Sibu - Kuching Trip Part 2

On the 3rd day of the trip, we travelled 7 hours by bus from Sibu to Kuching early in the morning. Around 2p.m, we finally reached Kuching after a long and boring journey. Alex's friend, Yong Wei was just in time to pick us up. Quickly, we went to a Taiwanese restaurant to have our lunch. (Our stomach were making noise). After our lunch, we travelled around Kuching town.

Continuously, we headed to a suburban area, Bau where there is a mining lake. Bau was named after an incident where many miners died due to rocks collaption. Then, the place produced a kind of smell. Meanwhile, the mining lake was famous because there was a lot of unexplainable accidents happened till the government decided to close it. After a short drop-by at Wind Cave, we travelled to Sematan, the border of Malaysia-Indonesia for 1 and half hours to visit Palm Beach. I almost pengsan in the car.

Pity we just stay there for around 30 mins and headed back to town to cari makan. Yong Wei brought us to Kuching 'wei sei kai' at Jalan Song It's standard can be compare with Kl's 'wei sei kai' ler. I tried pork burger but cant differentiate with the chicken burger. Haha!!!


On the next day, we finally tried Sarawak's laksa and it was delicious and different from Penang's laksa. A must try food if you visit Kuching. Then we visited some resorts and Sarawak's Cultural Village. Too bad we were late to Cultural Village and most section had closed. At night, we went to try local famous 'Gui Zap'. It was a stall and might looks unhygienic but was tasty.


A must visit place!!!!

The following day, we went to Pulau Baku to see Proboscis. Unfortunately, we couldnt have a clear view of Proboscis. But we saw something else, Boar. It was eating beside the restaurant when we reached. The animals we saw most were monkeys. They were just like cats appear surrounding us. They were very fierce and bold. Once you are not alert, your food will be grabbed by them. It happened to my friend's chipsmore. At night we had our dinner at a western restaurant, The Junk.
Monkeys!!! Can be seen everywhere in Pulau Baku.

Boars Fighting!!!

Didnt bluff you guys la!!!! See....

Proboscis. Can see ar???


Nah!!! Not me, is the plant. Haha!!!

On the last day, we managed to visit the Kuching's museum in the morning. Then, we went to look for some souvenirs but just bought some peppers and pepper sugar. Before we left for airport, we had 'Belacan Mee' as our lunch. It had appeared in 'A Hong' cooking show before but the taste quite weird.

The most sweating part happened. We almost missed our flight. Haha!! We didn't expect traffic jam on our way. Luckily, 1 of my friend was there and help us to confirm our seat. Thanks, Jeffery.Among the food i tried in Kuching, this is the best to me. Very Very delicious er... For those who likes to eat pig's spanar, you gotta love it

Sibu - Kuching Trip

It had been a time since my last post. Well, finally everything seems to settle down and got time for me to update my blog before class resume again....

Let me start with the Sibu-Kuching trip which actually happened 3 weeks ago, haha!!! This was a 6 days 5 nights trip which was organized by Alexender. Only got Chin Yik and me in the trip. ( just to give some face to him, haha!!!)

On the first 2 days, i had experience some simple and peaceful life in Sibu. Although Sibu has not much interesting place to visit, we enjoyed it. During the 2 days in Sibu, what we did most were eating and visiting parks. Sibu famous foods were 'Kampua', kind of noodle and 'Kong Pia', kind of bread. Besides, Sibu has the tallest building of Sarawak and the biggest wet market of Malaysia ler. Dont play play oo, haha!!!( reference: alex). Morover, have you guys experience watching movie in cinema with just 10 ppl?? haha!!! I did.

The tallest building in Sarawak, 'San Yan Da Sa'


The biggest wet market, so called Floated Market.


Borneo's local fast food, Sugar Bun.

'Bamboo Chicken', which cost us rm10 ler, kena cheated. We were told that there will be 6 pieces of big size chicken meat inside the bamboo. Eventually, you see yourself la.

Beside me, Alex and Chin Yik in this trip, we had Kiwi and his friend, Dennis and Kiwi's mum as our tour guide. Brought us around sibu and keep treating us. Thank you very much...
