A Sunday lunch at my desk, with a beef ham sammich from Delizze and a mug of warm 3-in-1 coffee. Not pictured is my container of watermelon and grapes. Simple and satisfying for days when you can’t be bothered to go out.

Sunday Lunch

Coz we totally need another blogger posting about something that’s been done to death by now. Well, this post is mostly going to be photos, with minimal commentary, because I am determined to use my new Canon EOS 500D for something other than work.

There’s always a lot of things to shoot at the Kuching Festival. Although I swear every year that I won’t go, I end up having to go anyway because of work. This year haven’t taken me there yet, but I did want to shoot and eat something.

Yeah, pun probably intended.

One of the things I wanted to try is the durian puff and crepe. Maggie and I ended up buying the crepe but the puff (below) was probably a better choice, especially if you eat it immediately. I do have a photo of the crepe being eaten by Maggie, but such indecency is best reserved for Facebook.

Thanks to Wil for sharing the puffs. Here’s Maggie (clutching our crepes) and Wil (must smell before eat) in front of the durian dessert stall.

The following are a few random snaps before resuming my minimal commentary.

On the way out, we happened upon a map of the grounds and found that they do have dragon beard candy. Dragon beard candy is the one thing I always pick up at Kuching Festival but completely forgot about because we didn’t see it. After guesstimating its location, we set off to look for it.

…with little avail.

But we ended up in the games section, where there were more food stalls, and figure we’ll stumble upon it at some point. Maggie decides that she wants to do some shooting of her own.

She didn’t win anything, even if she was wearing my glasses after this.

We did eventually find the dragon beard candy but I forgot to take a photo of the stall. Here it is with half the packet eaten. We were chatting non-stop up to the point Maggie opened the packet and handed one to me. When it went into our mouths, they were just glued shut until half of it is gone.

I suppose you can call it a good end to a day off.

Kuching Festival 2010

Cream of Mushroom

Chicken Ala King

Hot Dog

Mushroom soup was a little on the salty side. Chicken was good and I believe, so was the hot dog.

Posting food photos in the middle of the night makes me hungry, which isn’t good. I’ll stop now.

Delizze @ Premiere 101, Take 2

Delizze is part deli and bakery, and part restaurant. Over in the bakery is a a selection of various gourmet breads, pastry and cakes. The deli has things like salami and ham, as well as salads (ready-made) and sandwiches to go. The croissant sandwiches look pretty generous and are below RM5. The mini pies are about RM3 and the raisin danish I got was RM1.50. Very reasonable. Also quite delish.

The restaurant section probably needs a bit more work and time, unless you’re willing to put up with slow service and unavailability of certain items. Here’s part of what we ordered (since I forgot to photograph the cream of chicken soup):

Above is the Roasted Beef Sandwich and below is Pasta Marinara. You have the option of medium or well done for the beef (I picked well done), and fettuccine or penne for the pasta (SY picked fettuccine).

The presentation of the pasta was surprisingly messy for a place so posh. I’m not particularly fond of the salty metallic flavour but this is not the first time I tasted it. I suspect I’m just not really into tomato-based pasta at the moment.

The Roasted Beef Sandwich was unremarkable until you add the black pepper sauce. Then the flavour really pops and makes it worth your money.

Drinks selection are of standard western concept restaurant range.

I walked out of the place with the receipt but managed to lose it. The pasta was about RM18 and the sandwich about RM12.

Delizze is halal, so the salami and ham and stuff are of the non-porky variety. However, Butcher’s Kiosk is just in the next block…
