Biryani Friday @ Restoran Halimah Nasi Kandar Royal - Harbour City

Biryani Friday this week takes me to a restaurant I've been meaning to try for some time now, Restoran Halimah Nasi Kandar Royal. Whenever I pass during lunchtime there always seems to be a crowd, usually a good indication of tasty food! The biryani didn't have a strong flavour as others I've tasted but definitely had more fragrance than plain nasi putih, although I possibly overpowered this with my generous helping of chicken curry gravy. It's self service at RHNKR so once I received my biryani it was up to me to choose my accompaniments, the fried chicken looked good in its deep red coating, so I picked out a nice piece of breast meat. Next I opted for stir fried cabbage with tomato, carrot and chilli which was really tasty and mildly spicy, then came the curry gravy which was dark and wonderfully spicy. I really enjoyed the food here, it was good quality and very tasty, even though the biryani didn't exactly stand out, also the other food in the nasi kandar looked really good too.

RHNKR is located at Harbour City opposite Sutera Harbour Resort.

 

The Bill : 1x Nasi Biryani, 1x Ayam Goreng, 1x Sayur, 1x Teh Tarik Ping = 9.20 MYR

I'll definitely be back for more nasi kandar @ Restoran Halimah Nasi Kandar Royal.

Chinese Food @ 3 In 1 Cafe - Lintas Plaza

This was our first visit to the intriguingly named 3 In 1 Cafe, I'm pleased to say it was a delicious first visit too! With set meals available, a la carte and 'with rice' deals, we opted for 'a la carte'. After studying the menu clay pot chicken curry caught The Little Nibbler's attention and I for one cannot resist sayur manis when it comes to stir fried green veggies.
 

The clay pot chicken curry arrived sizzling and smoking at the table. A fantastic warming dish of spices, potatoes and chicken in a lovely curry sauce. Sometimes though, I wish there was an option to have boneless chicken in dishes, today was one of those days as it would have been great to munch through this meal without worrying about bones, maybe in the future I should ask?

The sayur manis was really tasty, stir fried with lots of egg, we love this vegetable dish.

 

Ice lemon tea and Chinese teh ping.

3 In 1 Cafe is located in Lintas Plaza, opposite Restoran Salim.

 

The Bill : 1x Clay Pot, 1x Sayur Manis, 2x Nasi Putih, 1x Ice Lemon Tea, 1x Chinese Teh Ping = 25.30 MYR

3 In 1 served up some yummy food from their bright, clean Cafe!

Dosa @ CS Curry House (Banana Leaf Restoran) - Tanjung Aru Plaza

CS Curry House has become a bit of a regular for me, the food's great and I can't get enough of their free flow curry gravies and dahl. For breakfast today I had plain dosa, well I confess, not 1 but 2! The perfectly cooked dosas arrived on a banana leaf with a good dollop of tomato and coconut chutney along with above mentioned accompaniments, washed down with a hot, sweet, teh tarik. It dosa-nt get much better than this! Haha, sorry!
 

CS Curry House is located front side of the Tanjung Aru Plaza along Jalan Mat. Salleh.

The Bill : 2x Dosa, 1x Teh Tarik, 1x Ice Water = 6 MYR

There's nothing 'plain' about the dosas from CS Curry House!

Wan Ton Ho @ Restoran Hui Chow - Taman Fortuna

There always seems to be a crowd outside Restoran Hui Chow, so today I thought I'd join them! There's nasi campur available, but pork in its various forms, with noodles seems to be the peoples choice. After yesterdays pork extravaganza I thought I'd give it a miss, well this isn't entirely true as I asked after their 5 spiced wild boar only to be told 'sudah habis' so I decided upon seafood wan ton ho. At first glance I thought the dish seemed a bit watery but with my first mouthful all doubts had vanished. Keow teow noodles stir fried then doused with savoury egg gravy, chunks of fresh fish, prawns and green veggie, I do love a good wan tan ho!

Restoran Hui Chow is located in Taman Fortuna along Jalan Penampang, just look out for the crowds.

The Bill : 1x Wan Ton Ho, 1x Chinese Teh Ping = 9 MYR

I'll be back for that wild boar for sure!

Kuching Kolo Mee & Big Bad Wolf Pork Burger @ Kedai Kopi Kam Lee - Damai

The Little Nibbler had a craving for kolo mee tonight so we thought we'd head back to Kedai Kopi Kam Lee to see if the Sarawakian noodles lived up to The Nibbler's last loving memory of them!
 

I ordered the char siew kolo mee and was very pleased indeed! You get a generous portion of noodles with minced pork, sliced BBQ char siew, chopped chives and a little green veggie. Mix for maximum enjoyment and pour over the pickled chillis, yummy!

Pork belly kolo mee for The Nibbler, same ingredients as above but char siew is substituted for delicious, sweet tasting, belly pork. Smiles all round, it passed the test!

Big Bad Wolf Pork Burger caught my eye and my appetite, so I ordered a burger too! Who can resist a burger from the Big Bad Wolf ?!?

I really don't think my picture does justice to this wonderful porky treat. The pork patty is flavoursome and juicy and works brilliantly with the toppings of tomato, cucumber, cheese, chilli sauce and the deal clinching yellow mustard. This is one tasty burger! 

Kedai Kopi Kam Lee is located in Damai's hawker centre. After looking at the Big Bad Wolf Pork Burger Facebook page, it seems they have 2 outlets, one here and one at Lido.

The Bill : 2x Kolo Mee, 1x Pork Burger, 1x Kitchai Ping, 1x Kopi C Ping = 20 MYR

A pork lovers paradise @ Damai with Kuching Kolo Mee and the Big Bad Wolf Pork Burger!!!

Laksa @ Kedai Kopi Yee Fung - Jalan Gaya

Back to an old and very reliable favourite today for a late breakfast of lovely Laksa. Kedai Kopi Yee Fung is probably world famous for their laksa and rightly so in my opinion, I can't say I've ever been let down by the food quality or taste here! Yee Fung's laksa is quite mild in flavour with the added option of belacan sambal to spice things up a bit along with a zesty squeeze of calamansi. Shredded chicken and omellette, prawns and sliced beancurd puffs are drenched in hot laksa soup along with rice noodles, quite simply a breakfast of champions!

 

 

Yee Fung's 3 dishes of Laksa, Ngau Chap and Claypot Chicken Rice.

 

Yee Fung is pretty much an institution along Jalan Gaya.

 

The Bill : 2x Laksa, 2x Lemon Kitchai Ping = 16 MYR

Great Laksa, Great Drinks, Great Yee Fung!

Tom Yam @ Kafe Sinar Baru - Jalan Damai

I noticed crowds of people as I drove past this 'kafe' on Jalan Damai earlier this morning and decided I best return a little later to investigate! I was presented with 3 menus as I sat down but the main event seemed to be the noodle vendor, front of shop. I think just three items were available, though I could be wrong, looking around Tom Yam seemed to be the popular choice so I followed my instincts and went with the crowd! The seafood tom yam mee hoon was a good choice, chunks of fresh fish fillet and prawns in a nice 'n' spicy soup tempered with evaporated milk and topped with corriander, lovely! And all for the very reasonable price of six dollars.
 

Kafe Sinar Baru is located at the SMC roundabout, Jalan Damai.

 

The Bill : 1x Tom Yam, 1x 100 Plus, 1x Chinese Teh Ping = 8.20 MYR

Kafe Sinar Baru is a nice clean coffee shop with friendly staff and great food, I'll be back for sure!!!
