Valentines @ The Steakhouse Hilton Kuching

A throwback blog post on the Valentines celebration at The Steakhouse, Hilton Kuching.

OOTD

Wanted to celebrate this day somewhere different and so, we decided to go back Kuching earlier to celebrate this day before the Chinese New Year.

The restaurant doesn't really makes me feel comfortable because the restaurant itself isn't that big and many tables and chairs were fitted in it. The tables were so near to each other. Well, nevermind it, I'm happy having dinner with my husband.

The Menu

Above is the menu and here's the starter - Trio Oyster which consist of fresh oyster, baked oyster and deep fried oyster.

Oh yes, they do served complimentary bread as well, and it's in heart shape! So sweet~~

Okay, here comes the second starter of the night - Slow Roasted Tomato Broth

We had both the main course so that we could try each of it.

Australia Black Angus Striploin Steak

Many comments complimenting their steak was the best in town. It was true! This is the best steak I ever had so far. You really have to try this when in Kuching. Superb!

Crab Meat and Cream Cheese Crusted Salmon Fillet

Compare to the steak, this is just so so. Nothing interesting.

It's cute isn't it? Very presentable desserts they served. Not to forget the Sorbet. I like it very much.

Thanks to my hubby for this photo

Each set of the course dinner cost RM 175 and these two glasses of drinks cost RM 45 each glass. Total cost for the whole dinner including tax is about RM 500.

Each couples were entitled to participate in the lucky draw which held on that night itself. It was a super lucky day that we got the second prize - A complimentary 2 days 1 night stay in Deluxe Room with Breakfast for 2! 

Top Spot Food Court @ Kuching

Top Spot is a big food court with many stalls selling seafood.

Ling Loong Seafood is one of the best.

See how they arranged their seafood and vegetables. Clean and neat!

This is Midin. They wrapped it like flowers. Beautiful isn't it? After cooked, it became a nice dish.

人山人海呀!

Each stalls has different colour of table cloth to differentiate themselves. So, make sure you don't get to the wrong table. :)

This is Sarawak deep fried oyster, very different from the fried oyster we used to get in Klang Valley and Penang.

You see how big it is!

This is stir fry Mani with egg.

Midin. The one which look like a bouquet of flowers. This is nice. Must try it if you have not.

I can say that Kuching rarely has small prawn, small clams and small sized fish. You really can feel the satisfaction eating seafood in Kuching.

Damai Beach Resort @ Kuching (Year 2013)

During my second trip to Kuching, I went Damai Beach Resort for 2D1N stay. The resort was so quiet during low season, kinda scary especially we were staying quite far away from the reception area.

A very big room with a lot of mosquitoes. So, just don't open the balcony sliding door if not necessary.

Swimming? No~~~~ I can't swim. But I'm ready with my swimsuit to go into the pool although I can't swim. 

Let's go to the beach and have a walk.

We had dinner at the chinese seafood restaurant near the beach. I did not take any photos but I remember the tomyam soup is nice!

We had their buffet breakfast the next morning, it's just so so.

First trip to Kuching (Year 2012)

My first visit to Kuching way back in year 2012. It's a big city but quiet. 

I've been to many places in Kuching in that trip but I did not took much photos, maybe next time! :)

Let's show you some nice foods in Kuching.

This is one of the recommended must try in Kuching - 面家汤 Noodle Descendents. Please remember to bring your patience along if you want to try this. You may need to queue for seats, yes, just seats, for 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on the crowd. After you get your seats, you'll need to wait for your turn to order. The staff have quite good memory, they do remember which customer came in first and they will go table by table to take your order. You have to share table with others sometimes. After ordering, you'll need to wait another 30 minutes to 1 hour for food, depending on the crowd. I have no idea what takes them so long to serve just noodle and ready cooked soup, and this is the only reason to cause the long queue.

 This noodle is super delicious. You can never get the same taste in other places.

This soup is good as well. It looks like the mix pork soup of Yam Rice in Penang, but the taste is slightly different, Yam Rice's mix pork soup taste better in my opinion.

Lot 18, Ground Floor (Padungan Road), 

93100 Kuching, Sarawak.

This Sarawak Laksa has been voted as one of the best in town. This is true. Looks like Penang curry mee - this is my first impression. :) You can get Sarawak Laksa from this stall - Poh Lam Laksa, it's located at the front, you won't missed it.

Had fried oyster and poh piah from other stalls as well. They taste so so only.

泉春茶室 Chong Choon Cafe 

Lot 121, Jalan Abell, Section 3, 93100, Kuching, Sarawak.

This is something special to me. Midin, its name. You can order this in any restaurant. Stir fry Midin with belacan is the best combination. I love it!
