Dinotrek - a collaboration with Petrosains in Kuching

*** Pictures are taken with SE k610i. so.. lousy quality of photos. (uekk)



Yesterday i went to Dewan Tun Abdul Razak for this dinotrek thing. Kinda like an exhibition of dinosaurs. Entry is RM 5 per person , while for kids below 17 years old is RM 3. I'm very pleased with the way they welcomed us. Very friendly workers. DOUBLE THUMBS UP!



There's a lot of this interactive games thing. Ofcourse, it's about dinosaurs. It could be lame , but i learn quite a few new things through this machines. Haha..


Then the answering thing.. where you step on the "yes" or "no" thing. U have to answer three questions .. i only got one right! haha. damn memalukan ok? coz it will say loud loud "Anda berjaya menjawab satu soalan sahaja".


Got this thing.. it's a "computeriseD" bicycles. It's two dinosaur chasing each other. Haha. The bicycle BMX one ar. Dun pray pray. haha.

The dinodance! this one is funny! in front of this stage,there's actually something like webcam. then u see yourrself la.. inside a video . haha. It will appear in another screen also. Very funny. Coz at 1st i thought it was just some sort of a stage and u look at the video. Kinda shock when i see myself in the screen. Haha!


I asked the boys to shake it ! shake it! Do the dinodance! shake it! oh ! shake it! =D


Then got four of this machine lah around the exhibition halls.. You have to cop on the card they gave u (or u need to ask).. but must cop correctly. Then they'll give you a sticker!


The sticker they gave! I bite! Hmmm.. sounds dirty eh? If you look it another way.. heh!


This engineered dinosaur is cool!! Got sound one and can move move a bit when u press! haha! Can only press one button at once tho. But the boys decided to press all (around 10 buttons) at once. Damn farny, can?!


The rest of the exhibitions rooms is quite dark la. Macam jungle. It's surrounded by this.


They got a lot of "chip-generated" dinosaurs la. Can move , can roar. can show their teeth to scare u. haha!



I find this baby dinosaur in half-hatched egg the kewtest! too bad my phone cam kns! :X


Outside of the exhibition hall got sale some gifts oso. Dinosaur stuff. it's very interesting wor the things they sale. hehe! so what's going there without buying souveniers rite? The lady was realli nice!




Jo and i bought this. We bought two same dinosaurs. He follow me ! :P

The dinosaur can expand big big (600% of its size) after 72 hours!! So i PROMISE! i will show u after it expand!!

So arhh.. Everyone shud go lah! Mommy and Daddy bring ur kids la! Boyfriend bring ur girlfriend go! Or anyone ! :P it's interesting.. RM 5 was worth it! But just because i find it interesting , don't come and bomb me if you find it not interesting. Hehe!

Frappe

*** Photos taken with SE K610i

Today , i went to Frappe for a drink while waiting for the boy(s) to go for a date. heh! date? :P



The interior has the retro theme. with the squares and rounds thing...



They will serve u a glass of vodka . It was damn kau , OK?!



HAHA! i'm jk. it's plain water! haha!!


Lover Plum Green Tea RM 4.50



The drinking companion had this. It's actually Jasmine tea + 2 asam bois. Lover plum , kononnya!haha!

Iced Latte RM 7.00



Mine. It was good. Problem was.. it had hair on it!!!!!!!! Ofcuz , i asked for a change. They happily change it and apologized! :) No , they did not spit on it. I was sitting facing the bar! (it was an open bar)

If you feel like having a drink and just chat away the time , this is a nice place to go. Good music too. Peaceful! :) oh yea.. dun try the cheesecake! haha! sucks!! :P Just drink there ok? :P

Kaya And Toast

*** Pictures Taken with SE K750I




I guess most of you would know this place. They're popular and they must be damn good.. coz they have 3 branch in a period of 3 years( more or less). Trust me , it's not something easy in Kuching. They have one in Central Park , Petanak and the most recent one in Tabuan Jaya.

I've been there many times , and i always tend to order the same thing. Heh!

Cai Kueh


Honestly , i'm NOT a fan of Cai Kueh. Man , it's typical chinese old-fashioned kueh hor~~! so sick of it , u see it everywhere. BUT! BUT! This one is damn good worrr! The rice flour skin is generously filled with "mengkuang" and carrot. I love the fact that it's very well flavoured and it's served on a piece of local lettuce.The only laid-back is that the sambal is a little too smelly for my liking.

