The local ice blended, or shaved ice, is still renowned and welcoming by the people despite the modern smoothie from various franchises that blooming. Although the hawker centre looks simple and quite a solitude from the busy city, it still manage in attracting not only the local but the tourists to worship here.

Wondering what is the simplicity in beating the fanciness? It is all about the taste that typifies the childhood or beautiful beginning. The stall owner aka the uncle, recommended me this ‘puppy love’ that contained only the boiled red beans, condense milk, and shaved ice, that exactly like what its name represented of, sweet and lovely, and simply affectionate. There are a variety of beverages that served here that come along with interesting names such as Avatar, Batman, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and lots more.

So, chill your afternoon with a bowl of shaved ice here, and stay fresh for the rest of the day.

The moment of waiting patiently by the roadside, watching the way of the Indian lad brandished the wok, frying the noodles ordered by me, and smiling the aroma created by the noodles was really a marvellous experience. Today, although without ‘action’ taking place in front of me, mamak fried noodle served by Madam’s Tang Café is still successfully hold my memory of how the mamak fried noodle should be.

The portion of the noodles served here is indeed very big, with the chicken wing that added to the gaiety of the plate. All the signature garnish to mamak fried noodle are presented, including lime, deep fried shallot, grounded peanut, tomato, bean curd, and fish cake. Since mamak fried noodle is a bit sweet in its authenticity, the squeezing of lime to the noodle is very much recommended as this can tender the sweetness and spicy from the chili.

As for the chicken wing, it is well seasoned, grilled, and juicy in taste. It gives you the urge of asking for another one.

If you don’t have a big or strong appetite, or simply longing for something in a not very big portion to keep the stomach warm before the proper meal time, Sakae’s mini donburi would be a great choice.

Among all, I order this Curry Katsu that looks interesting in the menu. The small bowl is served with the breaded chicken cutlet, Japanese curry that contained carrot cubes, pickled daikon with sesame sprinkled over it, and all these ingredients have become the topping of the steam rice, and finally enhanced with the spring onion.

Japanese curry is less spicy by its nature but might make people feeling nausea when taking too much due to its creamy texture. Therefore having a small portion is good enough to linger the interest for the next serving. As for this Curry Katsu, all the ingredients are delicious and tasted fresh. There are 3-4 pieces of chicken cutlets that are sufficient to take with all the rice.

For the gastronomic seekers, welcome to Tok Janggut Café as this is the place not only serves you with good food but is going to satisfy the space in your stomach.

Being quite crowded especially during lunch time, you will be entertained as soon as 1-2 minutes after taking your seat by the order taker. Food that served here include the Briyani rice that you can eat with chicken, mutton or beef, roti canai, mee rojak and lots more.

I order Briyani Ayam Madu (honey chicken served with Briyani rice). The dish comes along with papadum, pickled cucumber and dhal curry. The rice has its rich aromatic taste, not too soft or too hard. The chicken is well marinated, sweet and juicy in taste and the portion is real big. If you prefer the drumstick part, just mention to the order taker when you place your order. As for how distinctive this Briyani compare to the rest, just let your taste buds to tell you the answer.

Stalls that served porridge are commonly seen at food courts around Kuching, simply because one can eat it as breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Besides, this all-seasons delicacy are favoured by the Kuching folks, in which it quench the tired appetite during the hot day, and warm the stomach during the rainy, or merely give the tummy a break after overloading so much other food.

Ah Seng Porridge that located at the Premier Food Junction, Icom Square has offered this RM6 fish porridge with the fish fillet visible at the first sight when the bowl is put on the table. It’s a habitual step that the porridge is being fed first before stirring in the other condiments. Satisfying, the porridge tasted great, can even eat it on its own. Therefore, the spring onion, fried garlic and salted black bean pickle are just right to enhance the overall taste without stealing the sheen of the porridge. The fish fillet is fresh, and all the ingredients have blended this Ah Seng Porridge into a simple-yet-perfect lunch hour. Will definitely go back to the stall to try other porridge variety.
