Sharing Downtown

Sharing Planet is a popular Western cuisine serving restaurant in Kuching. Good for the huge and generous portions of good foods with reasonable price, their first outlet was at Stapok area. Had to make reservations in order to secure your dining experience there. To cater more customers, they expanded their business by opening another outlet in town, known as Sharing Downtown. This was my first time there and I brought along my parents. The menu is the same as the original Sharing Planet. The environment is similar to Sharing Planet as well as they offer alfresco dining environment. Let's see what we had for the night!

Double Cheezyland (RM13.80). Juicy and crispy of big size chicken cutlets deep fried and topped with cheese slice and thousand island sauce. 

Mushroom Soup (RM5.80).

Seafood Carbonara (RM19.80). Served in rich and creamy carbonara sauce! Yumms~~

Supreme de volaille (RM16.80). Chicken chop with ham and cheese, served with fries and coleslaw. Always one of my favorite dishes here.

Grilled lamb shoulder (RM19.80). Generous portions of lamb shoulder served in nicely marinated black pepper sauce.

Having ice creams to end our meal!

Mag's Brithday @ Cafe Cafe

It was Magdalene's birthday eve. All of our former course mates decided to gather to celebrate her birthday. It was long since all of us can manage to spare some time to sit together and talk. All busy with our own stuffs. This time round, they planned to have a lunch gathering and celebration at Cafe Cafe. From the fusion menu offered, we also had a fusion of asian and western cuisines depending on what we preferred to eat.

Broccoli with Prawns and Mushrooms (RM22). 

Turkey Ham Salad with Apple Cider Vinegar (RM15). Topped with lots of grated parmesan cheese, the salad served in the apple cider vinegar was good except for the onions which I dislike. :P

Spaghetti Bolognese (RM16). Huge portion for this price.

Nyonya Kapitan Chicken Rice Set (RM16)

Beef Masak Hitam Rice Set (RM17). All the rice sets come with side dishes of keropok, fried okra and achar. Looking so yummy!

Tomato & Cincalok Omelette Fried Rice (RM15). Contained within the omelette, the fried rice portion was huge. Samson seemed to be enjoying his plate of fried rice a lot. 

Grilled Norwegian Salmon (RM28).

Deep Fried Breaded Chicken with Spicy Prawn Sauce (RM22). 

The long awaited Creamy Baked Chicken Chop Rice (RM19). Topped with cream sauce and cheese on top of the chicken chop, the buttery fragrant chicken rice was baked for quite some time before served. Although fragrant, it was kinda oily just like chicken rice.

Tuna Toast (RM13). Although it was stated as a side dish. this dish looked like a main course to me. Big big size and it looked so deliciously great with the creamy tuna and cheese on top of the toast! 

Finally with our lunch done, it's time for cake presentation session! Chocolate Coffee Cake from Mickey Cake House. Not bad. Not that sweet.

:D

Darren's Pre-Birthday Dinner @ Railway Express Bistro

As we were planning to celebrate Darren's birthday, we decided to dine in at the newly opened Railway Express Bistro, located just below Angelus Fitness @ Stutong. The corner shop used to be Fire Stone Steamboat, then the owners switched to serve Western Cuisine. Developing the shop into a railway train design as according to the name, the waiters and waitresses were dressed in their railway uniforms. The place was just opened for a couple of days and we had been sniffing in great smell from the kitchen while working out in the gym lately. Hopefully the foods taste as good as it smelled.

Mushroom Soup (RM8). Served with the herbs-spiced butter garlic bread, the mushroom soup was really good. Rich in taste with bits of mushrooms! Would be better if it's served hot.

Breast Chicken Chop (RM14). We opt for the Red Wine Sauce to go with our "gym-food". Marinated in mixed herbs, yielding the slight greenish colored chicken breast, the meat was juicy, tender and full with flavors. The Red Wine Sauce was good too!

Railway Lamb Chop (RM24). The lamb was grilled to perfection as well. Very tender. Mushroom Sauce was chose here, but I did not try. Ah Hui said the sauce was not nice thou. The mashed potatoes served was so delicious! It's very creamy and smooth! Made with rich butter I guessed! I eventually ordered another Breast Chicken Chop, requesting my fries to be changed to mashed potatoes! Hehe~

Railway Alfredo (RM18). With bacon bits, mushrooms and ham, the spaghetti cooked in the rich Alfredo Sauce was a great dish to enjoy. Just that portion was rather small thou.