Curry Mee (Thanks to Kuching Food Club for the pic , specifically Diablo-cant find the pic i took)



The curry is cooked chinese-styled. I'm very sceptical over chinese curry that's served outside coz my parents and grandma cook damn good curry. But this one is above average , and nice. A lil spicy yet has a sweet end.
Ratings : 8/10

Ham and Cheese Toast



What's going there without eating their toast rite? I tried a few kinds of their toast but I don't find their toast amazing tho.. seriously , if they have 3 branch serving this kind of toast , i might be a millionaire if i start selling toast Chef Mel - style! Haha.
Ratings : 5/10

Nasi Lemak



Their nasi lemak is wrapped in "Kertas Minyak" and packed the triangle way. I love it if my nasi lemak is packed this way!
The inside?



The portion is really little and i'm very sure a big eater would finish it in less than 5 minutes. For me , i thought it was a perfect portion coz i don't take much rice.The rice has very nice coconut milk aroma and the sambal is good too. Nice.
Ratings : 8/10

What's more? They have wi-fi . So hamsap guys can eat their breakfast while surfing porn while bimbotic girls can shop clothes online!

This is a good place to have your breakfast when you're so sick of local delicacies like kolo mee and laksa .. and dirty coffeeshops!

Secret Recipe Kuching , Sarawak

***Pictures taken with SE K610i

If you've been a reader since i started my blog , you will notice that i wrote a post on Secret Recipe , Kay-Ell. As well as , you know im very much a fan of their cakes.It was a blessing when i saw the banners hanging saying they will open soon!



It was so packed in the first few weeks. Packed with "sakai-s". Haha. I didn't bother to go there early because i didn't want to be one of the "sakai-s". In fact i don't even plan to pay a visit after hearing so many bad comments.

Anyway , i went there yesterday , thinking they probably settle down .. since their business have been going on for almost a month now.



The menu book is the same like the ones in KL. everything was the same .. interior and stuff. If you notice , all secret recipe outlets have almost the same interior.

Honestly the cake didn't look appetizing to me. I wanted to order the New York Cheese Cake , but it's cut unevenly. What a turn off. The rest.. just didn't look interesting to me. Sigh..

Anyway , after brain storming .. i decided to have :

White Chocolate Macadamia Cake
RM 6.50 (Without the 15% tax.. na bey!)



The cream cheese part taste OK .. just that it' s a bit powder-rish. A sign that corn flour is added into the cream cheese to increase the volume. The cake part was the turn off! The sponge cake is SUPER DRY!!!Even if they wanted to save , they cud've used ovelette or moisten(sprinkle on the sponge cake) it with sugar water. Macadamia's over roasted..Sigh.. wasted my money!

And yes, i didn't finish it.



I also had this.

Shepherd's pie RM 6.50 ( Also without the tax)



They display the pies .. and this one seriously doesn't look like the on they display! It's about the size of an egg tart! They heat it up by putting it into a microwave oven. Man, Don't tell me they don't know that pastries gets soggy when you put them in the microwave??! ... i had just two bites of it.. DOUBLE SIGH!

My mum asked me to take away for her. I bought this for her.

Almond Cheese Cake RM 6 ( without tax)



If the macadamia one was dry.. OMFG! This one is super dry. I didn't finish it as well. TRIPLE SIGH!

Having to taste so many of their cakes (I've tasted more than 10 , OK? ), I'm VERY sure the ones in Kay-ell doesn't taste like this. I don't think I'll pay a second visit even when people tell me i chose the wrong cake or shytss.. Hey .. i ain't paying for poops the second time!

Anyway , this is for the teachers in Malaysia. Don't say i am pelajar derhaka. hehe! ( the word "teatcher" is purposely spelled wrong.)

Sri Shan Curry House

*** The photos are taken with SE K610i (quite blur =[ )

Sri Shan is located near the Point One in town ,next to Tsui Hua Lau's building. Usually packed in the peak hour, Sri Shan serves Indian food and has got quite a lot of good reviews. Many would claim the food is spicy , but honestly , i think the spicy level is just MILD. man ... wish they could double it up!

What i had?

