Korean Ice-Cream

Introducing a-couple-of-months-old ice-cream parlor at Jalan Song, Kuching. It's a small outlet called Young-Su's Ice Cream, operated by a Korean family.

The ice-cream that they served tasted just nice, not too sweet and not 'diluted' but cannot compare to McD's.

We ordered:-


Yogurt ice-cream bbeongtuigi plate with choco syrup RM3.5 (note: bbeongtuigi = Korean rice cracker)


Can you figure the correct way to eat this thing?


Special ice-cream with sweets and fruits with strawberry syrup RM5 - come with rice cracker, salted cheese cracker, choco love letter, cubes of pineapple.


Patbingsu (Korean style ABC?) RM6 - not very nice especially the "chocolate look alike" topping, but it is actually red bean paste. I would still prefer Malaysian ABC :)

Inexpensive + Fresh

I have never once in my life eaten so much seafood before, but those cousins of clam were good!


Elephant Trunk 500g RM15 - named after its trunk, similar to elephant's, they also 'spray' water :P


Sapak or in Chinese, 沙白 1kg RM18 - some has sand inside :(


Steamed Live Prawn 500g RM28 - very fresh. Too bad, I don't fancy eating prawns cooked this way.


Cangkut Manis with Egg RM12 - include the stems, totally different from Sarawak style but it was good.

Lastly, the most recommended dish here is the aromatic Garlic Rice Rm6 (more than enough for 4 person). Strongly recommended!

Regrets:
Didn't take pictures of live Elephant Trunk, Sapak and Prawn and also the humongous lobsters :(

Eating place:
New Gaya Seafood Restaurant
Inanam, KK

Pho Bo

Pho Bo... that's the only words that I could recall from my Hanoi trip.

Came across a Vietnamese eatery as my colleagues and I wandered around looking for food. It was late afternoon, the good food were all gone and some shops have closed for afternoon break.

This eatery was graded A for its hygiene, but a colleague saw a huge rat in the drain outside the shop. Hmmm... maybe the rat accidentally stumbled upon this shop in that afternoon :P

Was starving and kinda missed pho bo, so we decided to have lunch there.


Pho Bo with Homemade Beef Ball & Spare Parts Rm5. Of course the 'spare parts' went into my colleague's bowl.

Although contained irrelevant amount of MSG, it is kinda similar to the one in Hanoi. Yummy!

My colleagues ordered:-


Fried Chicken with Vermicelli Soup RM5



Beef or Chicken Combination with Spring Rolls RM6.5

Takoyaki

At Tawau, we were introduced to Japan Boat Takoyaki, an outlet selling octopus ball or better known as takoyaki (very popular in Japan/Taiwan/Korea), located at their latest shopping centre called Eastern Plaza.


Is this the so-called JKR standard? :D


Ready for serving. Creative box.


Three pieces in a box for Rm3, the takoyakis are hidden beneath a pile of dried-fish shavings. In it were creamy diced octopus with some vege. Yummy!

Weird Combination

Have you ever thought of adding macaroni as ingredient for something else - I mean besides pastas?

Came across this weird combination during my recent trip to KK.

As I was checking out the food stalls at the Philipino Market, I noticed all the ABC stalls have a container of uncommon white-in-colour substance, which I find quite unusual.






As I took a closer look at the content, I saw macaroni soaked in iced water. OMG!

Curious by how it tastes, I stopped by one of the stall and ordered ABC Special.


Sabah ABC Special RM3 - very colourful, with crunched peanut, the usual sweet corn and lychee, and not forgetting, the macaroni - not very nice~

Well, I suppose the ABC Special should taste good, but I was unlucky to pick the wrong stall, so MKL theory is not applicable here :P

One Bite 'n' You're Hooked

I have never been a fan of 'Fish and Chip' but this outlet was seen at Warisan Square and One Borneo. Those are huge shopping malls, I guess the food must be good...


Hmm... looks good!


Unfortunately I found the food so-so only. It could be me and my taste buds, though. My colleagues, one of which is real Fish and Chip fan claimed the food was good. Guess I have no rights to comment further :)




Nice ambiance, though.


You could also fish them online here, as printed on the paper napkin.
