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…

Kuching Food Bloggers Gathering @ Village Fast Food

I can understand Miri having certain edges over Kuching, but when I found Timez in Limbang, I was almost hopping mad. Then I ordered the most sinful thing they had on the menu. If I’m only going to have this when I visit another part of Sarawak, I might as well make it worth my while.

Timez Coffee & Crepes

The cafe scheduled the review at a rather awkward time. Normally I’d bring colleagues, but 4pm is rush hour in the newsroom and people who are available during that time are far and few in-between.

I snagged Aaron (because he SMSed me the day before to let me know he’s back in Kuching and I figured a college student might be free in the afternoon) and Isaac (because I had a hunch he’s in town and he doesn’t work a 9-to-5 job). It’s nice to bring random friends when situation permits.

The hideously spicy mixed beef noodles went off in my mouth like a bomb. Aaron said it was spicy but “not too bad” shortly before the comedy with my “wimpy continental tongue” ensued. Isaac, who arrived later and missed all that, sucked it up without any reaction while Aaron and I watched expectantly.

Isaac: Hmmmm…
Me: I can’t believe he’s not reacting to any of that!
Aaron: [stares hard] He’s turning pink.

They have pretty good food there. Go read Aaron’s review here and check the papers in the morning for mine.

I’ll actually be on holiday with the rest of you guys on May 1st, in case anyone wants to do anything interesting. Otherwise, I’ll just stay in bed.
