I attended the ABBA’s BACK Charity Dinner at Borneo Convention Centre Kuching last Saturday. The Charity dinner was held by Catholic Welfare Services Sarawak (CWS) in collaboration with the Society of St Vincent De Paul and Kidney Association of Sarawak (KAS) in aid of poor and destitute people.
This is the only picture of the screen i had.
Our table is worth RM 10,000 which made a ticket worth around RM 1000 per pax. They called it Silver packs. For the Gold packs which i heard from a friend of mine, is worth RM 25,000.
The dinner isnt about how grand the food will be but to aid the poor especially to the Kidney Association. So, no matter how the food was like.. its worth it. Right?
The menu of the day :
First, we have this cold platter
Baby Octopus, Jelly fish, and assorted sushi roll alike thing. *yum*
Dried Scallop with Assorted seafood soup
“Teo Chew” style steamed Promfret fish
Steamed chicken with chinese herbs and meddler seeds
Braised assorted dried seafood with dou mushroom
wok fried rice
Mango pudding with strawberry sauce as their patries
and Fruits Platter
Nevertheless.. they have this very unique taste of tea. *love it*
Talking about food, there goes my eating partner..
A day reunited with my chh.. A day where Banii and Mocha finally gets to see each other! A day full of meaningful gossips… A happy day for me! *teeehehe*
Thankiuk CHH for driving all the way from her place to my place…… *hugs hugs* Sometimes… its just really hard to choose a place to have lunch especially if you have too many choices. *wuahaha*
We finally settled down at Xian Ding Wei.. a taiwanese restaurant… Say hello to Mocha and Banii*
They have this special set lunch promotion for around RM 13.90++ to RM 15.90++
I had this sesame oil porkie set lunch..
The porkie itself is ok.. but the leaves all around.. u saw that right.. they tasted like perfume… i din finish it bcoz i don feel like eating perfume pork. hehe!
The set lunch comes with a bowl of soup, side dish, selected milk tea, ur main dish and a bowl of rice of coz..
Top up RM 2 and u can get a minced pork rice…
The side dish…. we had fish ball, pickles and eggie..
oh.. i like it when u mashed the egg yolk into the minced pork rice. Awesomeness!
Ever since i had my last pho in Melbourne, i am always on my go to hunt for another bowl of shimmering saporous pho. I have been looking around for a nice and decent vietnamese cuisine restaurant and somehow out of no where as i was browsing through some food blog… i saw a lot of positive comments on this particular vietnamese restaurant at sunway pyramid.
Oviet, just next to Dragon-I.
Very comfy and elegant environment right?
And… well.. i m not sure isit bcoz its weekdays.. the restaurant is kinda empty… XD
We ordered this Fresh Summer Rolls. Known as “Nem Saigon” RM 9.90. Nem Saigon is also known as one of the very common appetizer among the vietnamese cuisine..
Traditional Mixed Beef Noodles “Pho Bo Oac Biet” RM 15.90
And normally they will serve you this as side dish to eat together with pho.
I prefer not to add too much Mint leaves into it or else the original taste of the stew beef will deteriorate.
My comment is…. 4/10 Only. SOBS!!! I miss the one in Melbourne!! *help*
Another non-vietnamese cuisine related food is…. Spaghetti with Lemongrass lamb in Cream Sauce RM 23.90
The lemongrass grilled lamb is superb.. but the sauce.. HMMM!! its not creamy right? its some kind of egg sauce.
However… At least i have a taste of what people recommended.. Not very nice… and at the same time it reflect how perfect the pho in Melbourne is. HOHOHOHOHOHO!
Anyway… i ended the makan session with Durian Pancake as Dessert!! RM 7.90
Mamamia!! The cream is tooo thick and…. I still prefer the one at the Kiosks at The Gardens’ Mall! *roarrr*
AND… OMG! my pics are super YELLOWISH!!!! i shud be more rajin and edit. hahahaha!!
i din finish it bcoz i don feel like eating perfume pork. hehe!
