Chop Jing Chew est. 1946

Chop Jing Chew is an institution among Bruneians particularly those raised in or living in the Brunei/Muara district. It kinda reminds me of the tv-series Cheers except it isn't a pub. But the atmosphere's the same...

You see familiar faces every week...

The waiters however busy, will always find time to chit chat with you. Maybe this is because they're fascinated with the camera gear that we always bring with us...

So that we can exchange information and learn new tricks and techniques in photography...

But at the end of the morning, everyone has their fill of roti kuning kawin, teh tarik, zima kway teow, and those hot buns straight out of the oven heheh!

    Visited Jing Chew two years ago when I came home to visit my family from Aussie. My dad said they make the best egg tart and you have to be there at the right time to get your hands on them. Unfortunately we were only able to get two... and had to share between four....tells you how popular the egg tarts are...

    I had roti kawin - i thought it was the best roti in the world...

    Read your restaurant reviews. A lot of the restaurants I had never heard of or been too... but they looked great, will definitely keep in mind to visit your blog again before I visit Brunei again...

    You got that right chief...

    "Where everybody knows your name~"

    That place is starting to grow on me.

    I wonder a few months down the line, when you walk into Jing Chew, all the patrons would shout... "Reeda! Hey!"

AnakBrunei Charity Calendar 2007

Couple of days ago, fellow poklen and rabid blogger Ziq mentioned that he would be placing his order for my calendar. Well Ziq, its time to put your money where your mouth is! Presenting the inaugural, exclusive anakbrunei.org Calendar 2007! It features some of my favorite works from this year. Obviously having to choose only 12 photos out of hundreds means some of my other favorites get left behind... This glossy calendar is printed on photographic quality paper and comes in A4 size ONLY. It's printed individually so you can personalize it with a line of text of your choosing (e.g. names, special message etc) at the bottom. How much is it you ask? Well, it's gonna cost you B$5.00 for each of these babies... WAIT! Before you start thinking its a ripoff, think about this... for every calendar sold, HALF will be donated to SMARTER Brunei - Society for the Management of Autism Related issues in Training, Education and Resources. Pretty good value considering you will be buyin...
