: : Cat City Noodles : :

Was supposed to post this up last night but didn’t have time to do so. What Wena and friends had for lunch on Friday the 3 of October in the year of the 2003 AD.

Pascale recommended Cat City Noodles to me a few weeks ago and that’s where we decided to have lunch today. The coffee shop is located near the Stutong Rounabout, along the way to Kota Samarahan and UNIMAS (Universiti Sarawak Malaysia). The signboard above the coffee shop shows a white cat with the paw up and the 8th cue ball. 🙂

The interior of the coffee shop was quite pleasant and pretty cute. A lot of paintings on the wall with many pictures of feet. 🙂

Reminds me of two eyeballs floating up. Gross thought, ain’t it? This was hot lemon tea ordered by Pat. Had sore throat, the poor thing. Hasn’t quite recovered from her bout of flu.

Fresh lime with sumboi (dried plum). A thirst quencher on a really hot day. One thing that I always noticed is the amount of fizz that appears at the top of the glass. What is going on between the lime juice and sumboi?

This was very nice. Think the noodles resembled the Japanese noodle, Udon, but not quite as thick. It was fish ball soup with red wine added in. Yummy. Not a lot of red wine was added in which was a good thing. Would feel too hot afterwards. Hee hee!

D had this : Ipoh Oyster Sauce Hor Fun. It’s kway teow noodles with some sort of sweet sauce mixed with oyster sauce. Is it suppose to be with oyster sauce? Never tried Ipoh Hor Fun so am not sure how it’s suppose to taste like.

The rival to Life Cafe’s Spicy Noodle. Only this time it’s known as Taiwan Spicy Noodles. Not as tasty and spicy as the Life Cafe version but definitely less oily. Pascale was raving about this being so tasty. Which it is actually.

I had the Pan Mee Noodle Soup. It’s not easy to find Pan Mee anywhere in Kuching. Only a handful of places have it. It was okay, more ikan billis (deep fried anchovies) than cangkuk manis inside. Still, the taste was essentially there. Need a bit more seasoning methinks but beggars can’t be choosers in Kuching.

Well, that was the lunch menu on Friday. Friday nite’s dinner was steamboat. 🙂 Another posting later on.

: : Chilli Peppers : :

Quick lunch at everyone’s favourite lunch spot.

I ordered the braised seafood noodles. Never ordered it before so wanted to try it out. A bowl of mee came with loads of gravy smothered everywhere.

After taking a bite, was wondering where have I taste this before? It wasn’t cantonese style. Neither was it the fukkien style of cooking. Foochow mee? Nope, that’s also on the menu as a separate listing.

Then it clicked! It’s sizzling noodles WITHOUT the hot plate. Very very very tasty. 🙂

: : Native Food Fair : :

Yep, there will be one this coming weekend.

Time

7:30 AM-1:00 PM

Location

CHRISTIAN ECUMENICAL CENTRE OF WORSHIP

ASSOCIATION OF CHURCHES KUCHING

Jalan Laksamana

I recommend that one goes really early in the morning i.e. before 10 am to get the good stuff. The traffic jam will also be pretty bad in that area so go early. Am going to look for ayam pansor (bamboo chicken) and daun ubi goreng (fried wild tapioca leaves).

There will also be a lot of other native food available. Try it out. You’ll be surprise at how good it actually tastes like. Am also going to bring along Granny. My usual food partner-in-crime.

Got an email from a collegue at work today with directions on how to get there.

UPDATE

Food Fairs organized by churches in Kuching are notoriously jam packed with cars and people. This food fair will have a LOT of people there so be forewarned. Parking space will be horrendous, even though there is a huge parking lot, it still will not be enough.

Yum yum yum! See you there people!

: : Thompson Corner, Tabuan Jaya : :

Gosh! Felt so hungry at lunch time. Su was also feeling faint from hunger. Never knew that could happen to anyone in the space of 4-5 hrs but there’s a first time for everything.

Becca ordered some popiah!!

Yeah, we pigged out on popiah. What’s popiah? Fresh spring roll a.k.a. egg roll. Same filling but not fried. Very tasty and nice. What was inside? Mangkuang, cucumbers, carrots and chopped peanuts. Had it with some delicious plum sauce.

Not the best in town but the hawker has definitely improved the taste since it opened last year. They’ve nearly got it right. Nearly but not quite.

Ah well. Who am I to judge considering I don’t even know how to make the skin of the popiah. :p
