and there we were on that night itself, 11th Jan 2010…cos we were kiasu liddat

it’s rather spacious compared to sushi tie. and da traffic was slow on da conveyor belt lol!

sake don @ rm14.90

deep fried salmon + shredded egg sheet

tori teriyaki don @ rm13.90

teriyaki chicken + shredded egg sheet

ten don @ rm12.90

deeped fried prawns, eggplant, long bean and sweet potato. not so healthy, everything is fried. no good no good

saba udon @ rm11.90

lawr’s waited this for more than 30mins. everyone of us has finished our don, and his was still nowhere to be seen seimou. hungry man is an angry man, most appropriately describes how his bao qing tian face looked like =.=

we ordered ten plates of sushi and only 7 came. da other three came 1 hour later seimou :S

da service was really really sibeh slow. okie, maybe their staffs are all new, need some time to familiarize with everything, hopefully my next visit will be a much more pleasant one.

pregnant fish!

all in all, da jap food are all nice, just that da don and udon portion were too small, not suffice for my insatiable appetite wtf

now, i wonder how loong can sushi tie stands…

we were having our weekly outing with da sitao one saturday…i think it’s an off day that day cos normally i had to work on saturday one…half day though

it’s our last saturday in sandakan so we pestered sitao to bring us to mum dai fun (大粉, which literally means big noodle, aka kueh teow). and 1.5hours later, we ended up here. yup, we were staying in a desert. sandakan is very popular with this kinda floating restaurants…hidden behind floating houses

aiyo, see also no appetite niao :S

we still braved ourselves in though

it’s a must-mum sandakan specialty (i think) wei. i have heard about dai fun since day one i landed in sandakan. it was meant to be my first luchie in sandakan, but it’s sold out

ok la, quite clean compared to da previous snapshot phew!

there’s actually two restaurants for us to choose but da other like no many patrons…so we chose this sim-sim seafood restaurant wihch serves no pork

see, we were right, this eatery is femes one. come out in newspaper some more.

but they don’t serve dai fun T______T

nice view emmm…

it’s sour enough, but it would be better if it’s spicier. how can a tomyam NOT spicy le?

soem fresh gems sauna-ing in da soup

others ordered da same wihch is this kon lou min. looked delicious, but im not a fan of kon lou min, so…

whoever will be going to sandakan, u MUST order seafood for every meal okie!

u won’t get such fresh and cheap seafood other than sandakan, kk’s is pricier okie!

沙白, a type of shellfish.

enough said.

these are tong fong lo…i have never seen them in peninsular though

okie, we were satiated. off we went to do our weekly ritual of grocery shopping

UPDATE (25th Nov): ALL PICHAS ARE BACK!!! MUCHY THANKS TO NEO NEO <3

more and more restaurants and cafes mushroomed in bint-ulu which is a very good thing to us, da epicures haha. but not so good to our purses :(. i first dined in sushi tie was
more than one year back when kiki and i had a short weekend getaway in sibu. and da mascot always remind me of, a hungry man is an angry man, no?

when i heard that it’s gonna open a new outlet in bint-ulu i was thrilled! i waited in eager anticipation for its opening and on da first day (to be exact, night) there we went for dinner cos we were kiasu liddat.

i purposely walked past it at noon to scrutinized da storefront. unsurprising, it was full house. i so wanted to walk in to try out their lunchy set, however loong i managed to suppress da temptation. i will be back tonight, i thought to myself.

we arrived at 8ish, it was unsurprisingly full house again! we waited like 15mins to secure a table for four. im really mad at people who jump queue! im lagi furious at people who asks their child to jump on behalf. bloody hell, nei em hou yi wai nei hai sai lou jie jie em gam har nei ar! sei yan tao!

obligatory decor pichas. i find it very da crowded. each time, only one person is allowed on da lane :(.

and there’s only a few pathetic sushi on da conveyor belt. which noone’s interested.

cha soba @ rm8

it was just ok. in fact, we were so famished that we could gulp down an ele. and yup, there’s ice cube underneath da noodles =.=

miso soba @ rm10.50

this was a total let-down i tell u.

da udon is soggy and didn’t have da springy doi doi texture :(. soup is tasty though

sushi platter @ rm52.50

delusion: everything is nice. as we were starving.

von | braine | kiki | ann

now. when is sushi king outlet gonna open in parkcity mall ar?

it’s been awhile since i went out for brekkie…

heard that there’s one stall selling soya bean and tau fu fa, so out we went for food hunting

here we landed…

quite full house despite da fact that it’s only 8-ish…

tau fu fa & soya bean

each reasonably priced at 1.40buck and 1.50buck respectively

which are made from fresh soy bean.

soya bean was a tad bland but it suited me since im a kurang-manis person =.=

and too bad they don’t serve tau fu fa with brown sugar

char kueh teow

my friend ordered this, not too bad i think as he da gourmet didn’t complain anything bout it

wa tan hor

mine!

it was nice…complemented well with da sambal in da background

ooopps! it’s a food post again

as i had mention earlier on, i spent mine mum-ing and yamcha-ing

so here’s da pichasss

had dinner at this restaurant which i forgot to snap da sign and i forgot da name as well =.= i think my memory is deteriorating day by day seimou :S

chinese restaurants in bint-ulu only serve certain teas. titkunyam, pou lei, u name it, they don’t have it =.=

as they only serve chinese tea and kok fa =.=

i can bet if it’s in kl, sure wong fei hong shao dong after two days opening.

and it takes so looong for da food to be served, we were all so famished that they almost prohibited me to snap da food =.=

i have to promised that i will snap only thrice. for each dish =.=

baby kailan

after feeding my joe (da camera), we all dug in eagerly

venison

my first time having this…it was like mum-ing chewing gum lo…

yam ring

but i thought da yam was too sweet for my liking

pai guat wong

one of da must-order whenever i dine in chinese restaurant

told u we were all so famished hence da sticking in of chopsticks

we ordered a soup too but it doesn’t look appealing so no point posting it up here

chomp Chomp CHOMP. yum!

then we had second round, yamcha session

Secret Cafe

a newly-opened cafe in Parkcity, Bint-ulu

i thought da lightings are unique. no?

boozes on da racks. *burps*

spot da engrish!

hallo meet my french friends!

my must-orders in cafe

no, u don’t have to remind me how oily they are. seriously

and lights gradually went off at 8.30pm!

on da dot!

da place suddenly turned into a very lomantic place

which is perfect for lurvey-dovey couple 

i was pretty surprised that da owner actually responded to da earth hour campaign u know.

why, why doing so? i asked da louban.

i was just playing my part, and it’s only once a year… he replied.

then we did our thang!

well, u know da earth hour, da candle, da lighting (no, no light, but da light from da candle, u get me?), da people (we haven’t hangout together in awhile)…how can we not camwhore?

i donwan suck all your bandwidth, thus only pics of us with our fingers and emm..candle…and chilli sauce

and da cafe illuminated gradually after earth hour

and we left and went back to our hostel and live eppiely ever after wtf

not eppie la actually cos finals is in two weeks time seimou :S
