Lunch at The Venue, RH Plaza

-
The other day, I went for lunch at The Venue, RH Plaza. The restaurant is somewhere near to Swanteem Steamboat.

Since it is the birthday of one colleague, we just let him decide all the dishes. Well, I didn't really hear what he ordered. Hehehe..

The environment is extremely quiet for lunch. I think we are the only one there. Maybe, not many people that opt for heavy lunch or maybe their target is for dinner.

The service is quite slow, considering that we are the only customer there. The workers are busy cleaning the onion that they don't even entertain use that much. Well, I guess they hardly have customer during lunch time. Hhmmm...

OK, the food. Here's what we ordered:

'O Jien' - dry method. This is the first time i tried the wet type and it's quite nice...

Dried tauhu. Not bad too, just that the tauhu is quite soft. 

I think they say that this is the 'penyu' or turtoise or something like that. In hokkien, 'si kah hu'. Well, a bit weird as I'm imagining myself eating my turtoise at home.. Errmmmm...

Deep fry pork leg - for those who worries of fats on pork leg, I think you should try this method. The fats  gets melted away already, I think. And the skin is crunchy!

Asam fish. It taste more like curry to me. The sour taste is a bit missing

As for the cake, we had it specially design to suit the birthday guy his taste - a strongbow shape cake. My bad, the jelly melted when I'm on my way home from the bakery.. sigh!!

Location: Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia

While googling for news about 'malichai', it turns out that I hardly get anything that I am looking for, so this triggers me to write something about this local vegetables that I believe, can only be found in Sarawak. 'Mali chai' is easily planted and grow quite fast as well. In fact, this is the only vegetables that I planted and it didn't fail on me! With its stick, just plant it on the ground and leave the rain and sun to takes care of the rest. Hahaha... 'Mali chai' is a word in hokkien that mostly use in Kuching. 'Chai' means vegetables. Hakka people called it 'su choi'. Well, this vege doesn't seems to have an English name. If we are to translate from BM to English, it definitely sounds weird - Sweet Hook. I think anyone who hear 'sweet hook' will not be keen to try it out.. So, how do 'mali chai' looks like? I've snap the photos of this vegetables at my garden. Actually, I've just harvest the vegetables few ...

Feeling hungry for something different on lunch time? Another place you can think of will be this restaurant - The Cozy Cafe. It is opposite One TJ with a black signboard. The environment is indeed cozy and warmth. Taste wise not bad but I can say that the service is a little weird. We order tea and they only permitted to give us 2 cup. Hhmmmm, I thought that we can just ask them to refill the pot wit hot water and share the tea amongst us. Guess this is how they earn more - limiting the number of sharing per tea pot. Oh well, got to just follow their rules. And this is what we ordered - sharing portion between a few of us. After all, ladies are small eaters. Mushroom soup with garlic bread Fish and chips Spaghetti Carbonara with hot dogs  Enjoy your lunch yea...

Have anyone been to this place? I actually asked SK to help in translating them into English. According to her 'xiao' refers to small while 'ba wang' is gangster. Hhmmmm.... It is located right opposite the Stutong Market. BF say this is second branch. For me, this is the first time I saw it. This is a good place for 'pao' lovers to have their breakfast. BF and I went there once for breakfast since it's on the way to our workplace. First impression - I like it here. Not much traffics and the place is clean. Second impression - what happen to the day dreaming waitresses?? I want to take my order! Third impression - do they know that we are waiting? The food is nice. For BF, it is superb. He has been eating 'pao' for breakfast for almost everyday. Well maybe like what he say, for me everything is the same. But I must say the dim sum is nice. Anyway, I think they should really improve the workers efficiency. The other day, BF forgotten whether he had ...
