Using my time travelling old school bicycle and putting on a farmer’s hat and colourful Japanese slippers, I rode on to the 1960s and the first thing I do is of course to hunt for food. I rode my bicycle down the entrance where one takes to go into Jin Chiew, and you will see a small roundabout – go straight in and you will see a new block of buildings – and here we had arrived at Lao Di Fang restaurant ~~

Oh yes – my food senses are tingling – this looks like a place for good food!

It’s fun to check out the antiques they have – check out those old fashioned coca cola pictures and this clock

The old school fan~~

In the modern world of Iphones, how many of our younger generation had actually seen a telephone like this – I remembered using these type of dials when I was young – ahhh the memories ~~

Interesting miniature shop house

 

Old school switches

They even got a bird cage with an Angry Bird in it – showing the boss’s humorous side.

On to the food – there are satay, tongkeng (chicken butt) and chicken wings from these young gentlemen. You can order from them and eat inside the restaurant.

Grilled chicken wings ~~ hmm …

Godzilla here is so excited to show us the restaurant’s signatures ~~

First off, we got to try their rich delicious curry noodles. You can choose between chicken or seafood.

We also tried their Penyet Kway Teow, which we initially thought was deep fried kway teow but it turns out it’s fried kway teow, with ayam penyet – which was quite a unique touch. Specially for those who want to eat both Ayam Penyet and Char Kway Teow – this would be your dish!

Their braised prawn noodles is served with crispy big prawns and soaked in a gravy with a strong prawn flavour – prawn mee lovers will enjoy this dish!

It was quite surprising to see them serving Western food such as this Lamb Shank as well, which is cooked to the right tender texture and served with fries and salad.

For me, the highlight of the restaurant was their delicious kolomee. Before I came here, I originally did a post on the best halal kolomee in Brunei, which was from KTM’s Ban 4 kolomee. A lot of my readers actually wrote comments and some messaged me on facebook to tell me about Lao Di Fang’s kolomee. They have pretty good kolomee :)

On the history of this kolomee, apparently, this was the Sibu kolomee that was sold back in the late 1990s in Mata Mata – and recently they brought back the secret recipe and fused it with the Bruneian style. The Lao Di Fang’s Brunei/Sibu kolomee is reborn!

Of course, you have the option of choosing thin noodles (you mian) , thicker noodles (chu mian) or flat noodles (mian poh), If you wanna eat your kolomee in style, you can order it with deep fried big prawns like this bowl over here ~~ nyummy!!! *slurps* *NOM NOM NOM*

The Angry Bird watched as we dined, laughed and enjoyed our meal. It somehow looks sad and wished it could slingshot it’s way to our table to Nom Nom the good kolomee~~

The playful me could not resist playing around with the Old Fashioned Chinese BMX 3 Series ~~
