Trip Back to Kuching Part 1

Just made a 5 days trip back to Kuching during the national day holiday and the trip coincided with my birthday during the weekend ..muahaha...

Now what would a trip back to Kuching be like except for food and more food? As i was editing the photos for this post, i realized i only have food photos =_=

The moment i touched down, first stop was Premier 101 for supper. These fried chicken legs doesn't look very pretty or appetizing but i can assure you it was good

And we also had these mixed lok lok

I arrived on Friday night and the next day (which was my bday..lol) we had dinner at the new "restaurant" at the new "shopping mall" at Jalan Song. The eatery is actually a branch of the very famous ABC Seafood Stall No. 25 of TopSpot. They actually have a branch now at the new OneJaya shopping mall which doesn't really look like a shopping mall. Why do i say it doesn't really look like a shopping mall?? Because once again it is another sub-par complex in Kuching with sub-par shops. Kuchingites really deserve much better! Oh well..on with the food.

Buttered prawns...

Sadly, this was the best dish among all the dishes we ordered that night and i can't really eat shellfish so i only had one tiny prawn. I wonder who was the smarty-pants who ordered this dish on my birthday..oh well...

mani chai...oh boy it has been a while since i last had these...

curry bamboo clams which wasnt very good because some had a weird smell

we also had fried clams (see hum), sea cucumber soup (sucks), steamed tilapia (so-so),deer meat(some pieces tasted sourish). The bill amounted to RM200 (inclusive of drinks). As you can tell, i did not really enjoy my meal there. We ordered for orh jien but it was out of stock, so was crabs. It was really a disappointment and not something we'd expect from the very famous Stall No. 25 of Top Spot seafood.

The queueing system at the cashier was a nightmare with stupid uncles cutting queues. We overheard the owner saying actually they have not "officially" started business at the new place but then due to the the number of customers they have to dish out something. I don't think that is a good enough excuse. If you don't think you can handle the number of customers then for goodness sake, don't start business!
