We also ordered the lamb with lime sauce…and I only found out that night that they had mayonnaise in it with the lime. It was nice but I think it was nicer when we had it before – the meat was not grilled that well enough.
This very nice claypot fish dish…which was very nice though I wouldn’t mind a little bit more fish and yam and tofu puffs – the next time I order that, I will certainly ask for more of those and maybe, pay a little bit more.
We had the sizzling venison on a hot plate…something we had not had for quite sometime and the general consensus was that it was very nice.
这是我第一次在See Good Food Centre Sdn Bhd @ Kuching吃海鲜大餐， 感觉这里的海鲜味道比西马的还棒！
The sweet and sour pork was really very good…
The deep fried pork marinated with tau joo (fermented bean curd)…was perfectly done, not dry and hard like at some places here in Sibu and it was served with sambal belacan – that certainly was a winner!!!
Super Lobster dishes found in Miri City at Lavender Cafe, Marina Square Miri. Must try their famous Buttermilk Lobster with golden fried and tiger prawn Laksa ! OMG!!
Found at Tanjong Sea Food (tanjong海鲜楼), you can get this for RM35!
According to the guy, this is the chef’s signature dish, his golden beancurd (RM15.00)…and yes, we all thought it was nice. The tofu was yellowish, not white, inside so my guess was that it was their own-made egg tofu or what people call Japanese tofu. I would say that it was like something you can expect at a classy Chinese restaurant, most likely in a hotel or some Hong Kong franchise – not that great but not entirely all that shabby either.
However, the main reason why I wanted to bring my daughter here for dinner was because I wanted her to enjoy their roast rack of lamb served with mint sauce and some garlic and ginger dip……and my girl enjoyed it to the max. It sure looked like they had worked on improving their presentation……too but no, it did not come cheap – I had to fork out RM50.00 for the three thick slabs but one thing I must say is that I am pleased that that was exactly the same price I paid way back in 2014 for two much bigger slabs of the meat and after all these years, it was as good as it was then.
It tasted great but the mee wasn’t quite the way I would prefer it, soft and having soaked in the sauce…but not overcooked and soggy or perhaps I would give the kampua mee a try. It looked rather good and my goodness, the serving was so generous that the mee was literally overflowing off the rim of the plate!
This was really nice, the coffee pork…– stewed pork spare ribs with a light hint of coffee. I sure enjoyed that very much
The curry fish (RM60.00)…was very good, very spicy and the lovely gravy went absolutely well with rice. I did not think much of the fish though – I think it was a red snapper.
The kampua mee (RM3.00)…was very nice too and I liked those bits of minced meat in it, something different from a lot of the rest.
I did suggest to them that should they happen to come here, they must order the drunken prawns…with those giant freshwater big-head prawns/udang galah but it looked like it fell on deaf ears. I had that once and I enjoyed it a lot but of course, that dish would not come cheap, not with those killer prawns!
I particularly enjoyed their midin, fried with belacan (dried prawn paste),,,The belacan they use at such places makes a world of difference – I guess they will not use the super-expensive super-nice Bintulu belacan but as long as it does not have an unpleasant smell and tastes fine, I am ok with it. I particularly loved the gravy with the rice.
We also ordered their deep-fried ikan bawal hitam/or chio (black pomfret)…and got a huge one but it did not matter one bit as it was very fresh and so very nice – we certainly enjoyed that very much! We asked for it plain so as to be sure it was gluten-free.
The creamy butter prawn balls (RM26.00)…were great too
We sure enjoyed it to the max and we also loved their Four Heavenly Kings with XO sauce (RM16.00)…which, according to the lady taking our order, is another of their signature dishes and yes, I would say that it has an edge over the rest around town.
I tried the kampua mee (RM2.80)…which I thought was good – it was not overcooked, soft and soggy like those at some places around here and though I would not say it was very strong on the coveted lard taste, the fragrance of the shallot oil sure made up for it and I liked the fact that they used stewed pork instead of the char-siew wannabe, the boiled pork coloured red that they give you elsewhere.
That was why I went to the coffee shop and ordered a bowl (RM6.00)…to try and yes, it was very nice. Their own-made chili dip was really good and spicy too.
However, it was the claypot yam…that I enjoyed the most and I kept going back for more till there was none left.
