Delicious Breakfast and Lunch

Ok enough of the rantings. Time for happy posts...FOOD!

A Tuesday morning, rainy and cold. Woke up early send mum to work and got back home and rushed to the airport. To catch a flight to some other place to have breakfast and lunch? errr... I am no Donald Trump or Bill Gates, can't afford to do that. LOL. Well the reason I went to the airport so early was to see Brenda off. She is going off to Nanyang Technology University (NTU) in Singapore. Really sad to see another friend go off. Which reminds me Greg went off today to KL to continue his studies... sighs... sad.... every time when I am at the airport it is a sad situation as I am always there to send someone off.

After sending Brenda off. We were all very hungry, so its time for breakfast... after a some what long decision. We decided to go to Kaya and Toast at 3rd Mile. Kaya & Toast is one of the few places that serves great toasts. They offer variety of toasts that you will give a hard time to decide what do you want.

The Menu

I think it was a great idea for them to come out with the set menu. It makes decision making much more easier for the customers. If in any case customers feel that the set meal is not enough they can always add on by ordering other toasts from the main menu. As for the set menu, you have a choice of choosing coffee or tea. Well I chose Set C and my choice for my drink was coffee, what can I say I love coffee, LOL. Another thing is that if you wish to change your drinks instead of having coffee or tea for the set menu you will have to add in another RM0.50.

The set menu comes with 3 choices

As I have said, I decided to choose Set C which is toast with ham and cheese and a bowl of half-boiled eggs. My choice of drink was coffee. I then added another french toast into my menu. I thought the ham and cheese toast was not that bad. Coffee was ok, not to diluted like in some places these days. I love the half-boiled eggs which taste great with dark soya sauce and pepper. The french toast was good, but they should offer a choice of kaya or creamer with the french toast. Currently the french toast comes with kaya only.

Overall Kaya & Toast is a great place to go and have breakfast or tea. The toast are good, but compared to the coffee shops it can be a wee bit more expensive but its worth it.

Kaya & Toast has a few branches one is at Central park a.k.a 3rd Mile another one at Petanak and the newest branch is located at Tabuan Jaya same row with Siang Siang.

After a few hours....

LUNCH TIME

After a few hours its time for lunch. Its time for Korean. I have not been having Korean food for quite sometime. So we decided to go to Seoul Garden and again it is situated in 3rd mile not very far off from Kaya and Toast

SEOUL GARDEN

The last time I had a Korean meal was with Florence and Koh Ping in Dae Jom BBQ house at Jalan Song. I have not been there for a long time.

Seoul Garden is one of the Korean restaurants that serves authentic Korean dishes. It is not that bad. They have a good menu with a wide variety of choices for their customers to choose. Now they even offer set menu.

The owner of Seoul Garden are Koreans, pioneered by both husband and wife. The husband is very friendly. He recommended me the Dolsot-Bimbimbab, which is a hot bowl, inside it is rice. egg, bean sprouts,shredded cucumbers, minced meat, crab meat, Chinese mushrooms. Then you will pour chilli paste into the rice and stir it. Because the bowl is made of stone and it was left on the fire to heat it up it was so hot that the egg actually cooked in that bowl once the mixing is done.

Another dish that I really wanted to try was "Jjang Myun" to translate it is Soya Sauce noodles. It is different from the Chinese version. The Korean version is served with potatoes cabbages. and the sauce comes with dark soya sauce and also prawn paste. Finally on that day I saw it. I was so thrilled that without a second thought I ordered it. It comes in two version one with separate sauce and another with the sauce. I chose the later.

Other dishes we had that day was, Kimchi-chigae Chye Lin's choice, Beef stew Chang Ting's choice, Jjang Rice Greg and Wei ta's choice, Hot plate beef Morgan's choice. There was also Korean sushi which I can't remember the name and also Kimchi Dumpling.

Another thing about that day was that I was truly fascinated with the quote on Wei Ta's shirt. Which I could not resist but to take a photo of it.

Map to Seoul Garden (NOT TO BE SCALED)

If you are thinking of having Korean food in Kuching, I do highly recommend you to consider Seoul Garden. I have drawn a rough map on how to get there but note that the map is not fit for scaling. I would definitely go back to Seoul Garden if I am thinking of Korean food again.
