Kuching, Malaysia

Kuching was a stopover on our way to enter Kalimantan. It is a beautiful capital city of Sarawak in East Malaysia with lots of cat statues all over town.

We were only in the city briefly but we ate a lot!

Wild fern - a popular vegetable in the city that can be stir-fried into a yummy dish.



Fried eggs with cut-up long beans - typical home-cooked food.

Sweet & sour fish - Kuching has fresh seafood.


Tofu & salted vegetable soup



Night life is pretty quiet in Kuching but we found this restaurant operating till late for supper.


Stir-fried yam paste - the usual kind we get is made of radish.



A popular restaurant with all kinds of local food.


Kolo meehoon



A Hakka dish, Lui Cha - the dish is prepared with 7 types of vegetable finely chopped to be served with white rice. Peanuts and green vegetable tea are added. Mix all ingredients and you'll get a healthy vegetarian meal.



Rojak or fruit salad - not the best I had, I must say.



Signature food - Kolo Mee.



Kueh Chap - pig's intestines, dried beancurd and boiled egg served in herbal soup.


Signature food - Laksa or curry noodle.


Ais Batu Campur or ABC - quite nice, especially on a hot day.


Something to bring home as gifts - rice crackers. Sarawak produced tasty highland rice that is used for this snack. So it is extra tasty!
