...About Sight Seeing In Bali

Although I don't get to travel or go for getaways as often as some of my colleagues do, I am fortunate enough to be able to go on annual trips. This year, I made it to Bali. Was a last minute trip. A girl friend who resides in Australia was going there for a week and suggested that it'll be cool to meet there. After some scrambling, loads of sms-es and online messaging, the trip came to fruit.

It was a fun trip with good company. Although I spent more than I would have liked, I still enjoyed the trip. The only hassle was to get halal food. Oh well, all that aside, let us let the pictures do the talking.

Oh and by the way, this was way back in Apri (>_<)

...About Breakfast Buffet at Four Points by Sheraton.

Needless to say, throughout my 2 weeks there, breakfast was the best meal of the day. (except on the day that I went for the seafood dinner). Behold what I had for breakfast for 2 weeks!

 This was rice vermicelli with blanched vege in laksa broth. You can choose different types of noodles with a choice of 3 different soup/broths.

Salad, chicken bologna, hash browns, beef bacon, sausage, fresh fruit, apple juice.

Chicken piccata, toast, beef bacon, french toast.

 Omelette. Choose your own toppings.

Salad, beef sausage, chicken bologna, sauteed potatoes.

Cupcake, jam, (over)whipped cream, scone, croissant. The croissant is to die for! Soft and buttery! Their bread pudding was also delish, can't believe I forgot to snap a pic of that. So this is pretty much what I had for breakfast every day, plus/minus 1 or 2 plates. Huge breakfast man.

Breakfast like a King.

...About Four Points Hotel by Sheraton, Kuching.

Yep, I stayed at a 'by Sheraton' hotel for 2 weeks during my work trip there. Cool or what? I don't even stay in a hotel that nice when I go for hols. Definitely a welcomed changed. So of course I took pictures! You kidding me?

This is the view as you walk into the room

The beds. Down pillows. DOWN pillows. Oh so soft. The mattress is also soft, feels like sleeping on a cloud o_O

 

TV and the dressing table.

Beyond that window is the bathroom.

TV and entrance.

 

Stuff in the drawer of the dressing table. Nope, I didn't take any home, more clutter I do not need.

Ze toilet.

Ze sink and huge ass mirror.

Ze shower room. Rain shower head.

 Ze bathtub. Nope, did not have the time to use it.

 It's a pretty green hotel, no smoking is allowed in the premises. Bed sheets are changed only when you request, by putting this card on your bed.

 They slip this under you room door when they couldn't come in to do house keeping due to...

 ...this sign on your door.

 The most confusing ac control.

 Complementary water.

 Their serviettes have bullet point lines for you to doodle on. How cute is that?

...About Trying Out Local Kuching Food

Yup, still posting about my work trip there. Tried some local food, mainly the ones people say is a must try.

Kolo mee, had this at the canteen at work. Basically instant noodles, with beef, some vege and some seasoning sauce.

Ok, this is not a local Kuching food, but just wanted to put this in. Ayam Penyet, had this at a  place nearby the hotel.

 

Nasi Goreng Dabai. Dabai is a fruit. A very salty fruit. Tinges the rice a purple hue. When eating this, do not bite on the fruit on it's own, it's very salty.

Another version of Mee Kolo. Had this one at the Satok Night Market.

That's about it, more Kuching posts to compose. Let's hope I get around to it. >_<

...About: Food Porn Kuching Edition, Seafood at ABC Ah Seng, Topspot Foodcourt.

When in Kuching, let alone for 2 weeks, you have to have seafood. Topspot Foodcourt is the recommended place. Price wise, not bad. The recommended stall was ABC Ah Seng. Enough words, bring on the pictures!!!

You can't miss the stall, it's lighted up like a Christmas tree.

Belacan(shrimp paste) fried Midin vege. It's a bit like the Pucuk Paku, but more tender.

Sweet and Sour sea crab.

Grilled Sting Ray

Bamboo Lala, Black Pepper Style.

Butter Prawn.

Sarawak version of Oyster Omelet.

 All that came up to RM130. For 5 people, not bad.

Went there for a second time, figured that I had to go there one last time before leaving.

This time, I got my coconut drink.

Red Snapper, Thai style Mango.

Sweet and Sour Crab again.

Look at that piece of crab roe!

The second time around, there were only 2 of us, so we only ordered 3 dishes, the other dish was the Midin vege again. That's a must try vege.

All in all, feedback was that, it's cheaper than the seafood in the peninsular. The food was good. Worth the money.

More food porn coming your way! Stay tuned! (cheesy much?)
