PORKIES...

a new eating establishment at Jalan Song - PORKIES has been a frequent place that my friends/gangs and I hangout at nights, either for late dinners/suppers or just some light snacks and drinks (be it Ice Coffee or Hoegaarden)...

got a Porkies member card for jacking up a bill over RM200...

 Grilled Chicken Thigh...  

Dinosaur Burger...

Classic Pork Burger...

Extra Long Sausage with bulls'-eye and mash potatoes...

1KG Porkies Giant Burger @ RM58, but if one can go for the challenge and finish it up in 20 minutes (burger only, fries not counted), then it's on the house...

pre-wedding in JB...

about a week after the wedding dinner in Kuching, my parents and I went over to JB becos my brader-in-law is a JB-ian...

checked into Dorsett Hotel...

went for dinner at Pekin Restaurant after settling everything in the hotel...

the main course - Pen Cai/Poon Choi, or for those who reads Chinese - 盆菜

that's the first time I tried this dish, and it did not disappoint one bit... in fact, it's seriously teh gooood....

some form of exercise - walking was necessary after the heavy dinner at Pekin Restaurant, so off we went to the biggest mall in JB - Tebrau City...

typical English breakfast at Dorsett - nothing much to brag about... ''-____-

went to have a peek at my sister & brader-in-law's new house in JB...

lunch at this dunno-where-kopitiam eatery place which apparently is famous for it's steam chicken (白斬雞)... something like the Fang Yuan Kopitiam (芳圆茶室) in Kuching lah...

took this family portrait shot before going into the this famous seafood makan place that overlooks our small island neighbour - Singakapoh...

I dunno what is this worm-lookalike thingy called in england *can anyone enlighten me pls??*

we chinese call them "Tek-Tang" in Hokkien though...

fried sotong...

damn big & fresh prawns cooked in some herbs & wine... pretty good lor this one...

and the signature dish - Chilli Crab... *thumbs up*

ok... according to Wiki (a place of information that cannot be 100% trusted), chilli crab is originated from Singakapoh... can someone verify this??

coz I heard that it might not be true...

the aftermath... so full until tummy omos burst can die ok... =.=''''

next up: the JB wedding...

makan makan @ Tarot Cafe

the signature dish Tarot Cafe Nasi Lemak...

Nyonya Chicken with rice @ Tarot Cafe...

I like this one... Fried Seafood Udon...

and finally, wash everything down with this huge pint of ice-cream Coke...

Sabah trip [Part 1]

we reached Kota Kinabalu in the evening, and after checking into the hotel, off we went for dinner at this seafood restaurant (forgot name) next to Promenade...

all seafood served at this restaurant is fresh from the aquarium located beside it, and the range of live sea creatures is huge...


ranging from the typical more eye-soothing huge-ass lobsters...


fresh oysters...


weird looking prawns (yea, I remember the waiter telling me that those were some prawn species)...


to one hell of an ugly fish, which according to the waiter, it's poisonous, but quite tasty... -___-


we ordered this belacan fried authentic Sabah vege... yummy stuff!


err... I forgot what were these called... you need to use toothpicks to dig out the meat inside, then dip it with some chili sauce...


fresh oysters... but it was a total let down... they were pathetically small and juice-less... I've had better ones even back here in Kuching...
apparently, for big fat juicy oysters, another seafood restaurant at the other end would be a better choice instead of this one...


abalone... now these were good stuff, and cheap too... only RM40...


after racking up a bill of about RM180, we headed over to the waterfront, ordered a couple of beers, sat there and enjoyed the cool sea breeze...

next post: the Mount Kinabalu climb... I almost died... -_____-
