just to show that i'm still alive...

that bugger As-X has been bugging me for the longest time to update my blog as the last update was on March 24, and it wasn't even blog material, just some paid post that I did... so okla... just to layan (应酬) him, here goes...

Kuching Chicken Rice (猫城鸡饭) @ Song Kheng Hai (宋庆海) hawker centre, probably one of the best chicken rice you can get for RM3.50. This one was RM5 instead as I tambah the sam-cham-bak (三层肉) and tu-teng (猪肠) in my order... and it was seriously good man... 

typical roasted chicken... it was during mum's birthday, and when my sister was back in Kuching for the Chinese New Year... apparently I only remembered to take a snap of the roasted chicken... the rest of the dishes all forgot to take pictures... -_____-'

lou-sang (捞生) @ Lok Thian Restaurant before CNY... 

*yea I know... way overdued picture... so many months ago liaw...*

Daniel & Anna went to Taiwan for their honeymoon, and got me a box of 凤梨酥... many many thanks...

lousy food, kong'ed iPhone and over-kiasu Kuchingites...

Han was back in Kuching to attend a friend's wedding, so us old friends went to this new place called Asian Recipe for lunch last Sunday. I ordered the Penang Asam Laksa (picture), which I seriously regretted. It didn't suit the taste bud at all, and was too sour to my liking.

appearance wise, it looked pretty pathetic already, 5 seconds later, the taste confirmed the lousiness of the food... and they have the cheek to charge RM5.50 for this kindda crap...


fortunately, I enjoyed the dessert that Han bought from Taiwan - the famous 凤梨酥 that I mentioned about last month when my parents too brought some back from their Taiwan trip.


After the lunch, went over to Saberkas to try get Han's iPhone fixed. what happen was that the bugger, after getting the phone unlocked, went to upgrade the software, which caused the phone to kena locked again. Sommore he didn't bring back the data cable, so the guy at the phone shop couldn't do anything about it as there were no iPhone data cables around.

a note for all to-be/current iPhone users: If you wanna upgrade the software, do it before having it unlocked. once it's unlocked, you shouldn't upgrade the software as doing so will cause the phone to lock itself.

Lastly, I drove past The Spring during it's first day of operation (Thurday, January 10). The traffic jam was horrendous, as if the entire Kuching population was trying to squeeze into the mega mall. The newspaper reported that over 110,000 people went to The Spring on the opening day, and that was about 15% of Kuching's 700,000 population.

That building in the picture is only one of the two buildings connecting to each other... Look at them cars causing all the jams!! There are 3 entrances into the mega mall area, and all 3 roads were jammed up, causing residents around The Spring, typically those living in Kenyalang Park (including ME!!!) a hard time getting in and out of the area...

Verdict: Kuching people damn KIASU lar... I'll give The Spring until after Chinese New Year, then the volume of shoppers going there would probably be reduced to the state that I could park my cars sideways in the 1200 parking-lot basement without causing a hoo-haa...

food stuff from Taiwan...

Apart from the Cafe Boheme that mum bought for me from her Taiwan trip, she too bought the authentic Taiwan sausages, which taste awesome as well as this amazing delicacy/dessert called 凤梨酥. The Taiwan sausages were quite expensive, and 2 packs cost around NT$500, which is about RM50...


had this during dinner yesterday... it's just different from the sausages/hotdogs sold locally,,, simply delicious!!! how I'd wish mum would have bought more...


this one is still in the fridge. these sausages are freshly packed, so it would only last for 1 month+, and we're recommended to chill it only rather than to store it in the freezer...


this is the thang people!!! looks plain and simple right?? well, looks can be deceiving... and I kid you not... the taste is TO-DIE-FOR!!!!

how much does it cost?? NT$20 per piece (RM2 each)... pretty expensive huh?? mum only bought 2 boxes back home... hemphh!!! If I were to be there, I'd have bought at least 10 boxes home... it's that good, and it's that worth it man... next time whoever is going to Taiwan, I'd definitely get them to buy this 凤梨酥 back for me...
