damai beach resort kuching

Hello.....
this is the second night of my 3 day 2 nite stay in kuching.....
we had stayed in Damai Beach resort.... .. a very wonderful place.... sort of like you're staying in an island kinda feeling...... had booked a superior room..
and had a view of the swimming pool, the sea and part of the mountain of Santubong.. lucky eih...
sad that we had stayed for one night only.. wish we had stayed longer....
during the day .. there's a lot of activities here...
at night time... not much you can do.... we had our dinner at a nearby fishing village..... the food was superbly fresh...

two queen beds...

flat screen tv again.. heheh..

quite big... can fit 4-6 person in this room...

outside our room... the open sea....

infront of our room...... the swimming pool...

so serene....... so calm....

Where to eat in Kuching

HHMM.... where to eat in kuching...

My vacation was mainly about food..food.. and more food..
here in kuching the seafood is amazing... and cheap... hehe... so my blogging in this post will be about the foods and the activities we did...

on our arrival.. we were greeted with 'mee kolok' at batu 7 kuching ... jolly food court (i think that was the name..) ... a special kinda noodle found only in Sarawak.. yummy... sort of wantan mee.. but much more tastier.... the noodle is made by hand ...... ( not the instant one..)
and drenched in a special sauce.... huahuahua.. nyumm..nyum..

later that nite we head off to a place called TOP SPOT seafood....
yup.. the name is truly as it is... ...top notch !
when we arrived there .. we thought that is was just a simple food court.... but owh my..
the seafood presentation made our tummy rumble.... they had laid out the seafood in a speacial  arrangement... so much seafood........ fishes.. big and small....some dead some still alive... crabs.. LIVE one.. squids... prawns... lobsters.... all sorts of seafood that i could not name each one.. WOW....

this is the stall in front of us.... the best stall is beside it....

we had spend about half an hour just gazing at the fishes and live crabs....

the atmosphere was like a typical open aired food court.. a bit hot... and stuffy...
because i came on a Saturday nite and it was dinner time... there were so many people and it was jammed packed...
we ordered and after waiting like a lifetime.... our food arrive..
i was so hungry that after each food came we all just started to eat... hahahha...
but yes.... the food was marvelous..... not so much in the presentation department...
but hey.... who cares if the taste is totally a 'plate licking' dish.....
i must say... anyone travelling to Sarawak Kuching .. must give this place a try....

breakfast the next day was at Pak Amit's Restaurant....... the place was also packed with people.. good foods always attracts .. hehhehhehhe...
the famous "Mee Kolok' was served again....
nyum....
so now i know that each restaurant  has a different recipe in making the mee kolok....
for me it was so-so...

we had our lunch at a nearby restaurant.(on the was to Damai Beach resort)... tried 'nasi briyani'.... the plated served was full of briyani rice.. i did not finish this one.... so full.... burped !

then came nite time.... hhuhuh.. next was seafood at a nearby fishing village...
a shabby restaurant.. but they served a good varity of seafood.... all fresh....
unfortunately we came a bit late.. and nearly all the 'specialties' are finished.. i.e crabs... squid... so we ordered the typical fishes.... prawns.. vege.. and shellfish...
hubby frowned at this.. he wanted to eat crab so much.. hhmm..
however...
the food here was ok and nice...
(prefered Topspot...heheh)

next morning we had our breakfast at the hotel... damai beach resort.. satang cafe...
wide variety of food choices here... there even a waffle station... nice.... Belgium waffles..
i guess hotels food are almost the same every where.... hot dogs... baked beans... local delicacies... porridge.. cornflakes...

the day to go home has arrive.... so we took this time to try out mee kolok again....
OK.. this is the best mee kolok ever..... !!!
i loved the taste.... Hj. Salleh Mee Kolok... hihih
nyumm...

nyummm...

Riverside Majestic Kuching Sarawak Review

i had my Family vacation last weekend in kuching.... it was a short trip.... 3 days two nites only... but we manage to stay in two different hotels... tried a lot of different place to eat...

my family vacation theme was FOOD and BEACH....
so we had my friend ( a local from sarawak ) to hand us a helping hand in directing us to the best food in town...

i'm gonna break my reviews into a few section.... so that it will be easier for searching and reviewing...
one for the hotel (two hotels) and another for the activities and foods...
so for this section i'm gonna review the hotel that i had stayed for the first nite  ...
the riverside majestic...

Location ..location..location...

this hotel is right in the heart of kuching city and beside the kuching river.... there's a shopping complex beside it.. so anyone missing or forgetting a thing or two can find or buy anything here.. i did .... heheh... forgot my sunblock..... ATM is also here... there's also a cinema here! so this is truly a strategic hotel for me...

this is actually an old hotel.. they did a few renovation here and there.... i.e the lobby and the club floor....
at first glance outside it seems a bit odd because it has a very small lobby... but seems sophisticated enough since it was newly upgraded....the reception area was simple but nice.... and we was greeted warmly....
check in was ok.. not too much time consuming...
my room was on the 13th floor...... deluxe room..
once i got on the floor , we smelled old drenched odors along the hall......nope..so i guess this floor was not renovated... but still my room was clean and equipped with amenities.... plus.. for muslim travelers.. there's even a 'sejadah' ....
the room was spacious enough for my son to roam freely....
i got to take the pics below.. just before my son started to terrorized he room... hehehheh.. :-)

i had a room with a view....  very nice...
The Kuching River...

the bed was a king sized bed... very comfortable...

mind the messy room.. my son had terrorized the whole room into a war zone... but the LCD TV is behind him....

....and we had a LCD 32 inch screen TV ... lovely... hihih...

overall stay was OK...
yes... i would come to this hotel again..... but i do hoope that the management would do something about the smell...

i did a review in tripadvisor alsoif you wanna check it out...

not much pics though because hubby misplace the pictures file.. dunno where they are in the computer.. must be somewhere.... will upload it when i retrieved it back...

anyway... enjoy the review...
next will be Damai Beach Resort...
