Bla bla bla...

NO! I'm not talking crap this time... Its a restaurant in Kuching which includes Koi Ponds next to the stairs so that if you ever felt hungry and find the menu tiring, ask the chef to fry the fish... [But, who would eat a fish that has plenty of bones and basically may cost your all your arms and legs?]

Before we start, I would like to say that some of the images are those to which I 'hijacked' for another site, sixthseal. I wouldn't have if I had my camera with me... But some of the pics I took with my handphone...

When you enter through the backdoor, [its better because your like entering a tropical island resort with palm trees and so on...] there's a pond with stone pavements. Better not to bring toddlers coz they either get themselves wet or they are afraid to cross the watery gap.

Since my friend, Joash booked in advance, we got to escape the prying eyes of people walking past the front door of the restaurant. Instead, we got the perfect seat to throw water balloons at cars, in the first floor of the shop, next to the window, watching the urban 'river' [traffic]...

[The front door... As you can see, better book in advance because its usually packed...]


I would personally say that this a nice place for something sub-fancy-pants kinda occasion, like first dates or something cause the ambiance is kinda nice and its not too quite [escape awkward silent moments ~~] and the lighting is romantic enough, [Asian standards, coz we like to see what we eat.] and it has many visual stimulants, i.e. pictures to start a conversation.

[conversation piece, like..'what do you see in that piece of art?']

[The building is very old. Retro yet trendy.]


Ok, ok... I didn't do anything of that sort in there. It was a homecoming/farewell dinner with some friends of 6.

Now, the food. First thing first, how come restaurants nowadays like to use big-assed heavy plates when the actual food is only 50% the surface area of the plate??!!

[Plates are big and heavy.. Good for smashing people's head in case your date is a jerk...hahaz..]


The simple menu that we ordered....[If I can remember..] Note that these names are not the actual name of the dish.

1. Thai-styled Chicken with lemoned jelly-fish


2. Midin (a type of edible fern that is a
delicacy in Sarawak only) fried with red wine


3. Deer meat sauted in black pepper sauce


4. Grilled salmon with cream cheese.



[Since I was busy eating, I didn't take pics of the food. Besides, who in the right mind would stop an army of hungry people from eating??]



Well, the food that truly stands out are the Deer meat and Salmon. The rest are like those that you get in a normal chinese restaurant.



The servings are enough for six. I mean only enough.



How much does it all cost? RM81. Consider the salmon, its quite a reasonable price.



What to do after a dinner like this? Well, consider meeting some of your other friends at Bing!'s
