The second branch of Hong Noodle House is at Padungan. Just opposite bing! You can easily spot it.

The food taste is slightly different and the presentation is definitely different from what you get at the branch at Wisma Saberkas.

Let’s see what they have there:

As usual, this is the chili oil you will definitely get there.

Champagne Pork Rib Rice(literally translated from it’s Chinese name), but in the menu it’s called Fried Pork Rib Rice which is the same name as the one above it. Therefore if you want to order, you have to know either the Chinese name or the number. For this case, it’s number 27. Price is RM5.

Roast Duck Noodle(RM4.50)

Pork Porridge(RM3.50)

Crispy Pork Intestine(RM8)

Fried Tomato Noodle(RM4)

Shredded Pork and Chili-Sauce Noodle(RM3.50)

Teochew Porridge Set(RM4)

Teochew Kueh Chap(RM4)

Mister Bean is located at Petanak area. It’s just opposite Popwave and the ex-Bestberry(now known as Zest).

Actually Mister Bean started business for quite sometimes already, if not mistaken I saw it last year end.

They specialised in soya milk and beancurd or people locally known it as “tau huey” or “tau hua” or “tau hu hua”. Their soya milk and beancurd are made from high grade bean from Canada, 100% pure and no preservative(at least that is what stated on the banner).

Xin Ciau Beancurd(RM2.80), there’s two type for you to choose, cold or hot. It took a bit of time to get accustomed to combination of xin ciau(aka xian chao or cincau) with beancurd. It’s not too sweet. If you prefer sweeter then go for the hot beancurd as the ice had diluted the syrup sweetness.

The wedges is RM5 per plate. Portion a bit small don’t you think?

Chocolate soya milk(RM2.80). If not mistaken, the chocolate should be chocolate syrup.

Besides soya milk and beancurd, they also serve various noodles and rice. Maybe you can try it out if you are looking for something healthy for your tea break.

They serve no pork but not Halal.

Here’s a list of HALAL eateries in Sarawak that we got from Jabatan Agama Islam Sarawak’s website. For full and updated list, do click on the link. You can also get to see what they serve in the eatery.

However, we noticed that some of the eateries that we saw with the HALAL certificate displayed aren’t listed in the website. You can always contact Jabatan Agama Islam Sarawak to confirm as they might have not updated the list in the website, only do so once in a blue moon.

We had visited some of them, you can try to make a search to see whether we’ve been to those places already or not. If you can’t find anything, it means we haven’t go there yet. Hopefully this little list will help you in finding out which place in Kuching or other parts of Sarawak are Halal so that you can enjoy the food without much worries.

We are in the process of compiling the HALAL hotels list. Stay tuned.

Posted about Chong Qing Steamboat before but this time this post is to let people that that they had moved in fact long time ago to RH Plaza and so how different it is now. Just click on the link to the previous post and you will understand how I’m trying to convey.

The soup. You can choose the level of spiciness, low, medium or high or I think you can even go from event spicier one. Try to request for it if you dare.

Now you will be greeted with these , it gave us a shock and was disappointed. See picture below.

Used to be served with this but no more.

How can steamboat be complete without the ingredients? These were what we ordered.

The meat looked different too. Click on the link in the first paragraph and you will see the difference.


Total bill was RM52 for 4 people excluding drinks. You have to pay for the drinks when they are sent to you.

If you are wondering where is the exact location, it’s just next to “Pai Jia Le” or if you are standing facing Yuan Wei BBQ Steamboat, look to your left, it’s located at the coffeeshop there. I don’t know the the coffeeshop name though. However once you see the table with a hole in the middle, then you won’t get it wrong.
