I’m sure many of you are familiar with Scoops. I was located opposite Hilton last time but they had moved to a new place, opposite Ju Shi Ling(居士林) or same place as the current Maybank and Alliance Bank at Jalan Laksaman Cheng Ho area. It’s very obvious from the main road with the two banks located at the same area.

They have air-cons in there but it’s not enclosed. Don’t you think it’s quite a waste of electricity?

The pictures on the wall are pretty cute and huge mirror is used as part of the shop’s decorations.

The comfortable seating area.

Triple Flavours (RM12), ordered Chocolate Mint, Vanilla Coffee and I don’t remember another flavour.

If you only prefer one scoop, it’s RM5; two scoops, it’s RM8.

Many people are disappointed with this new place, they prefer the old location and also complain about the quality of the gelato is not as good as it used to. How about you?

Frydays Chicken is a fairly new fast food restaurant in Kuching. Not many people know about this place. It’s located at Petanak next to a Chinese restaurant called Xin Chui Xiang(not quite sure about the spelling but in Chinese this is the name 欣翠香).

The interior is the same as other fast food chain, it’s self service. This means you have to order at the counter, pay at the counter and bring your food to your table yourself unless they don’t immediately have the food you order then they will send it to you.

There are various type of fried chicken set meals to choose from, the cheapest is RM6+, you can choose to have original, spicy or plum. Plum is their speciality. Basically the chickens come in original and they just sprinkle chili poweder or plum powder on it.

Currently they are having offer, Promo Wings(RM2.58), Promo Steak(RM4.98), and Chicken rice + Chicken Steak + Vege(RM5.98)

Here’s the Promo Steak (RM4.98)

No Pork, they don’t serve pork but only chicken. They provide pure water, healthy oil, 100% fresh and clean environment.

If you are coming from Shell direction, it’s on right; if you are coming from Petanak market, it’s on your left. Just be sure to take note on your left or right then you won’t miss it.

erdeka Palace Hotel and Suites is offering a special deal for diners during its anti-inflation campaign effective this month.

Under this campaign, the second person from a group of two people or every second person from a group of four people and above will be charged only RM10++ instead of the usual RM59++ per adult or RM25++ per child.

This is only applicable on weekends during the ‘Fresh and Fabulous’ buffet dinner at its Aurora Court restaurant every Friday and Saturday. The same deal applies every Sunday during the La Casetta Etoile’ buffet at Ristorante Beccari located on the hotel’s ground floor.

The ‘Fresh and Fabulous’ commenced last Saturday featuring local and international dishes such as pasta, sushi, seafood and grilled meats cooked a la minute to the diner’s liking by Aurora Court’s team of chefs.

This time, the Middle Eastern and Indian section is added to spice up the buffet spread. It will be manned by a Pakistani-born chef Ghazi-Ur-Rehman who will be serving up specialities such as spinach mughlai, mutton karahi, chicken shawarma kebab, BBQ stuffed chicken cottage cheese and many more.

Consumers will need to dig deeper into their pockets to quench their thirst as a box of bottled water is selling RM2 more starting today.

Sarawak bottled water manufacturers dropped the bombshell yesterday, saying they had no choice but to price their bottled water at RM10 per box of 500ml and 1.5 litre, from RM8 previously.

The fuel prices had cost raw materials especially plastic to double in cost from RM2 per kg to around RM5 per kg. Bottled water manufacturers in the state bought their raw materials for packaging from Peninsular Malaysia and overseas.

Bottled water is currently sold to retailers at a very cheap rate compared to some six years ago when a box would cost RM18.

The manufacturers assured consumers that the measure taken was not to make an extra buck but to cope with the fuel price hike.

The press conference was attended by 10 bottled water manufacturers from all over Sarawak while the rest, although not present, had given consent to the increase.

A box of 500ml bottled water holds 24 bottles while in a box of 1.5 litre, 12 bottles, which means manufacturers’ price per bottle now will be about 42 sen for a 500ml and about 83 sen for a 1.5 litre.

If the usual price of a bottled water is RM1 (500ml) and RM2 (1.5 litre), then retailers would be earning 58 sen and RM1.17 respectively in profit. However, this profit could increase if retailers were to hike their prices following this announcement.

Triangle Pub is a fairly new entertainment establishment in Kuching. It is located at Premier 101.

Just to show you some of the drinks that we ordered. Some soft drinks and alcohols.

Since it’s called Triangle Pub, most of the things you can find there are triangle in shape.
