Hong Kong Noodle House @ Wisma Saberkas, Kuching

I remember always frequenting this place back in the good old days. However, due to the numerous shopping complexes sprouting around the Kuching city, this place took a bit of a backseat. Its been a while since I've been here, almost 10 years.

That's a pretty long time right? We didn't even know what an iPad was at that time..

Anyway, that's also how long I haven't met my primary school class mates, and for old times sake, we went to visit this restaurant. Surprisingly, the place was still buzzing with lots of customers.

Ordered the usual. Roasted whole duck.

Roasted Whole Duck (RM 35)

Honestly, I had high expectations for this dish, I used to think that it tasted SO GOOD.  Although not great, It was alright. Would have loved it if the duck skin was crispier though!

Next up, Ipoh curry fish. Tastes way better than it looks. Surprisingly tasty, the sauce goes so well with rice. I had to consciously stop myself from going for more SAUCE. However, a downside lies in the freshness of the fish. If only it was fresher. I guess you can't expect a perfect dish for RM 25.

Ipoh Curry Fish in Pot (RM 25 big)

Fried Ma Ni Cai

Ordered a fried pork dish as well, nothing fantastic but definitely palatable, no individual photo included.

I really hope this place will continue to live on even though I am unsure when my next visit will be. With my growing tastebuds and demand for high quality food, my favourite childhood place no longer tastes the same.

However, I really wish this restaurant the best!

Verdict: This restaurant can get pretty noisy especially due to tiled floors. However, a relatively good place for just a nice simple lunch.

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.

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
