It's Back Again

To all of the anak cina Brunei again,


Still remember this place??? Looks familiar huhh?


A place that is always full during the Sunday. A place where all the uncle-uncle have their breakfast before going to work. A place where the old and the young one like to visit. A place where everyone go for its KOLOMEE!!! It's Ocean Quarry Kolomee that was before located at Jalan Madewa there. A small canteen that only serves Kolomee & Kolomee-pok!

Too bad, due to the some reasons the place was shut down.


Then it moved to Simpang 1029, Jalan Muara. It was like receiving the news of winning a lottery for everyone to know that it is back for business!


And on every Friday, me and my friends would travel extra kilometers just to enjoy the Kolomee. There are people just like us and its loyal customers that just willing to drive all the way to Jalan Muara for its kolomee & mee-pok!


It is always that exciting whenever having the ocean quarry's kolomee or mee-pok.


Just operating the business in the new area for a few months and while the business is doing great, it has to be closed down again. What a hard time and tough luck for the boss. It is so sad to know the news that the bowls, chopsticks and spoons are going to be collected in dust.

It'd had been closed for months that the tasty taste of the seasoned sauce mixed with the noodles & the fragrance of the fried shallots and spring onions that make one delicious bowl of noodle is no more but a memory!


The god does not disappoint the people who put in efforts! When there is a will, there is way! The boss is really one tough man huhh. It is really out of the blue today that I received news about the Ocean Quarry's Kolomee is opened again that really excites me.

Without waiting any longer, I drove out in the night to try my luck.


Aaahhhhhh!!! It is just so adrenaline pumping and I never thought that...


I'll be having another chance to try it again. WOOO!!! It's been so long that I ordered two bowl of it.



The Kolomee



The Kolomee-pok

After asking the waitress for confirmation & trying out the noodles, I announced that Ocean Quarry's Kolomee is really BACK IN ACTION again.


It moves to Ban Hiong Restaurant at Jalan Tutong, Simpang 600.

Ban Hiong doesn't change the owner, it just like the kolomee's boss use its place for business and profits of the kolomee sold are share among the Ocean Quarry's Kolomee and Ban Hiong Restaurant.


Moving into the new place, it gives more kick to the customers that there are much more choices for the customers to choose which Ban Hiong Restaurant serves home-made chrysanthemum, sugar-cane and soya-bean drink. And we also can eat the kolomee with extra foods like kuih-kuih cina and cooked dishes.

Mari Panggang Di Arang, Brunei

It was my first time visiting Charcoal & it was not like what I think at first.

Charcoal BBQ & GRILL had been an expensive and high-class place to dine in for me. Saw from what people had blog about it, it really serves great foods and the surrounding of the place is nicely decorated with modern contemporary design. These makes me always think that place like these would need lots of cash to visit or else end up washing dishes :)

I was wrong again all these time.


From the moment step into the place, it does amazes and surprises you!


WOW is the expression I got in Charcoal. The place is really nice which they use big sofa-chair for customer to sit which is really ass-kicking comfortable that doesn't want you to leave that place so soon! The walls are all hung with posters of old movies that bring out the classic feel.

Services are nice that we were greeted and served with smiles.


Another WOW is the menu! Charcoal so far has the most attractive menu for all the place I'd visited. There are enough details for people to know what to order and it's colorful.


Even ordering a pepsi-cola drink can be that exciting.


With the pictures of the foods added into the menu,


It just makes you saliva dripping and super duper hungry wanting to try all the foods!


As token of compliments, customers that dine-in are serves with a free plate of fried wantan skin that is crispy. Hot or Cold plain waters are also serve to the customers from the moment they sit down. With a place and services given, it just worth the price paid. And surprisingly, price of the foods are consider not that expensive when comparing in eating foods in the below.


Charcoal BBQ & Grill is a place that is specialized in serving meat foods. A place that is an ideal for those Barbeque lovers. Foods are serve in variety of choices that we can choose from...


Sea-foods


to lambs,


to steaks,



to chickens! Above is Charcoal Piri-Piri Chicken, one of the favorites in Charcoal. I had it that night. The piri-piri sauce that is spicy which makes the chicken tastes smokin' hot!!!

The place is simple, contemporary, clean and bright.


And it comes with Sofa Chair too. Kevn CKV restaurant is relax that during my visit, the place is peace and calm that accompanies with instrumental music songs where we can always hear in the hotel's lobby. They also come with different type of promotions each days except on Sunday.


Breakfast menu are available with set meals that is comfortable and easy for the working class people in BSB that they don't have to spend much time thinking to decide what to orders and save time when they are busy with their works.


For the cooked foods, they serve wide varieties range of foods from Asians Cuisine to Western Cuisine but it concentrates more in the Asian Cuisine that is more suitable to the locals.
