Excapade Sushi II

Yet another Sushi Feast ~ 23rd October 2009
From Travels
* great shot by one of my mates =)
Barely a week after my very 1st trip to the sashimi heaven just across the border, I’ve made a return trip for brunch, since it was a public holiday, this time with my regular lunch/dinner mates. This time round we’ve managed to sample a much larger variety of the goodies, since there were more numbers of eager & hungry tummies to fill Looks like this is going to be quite a frequent affair, especially when there’s a public holiday… =p
Managed to cross the border for a lunch feast, come back & head for the airport in time to catch my flight to KL in the evening for a week-long of SAP training which, commences today.
* stuck in a hotel that charges RM1.90 per minute of surfing!! So I guess I won’t be updating as often =(

Excapade Sushi

Ever since i set foot in Miri, i've been hearing people singing praises about this little sushi place just across the border in Brunei. Finally had my chance to check it out only recently when i tagged along with my buddies for a trip to Kuala Belait, one of the towns nearer to the border. That was actually my 2nd trip only to Brunei,. the 1st being a biz trip to the adjacent town of Seria which, is also a mere 45 mins drive from Miri. This little sushi joint had actually spawned into a franchise; offering a huge variety of selection & generous serving portions ~ making it a food haven for sashimi lovers like me =p

Here's the joint in KB; doesn't look all to grand from the outside, but the ambience inside is just great & the food offerings, heavenly =)

Catch my drift yet? =p
On our way there, we passed by a bush fire which, was still raging on, on our way back a good couple of hours later... *bush fires are a common sighting here, especially in Miri

Also managed to do a bit of groceries shopping while we were there. Hauled back quite a bit of ration to fill up my fridge. In the supermarkets there, is easy to tell if you're from across the border; i.e Miri. Coz they'd haul back tons of a certain goodie, by the name of Redondo *like yours truly =p * ~ only costs a mere 1.75 to 3.30 Brunei dollars there; here? RM16 ++ ! wtf!!

* As i'm typing, i'm also packing up & getting ready to go for another sushi brunch there, then head back straight for the airport to catch my flight to KL this evening... =)
