Tian Pian Hu
Location: Siang Siang, 7th mile, Kuching
Inside this soup, there lies various kind of different delicacies. Meat balls, fish balls, squids, fishes, seaweeds, chicken and pork meats, and some kind of mushy kueh teow.
This Kuching Tian Pian Hu’s soup has a lot of pepper taste and it is also very oily. The ingredients are also not that much compared to the price that I’ve to pay which is RM4. Also, with an extra RM1 they will add in an egg. The squids in this cuisine taste like….something RAW!!!
However, I was told by my friend that the Tian Pian Hu in Kuching was not the same as the Sibu’s. According to him, there are not much soup in this cuisine and also it has more ingredients in it and it also taste better.
Overall, it’s something not worth to try but you could try it if you want to taste what an imitate tian pian hu is like. :D

Total Price: RM300++ (9 teenagers with monstrous appetite)
GO UP
Event: Birthday Celebration
Total Price: RM300++ (9 teenagers with monstrous appetite)
Nothing special....just a fish chasing the squids. Fish eat more squids become tastier and then the fish will be hooked up by the fisherman and be taken to the Manhattan Fish Market and be served and eaten by us - customers.
However, the process of catching fresh and tasty fishes have some risks. The sea creature, such as in above picture, will harm those innocent but cruel fisherman's ships that roam around the sea. So BEWARE!!
The fishes will be served on this specially branded round wooden foodware (don't know what this is called)
Alright, finished with the 'talking crap' from previous photos. Lets begin with the sauce. Do you know that sauces are very important in Spanish foods? Opss....this is not Spanish foods by the way. The black colour sauce is the soy sauce and the white colour sauce on the right is the tartar sauce. The red colour sauce is none other than the sauce you were served when you ate chicken rice at the hawker stall - chilly sauce.
The Fisherman's Giant Fried Platter set (enough for 2 or 3 people). There are variety choices of scrumptious and crunchy sea foods in this platter. Including are fried prawns, fish, calamari, mushrooms with tasty chips and also garlic rice for those that yearn for appetite satisfactions. What I can say is that I love the fishes on the left of this picture. It has tender but crispy layer of fried skin and the most important is the fish is very fresh. When it enters your mouth, you will feel the abundant of fish meats splattering and swimming in your mouth while massaging your tongue and the sauce from the toppings will intrigue your mind to savour every bite of this well cooked fish.
This platter is served for 2 person and it has perfectly grilled fish, calamari, big prawns, oysters and of course garlic rice as a wholeness of this set. What is different with this platter and the previous is that this platter is grilled. Which mean its healthier and suit for those that are sensitive towards fried foods.
Before this two platters are served, the waiter and waitress will perform some exciting and eye opening demonstration to the customers. The prawns and fishes on the platter will be burned with a highly flammable Bunsen burner which will bring out the aroma from the foods on the platter especially the prawns and the grilled fishes with special sauce on top of it. Burning it with a high degree fire instantly will create a sense of smoothness on the fishes and blend the sauce and the grilled/fried fishes together as a whole creating a newly formed, perfect aroma which will entice everyone within 99999km radius.
Three sets of dishes from Manhattan Fish Market. By the way, we ordered peach drink. For your information, it is refillable. We do not know this until one of our friend went to refill. You can actually share a cup of drink and having unlimited refilling of the peach juice. (only certain drinks)
Clean and Clear. Shining and Sparkling. (**Cleaned the plate because we do not have enough $ to pay...**)

Mutated apple?
Just a simple post to show an apple that I bought recently that is very big and huge. It cost me RM2 for this Fuji apple which I normally bought it at a price of RM1 to RM1.50.
Observe the size of a typical cloth clipper on the right side and compare it with the size of the apple. Since I am quite free, I measured the size too. It is approximately 7cm height x 8.5cm width x 27cm diameter. Almost twice as large as a normal apple.
"An apple a day keeps the doctor away"
Are you asking why? Below are some answers:
“Apple is full with antioxidants that could reduce the risk of cancer and reduce damage to cells”
“Apples are known to reduce the risk of degenerate conditions such as Alzheimer’s”
“Apple is rich in vitamin C and E”
“Apples are fat, sodium and cholesterol free”
“Apple is full with fiber – good for digestion”
“Two-thirds of the fiber and lots of antioxidants are found in the apple’s skin”
So, EAT MORE APPLE!
Gigantic Meal
Location: Pai Jia Le (Baccarat) - Kuching
Since my friends and I have finished our test for this semester and we have about 3 more weeks before our final exam, we go out for a celebration. Just a simple outing at a restaurant name Pai Jia Le. Its a name for a casino game which translated to English as Baccarat. However, this place is actually a air-conditioned restaurant offering various dishes which could be ordered. The food price ranged from RM8 and above depending on your order.
Look at the size of the plate…We actually ordered 4 dishes with rice. There are Sarawak Midin vegetable, pork ribs, mamee chickens and salad squids. However, since we are all healthy and active teenagers, we need something more to satisfy our metabolism and enormous storage in the stomach. Therefore, we ordered an extra Kantonis fried mee above. It looked like the “Kon Chao Sang Min” in Peninsular Malaysia.

Keropok Segera Cap Ikan Bawal
A very scrumptious, aromatic, crispy and addicting junk food that my roommate import from Kelantan over the South China Sea into the Hornbill state entering the cat city
Since I just found a way to overcome the slow internet speed and the recent virus threat towards the university’s website and network, I tried to post a few blogs today. ^^
I’m currently using Windows Live Writer to write my blog and publish it directly. For your information, Windows Live Writer comes with your Windows Live Messenger. So, all those who often chatting using WLM would probably had already installed this software. Although I can’t use my Flickr account to upload pictures and link it to this blog for faster loading experience, but, hey! at least I can still blog despite the slow (almost zero) connectivity!
So this few blogs, there will be some glitches and errors especially the pictures posted and the picture’s blackquotes (the words beneath the pictures) .
