Kuching Festival 2018 (27 July – 19 August)

It’s that time of the year again, where whole of Kuching are crowded at Dewan Masyarakat MBKS for Kuching’s most iconic event of the year. This month-long food fair introduces not only the city’s local dishes but local dishes from other countries as well.

Do expect prices to be more expensive than usual and taste wise is just so so la. Can get local food cheaper and tastier at kopitiam. However, 2 reasons why I still go back is, 1 to eat those food that I usually only can have during the food fair such as Taiwan sausage, fried quail, fried ice cream..etc. Another reason is to check out what new food invention or food from other countries the locals introduce during that year. This year should be Japan’s famous summer dessert, which is the watermelon ice cream.

Went on the first day, quite bummed out as some of the stalls are still setting up and not open for business yet. But for this first round I tried mostly the ice cream and less savory dishes.

Without further ado, I shall not bore you with more words and indulge your eyes with snap shots I’ve taken from the food fair.

Sushi King Ramadhan Buffet 2018 @ RM37.90

Basically I wanted to try something different for this Year’s Ramadhan buffet. Not the usually curry, rendang and roti Canai kinda buffet.

So this year, Sushi King had this Ramadhan Buffet promo for quite a reasonable price as you can see headed in the title. Not a click bait I promise. And all those bonanza lovers out there will definitely enjoy this buffet! I thought to myself, YES all those japanese curry I could indulge too so WHY NOT! 

  
For info and T&C, pls click Sushi King Riang Ria 2018

Now, you all been waiting for FOOD PICS! Here are the Top 5 dishes I have chosen from this buffet..

  1.  
    Beef Curry Don
     
  2.  
    Sweet Sauce Salmon Cutlets
     
  3.  
    Soy Beef
     
  4.   
    Creamy Katsu Don
     
  5.  
    Tempura Sushi
     

So those are the Top 5 I felt its worth the try. Now more foodpics of the remaining dishes…

   
    
    
    
   
There’s probably 10 more dishes that I haven tried cause I have already exceeded the maximum amount of rice I take for the whole year.

For drinks, there’s the usual hot/cold green tea, roselle juice, honey and lemon.
