The obligatory cold starter dish of Phoenix Cold Hors D'oeuvre , with poached chicken terrine, fried

Kuching's a fairly small city with an unusual history. Their rulers, called "White Rajahs", were actually white men. I learnt this little nugget of information from an Ipohite friend of mine. This probably explains the prevalence of extremely English names of many of the roads, why English is very widely spoken throughout Kuching, and the predominance of Christianity and Catholicism throughout Kuching.
Also, I've noticed that Kuching cheap hotels in san francisco is really quite a "neat" and clean city, which sets it apart from the other Malaysian cities I've been to, like Kuala Lumpur and Malacca, both of which are vibrant in their "messiness". Buildings are all laid out in neat lines so the city looks somewhat like Legoland, or Melbourne from the air.
Of course, there aren't that many big chain hotels here, and definitely not of the super swanky Ritz type. The Riverside Majestic is one of the major hotels in Kuching, cheap hotels in san francisco and very conveniently located in the centre of the business, entertainment and dining district of Kuching. This was the last stop of the "wedding world tour" for my friend, who held a grand total of 3 weddings in 3 different countries on 3 consecutive weekends. The first in London, second in Hong Kong and the third and grandest one in Kuching. You see, both the bride and groom have lived in England for the better part of their adult lives, the bride's originally from Hong Kong, and the groom's from Kuching. I honestly don't know how they pulled it off. Here's a secret for all you getting-married couples, rope in your families and friends. They got a lot of help from their siblings, who practically organised the entire Kuching wedding for the couple.
The obligatory cold starter dish of Phoenix Cold Hors D'oeuvre , with poached chicken terrine, fried beancurd skin, marinated jellyfish, and prawn ball. Only the beancurd skin was passable. The jellyfish was limpid, the chicken terrine was powdery and the prawn ball was just not very tasty.
I had a tough time finishing up the Shark's Fin Soup with Prawn, Crabmeat Mushroom . I kept picking out bits of crab shell from the soup, the shark's fin was also tough and rubbery, and the soup base was too starchy, with little blobs of starch floating around the soup. Suffice it to say, I didn't go for seconds.
This was probably the best dish of the night, Stewed Mixed Vegetables with Bamboo Pith, Mushroom and Cashew Nuts . The vegetables were crunchy enough, but too much flour made the seasoning a little too starchy.
