Here is one of the new and popular kopitiam, located towards the back of Premier 101. Name of the place is Yeow Kee Kopitiam. They got nice wooden chairs and tables unlike most kopitiam which only use plastic chairs. A typical kopitiam with several stalls which brings you alot of food choices. The place is usually full and overcrowded in the morning. The inside is quite stuffy during the morning or day time so I’ll usually sit in the openair.

Though crowded, the waiter and waitress still manage to keep up. We were entertained as soon as we sat down and the drinks ordered came pretty quickly. Efficient I would say.There are few popular choice of food. One is the charcoal toasted bread with butter and kaya. Hardly can find toast with charcoal. It taste much better.

I ordered the hand made noodle which is shown below. One of my favourite from this kopitiam. mix ingredient. As for the laksa, no comment as I didn’t try it.

Today, went to Stutong area for dinner. Got introduced to this place by a friend. I was told that the chef used to work for a well known restaurant, “Tsui Hua Lo”.  Was ordering something there but they seem to have forgotten about our orders so I cancel it off and ordered something from other stall instead. They had too many tables to handle. I ordered Nasi Pattaya or they spelled it as Nasi Petaya on the menu signage.

The portion is fairy generous. As you can see on the picture below. It cost RM5.00 for it. I am always scouting for good nasi pattaya. I would say this is among the best I had but also the most pricey one among the other comparison.

Kurma Chicken

Yes again, I went to Wang Full to try out the other new dishes. This time I tried the Kurma chicken with rice. I particularly like the sauce. . Meat portion is just right. For this and Ice Lemon Tea, RM6.00 if I am not mistaken. Its not spicy. Taste abit sweet in a way. Highly recommended. Will I eat the same dishes for 10 times in a row. Yes I would.

Lee’s coffee shop is one of the newest and popular eating outlet in town. Its another open air style kopitiam or “foodcourt” with individual running stalls. Its located at Stutong or Tabuan laru area. (refer to the map below for directions).

Anyway, I tried out one of the stall’s claypot rice. I say its the best in town so far after the downfall of the former best claypot near to Nanas road. As I was told, the best method to achieve a good delicious claypot rice is to cook it directly from the claypot itself over burning charcoal. Then add the rest of the ingredient along the way.  It could take a while for the rice to get cook. Thats the traditional method of cooking claypot.

What most people does nowadays, they speed up the process by pre-cook the rice in rice cooker partially then port it over to the claypot to finish the job. And some doesn’t cook it over burning charcoal, they use common gas stove instead. So it doesn’t taste as nice as the traditional one.

I think it cost me RM5.00 for this. Can’t really recall.

Sorry, photos taken with my Nokia N79 only. Will make an effort to take with my digicam next time.

If you can’t find, just look for the Stutong Market and look onthe side of the. Lee’s Coffee Shop is just next to C121 which is another better looking kopitiam.

A usual eatery hangout place of mine.  Its located between Petanak and Ang Cheng Ho road. I don’t really know the name of the road. They have variety of food choices and I think I tried most of the food available there. Don’t be deceive by the the common cafe environment, its actually a cafe with restaurant quality food with the price of a usual “kopitiam” or cafe.

I once joke around with the tauke aka the boss, “common make new recipe, I tried all that you have already”. and he replied “No problem!, come back next week and you will have something new to try”. Surprisingly, he kept his words and there were 3 new dishes on the menu. He name out the dishes verbally. I ordered “ayam masak merah” which means “chicken cooked red”. Its a malay dish. Sometimes you do see this dish turn out to be really red. This turned out to be rather brownish which I find it more appealing. It comes with a fried egg, white rice and salad piece. The portion is just the right amount though I craved for more as I find it delicious.

It only cost me RM6.00 for that together with a glass of Ice Lemon Tea.

unique name with unique food

There are other food stalls there which I do recommend as well. The Sabah Style Fishball kolo mee is also good. I think its the best in Kuching, I find it better than the famous Batu Kawa fish ball or meat ball. Can’t be bothered to drive that far for it either.  I haven’t try the chicken rice yet, so I have nothing to say about it.
