: : May Lin’s Last Meal in Kuching, Sarawak : :
It was on Saturday that we had our last meal with May Lin who was going back to Penang after spending a few days in Kuching, Sarawak. So, the few of us trooped down to Hai Pa Wang to eat some delicious crab since she didn’t have time to eat it during other days. Now, this was our lunch and basically, the last time I ate so much carbohydrates. Who was at the lunch? Well, there was me, May Lin, Min Yen and Tim.
The vegetable was standard fare. As usual, we ordered midin @ young fern but this time, we had it cooked in some garlic and rice wine. Yeah, we went gaga over this veggie because it tastes great and very different from the other types of vegetable available. Plus, May Lin couldn’t get this fare over in West Malaysia so she was enjoying every taste of it!
This is the seafood udon. We actually wanted to order another type of udon dish but didn’t recall what was the name of the dish. Instead, we had one that look a lot like Cantonese style cooking. However, it still tasted very very good and we all finish the whole lot of it. Me especially since I will not be eating carbohydrates for awhile anyways. More on that later.
This is May Lin with the black pepper and honey crab. Sorry May Lin but this was the only picture that I had with the crabs so guess you get a free shot at being famous on mum-mum! Notice how big the plate is? Nearly as big as her! Hee hee! Anyway, we had 4 crabs because we thought the crab would be small but NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! It came out really big and we were struggling very hard to finish the crab. Couldn’t quite taste the honey but definitely could taste the black pepper. One things for sure, the chef was very generous with the black pepper and the sauce. The crab came out tasting pretty good and we did managed, in the end, to polish the entire plate.

Now, if one wants to eat at this restaurant for dinner, please do call up for a reservation. They are very very PACKED at night so it’ll be difficult to find a free table. However, lunch is a different scenario and one can just pop by and eat the food. And you know what? I’ve never seen a waiter in the restaurant. A lot of waitresses but no waiters. Hmmm…
This was my last carbohydrate meal for the day. Or rather, for a very very long time. In an effort to lose weight (famous last words), I’m now back onto the Atkin’s diet which I did for about 3 months last year right after Chinese New Year. It’s not easy but so far, still at it. The tough bit is making sure that one doesn’t accidently eat a piece of bread! Have also signed up with Unisense to see whether I can lose weight or not. So, let’s see then.
