mushroom, Minced meat) is basically the same, except that there is char siew added for one of it. The Cheong Fun skin is quite thick and the portion is quite big. Personally, I still prefer Hong Kong style cheong fun, which is having thinner skin in roll and topped with thick sweet sauce :)

It always fun to drop by post office out of the blue to just check out what is the first day cover or new stamp series they are offering. I'm not really a stamp collector, but I like to collect things which I like and having special meaning. As me and my mom were touring around Plaza Merdeka and Carpenter Street, I felt a sudden urge to go inside Pejabat Pos Besar and have a look. To my surprise, they were selling Batman series and Marvel series folder set as both were in 80th year anniversary. For Batman series, they were selling the folder set for RM120.00. The folder Folder unfolded 3 envelopes with stamped stamps. Post cards The stamp sheet The stamp sheet Add on another RM10 for the miniature stamps (a postcard and 3 stamps).
