Eat Eat Eat in Kuching =)

A recent trip brought me back to Kuching, my birth place. And, what more besides architecture that I would enjoy? Yes, food!

Well, before that, let's take a look at Kuching =)
Little India street, dotted with entrances to many side alleys, rich with local culture. Come here, and you shall experience what is 1Malaysia to the truest essence without the pretence of political propaganda.

An old shop selling all sorts of daily items from bags to cups to containers

Also an old shop, this a fabric shop

Borneo Convention Centre

Interesting screen, too bad the grass are fake plastic grass
Some local delicacies:
Dabai, dubbed the local olive

Papaya flower bud, the most bitter thing I have tried

Paku, another type of fern sourced as food

Pan mee in Miri

Sai ham, or blood cockle

Sarawak Kuching kolo mee

Sarawak laksa

You tiao with kaya

Plain you tiao, which is actually deep fried flour dough rolls

Award-winning Hakka Hopoh Lui cha at Big Mouth Food Centre below: 
You can order a bitter one or a not-bitter one, price is good for the portion.


Then on one fine night we went to a village home-cum-cafe place in Siburan, house no. 82.
