Sushi King

It's that time of the year where you try to pile as much plate on your table and post photos of it on Facebook declaring supremacy of who ate the most sushi. Sushi King's RM2 per plate bonanza is here next week in Bintulu from 9-12 April 2012 for members. Prepare for the very long queue.

ザク豆腐 - Zaku Taufu

Japan might be the weirdest but the only place in the world that I would love to visit one day. Without Japan you would not have Godzilla or Gundam but you might be wondering "Hey what it has to do with food?" but wait! A few days ago a weird kind of bean curd modeling the head of a Zaku robot from the popular Gundam universe has came out!



Zaku is a robot character in Gundam







Great way to get kids to eat their bean curd!Now if only they could make a broccoli into a light saber.

Secret Recipe

Weekends are best enjoyed loitering around and getting fat. There isn't many place in Bintulu where you could sit down and enjoy an array of cakes as well as digging into something heavy.



Secret Recipe needs no introduction as it is a franchise throughout Malaysia and they serve according to them the best cheese cake and some delicious food. Although like any other franchise, the one thing I dislike especially the steak or anything that aren't freshly prepared are straight out of a tin foil to be oven heated or cooked.

The place was pretty empty when we arrived however we waited about 10 minutes for the menu as there was a shortage of staff. We ordered the chicken curry puff and a brownie walnut, the chocolate of the brownie walnut just melt off your tongue which is nostalgic. Chicken curry puff was just so so nothing special.

Brownie Walnut *gulp*

My partner in crime order the noodle in tom yum soup, there is also another choice of noodle in tom yum kung which difference is the later has prawn in it but both tasted similarly delicious and very spicy. So be warn if you can't handle the heat!



I ordered the Australia stewed beef steak which looked not so appetizing which tasted alright but nothing to write home about. If you wish to try in my opinion the best mouth watering beef stew, head over to Marco Polo restaurant in the town area. The white cauliflower and corns are like meh, seems like someone just throw it on the plate just for the sake of it.



For drinks I had the orange apricot slushie, while my partner had a glass of watermelon juice without ice. I love the orange apricot slushie with apricot bits in it and it would be perfect if it was chilled more.



Overall a relaxing dining experience which I will still come back for the cakes!

Brownie Walnut - RM5.00
Chicken Curry Puff - RM5.80
Noodle in Tom Yum Soup - RM13.00
Stewed Australian Beef Steak - RM19.50
Fresh Watermelon Juice - RM7.50
Orange Apricot Slushie - RM7.50

Ah Pek ABC

If you enjoy some sand in your shoes, the breeze and sun on your skin then you'll surely love the muddy Tanjung Batu beach, the premier "public" beach of Bintulu apart from Semilajau beach which requires entrance fee to keep out the cats and dogs. Apart from the buzzling people going for a jog, we choose to pig out with some after work delight - ABC and Rojak!

There is a variety of store selling ABC but walk on till the end from the entrance path and you will find the infamous "ah pek". The old man with a beard has been here since the dawn of dinosaur or maybe I am just exaggerating but he has been here since I could remember.

They have this ABC Milo which I ordered together with fruit rojak. The normal ABC is for the other partner in crime. Although the ah pek forgot my rojak order but I pardon him because of his sexy beard.


Pardon for the lack of pictures because we couldn't resist to dig into this sweet savory that we almost forgotten to take any picture. I didn't quite like the Milo ABC, it tasted quite blend and also a combination of ice with Milo meant it's hard to melt off but if you love Milo or chocolate give it a try. The normal ABC and fruit rojak was stomach licking good although the fruit rojak could use a bit more fruit than cucumber.

If you don't know the way just ask for the ah pek ABC and people will point you in the right direction.

Milo ABC - RM3.50
ABC - RM3.00
Fruit Rojak - RM5.00

Time to eat!

I always wanted to start a blog about the food that we munch down each day because here in Bintulu, there is nothing more fun than sticking your face in a pile of chips dip in salsa while waiting for that big piece of meat from a cow to be prepared.

I am no food expert but please feel free drool at the delicious food and pardon the poor pictures because I don't have DSLR but I will gladly accept one as gift *evil grin* and eating is more of a hobby than photography!
