The Junk
The Junk is quite similar with Bla Bla Bla which is pretty big in internal that you cant discover by just looking from the outside. It had seperated sections for you to choose - take some time and you will find lot's of retro pieces within the restaurant. The Junk Restaurant which is not look like the junk, is located at Kuching Oldest Street, the Wayang Street along an old Chinese Shop House which built in the early 1900's near the Star Cineplex Area. It consist of 4 section - Bar, Red Room, White Room & A Backstage. The Junk food that serve here is sound to be overprice as compared with others place. If you have not budget then shouldn't come as original it priority customer is to serve tourism
The interior of the Junk will give you that are so different as you just looking it from outside. It might give you a flashback about the past which msot of it decorative are old past item which includes some old fashion poetry, pot & vase, cold school cabinet, old clocks, bird cages, rattan chicken coops, OLD, OLD, OLD. All is the personal collections of the owner.
So, this is ' The Junk' . Look antique but nice right? Wait till you see the interior . The lighting, the temperature, the decorative, the air temperature, really will make you feel relax and like to stay there little longer.
555 Sour - RM 9.00
The Junk is more of a Western Restaurant and they have a unique drink name the 555 Sour. Usually we name it San Suan (Triple Sour) in Kuching with just three type of sour ingredient.
But the Junk combines five different sour and sweet items to make this drink. From the name of the drink, a combination of five ingredient which consist of Calamansi Lime, Plum, Dried Mandarin Peels, and some of the other sour item that stay beneath the drink.
You may think that they were just simply throw all of the sour ingredient in one jar, however it still turned out to be great.
Smoke Duck Pizza - RM 48.00
A pizza with combination of smoke duck, mango, onions, chicken floos & Cucumber. This depend on you to judge for the price whether reasonable or not with the taste. However the portion is consider big that enough for 2 person
Quattro Formaggi Pizza - RM 35.00
Was topped with four types of cheese - Blue Cheese, Edam, Mozzarella & Parmesan. Please don't spend much time on taking picture of it as it taste better when it is still hot. I took too long to take the pictures so the cheese hardened and the pizza was already cold when we started to dig in. Cheese lover should give it a try.
Chicken Pizza - RM 28.00
Yes, you didn't see wrong, a ' Chicken Pizza' that worth RM 28.00. You will think that the taste will bring you to heaven to have such a price. However, sorry to disappoint you that this Pizza is nothing much special by just serve with just a little ingredient, even with it name Chicken Pizza, you might not even feel any chicken while eating it.
The Calamari Mango Salad - RM 30.00
It's a heavenly combination of seasoned baby octopus, calamari rings, diced mango, and assorted salad greens. My favorite way of eating it is to eat them all at once in order to savour the soft texture of octopus and calamari, the sweetness of the mangoes, and the crunch of the salad leaves all at the same time. A dish that worth a try.
The Grilled Baby Lamb Rack - RM 58.00
The lamb was juicy sweet and succulent, which was a dish that you can sink your teeth into. The dollop of mint and cream sauce on top of the lamb racks was divine. The cream sauce was notably thick and had the right level of saltiness. It will never be enough for you.
Baked Prawn - RM 58.00
The dish serves with two large cheese baked freshwater prawns. The prawns were halved and the prawn meats were scooped out and cut into bite-sized chunks, serve together with mushroom and potatoes, and finally oven-backed beneath a thick layer of cheese.
Overall, the junk nowadays is still a nice place that you should give a try, However for the dish portion as compare with it cost, some might feel like not worth the money, some might not. As now with the rapid develop of new food establishments, the junk might still worth a try even with it expensive price but can't be blame for the price as origin is a restaurant that serve for Tourism.
