A particular ritual of mine when travelling is to wake up with the sun and explore the nearby streets. One can always find a eatery or 2 where the locals break fast and these are always gems. Kuching is famous for its ‘Kolo Mee’, which is blanched noodles, tossed in Pork fat and served with charsiew and minced pork. I found this small little coffeeshop behind the hotel, teeming with locals. You know when locals drive into town on a Sunday to eat breakfast, the food has got to be good. It didn’t disappoint. It just wasn’t as good as the 2 bowls I had the day before.
Taking the boat across the river. Boat trip only cost 50sen. One thing I really like about the Kuching river was the serenity. The little ferry boats were pulled by the oarsman, and you did not get any highspeed boats disturbing the peace.
The view from the opposite side of the river.
Another unblocked view of the Sarawak State Assembly (DUN) building from the other side.
I really liked that all the historical buildings had those plaques in front of them with abbreviated histories of the building. You'd notice I tried to have each building on our Heritage trail framed with its accompanying plaque.
Fort Margherita. I really liked this place. Supposedly there used to be a police museum housed in the building, but all the displays and artifacts were gone when we visited. I loved the rooms. I would so like to buy up that place to make as my home.
IS THAT ATTAP?
Boat back
Dinner was in MacDonalds at the airport. We had no choice as our flight was delayed by 2 hours. We were supposed to arrive back in Singapore at 8.15pm (I was hoping we’d be lucky to catch the National Day fireworks from the plane) but our flight only left Kuching at 9pm. I’d still fly Jetstar though, to me, it still has the best combination of comfort and cheap price.
