Authentic Kuching Kolo Mee @ Bintang Food Court, Taman Kinrara Puchong
Sep 15th
My visit to Kuching about three years ago opened my eyes (and mouth) to some really nice hawker food like Kolo Mee, Sarawak Laksa, Sio Bee and Teh C Peng Special. Among all I missed Kolo Mee and Teh C Peng Special the most.
It’s difficult to find someone who prepares Kolo Mee like how they do it in Kuching, mainly because most of the recipes have been tweaked to suit the locals’ taste buds. If you frequent hawker centers in KL you will find many stalls claiming to sell Sarawak Noodle or Sarawak Handmade Noodle, only to be prepared by foreign workers. Although some of them are actually quite good, it’s nothing like the real Kuching Kolo Mee.
Then I read about a stall in Puchong that sells Kolo Mee which tastes like those in Kuching at headsteadi’s blog. I have always wanted to give it a try but somehow I’d just totally forgotten about it, until last weekend. Based on headsteadi’s clear direction and armed with a GPS, it was extremely easy for me to find the food court where the Kolo Mee stall is at.
This is the first time I saw a ‘Sarawak Kolo Mee’ stall in Klang Valley.. the rest just go by the name ‘Sarawak Noodle’. Click here to continue reading >
Malaysia-China Friendship Garden @ Kuching
Oct 18th
The Malaysia-China Friendship Garden, known as Taman Sahabat in Malay was built to commemorate the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Malaysia and China.
Located on Jalan Song in [tag]Kuching[/tag] South, it is inarguably one of the nicest parks in Malaysia. I was fortunate enough to visit the beautiful and memorable park with the help of a buddy of mine, Allen who took us on his car. For your information, entrance is free.
This big arch is actually another entrance to the park via the back. A signboard hanging on the arch has the Chinese words 马中友谊公园, which translates to the park’s name – [tag]Malaysia[/tag] [tag]China[/tag] Friendship [tag]Garden[/tag]. It is designed using China’s ancient buildings style.
Rock Road Seafood Restaurant in Kuching, Sarawak
Jan 9th
The first seafood restaurant I went during my trip in Kuching was Rock Road Seafood Restaurant. It is one of the recommended restaurants for seafood in our travel guide book. Since my buddy Prim3 and also my tour guide also said the food there is not bad, we decided to try it.
The restaurant has a website and honestly I think the design is terrible. They definitely need to redesign it, and I tell you, the waiter in the photo on the main page was the one who attended to us that night lol, I still can remember him.
