Last night one of my best friends, Edmund took us out for dinner at Tom’s before he leaves for
Later that evening we went to Tom’s and were ushered to the first floor where Edmund has made a special reservation for a table of 10. The sparse but spacious (not including the back balcony, there was only one table on the entire first floor!), tastefully decorated interior and the quiet surroundings truly make for a pampered and luxurious atmosphere. I ordered the lamb shanks with brown sauce as recommended by Edmund and it was truly the best lamb shank I had for a long time (washed down with fine australian red wine) and the preceding French onion soup was also outstanding. To top it off we had the most delicious durian, yes you read it right, ice cream! Our kudos to Thomas, the owner and chef, of this outstanding restaurant in Kuching; and of course Edmund for his company and treating us there. Now I am well fortified to face the dreaded coming work week after the Chinese New Year!
