PELITA Nasi Kandar

I managed to sample PELITA Nasi Kandar's dishes when I was in Kuala Lumpur recently. God I missed the curry mixture. After having spent almost more than 5 years in Penang, its really hard to find authentic Nasi Kandar in Sarawak. I would say you can find it only in Penang but well at Gelugor Minden Heights, but PELITA's one will have to do.

Unlike the Nasi Kandar stall outlets at Gelugor, this two floor PELITA restaurant which is near KLCC, looks quite grand and if you are worried about the effect it has on your wallet, don't be worried. The economic downtirn should not deter anyone away from good food.

One just needs to feast on what is offered in the pictures shown to value good food at PELITA Nasi Kandar. Those are fairly large squids.

Its a Curry Heaven, mind you!

So mouth watering that when I lined up for the food, I was drooling like a baby...foood food... Nasi Kandar mari mari.

Having only one day in KL and with only one chance at my favourite menu I had to be choosy

The other dishes were tempting too..... where else can I get these in Kuching

And finally my choice..... Yummm... fully recommended!

Terminal One

Fasten Your Seat Belts!

After four months in Sri Aman the Kuching gang decided that it was time to rehabilate me on Kuching's Clubbing scene. Enough of Angela they told me! And so I was hijacked to Terminal One - not the Kuching International Airport mind you. Coincidently, the owners, Mr. and Mrs Jack Chua (Jack & Bibiana) were celebrating their second anniversary. This place is located somewhere near Lebuh Abell (next to Petanak Market or just behind the TMI Lounge - Temuai Lounge to be exact). Actually its an old haunt of mine, the last time I took my Traxx FM Radio DJ buddies there - Patrick and Navsta (that was August 2006). There were a lot of good memories there and so I suppose revisiting the place would be a breath of fresh air - cough, cough...smoky air there.

Terminal One front Entrance

Yhe side entrance was decorated with black and white balloons

Good food was served in conjuction with the owners' second anniversary wedding

They introduced a 'Cage' deco concept with candles and this deco could be found at various corners of the place

Mr. & Mrs. Jack Chua - congrats on your second anniversary - actually they are the owners of Lounge 2 also (see my previous review on Lounge 2)

I was getting curious about those cages hanging up on the walls - what were they for? Well, I was in for a pleasant surprise

Our group had a bottle of Maccalan to kick off the party

I am not so much a whisky person as I drooled over those red wine lining up the shelf - Angela's not here I told myself

The lighting in Terminal One is just nice - not too bright and not too dark, and the music in the early hours allow decent conversation to take place with a cozy environment

Due to the special event, the place was packed with customers who came as early as 7 p.m. By late night it gets a bit crowded and the music beat increases its tempo

And we had a fire eating show by the bartender - I had no idea that this is available in the Kuching party scene - either that or I was totally out of tune on recent happenings in Kuching. In the initial action here you see him swallowing a glass of spirit

He juggles the whisky bottles which were already lighted with fire

And finally the 'huff and puff' - he sprays that spirit from his mouth which lighted the flame - we have a Live Fire Eating Dragon here!

Finally the Grand Finale I guess - they had two live songbirds doing their stuff in the cages ~ so now we know what these cages were for.

This is a first for me - in Kuching I mean - I missed these scenes for a while but I did not really go ga ga as I would last time. Usually I will jump into the cage and try to rescue those birds~ but I just watched and watched. Anyway, due to the few glasses and catching up sessions I knocked off early for the first time (at 10 p.m) and so did my friends - 'don't you dare put our pics in the blog' they said and for the first time I respect their wish!
