*** Totally out of topic of this post... Just finished watching England vs Germany match..... Germany is the better team......They deserve the win....-End- So, I got myself some weird fruit that I never set my eyes upon and have no knowledge at all about the fruit. Was told that the fruit is called "Sui Jing" Fruit by the seller. "Sui Jing" means Crystal or something similar I think, hence the title of the post. The outer skin/husk of the fruit is hard while the flesh inside is sweet and soft. Anyway, a picture is worth a thousands words so let's have the pictures do the talking, aye? "Crystal" Fruit "Crystal" Fruit - Close up The fruit cracked open revealing the flesh inside The flesh of the fruit close up The seed There you have it, "Sui Jing Guo" or Crystal Fruit...

Well, if you have not read the post on Kuching's Highest Peak . Read now. This is an order. Ahem~~ What I did not mention in that post is how much it will cost IF you decided to go up to Kuching's Highest Peak. Generally, it will cost roughly RM200 per person to go specifically for the climb bundled in with refreshment (packed sandwich something) and a guide. Now, what is the best and cheapest way to conquer Kuching's Highest Peak? If, by now you are still not sure where is Kuching's Highest Peak, please be informed that it is Mount Penrissen. Yes, I am that considerate. Now, thank me. Back to the topic, the best and cheapest way to conquer Kuching's Highest Peak is to join the BHR Padawan Nature Challenge 2010 . Yep, you heard it right. An upcoming event on the 4th July 2010 organised by Borneo Highlands Resort and Padawan Municipal Council. Before I go on further, let do some intro on the BHR Padawan Nature Challenge 2010 for the uninitiated shall we? Directly

Not really sure whether there are other restaurants by the name Hoi Tin Lau or not in the world but what the heck, the title Hoi Tin Lau Restaurant Kuching for sure will straight away let people know that I am writing about a restaurant in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia, Earth. I am just that considerate. Ahem~~. Anyway, let's proceed. Hoi Tin Lau Restaurant is a Chinese cuisine restaurant that I went to a while back. Only now got the chance to make a post about it. Since I don't have anything to post also anyway so might as well post something that I think is nice. So, 12 of us went to have dinner at Hoi Tin Lau Restaurant the other day. It is located at Jalan Mendu. Just behind the  "Jin Sha" massage or maybe you will be more familiar with the 20 cents discount store. It used to be located at Grand Continental Hotel but have since moved to their present location at Jalan Mendu. Contact information at the end of the post. Again, I am just that considerate.
