Pullman Kuching is now open. It’s now one of the landmarks in Kuching. Very easy to spot, it’s located at the golden triangle of Kuching. Various places of interests are in walking distant and there are many other hotels surrounding it.

The new hotel houses two restaurants Puzzle, which offers an al fresco dining experience with international and regional dishes and Nu Er Hong, a Chinese restaurant with an open concept kitchen.

There is also a cosy lounge at the lobby named Deja Vu.

As for those who wish to get connected while enjoying their pastries, you could try out Cafe Ch@t.

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

Were you there at Big Apple Donuts, tHe Spring today? Do you know that they are having promotion today? Do you have the coupon for it? With the coupon, one dozen of donuts is only RM13, half dozen of donuts is only RM7.20. I’m sure many people will not want to miss this. Original price for one dozen is RM27, that’s a lot of saving there! It’s only valid today.

This is what I got yesterday from the newspapers.

As early as 10am in the morning, the queue was so long until Ta Kiong.

See how long the queue was?

Didn’t manage to get most of the new flavours though. They were having difficult time refilling the trays.

By the way, I just realized there’s no GST charged.

Did you get yours today?

Hari Raya Aidilfitri is known to be the time you can find various type of food from mostly the Malay community. However, since Malaysia is a multi-racial country, you can also find various food from other races being served to the guests too. That’s the beauty of living in Malaysia. We celebrate each other celebrations. various races and religions will come together under one roof to celebrate an occasion.

Managed to pay a visit to a Muslim friend’s house yesterday. Here are some of the food found at my friend’s house. Mind you, these are just a fraction only! There’s still more and if you manage to visit more houses, you will be greeted with various kind of food.

Usually on their first day, they will serve various main courses to their guests. Food are served buffet-style. After the first day, some will not be serving all these food anymore, some will. It’s all up to the tradition of each family.

Besides the main courses, there are also tidbits served.

There are also various cookies and biscuits available.

The following will be something you will surely see in every open house. The infamous kuih/kek lapis.




They are very colourful and come in various designs. Not only that, there are many types of flavours available too.

Those colourful kuih/kek lapis with various patterns or motifs are known as kuih/kek lapis Sarawak or kuih/kek batik Sarawak.

Hope you enjoy the food.

Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK), which opened its doors for the first time on August 8, is preparing for a wholesome Ramadhan experience covering a sumptuous buffet selection which changes daily.

The month of Ramadhan is a one that is reserved for reflection, devotion to God and self control. It is said, that only through fasting, can man understand the sufferings of others around the globe, and be enlightened with a new found appreciation of what they have. Through this, believers are reminded of their social responsibility to share and give to those who are in need.

Many look forward to Ramadhan because of what it represents, and also because of the food bazaar, where local and festive delicacies are sold under the same roof. In multi ethnic Sarawak, for the Muslims non Muslims alike, the latter is an annually anticipated event.

Over the years, Ramadhan has been marketed as a food fest, with the promise of break fasting to a varied spread. At the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK), they are offering a truly fulfilling berbuka puasa experience. BCCK’s team of chefs has in store, Ramadhan menus and which provide for a balanced dietary intake.

Their chefs will prepare all dishes with the freshest ingredients, adhering to stringent HACCP and Halal guidelines. Your family’s most memorable buka puasa will just happen in BCCK.

According to health tips from dieticians and doctors in general, refined carbohydrates or fast-digesting foods such as dates may be better taken at Iftar to rapidly restore blood glucose levels, after a long day of fasting.

Dates are an excellent source of sugar, fibre, carbohydrates, potassium and magnesium and have been recommended since the days of the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) as a good way of breaking the fast.

Taken from a sample menu of what their chefs have in store, imagine breaking fast with Tunisian, Egyptian and Saudi dates, followed by a refreshing serving of Air Kelapa Muda or Apricot Juice. A selection of assorted nuts, dried fruits and local kuihs will also be served.

In nourishing the mind and body throughout the month of Ramadhan, normal quantities of food from the major food groups: bread and cereal, milk and dairy product, fish, meat and poultry, bean, vegetable and fruit should be consumed.

In line with this, the Main Course in BCCK’s Ramadhan buffet (which changes daily) serves items such as Nasi Tomato, Kari Ayam Madras, Daging Rendang Tok, Ikan Goreng Masak Acar, Udang Goreng Cili Kering dan Gajus, Sotong Goreng Berlada, Gulai Lemak Sayuran, Tofu Sen Gen Masak Sayuran, Itik Panggang, Satays and Kambing Panggang.
