Chicwan Cafe is located at near Central Park, near Dong Guan. It’s not easy to spot as there are many kopitiams surrounding it.

The menu you see here is their lunch menu. Let’s see what we ordered for lunch:

Pattaya Fried Rice

Sweat & Sour Chicken Rice.

Chicken feet, if not mistaken it’s their specialty.

Sorry that I don’t remember all the prices.

Hanii’s Bistro is located at Jalan Chan Chin Ann, I’m sure you will not miss it if you are at the area. The bright colours, yellow and orange are very eye catching. It’s at the at same row of Sanga Japanese Food or Avon or at the building that housed Foochow Association.

Even the interior is using such striking colours. If I’m not mistaken this shop is operated by the Malay/Muslim and they have lots of Malay/Muslim patrons. I’m not sure it’s Halal or not as I forgot to find out about it but judging from the crowd, it could be.

The food choice is a lot! Not the drinks though.

Didn’t order the food though as we were only looking for a place for a drink. Ordered Teh C Peng and Honey Chrysanthemum Tea, each cost RM1.50.

Star Chef is quite a new place. They specialized in western and Asian cuisine. It’s located opposite of Chung Hua Primary School No. 3, the row of shops at the roadside.

We notice that they changed the menu from time to time. Last time they had western food, now they have American Breakfast, Teppanyaki and Tempura.

If you come a cross this post and found out that they had changed their menu, that explains why.

The interior.

The Tarot Cafe is located at the ex-Two Bananas.

The cafe started its operation on 24th December. It’s just after Shell at Jalan Keretapi which you will not miss as you can see it from the main road. We went there on the 1st day of opening and business was really good.

If you like Bestberry, you will like this also because the concept is the brainchild of the ex-boss of Bestberry. FYI, Bestberry now is under new management.

The crews were busy preparing drinks.

The wall is decorated with framed tarot cards.

Here’s two drinks from The Tarot Drinks menu. Every card represents different things. The drinks are specially formulated by Chris based on the cards. The one you see here is The Fool(RM7.90) and Strenght(RM6.90).

The Fool’s main ingredient is coconut milk. Lots of longans and sago pearls in there. This is not for those who are concerned about their health.

Strength consists of soda, lemon and shreaded mint leaves.

Tarot Yam Fried Rice(RM4)

Tarot Nyonya Curry Chicken(RM5.50)

The special thing about this place is that you can get Tarot card reading, it’s RM30/session. If you sign up as member, you get 10% discount each time you get your consultation.

Some decorations in the room.

Tarot card is something new in Kuching. However, this is not for the Christians or the Muslim to try. It’s sort of against the faith if I’m not mistaken. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Chris Tan is a certified Tarot card reader and she also provides Feng Shui consultation.

We were lucky to be given a demo.  The money on your palm will curve into a “U” if your money luck is good. However, right palm means money in, left palm means money out. If both sides make a big curve, then you will have problem collecting money, your money will come in as fast as it goes out.

Here’s the temporary member card. If you are interested please call Chris Tan at 016-8648435 or email her at tarot_chris[at]gmail[.]com. You must make an appointment for consultation.

I’m sure you are familiar with Green Bento, they send meals to your office or home. You can check them out in this site by searching for “Green Bento”.

Now you can dine in instead of asking them to send to you. WiFi is available here also. The menu is the same as the one you ordered to be sent to your office or home.

They are located at Jalan Tan Sri Ong Kee Hui (Old Central Timur Road), just roadside, opposite SUPP HQ. You can check out the map here.

If you still prefer to order, you can call these numbers: 012 8170073 or 012 8270073

On the 11th November 2008. Kado Cafe opened for business. It’s located at the last row of shop behind Public Bank Padungan. It’s located upstair of a coffeeshop.

One of the decors that greeted  us at the entrance.

The ambiance of the place is quite nice. There’s no air-conditioning, only ceiling fans.

The space is quite spacious and we noticed that many patrons ended up taking photos around the place because of the interior decor that is very unique.

This is another type of seating that you can opt for if you go there in big group.

Another area that is very popular among the patrons is the center section where there’s sofa and water feature under the platform and on the wall. If you want to sit here, our advise is make sure you reserve it first before you go as anyone will sit there whenever they have the chance.

They have separate menu for food and drinks. Let’s see what we had ordered:

Papaya juice(RM3), watermelon juice(RM3). See the two shot glasses there? They are syrup, if you prefer sweeter juice, you can add in the syrup.

Chicken Popcorn(RM8)

Have you ever wonder how it feels to dining on a toilet bowl, eating on the sink and even eating from the toilet bowl or bathtub?

We went to Queensbay Mall in Penang and stumbled on this shop and decided to try it out. It’s something unique that you don’t get in Kuching. This is a concept restaurant/cafe. There were so many people dining there, maybe it’s new that’s why.

T.Bowl Concept Restauran is the name.

Everybody sitting on the toilet bowl and enjoying their food.

I’m sure it’s something that attract the youngsters to come here. The price for the food is a bit on the higher end though.

One of the lightings in the restaurant.

The huge poster on the wall.
