Good day to all. First of all I would like to thanks all visitors to my blog who had visited my blog despite the fact that it has not being updated for almost 4 months. There are still more tourist attractions in Sri Aman and I will cover them in my next posting.
Today posting I am going to cover some interesting places in a place where I am staying. In Kuching especially when you are new to Kuching, sometimes one find it difficult to find a place where you can buy jungle products and vegetables in one place. In Kuching other than in Satok Sunday market, one can buy jungle products and variety of vegetables in Sunday Market located at Mile 7 town (Kota Sentosa Town) and Mile 10th town (Kota Padawan). Although both of the tamus are smaller in size compare to Satok Market but one still can find variety of jungle products and vegetables. And the best things about these two tamus compare to Satok market, the crowd is smaller........

Where are Mile 7 and Mile 10 Towns


For those of you who still do know a way or location of both of the towns (Kota Sentosa and Kota Padawan), Please refer to the map below.

Marvin's Birthday Dinner at Chicken Hartz Kuching

Tonight, 23rd May 2009 the whole family inclusive my baby sitter who is also my husband cousin Icha , having our dinner at Chicken Hertz Satok branch.

It was a birthday dinner to celebrate my second son Marvin 16th birthday. Actually Marvin birthday falls on 24th May that is tomorrow. But Sunday is always a busy day for us therefore my hubby and I had decided to celebrate it tonight instead.

Chicken Hertz has two branches in Kuching. One is located at Sarawak Plaza and another branch at Satok. Because Sarawak plaza area is always very busy on Saturday night so we chosed to have Marvin's birthday dinner at Satok branch.

The dinner started before 7.00pm. At first everyone was very excited to take their share but after few drumsticks of chicken, Nicole Helena my only daughter started to complain about the chicken...as for the rest of us, after 4-5 pieces of chicken we started to compare the taste of the chicken wing served here with the one serves by KFC ....Human being will never satisfy..

As for the birthday boy Marvin Ningkan, the thing that he hate most is eating. But tonight he eat 4 pieces of chicken. As for Leonnard he really love the food especially chicken. Tonight he only ate 5 pieces of chicken...below my expectation but I still Congratulate him as 5 pieces of chicken is considered a good performance....


Olivero Manding started-off with Spaghetti but halfway through he complained about the taste and went to get the ice-cream. As for the chicken, he only managed to finish 2 pieces ....A dismayed performance.
As For Kenneth, my eldest , he was still the champion. He ate more than 6 pieces of Chicken. Eventhough still champion but his score was lower compared to the first time that we ate here about two years back. Last time he managed to eat 7 pieces of chicken.
After everyone could not continued with their food (remember Chicken Hertz is a Eat as Much as You Could family restaurant) so left the restaurant at quarter to nine. Eventhough the taste of the chicken served was no matched with KFC chicken but everyone seemed to enjoy the dinner so much especially my hubby who had to readjust his belt in order to eat few more chickens.
To my son Marvin, the whole family would like to wish you a Happy Birthday and study hard. And to my long serving baby sitter and my husband cousin.."happy retirement" and thank you so much for being with this family for the past 10 years..

Thank You...

Sri Aman was chosen where "Aman" means peacefulness. Sri Aman brings the meaning of "Town of peace" and therefore pigeons became the symbol of Sri Aman as pigeons symbolized peacefulness.

For those who wants to visit Sri Aman, the population of Sri Aman who is culturally mixed, with mostly Iban, Malay and Chinese predominating would be very happy to welcome you all to their peaceful and beautiful town.
