Satay Celup

炎热的夜晚,在古城的某条街道旁,有着成群结队的年轻人,一家大小的家庭,按着街道,排着队,等待着,盼望着前面长长的队伍可以以快一些的速度缩短。

这里,有着非常出名的satay celup,那一条长达几间店面的队伍似乎也响应着它的知名度。当我们开始我们的漫长的等待时,已是夜晚9点30分了。

夜晚并没有给古城带来一丝清凉,也许路上不断经过的车辆让空气干燥不已,灰尘漫天飞。温室效应,夜晚,失去了清凉的本质了。

随着时间的流逝,我们的队伍也慢慢的往前移,也看见不少的人因为受不了长时间的等待,决定让他们其中一员留守位子,其他人就自行找自己的消遣。也有人选择坐在一旁店面的走廊上,干净与否,不再是考量。电子科技的发达也帮上不少人打发时间,看戏的,玩游戏的,八仙过海,各显神通,大家都有自己的消遣时间的办法。

漫长的等待,炎热的天气,不止消磨了人的体力,也消磨了人的耐心。人,就可能变得比较暴躁,有时候,冲突就发生了。

当我们踏进那家店时,已是夜晚11点了,漫长的等待,也消磨了大家的食欲,大家都有种赶快吃完,赶快离开的感觉。

将近两个小时的等待,值得吗?这satay celup最著名的我想就是他们把沙爹的酱汁稍微改良了,浓浓的酱配搭些许的辣味,而且,他们把酱当成汤料,其实就是类似刷刷锅的吃法,只是汤料改成了沙爹酱。一串串的食料,以沙爹的形态,任君选择,一串九十仙,其实也不便宜。

我们8个人,也只吃了百多串,大家都没有太好的胃口了,其中一个朋友,已经昏昏欲睡了。不知觉的,我们其实也吃了一个小时左右,也不怪外面的队伍如此的长。

当我们出来是,看见队伍依然和我们刚排队时一样的长,不禁感叹,人,真的是疯狂的动物啊。

是否值得?如果不需要等太长的时间,试试无妨,但是,如果需要排上个一个小时左右,免了吧,没有什么太特别,非试不可的道理。

The Junk - Waiyee Birthday!!!

We went to The Junk, Kuching on Thursday night, celebrating Waiyee birthday, according to her, that was her '21st' birthday, kononnya~~ hahaha...

The Junk is a western food restaurant, located at Kuching town, in a shop that you could easily pass by without noticing it. Why's that? It is because The Junk unlike any other western food restaurants, it actually pretty dark inside, only one small spotlight on the top of each table, perhaps they are trying to establish the romantic feeling. Well, they succeed. The overall decorations of the restaurant, like my friend said in her blog, old fashioned!!! haha. You can see lot of oil lamps hanging on the top of the staircases, that reminded me of my childhood. Well, not to say my family was using oil lamps when I was kid, I am not that old yet, haha. It just that I used to see these oil lamps in my house, I believed they were used when my dad was a kid!!


The Junk is also well known for the price of the food served. That's why after almost 5 years staying in Kuching, I never been there before, first, I am not a fan of western food, second, it is too expensive, haha. However, sometimes, we just have to try it, and seriously, we were all well satisfied.Before they served the food and the drinks, they actually serve every table with a bottle of cold water.

Enough for 5 person, I felt like the shape of the bottl, quite weird....(=.=)''


Fish and Chip

Seafood Risotto

Prawn Garlic Angel Hair

Salmon Steak

Lemonglass Chicken

Fruit Crush
 
You can see from the pictures, the food are actually very well prepared, and just by the look of the food, bet you might want to give it a try already, and not to mention, it actually tasted a lot better than other western food restaurants that I had been before. I only been to err, four western food restaurants before, though, haha.

For those who concern about the portion, people like me, who used to eat lot, you shouldn't be worry about that. As you can see from the pictures, the portion of the food quite big actually, but the plates, are actually even bigger, haha. But dont worry, you will feed well, trust me!

See, how big is the PLATE??!!

A picture that edited by the Birthday Girl, shouldn't be hard to guess who's she!!!
