PERFUME!!!

DSC09185
A birthday celebration that was celebrated in the restaurant above. One of the famous non-halal Chinese restaurant in Brunei. It's been opened in Brunei for more than a decade and they have build their own icon since then.

DSC08506
Just like McDonald's. people see the yellow letter "M", people automatically will think of McDonald's.

DSC01640
And Thiam Hock Restaurant has the fish-head as their icon. Of all, why a "Fish-head"? That's because they are famous for its Curry FishHead. When the Chinese in Brunei thinks of Fish-Head, they'll think of Thiam Hock's Curry Fish-Head!

DSC09184
A restaurant which its starting point is from a single shop-sized big serving Curry Fish-Head every night. It is always full house during night time that people have to wait for their turn to dine in.

DSC01653
Until now a double story single shop-sized big which can occupied more people.

DSC09183
The interior of the new first floor is simple and nice that it comes with the Chinese oriental designs. The wall are decorated with Chinese Drawings, the Chinese ornamental plants are placed around, antique crafting of woods also can been in the restaurant and etc.

DSC01679
Other than its simple and nicely decorated place to dine in and its famous Curry Fish-Head, Thiam Hock also serves other nice foods too. These make them one of the favorite place to dine-in in any celebration of any occasions and reservations have to make in advance.

It's Exam Fever

DSC01717
It's EXAMINATION FEVER for those that are studying. Me as well that are having exam until the next week...

DSC08667
Everyone would like to score an "A" or Stars for their results or pass it with flying colors.

In order to do that,

DSC01722
One has to read a lot of books and notes. One has to understand and memorize all the important points from the notes. One has to do lots and lots of revision from day to night and night to day!!!

DSC08671
BUT too much of reading or hours of revision will lead to tiredness and sleepiness. So so much to read but too little time and limit energy to stay up late.

Time like these, a lot will choose COFFEE to be their new best friend. And I had mine which are

DSC01724
Nescafe Cappuccino & Nescafe Latte. Got it from parent of a friend of mine that just got back from their vacation in Australia. Both of them are nice and the smell of the coffee is fragrance.

DSC01752
Both of it are frothy coffee that made me think it is coffee tarik during the first time I made it.

DSC01742
The latte smells great that one cup of it is not enough.

DSC01745
The cappuccino pack comes with chocolate topping that makes the coffee extra taste and extra kick.

DSC01730
And the taste of the cappuccino is extra thick and also extra strong that also make you STRONG after drinking it.

One cup of hot coffee that warms the tummy up. One feeling that is great and refreshing especially during the cool and windy night for revisions. These made me come into a conclusion

.

DSC01760
A revision a cup of hot-coffee keeps you up all night long!!!

Best of all to the people that are having their exams!

Which is Mr. Joshua Goh Chee Hwa's birthday.

And this year, we decided to celebrate it at Tarindak d'Seni.

P1120055
It is a local restaurant that is newly opened last year at the same building as Brunei Arts and Handicrafts Training Centre.

DSC01464
A place where we can see the Brunei's arts and handicrafts of the master craftsmen and women weavers. It is also a place where trainings and courses are provided for people to pursue the learning of the local arts and handicrafts.

DSC01502
The restaurant is spacious and bright. The surroundings are well decorated with the handicrafts and flowers that it is all well presented under the great and bright lighting. With the decorations and also the great view of the water village that is just by the side of the building, it brings an amazing ambiance for people to dine in.

Tarindak d'Seni also has open kitchen that we can see the chef in action preparing and grilling the foods in action. I can say it is one restaurant that not only suitable for the tourists or the foreigners but also to the locals too. It is a place where we can get to understand more about Brunei in its arts, cultures, traditions and also the FOODS!

And about the foods, Tarindak d'Seni specialize in serving Malay and Local's delicacies. It is all GREAT and MARVELOUS.
