Dinner @ Bangkok Thai

Thai dining places are RARE in Kuching. Bangkok Thai, subsidiary of Lok Thian Group, is one popular spot of Kuchingites in search for Thai Cuisines. It is also one of our usual spots for family gathering. I guessed I shall just move forward to our dishes. 

Beef dish.

Pineapple Fried Rice

Stir-fried Bidin in Belacan

Tom Yam Seafood Soup. Very appetizing! Sour and spicy!

Kailan / Kale with Salted Fish

Pandan Chicken. Highly recommended.

Otak-otak

Mongolian Lamb. Lovely!

Mango fish. Another palatable dish.

Water Chestnut in Coconut Milk as dessert. In Singapore, this would be called Red Ruby! Always great to end our dinner with dessert. :D So far, I find that Bangkok Thai serves the best Red Ruby in Kuching.

Family Dinner @ Sweet Happiness

Introducing more food from Sweet Happiness :D

Loving this Coconut Chicken Soup 椰子炖鸡汤. Yummy!!! Good enough to be shared among 2-3 persons.

Ok.. Butter Prawn again!! Haha!! 

Stir-fried "money"-vege with egg.

Eggplant dish. Forgotten what was it cooked with, but it was rather tasty!

Roasted duck. Not really recommended thou.

Salted Fish Pork Belly 咸鱼花腩煲. Deliciously stir-fried with salted fish which gave the pork belly a slight saltiness. Dried chilli was added to improve its taste, but not covering the sweetness of the tender pork belly.

Deep-Fried Salted Egg Crab. Not my liking. Too dry. I love the moist and creamy type.

Lunch offerings @ C3 Cafe, BDC

Wanted to try out the recommended Satay Beehoon from C3 Cafe, but unfortunately, we were too late. Finished by noon. :( And so, we had sth else!

Roasted Chicken Rice with Sunny-Side-Up Egg (RM5.80 if not mistaken). The chicken rice was really fragrant, unlike certain places in which the oily rice just appears yellowish, but not flavorful.

Chicken Leg Meat

Stir-fried Manicai BeeHoon (forgotten the price). Not bad.

It's not very difficult to search for this cafe as most people are aware of A1, B2 Food Court, so C3 is just opposite! :)

Hui Li's Birthday @ Mike's Smokehouse

Located along the same row as Sidewalk Cafe, Mike's Smokehouse was our selected venue for Hui Li's birthday celebration. Mike's Smokehouse is also a new Western Restaurant in Kuching, earning the hearts of many cos of it's good food. Viewing thru their one-page menu, we finally decided on what to have. 

Cheese burger with a side of fries (RM24.90).

A huge half-pound beef patty with bacon, melting cheddar cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Looks so good, right? But this was not my order.. Hehe~ So unable to give any comments.

Tadaa~ Here came ours! Good for 2 person! Cos it's a whole kampung chicken! Roasted Chicken with Roasted Potatoes (RM45.90). Although it took some time to prepare this dish, but it was worth the wait. The flesh was so juicy, flavorful and succulent. 

Food price here are a bit of the high-end as compared to other dining outlets that also serve good food but at a cheaper price. Ok, moving on to the celebration photos:

Birthday gal with her Prince Charming. XP

Make a wish~ Make a wish~

A group photo of the ladies. I actually had a photo of the whole group including the guys. Unfortunately, it was blur. :'( So, I guess just us, the gals, could be on the post.

Three Meals Steamboat 一日三餐之火锅

There's a new Steamboat buffet concept arising in Kuching! Porridge Steamboat!! Wow! This was my first time to come across porridge steamboat and without much hesitation, we paid a visit to Three Meals Steamboat 一日三餐之火锅. Although the place was located at Kuching City Mall, Desa Wira, quite away from town, it's not very difficult to locate it. It's just next to the famous Ling Loong Seafood.

The clean and pleasant place for steamboat

Ingredients Station. Not forgetting to mention, they have unlimited servings of frog legs 田鸡 too, and that goes best with porridge! Some fresh meat like beef, lamb, chicken and fish slices are served upon request.

There are a couple of steamboat soups available like herbal soup, tom yam soup and so on. We had the "Yin Yang", which means we can choose two broths of our liking. Of cos, not to be missed was the porridge and another one we opt for herbal soup. :)

Tadaa~~ All the fresh ingredients we could take from the Ingredients Station:

Cooking our food in the broths! The longer and the more ingredients you put in, the better is the broths. Especially the porridge. I had so many frog legs inside and it's so sweet! Yummy!

Although they do not have much choices of food as other buffets offer in town, but their food were all very fresh and nice. Priced at RM25.90, it's definitely worth trying!
