Managed to pay a visit to Pullman Kuching recently. This post will show you the eateries available in the hotel.

There are two restaurants in Pullman Kuching:

Puzzle offers an al fresco dining experience with international and regional dishes.

This should be Nu Er Hong, a Chinese restaurant with an open concept kitchen.

If you just want to hang out with your friends, you can do so also at the following places in the hotel:

Deja Vu, a cosy lounge at the lobby.

Cafe Ch@t allows you to get connected while enjoying you pastries.

Liquid, the hotel’s superlative poolside venue with a DJ entertaining the crowd every weekend.

How can hotel be complete without ballrooms for banquets or functions right?

This is taken at one of the ballrooms. Did a rough estimation of the tables, they can roughly fit more than 1000 people here.

For reservations and enquiries, please call 082 222 888 or email to h6332@accor.com

Previously, Double Woodhouse Kopitiam is located at Padungan, somewhere opposite the police station. Very easy to spot, it’s at the corner. Last time this place was known as Bella. Before Bella, it was known as The Wishing Well.

The interior, the place is quite narrow.

The drink menu is very extensive and has many fancy drinks on offer and the prices are all right.

Anyway, let’s see what kind of food that we had ordered:

Chicken Chop(RM9.50)

Tomato Kueh Tiaw(RM4.50)

Fried Bihun(RM4.50)

Fried Wanton(RM5)

Steamed Sio Bee(RM0.60 each)

French fries

This is the back of the menu with their contact details.

Lastly, WiFi is available there.

Do you know that Tao is no longer in operation? It’s replaced by 175° Café  now. In fact it happened few months ago. I know… We’re late.

There’s free WiFi  available.

The decoration at the staircase leading to the second floor.

A bigger area is available for larger group in the second floor. You might have to make a reservation for this spot.

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?
