Beef Noodles @Muhibah Cafe 親善茶室, Bintulu

Address: No. 31, Shahida Commercial Centre, Jalan Market, 97000 Bintulu, Sarawak.
Business hours: Monday - Sunday 7:00AM - 1:30PM


In Bintulu, there are two places that served the best beef noodles. One is Yee Chwan Cafe and the other one is Muhibah Cafe. Both are specialised in beef noodles and frequently patronised by Muslim customers everyday. Despite their soup base looks identical but the taste can be differentiate. My bro prefers the beef noodles from Muhibah, I'm fond of Yee Chwan's beef noodles more.








Nevertheless Muhibah's beef noodles has bigger portion. Look at the generosity of beef slices and tripe. Yee Chwan's beef meat is 'countable' with 5 fingers even you order the biggest size. That's the reason my bro prefers Muhibah's because its portion really worths the price.

Kuching Food Festival 2018 古晋美食节 (II)

Last Tuesday we went to Kuching Food Festival again to try out some food as recommended on Facebook. First stop, we queued for this onion pancake. Ordered the original version with egg, RM5. Quite expensive though.




The taste of this onion pancake was quite predictable. But it's not really like the Taiwan version. Not crispy, its taste is more similar to roti canai.




Souffle´ pancake, RM8. I ordered the salted cheese flavour, had to wait 30 minutes.




I didn't really have high expectation on this but it surprised me as it was really soft and fluffy.




This is potato cheese ball. We didn't finish it. The price at RM10 for 3 pieces is not really worth it. I guess it tastes better when served hot?




Hokkaido Cheese Toast, we would recommend this.




My bro is not the type of person who likes toast and bun. Surprisingly, he liked this. The cheese can pull really long.




As we were waiting for cheese toast, we noticed there were customers lining up for this. Out of curiousity, we also joined the queue.




The price is a bit pricey, RM8 for a fried kueh tiaw with duck egg. The portion is little. Luckily the taste was good.




My bro bought this Taiwan minced pork rice 嘉一台湾卤肉饭 again. Add-on braised pork skin. This time the rice was well-cooked.




My bro bought this pork satays. I had no idea which stall he got it from. It was really good taste, juicy and tender. Dip it with chilli sauce, it should goes well with rice, slurp! Highly recommended.




This is my bro's favourite, curry fish balls.




I wanted to try out the 24K Gold ice cream. When I walked up to the stall and saw the price, I turned rational and withdrew. RM18! What a rip-off.

Then I intended to try out this watermelon ice cream too. If the price is between RM8 - RM10, I can still accept the price. Walked toward to the stall, saw the price on menu RM12. Okay, turned and walked away. For me, most of the food price at Kuching Food Festival is not so friendly.




Kuching Food Festival will end on 19/08/2018. If you have not visited the place, please be fast.

Kuching Food Festival 2018 古晋美食节 (I)

Anyone here has been to Kuching Food Festival 2018? I went there with family last week. Too bad it rained when the crowd started to flow in, we had to quickly browse and randomly picked the food to buy. The variety of food was good, less duplication this year.














I don't understand why this fish (whitespotted wedgefish) is placed in the middle of the walkway. Is this appropriate? Clueless the purpose of displaying it.







I'm quite tempted to try this cone ice cream.






Not sure if this is the same vendor I bought the oyster pancake last year. The guy mentioned the waiting time was 30 minutes, I decided not to waste my time to wait.







If not mistaken, there are two stalls selling Souffle pancake. It's quite a new thing in Kuching.






We patronized this stall last year. This year we bought from them again, however... I got quite let down with the undercooked rice.




I bought oyster pancake from this stall. The oysters were not as juicy, the size of oyster is less than a thumb size. Overall the taste was good. We had to queue in the rain.




The can drinks were on stock clearance offer, I can't recall how much my bro has paid for it. RM10 for 5 cans? Its expiry date is August 2018 though. Total we have spent for all the food below was about RM100.




I might visit again to try out different food. Will blog it if any. Click HERE to view all my posts of Kuching Food Festival.

Hainanese Chicken Rice 理想海南鸡饭 @New King Wood Cafe 新金屋茶室, Bintulu

Address: No. 46, Ground Floor, Jln Abang Galau, New Commercial Centre, Sarawak, 97000 Bintulu, Sarawak (Next to Mastama Inn)


I was back to Bintulu my hometown last month. In Bintulu, you can find nice kampua and Foochow fried noodles. Limited food choice for lunch, and this Hainanese chicken rice is my brothers' favourite. They say it's the best chicken rice they ever had. The previous vendor has sold his secret recipe to the existing vendor, so the taste still remained the same. I have been there before, but I'm not really a fan of chicken rice so to be honest..  I can't tell the difference, except the chicken rice in Bangkok.










Overall the chicken rice was taste great. The meat was moist and medium soft, a plus point with a small bowl of soup. You can only order stir-fried vegetables so at least you will have a balanced meal.
