piasau boat club

a family regular place, if anything for our munchkins place to release energy at the playground and the beach. the dolphin swing being the all time favourite and everything else second. the club was setup by the company to help provide some recreation facilities for the staff, mainly for the expats to not worry about what to cook. its located within the piasau camp area, a members club but was told that you can walk in and pay cash too if you want to eat at the restaurant, else it works by a chit system. the makan is ok overall, it has a range of locals and western favourites, and even catering to some part of our demographics, it even feature bitterballens (dutch deep fried meat stuffed doughballs). its not the same as the haram version in nl, but those were the jahiliah days...a good thing about this place is they dont use msg in their recipes so you dont get that thirsty feeling after you had your meal even after downing a few glasses of drinks. so whats good? the laksa sarawak is quite alright, chicken chop is pretty and burgers. they do a kuching style noodle, which is tomato based, pretty good too. if you have a big group go for the beef black pepper honey, or if your on company lunch, go for the pre-ordered fried cod fish, it is simply deelish. the fish is slightly crispy outside but oh so tender fish meat inside, its so juicy. overall a good place to have a makan and relax during the weekends. oh and i have actually gone sailing with one of the lasers there...but havent got the helms tix yet, that to come.
