Grandpa cafe 阿公馆 @ Sibu , Malaysia

Tada, how's your time ? Still left two months to next year. Are you ready to welcome next year ?

Recently I discover a delicious restaurant which recommended by my friend. The main theme is Japanese cuisine. If you read my blog from the beginning, you will know how much I love Japanese food.

The atmosphere of restaurant is elegant and relaxing, it gives a quiet environment to dine in. My favorites always are grilled chicken and fried chicken rice bowl. Here it is.

All of the table and chair are made from wood.

I love their barley drink ! YUMSS ! ( I'm going to try out their other drink , I will upload at the end of the post so stay tune ! )

真材实料的薏米 ~

This is their gyoza , rich tastes and juicy ! There are a huge stuffing inside. 

This is Fried Teriyaki Meat Rice Bowl.

While mine is Fried Grilled Rice Bowl.

Served with dark soy sauce and sesame sauces and BBQ sauces (?) , the dish leaves a lingering aftertaste on the tongue. After a bite taste a little bit bitter I guess ?

By the way ( I think I order the wrong dish , I go and take away what actually I want tho. )

 This is GRILLED CHICKEN RICE BOWL. ( I thought grilled and fried grilled are the same lol but actually is not ! ) Don't get me wrong, maybe some of you like fried grilled. I love grilled more than fried one.

YASSS ! DELICIOUS ! 

PS : The owner is very kind and gentle, and it is very easy to get along with !

GERINO HOTPOT / Hot & Spicy Steamboat 帅锅辣魅火锅

It is a kind of hotpot restaurant that you order the dishes from the menu. There are a lot of lavish choices such as prawn, seafood, beef, chicken, vegetables.

There are three type of based soup choose which is light soup, herb soup and spicy soup. I don't like to eat spicy so I don't know who the taste is like but for the dressing you can take it beside the counter.

I choose light soup and herb soup. Light soup basically taste nothing because it's light until you want to have the dressing. I prefer herb soup, it has rich aroma and taste, bring a little salty.

PS: You can refill the broth if the soup is finished.

This was the set that include everything so my friend and I ordered three set of  platter which were vegetables, beef and chicken meat and seafood. It costed around nearly 100. One scoop of ice cream cost 1.

Mostly the side dishes around 3 - 4 , my friend wanted to try different way and she didn't believe order plate by plate also cost 100. But there is nothing different 'cause it also cost around 90 lol. ;p;

We ordered beef and fish meat, handmade prawn balls and some side dishes.

Personally I prefer a complete set of meal which is the cheapest in the menu. Ordered One main meal will free of drink, they offer jasmine green tea and herb tea.

I also prefer their MATCHA crepe cake. I love it.

Fruits Must Try In Malaysia

Hello everyone ! I'm here again ! Today I would like to introduce some of our local fruits in Malaysia. I don't know how other Asian countries like , but mostly our fruits here are sweet and big size. Choices of Malaysian fruits vary too , and now I choose some of the fruits you shall not MISS it.

Dabai

Seasonal fruits , black olives or commonly named ‘dabai’, white in colour when unripe but turn black when ripe, can be found wild grown too. Usually it needs to be soaked with lukewarm water around 10 to 15 minutes until they are soft or pack inside a plastic bag and ‘ dry ’ under the sun for half an hour. Cooked black olives give a distinctive aroma if they are used in fried rice. And then you can dress with black soy sauce, a few drops of cooking / olive oil with sugar. YUM !

Durian

Durian is king of fruits , the creamy fresh meat is wrapped in thorny green shell. When the durian is unripe , it cannot be opened, you have to wait until it's ripe then it will be easily opened. Usually we can stand on the durian then it will opens. * how heavy we are lol * We especially recommend Musang King ( 猫山王 )

Mangosteen

The white meat wrapped inside a purple hard shell. We named it consort or queen of fruits.  Just break the green top , creamy and juicy meat is waiting for you to savour. It usually tastes sweet , luscious and sometime it will be a bit sour. So far I haven't met bitter one. It brings lots of benefit to health , don't be fastidious of fruits.

Snakeskin fruit / Salak

It will be little bit hard to swallow since it tastes unsmooth and rough. It covered with stinging hard fur that feel sharp thorny. Break the hard shell with hand , or use your nails to penetrate the hard shell lol. Seem a little bit hurt * hide * but still can bear the hurt. Fruit is chewy and sweet. Just like you're sitting in living room , cracking and eating the melon seeds.

