Sing Hiang Hing Foodshop is located at Lundu Market, the second floor.  Not hard to locate the place, Lundu is not a big place, don’t worry about getting lost when you are there.

A plate of meat(pork, chicken and egg) for three.

A bowl of vegetables soup for three but the soup came with pork meatballs, prawns and livers in it. It’s not pure vegetable soup.

A plate of prawn is RM18 for consumption of 3 people.  Salt Prawn(translated literally based on the Chinese name) is the specialty of the shop. It is highly recommended by the locals.

Total spent on this meal was RM32, excluding the drinks from other shop.

I’m sure some of you that have been following sarawakian.net all these while know that Sharing Planet is no stranger to sarawakian.net. Do you know how Sharing Planet started? I’m sure many of you don’t know about it. So in this post, I’m going to share it with you.

Sharing Planet is the brainchild of Kent, one of the owners. Kent loves to travel. He’s an avid backpacker and photographer. He likes to take lots of pictures when he’s backpacking and when he’s back home, he will definitely share his photos with his friends.

Back then, digital photography was not heard of. He would be sharing his photo albums with friends at home. He found it difficult to share the stories behind the photos to his friends as everyone was flipping different photo album.

When digital photography came into his life, it made it easier for him to share his photos using computer. Still, he was not satisfied as the excitements were not really there. There’s something missing.

One day, an idea struck him when he went to do volunteer works in Taiyuan, Sanxi, China. He thought that he should set up a restaurant surrounded by nature, install a projector and screen in the restaurant. This will solve his problem in sharing his trips’ photos with his friends.

After 3 months of preparation works with his another 3 friends, finally Sharing Planet is born. The abandoned land next to one of his friends’ house is now Sharing Planet. The building is made from wood without using steel or glass. Everyone contributed something from their own house. The furniture, lighting fixtures, the pond, the curtains etc. have story of their own.

Very interesting don’t you think so?

Sharing Planet currently added some new items into the menu. Let’s see some of the new food added in the menu:

Sharing Giant Chicken Burger-RM15.80

It is really GIANT! This is one great dish to share with your friends. The diameter of the burger is 6-7 inches and the height of the burger is about 3-4 inches. The burger bread is specially custom made for this. You can find cheese, hams, onion rings, salad leaves, tomatoes and so on in the burger. Forget about your fork and knife, just eat it using your fingers. It tasted better and fun this way.

Ice Cream Chicken Chop-RM13.80

You don’t get this elsewhere, only Sharing Planet. Hot food with cold food? I’m sure you will think that both are odd combination. In fact if you’re in Tokyo, Japan, this is very common and popular dish there. The way to eat this is by mixing the ice cream with the sauce and then savours the mixture with the chicken meat. However, if you don’t fancy doing so, you can find your own way of eating this dish. Be creative!

Done with the two new dishes, here are some of the all time favourites of Sharing Planet:

Special Grill Lamb Loin - RM25.80

Selected lamb loin topped with black pepper sauce with daily vegetables, grilled herbs tomato and mashed potatoes that many people like to order when they dine at Sharing Planet.

Carbonara - RM11.80

Spaghetti with creamy mushroom sauce, turkey ham and rich mozzarella cheese.

Sharing Planet is a great place to hang out with your friends. Order some food and share them with your friends. At the same time, share your life stories with each other too.  WiFi is available too. So you can share even more with your friends.

Isn’t the spirit of sharing great?

Tian Sian Steamboat comes complete with more than fifty types of Chinese herbs as its base. The soup base is all about natural flavouring that aids in improving health and well-being. Most importantly, it does not contain any preservatives.

The special thing about this steamboat is that they do not provide you with any condiment as the soup base is already rich enough and you do not need other things to spoil the taste.

You can choose to have the original, spicy, vegetarian or the combo (original or spicy) soup base. Small soup base(RM30) is available for those with 3 or less people or the large soup base(RM35) for a group of 4 and above.

This is not your average steamboat place. It serves only premium quality ingredients, from its Taiwan specialty meatballs, to fresh ostrich meat and the many varieties of vegetarian ingredients.

Furthermore, it’s air-conditioned.

You should also try out Tian Sian Specialty Tea, a special in-house brew.

If you are not into steamboat but into coffee, Tian Sian serves the finest Bristot coffee beans imported from Belluno, Italy. Their expresso coffee bean, the Bristot Tiziano contains 80% Arabica and 20% Robusta blend.

The restaurant is open daily for lunch and dinner from 10.00am to 11.00pm serving a la carte menu for steamboat. Reservations can also be made for private functions and the restaurant is able to cater to a maximum of 100 persons.

I’m sure many locals know where is Sematan Palm Beach Resort. It’s about 1 and half hour drive from Kuching. If you stay there, your stay will include buffet dinner and buffet breakfast.

If you do not stay there but you still want to dine there, you can see the prices in the above photo. Not sure how they charge on weekdays though.

The interior.

Here are the food we had when we were there:


Was expecting to have some seafood but they only served fish that night.


You can also make your own rojak and ais kacang.

The salad, fruit and cake corner.

It’s a good thing they provide dinner and breakfast for the guests as it’s very dark to drive out there to hunt for dinner at night.

Sam Chai is located at Sematan. This is one place you can get seafood in Sematan. Sematan town is small, it’s very easy to find. It’s located at the row of shops facing the jetty. Sematan is about one and half hour drive from Kuching.

Let’s see some of the food that we had but too bad we didn’t order any seafood that time due to some unforeseen circumstances but everyone that dined there ordered lots of seafood for lunch. Sematan is known for its very cheap and affordable seafood and some people would just drive all the way here to have seafood.

Fresh coconut juice.

Chili for the kueh tiaw and noodle we ordered.

Taugeh Fried Kueh Tiaw (RM2)

Taugeh Fried Noodle (RM2)
