Char Kuey @ Pontian

Another Char Kuey related post. Seems like I love to eat Char Kuey, but that's not the truth, my mum love it so i'm only tasting them for her and I'll buy the good ones for her...

This time, this Char Kuey is at Pontian. It's located at a back alley but it is a building on its own. I'll get the exact address the next time i go :P


Previously, the Lim Kee Char Kuey was of salty genre but this Char Kuey is sweet.. if you're someone who's into sweet stuffs, then this Char Kuey is definitely your cup of tea.








There are also other stuffs there, fried oyster but i was too full to try that, next time mayb.

Just wanna share something other than food.. but quite related to it as Stich drawn by me is drinking a glass of Soda!
That night, we wanted to grab something light and we happen to be at Mount Austin, so Q mo and me took a spin and saw this cafe selling Japanese Light Bite. If not mistaken, it's called the Wafu Cafe, right in front of Sunway College. I suspect it's a branch from an ala-Japanese Restaurant at Pelangi. Well, the food there has lesser choices than what the main branch offers but it was well-to-do. We had Japanese Curry + soda and it costs RM20. Not bad but not too good either to deserve a post here :P


Char Kuey @ Kuching

Another food to recommend if you ever go to Kuching is the Char Kuey at a hawker center. It is located near town, behind the streets which has biscuit shops and cafes. You can see a cat statue before entering the road from town. I'll get the location uploaded ASAP.

There're few stalls here, majority of them sells local food, Tomato Mee, Char Kuey, Kong Piah, Sotong Kangkung, Belacan Mee and of course their own dessert. One stall which made me go there everytime i go to Kuching is this Char Kuey stall, Lim Kee. The Char Kuey is more of the salty kind than sweet. It's also cheap.. what i can say is it's really value for money. However, please be patient as the stall tender are of two elderly, they only hire 1 young lad to serve the food and collect the plates. Afterall, good food are worth the wait. :)




There's also dessert stall at this hawker center. The two bowls of dessert shown on the pics are Mentahon and White Lady. Both are special and can only be found at Kuching - unless if you know where else I can find them. I would highly recommend them to those who enjoys snacking during tea break!

Sarawak Open Air Siow Bee

Yea~! Somewhere out of Johor Bahru.. It's Kuching, Cat City. Went there on 16-20 September for Q Mo's brother's wedding. Of course, the glutton me will take this opportunity to try out those yummys they have there. This blog post is specially dedicated to Open Air Siow Bi. Siow Bi is known as Siew Mai here at Dim Sum shop. it's simply a round thingy made of meat and wrapped with skin used to wrap dumpling. Not so sure though, but that's what it looks like. I've also took pic of Sarawak Kolok Mee which also can be found at that market. No harm trying that out if you're already there coz it's quite delicious too~!




Close up shot of Siow Bee

It's relatively cheap if compared to what we have here in JB. Only RM 0.60 per piece and way much bigger than our Siew Mai here. Must TRY!

Location wise, I'm not too sure where it is located but it's near town. A google map is attached for your reference. But if you're looking for something extra hygiene there, then don't bother making the trip. This shop owner smokes while selling the Siow Bee.. Q Mo says, perhaps that's what makes the Siow Bee delicious >.<