Yummy!! Will come back for more! :D

Lunch Buffet Offer @ Carvery Restaurant, Abell Hotel

Carvery Restaurant, Abell Hotel is currently having this buffet offer with 15% discount in this month of April due to their 3rd Year Anniversary. For folks who love high quality meats, grab your seats fast. They have live stations of prime beef ribs, roast turkey and lamb leg for their Sunday buffets. We were there on Saturday for lunch as I do not want too heavy meals for dinner. Guided to our reserved seats of 12 pax, we were first approached with menus to select our drinks. Then, without much hesitation, I moved on to the cold cuts, salad stations. 

All the pre-mix salads.

Cold Cut Salad and Cheese on Glass. Like the Cold Cut Salad. It's a mix of chicken lyoner and beef salami with some greens and salad dressings. Kinda oily, so I did not have another cup. The Cheese on Glass sounds interesting, but did not appeal to me as it did not taste cheesy at all. Seemed like chicken chunks. Maybe it's just the name?? 

Coleslaw and Eggs with Peas and Corn Salad.

Potato Salad and Fruit Salad. These 2 were among the best! I love potatoes! Couldn't remember how many cups I took. :P 

Chicken Lyoner

Beef Salami

Love the Chicken Lyoner and Beef Salami. Would be great to have this as sandwich.

Chicken Cold Platter. 

Some greens to make up your own choice of salads.

Lots of Salad Dressings.

Salsa

Jams for the bread served.

Cooked Foods Section - Pasta with Lamb Sauce (Delicious!), Roasted Potatoes, Fried Rice, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Sweet Corn with Baby Corn, Butter Brussel Sprout and Baby Carrots.

They also have desserts served. Honeydew Pudding, Mango Pudding and Sago Gula Melaka. Wasn't really impressed thou.

Fresh Fruits Platter. Rather go for this instead of desserts. Tastier and of cos, HEALTHIER!

We were served with buns and butter. I did not try the butter, but my friends said it tasted different from our usual ones. Very delicious according to them. I just like my bun plain. It was chewy and was also great to go with the mushroom soup.

Salads~~ Tried everything they have on the salad buffet area.

These were the ones I kept taking for the whole afternoon apart from the potato salad. 

I created my own dish of Pasta in Mushroom Soup. HAHA!

Not too much on the salads yet as we had to leave spaces for the MEATSSS! Before having the carvings started, we were served with 2 gravies - Black Pepper and Mushroom Gravy.

First dish served: Roast Lamb Leg! Succulent, juicy, tender lamb leg roasted to perfection with the crispy glazing skin.

They have one of the best Grilled Chicken Wings in town. 

Black Pepper Beef Ribs. Their marinade was delicious, but the beef ribs were a bit disappointing. The meat was very soft and easily peeled off from the bones during my previous visits. However, it was kinda hard and chewy this time.

Mussels. Cooked in Marinara Sauce I think. Fresh and perfectly cooked mussels that were not too chewy, but soft and easily comes off from the shell. The sweet-tasting sauce made it more appetizing. Had a couple of these~

Sirloin Steak. Our favorite! We were served with well-done steaks for the first round. Although it was fully cooked, the steaks were very soft and tender. Unlike certain places, the steaks could turn out to be hard and chewy when it's fully cooked. We were very impressed.

Had my sirloin steaks in medium rare later. Seemed like rare to me. Tasted great anyway! I had my plates refilled with steaks from time to time. Greedy me~

Chicken Sausages

Chicken Chop. Seemed to be spiced with the same flavorings as the chicken wings.Delicious!

Fish Fillets - Grilled and Deep-Fried. Too bad Dory Fish was served. I preferred the Deep-Fried Fish Fillet cos it tasted like Fried Chicken Meats and there was no fishy smell. 

So, altogether we were served with 9 carving dishes for our lunch buffet. There would be 14 dishes for their dinner buffet.
Really enjoyed our lunch!!! Man, so damn FULL!! Just at RM38+ per person (not including drinks and 6% government tax yet), we get to enjoy these much of great foods!! Slurpsss~~~
