Koreana @ 101 Premier, Kuching

This restaurant has been opened in Kuching for quite awhile, been there a few times, but have never taken any photos. So this time, I made it a point to remember to take my camera and take some photos.. Hence, let me introduce you to Koreana, my mum's all time favourite Korean place..

Sanga Restaurant @ Chin Ann Road, Kuching

First time trying this place out.. according to my friends, this is one of the higher priced japanese restaurants in town.. first impression upon entering was quite a spacious setting.. however, the wooden seats were quite painful to sit on after awhile, bum was entirely flattened out after 3 hours!

Howdy Grillhouse @ Brighton Square, Jalan Song, Kuching

Having heard lots of comments that this restaurant serves the best ribs in town, I popped by for a try. Its located near causeway bay, fairly easy to locate.

NK Food Network @ Bormill Estate, Kuching

Another promising coffee shop in the Bormil Estate area, serving both Chinese and Western Cuisine at decent prices. Since I'm more of an Asian fan, I stuck to my Chinese roots and did not place orders for a western meal, but feel free to give them a try, seems pretty good!

Toh Yuen Restaurant @ Hilton Kuching

Serves Chinese food, priced slightly to the high end, but what can I say, it's Hilton, definitely understandable. Very nice ambience, accompanied by interesting art around, definitely a nice comfortable place to be at on a Sunday afternoon.

Little Hainan Chicken Rice @ Bormill Estate, Kuching

Who doesn't like chicken rice?

Hai Tian Lou Restaurant @ Jalan Mendu, Kuching

During CNY season, my usual cravings for some Yee Sang and Yum Cha landed me at this place. Usually, I frequent this place at night, but this time, I was there for lunch. Typically, this restaurant is packed to the brim during dinner periods, but during lunch hours, its quite peaceful and quiet.

Silver Spoon @ Publika, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

I was impressed with the food the first time I brought my parents there. Excited. I shared the many good things about Silver Spoon and brought my sis all the way there, only to be utterly disappointed.

Goong Korean Restaurant@ 101 Premier

I am a fan of anything Korean, and absolutely love Korean cuisine. Often, I find myself having these deep cravings for korean food and would soon be out and about to satisfy those needs! This Korean restaurant Goong popped up in Kuching in 2012, and I was so glad to be able to visit this place recently.

Their menu is quite extensive, but I honestly think that it doesn't hurt to have more! (I'm greedy). Since they were only the two of us that night, we couldn't order much, hence we settled for a bowl of cha jiang myun, bi bim bap and beef bulgogi (medium).

Firstly, the side dishes came, and boy, did it make me smile.

Side Dishes - Egg Roll, Kimchi, Potato Salad and other preserved vegetables etc

The Black Toro @ Kingsway, Glen Waverly, Melbourne

Have heard tons of good reviews about this place, so I went by for a try and indeed, it did not disappoint. For those who frequent Glen Waverly, you would be aware of how this place boasts about Asian cuisine, so if you're on the look out for something fun and different, this place would be 'THE' place to go to.

Upon entering, you would be greeted by a friendly staff member who would gladly locate a seat for you.

Then, brace yourself as you immerse in the various delicious tasting aroma coming from the open kitchen. Look at those chefs hard at work, oblivious to me taking photos of them.

Manchester Press @ Rankins Lane, Melbourne

This place is quite hidden... but once u spot the man, you can find the place. Find the hidden man below along Rankins lane.

Daruma Japanese Kitchen @ Burke Road, Camberwell, Melbourne

Although I practically pass through Burke road everyday to get to the train station, I have never been or noticed this restaurant until my sister told me about it recently. Located near Sofia's restaurant is where this quaint Japanese restaurant resides. The menu is simple and traditional but some dishes do have a very unique twist, which I appreciate.

Pho Bo Ga Mekong Vietnamese Restaurant @ Swanston Street, Melbourne

According to many, this place is like one of the best Vietnamese Restaurant in Melbourne CBD, always packed to the brim and full of buzz.

Korean BBQ Restaurant @ Boxhill, Corner Station Street

I have always seen this place packed but have never visited this place, since the name says KOREAN BBQ.. so I figured they didn't serve any other dishes except for you know, BBQ. But boy, I was so wrong. It's not that I don't like BBQ, but its something that I won't have like everyday.

On a Friday night, this place wasn't as pack as their neighbour restaurant (Yami Yami), but I wasn't complaining.. quiet and good service is what I like.

Crown Tower Hotel @ Southbank, Melbourne

This hotel is the epitome of absolute 'grandness' (is that even a word?). and I am not kidding. This hotel won the 2012 gourmet traveller travel award- best large luxury hotel..

Church St Enoteca @ Richmond, Melbourne

Despite the rather old rustic appearance outside, inside, is a different story... Beautifully decorated with very interesting vintage posters..