Nasi briyani Kosong RM 3



I must say their nasi briyani is one of the best i've tasted. They put the perfect amount of ghee so it kinda makes the briyani has this damn good aroma. Not many would put a lot of ghee since it's quite costly.It's cooked with golden raisins, tomato , spices and cashew nuts. The briyani comes with a piece of papadum (the piece of keropok) and pineapple and cucumber pickles. It's good.
Ratings : 10/10

Ayam Paratal RM 5



This one taste good but the gravy is a bit too thick for my liking. And the meat is soo small man! They'll give you LOTS of gravy and Lil chix onli!! OH And! I wish it's spicy!
Ratings : 8/10

Sotong Varuval RM 5



Varuval is suppose to be very spicy.. But sighhhh, this one not spicy! Squid's over-cooked till it's so dry and rubberish. Not very nice, don't order this one! He he!
Ratings : 5/10

Potato RM 1.50



This one is nice. My dining companion seems to love it a lot! ( **GRIN** ) Again , i wish it's spicy!! Ratings : 9/10

Thosai Kosong RM 1.80



This one is nice. Good thosai are actually not suppose to be too sour. This one is sour but it's nice? Comes with grated coconut fry with chilli and other spices, dhal and curry gravy. Finally! Something is spicy. The grated coconut is nice! I think it's quite cheap oso :P Ratings : 10/10

So , if you're kuching-aiks and do not know where to give in to your-indian-food-cravings, this is the place! =)

Oh , this is another free lunch! Who says there is no free lunch is this world? :P

Mother's Day Lunch

*** Photos are taken with SEK750i

Every time of this year , restaurants in town would be pack with "fake" kids bringing their moms to dine. I dare to say 50 % of those kids only bring their mums out on Mother's day. I'm proud to say i'm not one of those kids. HEHE. But HEY! it's better to fake it out then not celebrating Mother's Day at all!Boo to those who don't celebrate!BOOOOOO! Hehe!

Anyway , i had a pre-Mother's Day meal when my sis was still in town. We brought our mum for a scrumptious Thai Cuisine in Pandan Thai Delight. Pandan Thai Delight has been on business for around 4 years now and they never fail to satisfy me! Easily spotted in RH Plaza BDC and it's quite packed with well-dressed customers during peak hour.

The interior.



I really liked the interior. It has a classy touch! It is classy!



What we had ?

Kuey Teow Lui Suan RM 8



A pure Thai cuisine. Bean sprouts , chicken and mushroom is wrapped in self made glutinous rice flour skin . Comes with chili dipping and yea .. it blends well.Chili is nice too! Good!
Ratings : 8/10

Mango Salad RM 12



Again , another pure Thai cuisine. Their dressing is made out of fish sauce and blended chili. A healthy side dish. Somehow i would prefer their glass noodle salad over this one.
Ratings : 7/10

Hot and Spicy chicken with hot basil leaves (Glass noodle) RM 7



Man , this dish has got too much vege? Couldn't taste their basil tho. Gotta give props coz it's well-fry. A satisfactory dish. Ratings : 7/10

Nam Prig Long Rua Fried Rice RM 12



THIS IS THE BOMB! It was damn good , damn spicy! It's actually rice fried with their own blended spices and chili. Has a taste of Thai. Comes with a quarter of salted egg, chicken cooked with sweet soy sauce,tomato, cucumber, long beans, cabbage and the most special one is it comes with dried prawns floss. Ratings : 10/10

Honey sea coconut and Mata kucing RM 3



This is my fav drink there. Very nice! Ratings : 10/10

Water Chestnut in Coconut Milk RM 3



This is the-MUST in Thai Cuisine. Also , my favourite and the one they have is the bomb! It's actually water chestnut "wrapped" in glutinous rice and is served with blended ice , coconut milk and rose syrup.I like that it's presented in a coconut shell. Perfect 10 ! Ratings : 10/10

Taco RM 2



Also a very popular Thai Cuisine. The top is actually coconut milk while the layer below is water chestnut in some cooked "jelly". Don't know what is it exactly called. Hehehe. Ratings : 9/10

If you haven't been there, take your time and have a nice meal there! totally worth it!

I'll be having another mother's day meal tomorrow night . In the mean time, this is for all the mums in the world~!

hehe!

You Are an Excellent Cook

You're a top cook, but you weren't born that way. It's taken a lot of practice, a lot of experimenting, and a lot of learning. It's likely that you have what it takes to be a top chef, should you have the desire...
