Langkawi Seafood Review :Wonderland Food Store

Last month my family had a vacation in Langkawi and we stayed at Pantai Cenang. It was a memorable and wonderful trip. My aim there was to have a good seafood and after asking around the locals, they suggested us to have a try at Seafood Wonderland located at Pekan Kuah. 

Wonderland Food Store actually is one of the food store located near to Bella Vista at Persiaran Mutiara 2 off Jalan Padang Matsirat, Pekan Kuah. If you guys plan to go to this Seafood Wonderland, you land mark is Bella Vista...if you find Bella Vista than you can't miss Seafood Wonderland.

The main attraction of this store is price, good customer service and off course delicious seafood. First time we went there, we ordered Seafood Tom Yam, Sweet Sour Fish, Butter Prawn and Oyster Omelette. Tom Yam Seafood is the best ever tom yam I ever tasted, dethroning Kota Bharu Horizon's tom yam. Oyster Omelette not so bad but the butter prawn was dried....I prefer Kuching's Top Spot butter prawn which is more succulent and sweet...yummy!

The dishes that we ordered came to our table in less than 15 minutes although there were so many customers that night.

The next day, we went there again to taste the tom yam. We ordered Fried Mantis Prawn with Dried Chillies, Chilly Crab, Fried Squid, Tom Yam and Deep Fried Sea Bass "Tiga Rasa" style...and coss us less than RM100. The "taukey" also very friendly and greeted us politely.

To readers, I recommend this place if you are looking for nice seafood with affordable price and also good customer service.

Enjoy!

Le Ark Photo Gallery and Restaurant Sibu

I went to Sibu last two weeks and stayed at Kingwood Hotel at Sibu town. The hotel is near to Rajang River and there is a new restaurant at river front called Le Ark Photo Gallery & Restaurant. The restaurant is very close to Kingwood Hotel and you cannot missed the location. 

What so different about this restaurant is that it is so elegant and stylish and stood out from others. It is like new and modern joint in Bangsar or Sri Hartamas in KL. I can't believe there is such restaurant in Sibu town and this is the only "high class" restaurant I ever found in here indeed. 

The decoration and styling is superb. In term of food selection, there is nothing to shout about, but the price is so affordable. I ordered Nasi Goreng with Chicken Wing and Teh Tarik, and it just cost me RM1o. 

So if you guys wanna have a decent dinner, just have a try at this restaurant if it happen that you are stuck in Sibu. Just find Kingwwod Hotel and you can find this place.

Kuching Top Spot : Seafood Paradise

I've been to Top Spot last 4 years and since than I always dreaming to come again to taste the best ever Butter Prawn in Malaysia. Top Spot located at the top level of car park complex just behind Sommerset Kuching.  The location is very easy to find and it is located at Kuching city centre, not far from Hilton, Holiday Inn and Kuching Waterfront.

This place open only at night and normally it is crowded with locals and tourist. We ordered Butter Prawn, Steamed Fish Assam Style and veggies. 

Garoupa priced at RM60 per kg and the fish that we had (red fish I think) priced at RM40 per kg. I wanted to try local veggies that call Midin which is actually pucuk paku but my friend want to try Kangkung Belacan. 

There are a lot of varieties ranging from all kind of shells, prawn, lobsters, fishes and vegetables.

Overall, the foods we had have were very amazing with affordable price (RM53 only). Butter Prawn is the best ever and if I had more time at Kuching, I will try crabs and shells as well.

Kuching Trip: Canvassing

This is actually a work trip, I have been paid to drive all over Kuching and area outside Kuching. I covered roads to Bau, Lundu, Biawak (one of the Kalimantan border crossing points), Pang Stungkor, up north until Sematan and down south to Siburan, Panchor, Serian, Gedong, Balai Ringin, Bunan Gega, Tebedu and Padawan. Arrived in Kuching on Tuesday 14th and headed to Merdeka Palace. Realized Kuching got a new International Airport and it was quite impressive.
By the way, Merdeka Palace Hotel sucks and I moved to Sommerset Kuching which was nearer to Kuching town centre.

I took three days to cover all the routes and it was a wonderful journey journey yet tiring.

I had to take a ferry somewhere near Telega Air towards Sebigo. It reminds me about my journey to Can Tho from Ho Chi Minh City where I had to cross a river for 15 minutes via ferry.

It took around 2 hours to reach Sematan at north and we had a lunch there at Dataran Sematan.

Continued my journey back to Kuching through different route crossing Pang Stungkor and Bau.

Total distance covered for the first day was 300 km.

The next day we jouneyed south to Siburan, Panchor, Serian, Tebedu, Balai Ringin (roads to Sri Aman), Bunan Gega, Tebedu and Padawan. It was a challenging gravel road from Balai Ringin to Bunan Gega and connecting to Tebakang before we made it back to Serian.

The last day we spent canvassing Kuching town including north area such as Sejingkat, Damai Beach, Santubong and Kota Samarahan.

We had a seafood lunch at restaurant near Santubong beach. 

Overall, it was a nice experience travelling in Kuching with beautiful and breathtaking view,  a totally different experience.
