SUKA MAKAN: BLA BLA BLA... IN KUCHING (SARAWAK)



Never thought a Chinese restaurant could have such a name. This sounds more like a coffee place or bar, where people choose to hang out to gossip or bitch. Bla bla bla... is for real, a recommendation of a friend of ours, located in an unprepossessing row of shop houses a walking distance south of our hotel. 




They do traditional Chinese dishes, but with an Asian fusion twist. That may be sensed in the restaurant's decor, which is chic and modern, very unlike most Chinese restaurants. Upon entering, you are faced with a koi pond with steps to avoid getting wet, and the dining area is either behind the main building or upstairs of the shop house. 


The dishes are huge. And very tasty. The small portions can feed three or four people, so we had to take away the left-overs. Just build up a big appetite before coming. We had no reservation, and the eating space was full, mostly families and communal groups, and a few tourists. Will definitely come back again.

Lots and lots of greens,
