The Food Talk

Spring Delight Cafe

YingYing — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 17:05:01 +0000

Location: BDC Commercial Centre, Kuching

The shophouse is actually located at the smaller single story shophouses. It’s next to a Tailor Shop… ^ ^ Opposite Lian Jun Restaurant.

I thought the food there is quite nice. Nothing fancy or anything to shout about… but if you do want the “Malaysian Way type of breakfast”… then perhaps you should consider having this “light soupy” breakfast from this shop.

Chocolat Blanc Et Langue De Chat

YingYing — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 16:57:44 +0000

A Japanese product it is!

Not sure if you guys have had this before? I’ve not seen in sold in Malaysia. It was given by my colleague. It’s really nice… :) The bite is white in color, not too sweet but has a milky taste to it…. mmm…… If you guys know where to get it, please do let me know…..

Thanks James, for sharing it with me. :)

Archie’s Restaurant & Pizzeria

Phone No: +64-9-523 5111

To start off our meal, we ordered the garlic pizza bread for our starter. It’s not as great though. We couldn’t quite taste the garlic… oh well….

Oh hey, this is the restaurant ambience

Home made Tortelloni
Filled with ricotta, aubergine, and leek, served with a creamy, lemon and mushroom sauce…
hmmm… cooked to perfection.. it has a little tangy taste to it and really creamy at the same time. The portion look kinda small, but.. oh boy….. never underestimate it, aye?
Rating : 10/10

Eye Fillet Steak (medium cooked)
Rating : 10/10
Pan roasted eye fillet, served with fennel, mashed potatoes,
roasted garlic & sun dried tomato sauce

What’s a complete meal without dessert huh?

Tiramisu
Rating : 7/10
Italian sponge finger biscuits in mascarpone, and espresso liqueur and coffee sauce….

I think they’ve changed their chef or something… it didn’t taste as good as the first time we tried it! The reason that brought us back here, must have been all the while – TIRAMISU!
But it’s a disappointment tonight. It’s still good to a certain extend, but I can’t rate it 10/10 this time! Something’s missing…. ohhhh… the chocolate sauce, I think. and the design kinda sucks!

Mouleaux
French Baked Chocolate mousse
Rating : 10/10
Now, this time… to replace tiramisu’s position.. and I hope they will maintain that quality, Mouleaux is worth coming back for! Seriously!! It’s HEAVENLY! N i know… Fiona will love it!
Seriously, everytime when I have chocolate.. or anything that taste chocolatey! muahahaha … I see Fiona….. boohooo.. how I wish all my buddies are here!!!!!!

It’s freshly baked from the oven, so you gotta be careful when you scoop it up and put into your mouth! hahaha! cause you may well be burnt on your tongue and lips, cause your spoon is hot!!!

Pandan Sari Muaci

YingYing — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 09:46:00 +0000

I’ve always LOVED MUACI!

I’ve not tried any MUACI that’s nicer than this one, which is from JAKARTA! I don’t think it’s that cheap.. it’s probably RM1 per piece, i think? I can’t quite remember the price. Anyway, it’s made to order….

That’s the number you have to call, if you would like to order….

The Flavours of the MUACI available for order

(Of course, the highlighted one is the one I ordered and it’s my FAVOURITE!)