Rambutan

Hairy outward appearance makes me feel cringe , but when you look closer of the fruits , touching like a fluffy cat lol what a weird describe. There are two types of rambutan which are bright red and yellow-orange. It is very easy to peel the outer skin because the skin itself is not as hard as snakeskin. Rambutan meat always impeccable luscious and juicy. Sometime we peel off the outer and seeds , make our own rambutan flavour jelly and pudding.

Langsat

Golden outer appearance , it's like a bunch of grapes , same size as normal grapes. Just peel off  paper-thin outer skin , you will see translucent and segments of fresh meat. To remind that , the seed is bitter so please avoid if you don't like the sudden bite and spoil the whole tastes lol. Be sure that not to eat too much since it is cold nature. I myself like to eat especially fresh from trees , if you put a bit longer of time , the outer is easy to turn brown , hurry up and eat it or else you might waste the food because it is too ripe.

Jack fruit

The mucilage of the fruit is sticky and vicious. You have to be careful when you peel off the shell , the mucilage is on the skin there and it will make your hand viscid. Usually we will lay a piece of recycle paper on the floor and cut it on the top. Be careful not to stain because it is very difficult to wash off. The meat is golden orange colour , rich in tastes and strong smell. We usually like to eat raw one despite that it can be cooked and eat as a leisure tea time snack.

Guava

I love this food so much since it is the lowest calories throughout the entire recommendation food. It has a bright light green skin which attracted me to see more green with my eyes. The meat itself is pink colour and it is rich of vitamin C , lycopene and antioxidants that are beneficial for skin. We always like to wait the guava until ripe , it tastes soft and sweet juicy too. Literally our locals like to eat with plum powder. Personally love original tastes !

Starfruit

Starfruit is a very low calorie local fruit. Look at horizontal view of  fruits , it looks like a star right ! Twinkle twinkle twinkle star lol , definitely not the star on the sky. Typically mellow yellow which is native favourite. Sometime just slice horizontally , each bite helps to lose weight and maintain your blood pressure !

Pomelo

A must eat in Summerrr !!! The meat oozes juice and each bite melt on your mouth ! It has an enormous amount of high fiber which helps the people who have constipation. It also helps to eliminate edema , quench thirst by eating this fruit. It is antipyretic to your body. Be cherish to the fruits !

Rose Apple

A huge cute of one fist size , pinkish outside and white meat inside. Essential fruits in Summer ! It helps to quench thirst and riches in vitamin C, dietary fiber, calcium, thaimin, niacin and  potassium. A must eat , crispy and lip-smacking sweet tastes will burst into your mouth.

Red Durian

So far I haven't seen this red durian appear in West Malaysia , mostly is native favourite in East Malaysia. It also has a thorny yellow-orange hard shell but it's easier to peel off than durian. Just stand on the durian , it will burst open. It riches in Vitamin and minerals , it boost our manganese, copper, iron, and magnesium in mineral.

Soursop

It has soft torn skin as the outer is wrapping the meat. YESSS , the meat tastes sweet despite that there are a lot of annoying black seed inside. Usually I dig up all the seed inside , each time you bite for one , sweet juice will explode in your mouth. It helps to reduce eyes disease and impressive of beneficial Antioxidants that helps to fight disease-causing cells and tumors.

Papaya

It has natural enzymes and it helps to assist on digest. Naturally help to enlarge girls breast but I haven't seen any function despite that I have eaten many many papaya even blended into juice and add in milk to form papaya milk. When you've eaten too much oily and undigested food , it helps  defecation and it will not retain stool in your stomach.

Pineapple

We eat it raw , some of the people might spread with salt to avoid stink tastes , tossed with beverages and fruit salad , blended as smoothie and ornament with meals. It is oval shape , green-yellow shell while unripe , yellow-orange shell while ripe. Cut off the small black grain because it will irritate your tongue. The tastes depend on weather , good weather it tastes sweet while rainy weather tastes sour. Extreme Sour. And also it is rich in vitamin C, iron and vitamin A.

Artocarpus odoratissimus

It is the same species as jack fruit. It has a fluffy outer skin, just tear off into two halves. The meat is white and smooth and we eat raw too. Personality I like the to eat nature sweet and this is recommended ! I love the fruit so much !

Dragon Fruit / Pitaya

Dragon fruit, also known as pitahaya or strawberry pear which is red meat inside with bright red skin. It is quite famous tropical fruit in Malaysia. But seldom see white meat dragonfruit at here. It is high nutrients , load with fiber that help to boost digest system. Use a knife and cut it into half. Then scoop out the fruit with a spoon. Or you can make it into smoothie too.

I still left one fruit to write because i forget the name of the fruits and photo lol.

By the way , please enjoy the fruit in Malaysia. I love it so much especially eat before the meal , it helps to increase satiety.

With Love ,
