Kuching, Sarawak (Part One)

The F&F Squad decided to touched down and spent a few days hanging around in the Cats City aka Kuching, Sarawak courtesy of Air Asia! Kidding... they were offering free tix promotion recently.

Paired with soon-to-be husband & wife, Rourou and Hois joined along by home boy Casa who acted as our local guide, we had quite some great time on our trip there. The fact is I've never been to Kuching, was hoping to experience the life there and also catch a real S'wakian Orang Utan, like the one below.

Meet Kenny Sia...


The Cat Museum (ground floor of Dewan Bandaraya Kuching Utara, DBKU) located on top of Bukit Siol, 60 meteres above sea level. Beautiful sceneries overlooking the Cat city, I'd say.

Tried to imitate the lovely cats behind, but I failed miserably.


1 unique museum, showcasing everything related to the world of cats. You'll find artifacts and memorabilia's from all over the world. Entrance's free btw.


Stopped by the Holiday Inn Damai Lagoon Resort in Santubong, isolated from the city area. Has a nice resort ambiance to it.


Pretty nice beach with chalets around, this place definitely makes a nice romantic getaway!


We chilled and relaxed there for quite some time, looking at the beautiful sea front and listening to the waves. Like what Borat said, nice...


Hopped over to Sarawak Cultural Village, hoping to see the diverse tribes, their culture and lifestyle. However, we were put off by the ridiculously expensive entrance fee, even for Malaysians like us. No doubt, we left after that. Talk about double standard!


Something cheap, we stopped by the stalls on the road side to have some coconuts on the way back to the city.


Went over to the Sarawak State Museum next, we visited several museums there as well. Would have been much more interesting if they have more things in there.


In the Art Museum, RR and home boy Casa touching the wooden statue's wee-wee. Wonder what are they both praying for... something big?


Not to be missed are the food! Here's the authentic Kuching Kolo Mee! Had a number of them during my stay - simply delicious. Also must try are "3, 4 or 5 layer Teh-C-Peng" (available in all kopitiams ), tomato fried noodles (forgot the place), belacan noodles (forgot the place as well) and the popular "Sio Bee" (Sin Kwang Heng, open air market). We ate almost everything there! Kenny Sia has a better review here on S'wak food!

Coming up next will be highlight of our Kuching trip, our adventure in Bako National Park! Later in part 2 I guess, not now. Very sleepy, ciao.
