It was an honour to be part of history on AirBorneo’s inaugural flight to KUL.
Supposed to be a quick day trip with less than an hour on the ground at KLIA, but a minor technical error delayed our return. Takpe la, yang penting selamat, kan.
Even though it was a super short and tiring trip (memang the whole time dalam departure hall je), sempat la jugak tapao roti Gardenia & Massimo bawak balik.
Harap AirBorneo terus maju jaya untuk Sarawakku Sayang.
1. Soru Izakaya, Saradise.
2. Ginza Japanese Restaurant 銀座和食レストラン, Saradise.
3. Sushi Zanmai, Vivacity
4. Zu Sakuraitei. Known for its fresh sashimi. But I had a not really good experience with their tempura, it's too oily.
5. 山河 Sanga Japanese Restaurant-Kuching

| Tokyo Bento - RM18 |
6. Oishi Japanese Restaurant
1. Cookai, Saradise. Non halal.
It is better to make a booking beforehand, they serve limited bowls per day.
2. Rising Ramen, CityOne Megamall. Non halal.
If you want a fast and easy ramen, this is the place to be, so far they always have this menu available. No booking is required.
3. Ajisen Ramen, Vivacity Megamall, Kuching. Non halal.
It can be a bit too salty sometimes.
4. Senchiru Izakaya, Saradise, Kuching.
Non-halal . Urayaki Buta Noodle.
5. Himawari Ramen Bar. Halal. Always a long queue, open from 8:30-3pm.
This small restaurant is famous among Muslim customers. Since the restaurant is small, you can always see the long queue outside. be prepared to wait for more than an hour. Not the best in my opinion, more like a beef noodle for me, they make really good tick broth. But hey, don't take my word for it, go and try it out, and do let me know ya.
Best Teppanyaki place in Kuching:
Updated on 30 May 2024
After our not-so-pleasant experience when renewing Eugene’s passport in April. We wanted to try using online renewal this time around.
1st, we got Emmett's photo taken at an old photo studio near our house. Just a passport photo, shouldn't be that difficult, right? Wrong..
Then, I uploaded his photo to the online portal; for child below 18, you have to upload their birth certificate too. Payment must be made before you can submit your final application. Got an email on the next working day saying there was an error in the photo. No specific reason was mentioned. I suspect the orange color collar or the over-edited photo by the photo studio.
So we went for a 2nd photo taking, this time at a reputable photo studio in Satok. The photo was professionally done, not overly edited, and a dark jacket was also provided. I uploaded the new photo to the portal again. And I got another error email on the next working today. Again, there is no indication of what’s wrong with the photo uploaded.
So, what should we do next? Go take another photo? We already spent RM45 so far on the 2 photos. Might as well just go to the immigration office to find out more.
So on Wednesday, after picking up Emmett from school, we went to UTC Kuching. We reach UTC at around 3:15pm. All documents are ready in my beg pack: laptop in case they need the softcopy of the previous photos, extra floth in case Emmet’s shirt in case the one his is was wearing not dark enough. My IC, Emmett’s IC, birth cert, and his old passport. All has to be in original and also a photocopy.
There were not many people when we reached there, maybe around 20. I explained our situation to the Abang immigration at the reception counter. The Abang immigration was so helpful, he said these things happened. And he said why didn’t you just come here for the renewal? And I informed him of our not-so-pleasant experience before.
He said not to worry, we can complete the process here and take the photo on the spot. Pheww I was so relieved.
Every time there's always a drama when renewing our passport. I guess there are many things in life that depend on luck. There’s no point dwelling on it. Luckily for us, the whole process in UTC took less than 50 minutes.
Now that all our passports are valid, where should we go this year end?

One of the best non-halal Japanese Restaurants in Kuching.
This is considered quite a new restaurant in Kuching. Open about 2 years ago, then the MCO, so we didn't have a chance to go and try.
We finally went there yesterday for our dinner. I was not that hungry as I already had a boba tea earlier in the office. So I opted for something light.
Buta Avocado - RM16
I loved it.
Hubby ordered Urayaki Buta Noodle in Buta soup based, RM18. Even though it didn’t taste as authentic as what we had in Japan, the soup taste more on the sweeter side, and the noodle still a bit too hard (maybe that is why they called it noodle rather than ramen), but it is still good value for our money.
And a pot of hot green tea at RM4.
Will definitely be back to try out more, I saw quite a selection of interesting lists on their menu.
Plus they have an outdoor eating space, which is an important criteria for us when choosing our dining place. We try to avoid indoor restaurants as much as we can. Even though some may say "it’s the same la, aircond or not still risky" but that's another story for another day.
Last Saturday, I went to Perodua to service my old Perodua car.
And there's a Perodua Ativa in the showroom. Boleh tahan cantik kereta ni, harga start from RM63k. Berbaloi la jugak. I prefer Ativa compared to X50, cuma saya kurang minat dengan transmission type nyer pulak, kenapa takda yang manual? (correct me if I am wrong).
Tengok gambar je lah, kalau nak beli, kena lah test drive dulu.
Finally, last December, we went to try our luck again. We make sure we arrived early. Reach there at 9:15am, there's already queue outside, but not too long, waited for about 10 minutes and it was our turn to get into the restaurant.
The steam rice cake was ok, the drinks were really good.
Honestly, I am a bit disappointed with the ramen It tastes more like a beef stew with noodle added to it. The broth is too thick to my liking with lots of herbs and spices taste. No, I don't mean that it is spicy. I would prefer a clear soup base with lots of flavor from the bones, not from the meat. If you know what I mean?
Well, maybe my expectation is a bit different from the rest. I have tried many various types of Japanese ramen, locally, in Singapore, and in Japan. I have never tasted anything similar to this. But then of coz, I have not tried all the different variants, maybe this is authentic to certain places or groups in Japan. If anyone knows, do let me know.
I am not saying that it is bad, I am sure many people love it, as you can see from the long queue daily. I am just saying that this is not my cup of tea.
Price:
Steamed rice water cakes RM1.10 each
Gyuniku Shoyu Ramen - Superior Beef Broth, slow Braised Australian Beef, Vegetable of the Day (long beans). Mayu. RM16.90
Organic Apple Cider Vinegar Lime Mohito RM4.90
Not sure why it has different not on google maps:
