Kuching Part 2

The next day we had breakfast in Kim Yu Li Cafe at 3rd Mile Pasar. It's opposite Dunlop and Silverstone. Hahaha! That's the best directions I can give.

We tried Kueh Chap. It's all pork meat. We did not order the ones with internal organs. For small it's RM 4, medium is RM 5 and large (they call it zhen) is RM 6. Obviously we took the small bowl. Those who like Chinese food will like the taste.

Kueh Chap small, RM 4

For lunch, we had Kolo Mee. I don't know the shop's name but it's at Green Road, near Gosaylak grocery shop. One bowl costs RM 5. Xu Vin suggested that we try the Kolo Mee with pork oil, which gives the red tint on the noodles. It was yummy and filling on a rainy day.

The picture below shows the difference between the noodles with and without the oil.

Kolo Mee, RM 5

We also ordered Teh C Ping (Ice Teh C).

We also went to Song Kheng Hai Bazaar.

We ordered:

• Sotong Kangkung (RM 3.50), 
• Belacan Mihun (RM 3.50), 
• White Lady (a dessert, RM 2), 
• Matterhorn/ Metahorn (a dessert, RM 2)- It sounded like a beer name to me (Beach Life's Cape Horn) but my cousin said it sounded like a name for a Transformers robot.
• Kong Pia (RM 0.80 each)- sounds like scolding someone, no? :P

For someone who doesn't like sotong and kangkung, Sotong Kangkung is delicious. Not joking here. I don't like sotong and kangkung but I like this dish.

Sotong Kangkung, RM 3.50

Belacan Mihun is nice but because I am not used to belacan, it's going to be biased if I describe any further. Of course it's edible! My cousin and her friend liked it and I ate some of it.

Belacan Mihun, RM 3.50

We ordered two desserts called White Lady and Matterhorn/ Metahorn. Not sure of the spelling for the latter but it sounds like that. Both are good but if I am asked to choose one, I'll go for White Lady.

This is because I am a sweet-tooth, not a sour-tooth (if the word exists!) Matterhorn/ Metahorn has a bit of sourish taste.

Matterhorn/ Metahorn, RM 2

The picture above shows Matterhorn/ Metahorn. I feel like I am introducing a robot, like how they introduced Megatron under the dam. You can see that there are watermelon cubes, cendol, cincau jelly, ice (duh) and lemon. Sour sour.

White  Lady, RM 2

Here comes the White Lady. All bow down please. Ok, now you can stand up. This dessert is more milky and sweet. I like. I like. I like. :D No need to say anymore.

Kong Pia, RM 0.80 each

Last but not least, my new favourite food. Kong Pia! Can tell people off with this word and it's friendly too because it's a name of a food. Nyehehehehe. You Kong Pia! I was told it's a food from Sibu. The one we ordered had pork filling but there are other fillings to such as kaya.

To me, it's similar to Char Siew Pau.

And a last picture to recap what we ate.

Kedai Kopi Fook Yuen @ Damai Plaza, Kota Kinabalu

Good news for bread lovers and tea lovers ! In this coffee shop you can get the best Teh-C and Roti Kahwin (Coconut spread/ kaya with butter) in KK, Sabah. I had this before previous trip at Fook Yuen at Asia City branch opposite Cititel Express. The drinks at that branch was not as good compared to the first outlet at Damai Plaza and the Roti Kahwin tasted good at both branches.  

 The softness of the bread and the thick butter together with the kaya combination tasted so great. In my own opinion, this bread softness was so much better than the one in PappaRich, Klang Valley.

Hot Teh-C cost RM1.90 and Teh-C Ice cost RM2.50. I'm a big fan of tea. I can really taste the tea with the smoothness of the milk of their Teh-C.

This is "San Yuk Pau", which is pork pau, are sold at the same row as Fook Yuen. There are 5 coffee shops on the same row right opposite and beside each other so you can try out a lot food there including this San Yuk Pao. I don't really like this Pao in KL because for me it was too salty when I ate it but this is very different version of it. After eating it was just nice for my stomach and not too full.

The coffee shop is located at that red umbrella and remember to sit according to the color of the chairs and tables because there are other coffee shops around Fook Yuen. It is a covered area so it is not too hot. 

This Yau Char Kuey for hi-tea session. I forgot the price but we ordered only one piece and it was not the ordinary size we have in KL. It is considered huge and looks like a butterfly if you view it from the top. This is from a coffee shop opposite Kedai Kopi Tenom which is the same row and it is easily spotted.

Don't underestimate the texture of this fried noodle and this noodle is called Tuaran Mee (RM7.50) . Is is yee mee? It is fried yee mee. It is very hard to describe but the taste was nice (Adeline: Awesome ah!) You should try this and this is located at Kedai Kopi Tenom .You can order over to Fook Yuen to eat and this is one of the Adeline's favorite food in KK.
