Big Papa's Restaurant

Went to one of our lunch dates down in Kiulap area and, upon my friend's craving, we decided to go to Big Papa, since I've been there but never done a piece on it

This be the signboard and the entrance of the restaurant. It's situated in the Kiulap area and it's at the ground floor of the block next to the one where Misato is. Technically I've been here a few times, especially when my hubby's cousin/boss holds mini-functions for his staff (probably because he's a bit of a miser XD) but never really had the chance to make a piece of this place, so it's probably a good chance for me to do so





This be the interior of the restaurant. It's one of Brunei's most fast-growing and popular local fast food restaurants that serve amazing local and western cuisines at a fraction of a price, and the cooks are quite versatile in making all those food. One look at their menu and you can see a fusion of dishes served. It's pretty amazing actually, considering that this is a local branch. It's rare to see fast food restaurant actually providing food of a usual Asian/Western restaurant would provide




This be the upstairs dining/function area of the restaurant. This is where we go to whenever my hubby's cousin/boss holds his functions here, and there is even a small playhouse for the kids to play or entertain themselves in while the adults occupy themselves with their own things





Trigger-happy on the cooks of Big Papa making their magic, though you can see the frying pan looks like it's been used for quite a while without scraping off the burnt marks... -_-;;


Both of us ordered root beer while waiting for our order to arrive. The bubbles reminded me of a starlit sky XD



My friend ordered stuffed chicken meal set, and as you can see that chicken is just absolutely lathered and buried in cream, an amazingly sinful indulgence right there, though not sure what cream was it they use

This is how the inside of the stuffed chicken look like



I ordered sizzling lamb set meal coz I was gunning for something filling, and it smells and tastes absolutely amazing. The sauce blends really well with the meat and the fries and vegs were good too. The meat was quite chewy though and a bit hard to cut, so either they made it too well-done or they just used old meat

And this is how sizzling it sounds like!

Big Papa is pretty worth the place to go to for quality fast food, and affordable at the fraction of a price pay from a normal restaurant that sells the same food. Also a good place for small gatherings and mini-functions if you're feeling a little tight on the wallet

Low San Flat Noodle Shop

Another one of our cravings--noodles, this time--brought us to my part-timer's so-called best noodle shop ever, and surprisingly it's in a residential area!

This be the entrance of the shop. It's located in Low San Flat on the way to town. Apparently this place has a bit of a long standing history of selling pretty good noodles, and if I'm not wrong, belongs to a relative of one of our supers

Trigger-happy on the drinks machine, in which you can just open and grab whatever you wanna drink and make yourself at home


Chinese New Year goodies sold at the near entrance, though to be honest it looks a bit pricey ^^;;




This be the interior of the shop. It basically is the usual layout of an apartment home, only it's been converted into a mini restaurant of sorts with the supposed walls between rooms knocked off or something, though somehow it just feels kinda weird to eat in this place, like we're intruding to someone's home or something

Trigger-happy on the cute little painting they have there

Our drinks: mine grass jelly and hers chrysanthemum tea


I ordered side dish of wantan, though technically I ordered kolo wantan instead of wantan soup, but it's no big, just fine, same thing, different medium


I ordered wa tan ho coz I had a sudden craving for it, though this is actually the first time I seen wa tan ho that black. Normal wa tan ho that I've showcased and eaten so far are clear and translucent in colour of their sauce, so when this came in, I was like "Wow" when I saw it being black sauce. The very first black wa tan ho ever XD




My part-timer ordered mi sua, and this is actually another different way of cooking mi sua, as the rice wine they used is actually red in colour than the usual translucent yellowish colour, making the chicken look reddish as well


She complained that mi sua was not filling enough because of the portion and decided to order their in-house kolo mee, in which we shared together 50-50. Tastes pretty good, but a bit on the oily side actually

So if you have a craving for home-made noodles in a literal home-made sense, you can come over here and give this place a shot. I'd give it a 5.5/10

Nur Nada Enterprise

My part-timer has been dying to take me to this place where they sell the best and biggest Malay chicken rice ever, so I went along with her and see what does she have in store for me

This be the signboard of the shop. It's located within the St Andrew Night Market, or its real name Tamu Selera, now that I finally managed to get a proper glimpse at the headstone outside the area, and you have to turn right instead of left to the smaller corner of the market



This be the eatery area and the place where they work their magic. Actually I wanted to go into the kitchen and take a picture from there but better not, or else I would be accused of being a spy of sorts

Ice cold water all ready for us, so we don't need to order any drinks

A pot of water for you to wash your hands before you eat. It's a Malay culture style thing






Here be the food and sauce that went with it. I got the spicy sauce while she got the regular sauce, but she ended up being smothered and sweltered by the sauce rather than me. The chicken is quite good, albeit crunchy and the raw vegs are actually quite fresh. Judging by the size of the chicken, you wouldn't believe that it actually cost $2.50 each! Seriously, it's that cheap! Regular Malay chicken rice like that would be about $3-4 but in this case, it's $2.50! Quite a bargain

So if you have a craving for Malay chicken rice and you want a huge satisfying fill at a uber bargain price, this could actually be the place for you
