Here goes another day of my food adventure. I always felt good being back in this cat city because it made me feel at home.
Read about myKuching Day 1 and Kuching Day 2 if you haven't. And I hope that the posts will help you find good food in Kuching.
On this beautiful morning, we actually wanted to head over to Chong Choon Cafe famous for its Laksa for breakfast but the odds were just not in our favour. The GPS leaded us to the middle of nowhere. Sigh. We were quite persistent and drove round the area for three times but just in vain. Then, we spotted this cafe packed with people so we decided just to follow the crowd. We hopped down to Min Joo Kee Cafe.
One thing that you must not miss when you visit this cafe is their 'Kopi'. The coffee was so fragrant and just stimulated taste buds. Coffee lovers be on watch out!!
Kolok Mee. Not bad but I still prefer Choon Hui's over this. However, they special part of this kolok mee is that you will find prawns inside together with fish ball and char siew(pork meat).
Kueh Cap is highly recommended!! You can taste the herbs instead of just plain soy sauce in their broth. Definitely worth a try.
This was their pork leg rice. Saw many people eating this so I just ordered one plate without rice to try. I was glad that it came out delicious.
Sarawak Laksa. This bowl of Laksa tasted a little bit different from the laksa I had before. There was less santan(coconut milk) taste. The gravy was quite rich and spicy enough for me.
Instagram worthy food!!!
I spotted a Char Kuey stall but sadly it was not open on the day I visited.
I did ordered their toast but forgot to snap a picture. The toast cannot beat Choon Hui's one.

After finishing our breakfast, it was still early and shopping malls were not opened yet. HAHA! So we headed back home to Chonglin Plaza and went for a walk to the opposite coffee shop and a China store. The coffee shop opposite, Sin Lian Shin 新聯成 very famous for its Kolok Mee but I sincerely felt that their standard deteriorated a lot in the recent years. I used to favour them you know. But a stall in front of Sin Lian Shin sells very tasty kueh, ranging from Chinese to Malay delicacies. I was lucky enough to randomly spot a very good looking pia which is shown in the picture below. The owner told me this is green tea red bean pia. It looked so good so I needed to give it a try.
Nicely baked. A little bit crispy and the filling was not too sweet. Has the very smooth feeling when eating and you would not be able to stop after a bite.

After lazing around there for a while, we then proceeded on our journey to Plaza Merdeka. Once we reach there, we saw this unfamiliar ice-cream shop and knew we had to taste it.
This is frozen yoghurt on top of waffle biscuits and 3 toppings. The ice-cream was not bad, has the sourness of yoghurt but the Moo Cow frozen yoghurt is still tops my list for best frozen yoghurt.

Plaza Merdeka
Settled for lunch at the food court in Plaza Merdeka. Loved the name of the food court which was food heaven. There were many choices of food available ranging from Japanese, chicken rice, sizzling, yong taufu etc.
Chicken Terriyaki Bento Set. Chicken Terriyaki was very delicious, on par with local Japanese outlets.
Yong Tauhu. Nothing special to me as all were frozen stuffs, not handmade.
Sizzling beef. This dish was a bit disappointing for me as it was not as tasty as it looks in the picture. Feeling fooled. Now I learnt my lesson to order if it is black pepper beef, if not it will only taste more like plain soy sauce like this one.
Hawaiian pizza which was reasonable and yummy. RM13 for this pizza .
Shopped at Plaza Merdeka till 5 p.m. and then sent my grandma to church which was just round the corner. After that, my parents agreed to my suggestion to high tea. Old Town White Coffee it is!! One of my favourite eateries.
Old Town White Coffee signature frizzy. My all time favourite aside from Starbucks. Although it costs a whopping RM10.50, give it a try as it won't disappoint you. Coffee with whip cream and oreo cookies, perfect combo.
Kaya and butter toast on left and condensed milk toast on the right. I love how their toasts are crispy. I could have these for breakfast any day.

To kill time later, we drove by Kuching's waterfront to have a look as the last time we were there was many years ago.
Love how my Samsung Note 3 was able to capture quite high quality pictures which I was satisfied. Thumbs up!
Taking a selfie and I got caught. My dad captured this without my conscience.
For dinner, we decided on a seafood meal at New Palm Garden Restaurant. They do not server pork and beef.
Brought this beef from home. So tender!!
Their sugarcane drink.
Chicken feet. A bit gross to me.
Snails.
Wild chicken.
Oysters.
Butter prawn.
You can try their mydin umai(a local dish) and fried bitter gourd which is crispy.
2 dishes I tried and loved a lot on my last visit.
