It was a very warm Saturday last week. Hubby and I went to Padungan to do some furniture survey. Maybe it is a long weekend with 4 days holiday (Good Friday and no school on Easter Monday today) so Kuching is pretty jammed over the weekend.
We parked our car just next to the famous white cat statue and walked to this corner coffee shop for lunch.
Yes, we were at hubby's favourite pork leg rice at Padungan for lunch. RM35 for a mixed platter with 2 plates of rice now. But full tummy is a happy tummy!! Lol.
As for the kids, we decided to buy the fried noodle from a stall next to the coffee shop. While waiting for the lady to cook the noodle, I took a shot of the Padungan arch.
Only left kway teow and noodle, so I ordered one pack of fried noodle without egg for Jamie and 2 packs of fried kway teow for the two older kids.
I only managed to take photo of the fried noodle. No comment on the food from the kids, so I guess they were alright.
After we were done with our lunch, hubby and I walked all the way to the furniture shop. Never had much opportunity to walk in Jalan Padungan and really look at the shops, so it is amazing to discover what they sell!!
After done with the furniture shop, we had to walked all the way back to our car. Along the way, hubby suggested to go to this cafe and take a rest. It was very warm day, and both of us were rather tired from the walking and heat, so we hang out at this Rice King for a while, while enjoying the cozy, cold ambiance.
Hubby also ordered a basket of char siew bao (RM8) to enjoy. Not bad but we only managed to finish 2 of them. One, we packed home for Jay.
From the furniture shop to our car, it was about 15 minutes walk. Tiring and sweaty from the heat but we get to find what we wanted. And we spotted the new wall mural of the ang ku kueh in Padungan as well!! Felt like tourists enjoying the tour in our own hometown!!!

I love Padungan. Such an interesting place, all the heritage, all the nice things to eat...and all the lovely memories of my teenage years when I used to hang around there with my friends. Rice King? We have that here, franchise place but I don't think I had anything I'd go rushing back for.
Wah, what a nice park Tor with your husband and get to fulfill your objective of buying furniture and get to enjoy tasty food at leisure. Should do it more often!
Looks like that you two had a great weekend :-) Char siew bao look pretty good.
It is hot over here too. Nice mural of the angku kuih.
Walk and eat is always nice hah..hah...
