Nyonya Breeze (Invited Review)

Nyonya Breeze @ Abu Siti Lane (Invited Review)

Nyonya Breeze is located right opposite the Red Rock Commercial Centre @ Abu Siti Lane. A handful of us attended the invited review extended by Nyoya Breeze and arranged by Steven .


The interior deco is pretty simple yet comfortable.



[The rating below is purely based on taste, not considering price]

Nasi Ulam (RM7.00) [My rating : 7/10]
Steamed rice tossed with salted fish, dried prawns, belacan, 'kerisik' and assorted local herbs.
- I personally don't favour nasi ulam that much as it's too dry for me. Luckily the Asam Pedas (soup) came in rescue later on. :)



BUT ..... I appreciate every single effort done by the restaurant in preparation of those ingredients. As we all know, Nasi Ulam requires each ingredient to be cut to its FINEST size.



From front to back : Ginger , Nutmeg, Chrysanthemum
Cold : RM2.20, RM2.20, RM1.40
Hot : RM2.00, RM2.00, RM1.30
The ginger tea is very thick!


Sambal Goreng (S= RM14.40, L= RM19.20) [My rating : 10/10]
Prawns, eggplant and cashew nuts in a savoury, tangy sauce with chillies for garnishing.



By seeing the name of this dish - 'sambal goreng', one would definitely think it's a sambal dish. Nope, it's not. It's fragant with belacan essense and appetizing to go with rice. I have even thought at one time the possibility of making spaghetti with this 'carbonara'-look sauce (!).



Hey Ya Kay Char Bak (S= RM12.00, L= RM16.80) [My rating : 8/10]

砂朥越古晋干捞面 (Kuching Kan Pua)

砂朥越古晋干捞面 Sarawak Kuching Kan Pua @ 好友餐馆 (Kafe Setia Kawan) , Raja Uda

A bunch of my ex-colleagues (breakfast gang) know well that I love Sarawak local dishes, like Kolok Mee, Kan Pua and Sarawak Laksa.

They informed me through sms when they saw the advertisement of this newly opened restaurant at Raja Uda that serves the so-called "Kuching Kan Pua".


It's Sunday late morning ~11am. Since it is not a short journey to travel to Raja Uda, thus I guess we better make a call to confirm.
"Harlo, Hao You?! Today open or not?"
"Ya, we are open."
"Got Kuching Gan1 Lao1 Mian4 mah?"
"Oh, this one ah, wanna finish liao woh."
"Oh, like that ah, then perhaps we come some other days lah."
"You come now lah."
"We are coming from Queensbay here woh."
"You come now lah, I will not disappoint you!" The lady boss said.
"OK!" (After we confirmed on the location, off we went!)

This is the last second bowl served in that morning. The customers who came later than us were not lucky enough.

The differences I detected when it's first served.
1) It's served using bowl instead of plate.
2) Got wanton one(?!)
3) Looks more like 'white version' of wanton mee leh.


Small RM2.80. Big RM3.30.(more.....)

Is my tastebud deteriorating or ?!

600cc @ Prangin Mall

The last visit during 2007 wasn't a good one.

Human, forget and forgive. I forgot how my last visit was. I tried again the other day at Prangin Mall. The zha jiang mian + drink set has increased from RM8 to RM11+. I personally think that the 'minus-pork' version has made this dish losing its attractiveness.




Tao Yuan @ Campbell Street


I ordered mang min for two persons. It came so little nia leh! :) (more.....)
