I Corner @ Parkcity Bintulu

Was surprised to find a good makan place here! Packed with people at 1pm. They have a good selection of food, like Bak kut teh, Vegetarian, Pan Mee, Mixed rice, etc... I went for the chicken rice stall which was the favourite here I think. Ordered Siew Yok Fan and paid a shocking RM 6.80 for it. Tasted good. Big plate! But so expensive???

Tomato Kuey Teow @ Bintulu

Ate at: Farley Food Court (new Parkcity area)
Paid: RM 5
Verdict: Was quite shocked when served because the tomato colour was too artificial. A bit too starchy and sour for my liking.
Rating: 5/10

Popiah @ Bintulu

Another one of my all-time favourite!
Ate at: Popular Corner Seafood Restaurant for brekkie
Paid: RM 3 for 2 rolls
Verdict: One non-spicy, one spicy. Filled with all the standard fillings for popiah-mangkuang, taugeh,carrot, green vege, dried shrimps, peanuts. Tasted ok :)
Rating: 6/10

Vegetable Dumplings (Cai Kuih) @ Bintulu

One of my favourite food of all times. Bought this from Mong Kok Foodcourt (Popular Corner Seafood Restaurant) at Bintulu old town area. A little bit expensive at RM 2 for 3 pieces of nicely made and nicely packed cai kuih. Ate this for breakfast 2 days in a row. Best cai kuih here!

Banana Leaf Rice @ Bintulu

Location: Banana Leaf Rice, Parkcity, Bintulu (big corner shop at the T-junction)

Price: about RM 10 for a vege meal

Verdict: Was craving for banana leaf rice so off we went to this impressive looking shop. This is not those typical indian curry shop but rather exclusive... I ordered vege and he ordered chicken curry. Our orders turned out the same except he has the extra curry. Taste is so-so. Not worth the money.

Fish Head Curry @ Bintulu

Location: Happy Garden Seafood Restaurant, Bintulu
Price: RM 31 for 2 pax
Verdict: Almost every table ordered this. Very fragrant! Comes with ladies' fingers, brinjals and fu chok. Curry with lotsa kunyit goodness. Got muak at the end of the meal though. Will be back for the crabs!

Riverfront Cafe @ Bintulu

Came here with my colleagues during lunchtime and was surprised to see the restaurant almost fully packed. I ordered orange juice without sugar and ice, and Indonesian Fried Rice which seemed the most-loved dish among my colleagues :)


The nice menu

Drinks menu

 
Indonesian Fried Rice (RM 7.90)

I love the fried rice! It came with an egg, papadam, some ayam masak merah, and 2 cucuk sate.
I guess the rice was already prepared and not fried on order, but good that it was warm. The ayam masak merah was delicious and I liked the gravy much. The sate was made of chicken fillet, the kuah was thick, very nutty and a bit spicy.
Bill came up to RM 16.90 (exclude tax) for my share. I was shocked to see the orange juice was RM 9.00 so I double checked the menu and indeed it was RM 9.00 for a glass of orange juice! Didn't look carefully at the drinks menu, thought it was RM 5.80 just like pineapple/watermelon juice.
Never ever order orange juice there! With RM 9.00 I can buy oranges enough for one whole week.

Overall, it was a great place to dine in. Love the atmosphere too. Air-conditioned, and the service was fast. I will be back! ^^

This restaurant is situated beside RHB bank at old town Bintulu, overlooking the waters.

Kampung Seafood House, Bintulu

  
Wanted to try this for some time after being recommended by my friend. This place is rather spacious, with non-aircond and aircond section. There were not many customers that day probably due to Raya plus it was raining. Not sure whether they served pork, people working there were a mix of Chinese and Malay.

 Hubby ordered pandan barley.

     
 I got this young coconut for RM4.50. Quite expensive to me.

 
MENU!

 RM40/kg mud crab. Bigger crabs compared to what we always eat. We ordered fried crabs with egg. Not nice..... I would say 5/10. I've tasted much better ones. They put lemongrass into this dish, tasted weird. The crab meat was tasty though.

 Midin ulam

 Fish tofu (RM12). Quite a big plate. The gravy was good.

Overall we loved it. Will be back to try out the other dishes!
