Merry X'Mas & Happy New Year 2009

The year has coming to the end, and it is X'MAS Time!!!
Well, recently I had chances to go to some of the places which mostly have the X'Mas decor.

A huge X'Mas tree near the carpark of Crown Square, Kuching.

X'Mas lighting decor at the entrance of Crown Square.

Big Blue X'Mas tree in front of The Spring, Kuching ( Celcom X Pac Promo Event).

Jungle of X'Mas tree at Riverside Superbowl ( Riverside Bowling Center, Kuching).

Rounded X'Mas tree at the lobby of Hilton Hotel Kuching.

The Hilton management even put some decor at the entrance of "Washroom"!

At the Hilton Ballroom entrance.

Ready for the coming NEW YEAR?

Zhong Yuan Kitchen ~ Tested

Just tried out the "Zhong Yuan Kitchen" last night, at Premier 101 Commercial Centre.
Obviously by the name, not hard to notice it is a Chinese restaurant.

Here is the menu front page.

2nd page looks very promising, with the words "Customers 1st" in mandarin.

The outlook of the restaurant, the theme deco is X'Mas season. Even the waiters & waitresses are wearing Santa's hat to serve us.

Guess what is this for?

Da..da..Rice container..to keep the rice warm enough for the night.

The "small Kai-lan". RM10.
To me, it was a bit salty. OK lah if mix with rice.

I think this is called Spicy Four Season Bean...or something. RM10.
We 'ta-pao' this one back during 'half-time'. Taste, so-so.

This one is Honey Sauce Chicken, very nice. RM13.
Recommended!

The Seafood Corn Soup for 2, but I think this bowl is big enough for 5~6 pax . RM15.
Quite nice, but we were too full to finish it.
We 'ta-pao' this one also.

Total Bill including 2 bowl of rice + 2 drinks: RM55.50

It consist of 3 shoplots at the ground floor which accommodates more than 50 tables. According to a friend, the cafe is operating 24 hrs a day non-stop.

As for environmental-wise, alot of fans in place and the seat spacing between tables are wide enough that you won't feel stuffy or hot.

Pizza & More, Kuching - Round 2

Can't resist to go " Pizza & More " to try out their western food Friday night.
So, here are some photos for your pleasure.
Chicken Chop with brown sauce- Juicy meat, nice sauce. Some chips at the side would make it perfect.
Overall Score : 70

Lamb Shank - Well, I have to say I like lamb. And the special sauce applied is just..hmm..how to say..NICE! Again, chips please.
Overall Score : 75

Dessert : This one is the FOC (free of charge) from the Boss. Thanks.
To me, it's a bit sweet. But dessert is suppose to be sweet, right? Maybe I'm not the kind of 'sweety' guy.


Cheers.
