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.

Overall got full from eating too much ice cream so didn’t get to try out the other food stalls yet. Hopefully more to come. Maybe a part 2?

Sushi Mentai 2018

Yes! There’s a new sushi restaurant in town and it’s none other than Sushi Mentai!

Will start with the menu so that you guys can have a quick view of the selection of dishes they serve.

Their price are pretty decent.

I actually just came for the belt sushi but after being there twice I notice they mostly serve the red plates and only serve 10% of the yellow and blue plates which is quite disappointing.

They don’t have menu for the belt sushi so it’s pretty hard to order the ones that I wanted. But the one time I do so the staff in the sushi bar had a bad attitude and wasn’t keen on making the ones that I wanted.

Basically the sushi choices serve on the belt was limited and probably only 20-30% from the menu were being served. Pretty bummed about that.

So I hope they improve on the belt sushi choices and serve more varieties that is promoted in the sign above.

Ok now here are the actual food pics you all have been waiting for..

Overall it’s a pretty affordable sushi restaurant if you ask me but lots of room for improvement.
