Breakfast @ Mei Kong Cafe, Bandar, Brunei

Porridge

Kolomee with Roasted Chicken

Beef Bulalo

01.05.2011 @ Mei Kong Cafe, Bandar Seri Begawan. Mei Kong Cafe located in the middle of the town just next to Big Papa's. It has been established almost 60 years ago. Open its door 365 days from early morning till past office hours.

Mei Kong Cafe used to be our every sunday favourite place for kolomee or chicken rice 4 years ago as it located just a walking distance or by car from the previous Sheraton Hotel ( now Radisson Hotel ) to the town. Since we have left Brunei for good year 2007, our list of considering the BEST kolomee and chicken rice would be forever remembered, never in our life would expect a dream come true to be in Brunei again, but yes, this is not a dream, we really moving back to Brunei again. We are glad to get a second chance to fully enjoy our so called BEST kolomee again for life!

However, with our surprise during our first visit to Mei Kong. The cafe has so much changes! we discover that no more roasted chicken hanging on the food counter from the food that we used to know, but something new to us, is that the smell of beef soup and variety of Filipino food display at the food counter. I asked one of a familiar staff who i recognized her from many years with this cafe was saying to me that only every Sunday they offers a luscious Filipino food mainly cater for Filipino customers from Sunday church. The food do look tempting and delicious.

so on this particular sunday, my hubby thought of trying the soup tulang or i should say its the Filipino Beef Bulalo ( beef bone marrow soup ). Me stick to my favourite kolomee and a chicken porridge for my son. I have no comment on my kolomee, its forever delicious! :) yum yum !! and the soup was flavourful too as well as the porridge was good.

Mei Kong also served a variety of delicious food on the menu and pictures on the wall to choose from any kind of chinese style, nyonya cooking with rice to dimsum & many daily homemade desserts drinks.

Aqil Shafiee Thai Food Restaurant, Jerudong Brunei

Mango Fish Fillet

TOm Yam Soup

Papaya Salad

Stirfried Beef with Basil

07.05.2011 @ Aqil Shafiee Thai Food Restaurant, Jerudong. Brunei. One of the many thai food restaurant that offer some delicious authentic Thai cuisines. Tonight is the Mother's Day Eve....so i expected to be packed with diners and it was so true. This is our 2nd time here and as always every table full of customers, service staff are super busy in and out.

Order my favourite dishes, the Som Tom- the Papaya Thai salad, Tom Yam Kung, Mango Fish Fillet & Stir-fried beef with Green Capsicum & Thai sweet basil, we have lime juice, apple juice & hot tea.

Food was great but i was little disappointed with the fish fillet quality. Its a little too hard and chewy. I should stick to my first choice of having the whole fish instead of fillet!! i wonder what happen to the fillet? it wasn't fresh or it has been fried and kept too long ... i suggested that whoever order the meant to be whole fish dishes, don't go for fish fillet. Whole fish always satisfying. Its my first time with fillets though.... cos I thought of having a big whole fish for two person is a little too much for that night.

English High Tea @ The Empire Hotel & Country Club Brunei

02.03.2011 @ Lobby Lounge, The Empire Hotell & Country Club, Brunei. English High Tea is available every Monday to Thursday at 3pm - 6pm. I invited my friend to join me. I can really get use to this! :)

We served with a High Tea 3-tier Tray with mini assorted Malay kueh & sliced cakes, The Empire signature Scones & assorted sandwiches.

There is something that i must HIGHLIGHT to all, is the Empire "SCONE". The Empire SCONE i guess is the BEST so far that i had compared to others in town. Let me describe a little about the scone, it is so warm & you can taste the crisp from the outside with an interior that is light and fluffy with a rich buttery flavour in the inside and most of all, the freshness of the scones from the oven, served with jam and whipped cream. It so delicious! never had enough of it at all time. The BEST scone in town, there's no way no where can compare to the Empire Scones!
