Sarawak Cultural Village

Image
On the 3rd day of our Kuching trip ( 1st day  and 2nd day ) , we paid a visit to Sarawak Cultural Village. At 1st, I was hesitant to go as I find the ticket price a little bit steep - at RM 60 for adult; RM 30 for child (age 6 - 12). But I was there in the end due to kiasu-ness.  Breakfast - Sarawak Laksa. My favorite in Kuching! It's so delicious I had it again the next day in another kopitiam :p But still, I think Chong Choon's Sarawak Laksa is the best.  Kampung Budaya Sarawak  We started our tour with the Cultural Show Pitcher plants lantern - I like! Bamboo bridge. Too bad it's closed. Houses for you to visit in the village The Chinese Farm House Malay House Kuih Kapit making in the Malay house   Melanau Tall House The interior of the tall house Rumah Orang Ulu - Beautiful traditional motifs painted on the totem poles, making it one of my favorite houses in Sarawak Cultural Village.

Kuching, Sarawak - Bako National Park

Image
On the 2nd day in Kuching, we woke up around 6+ in the morning and walked across the road to have kolok mee. Kolok mee reminds me of Hakka mee in KL but with slight difference in the ingredients. Our 1st try on Kolok Mee was satisfying. After breakfast, we started our journey to Bako National Park.  We paid RM 10 for entrance ticket and another RM 50 for a boat as Bako National Park is only reachable by boat (max 5 passengers in a boat but we couldn't find anyone to share the boat with us maybe coz we are too pretty and they are shy -.-). The boatman left us at the dock around 9am+ and we told him to be back around 2:30pm to pick us up.  After registering ourselves and got the map of the park, we had a discussion on which trail to take and we decided on Teluk Pandan Kecil trail where we will end up at the beach :D. The welcome sign (typical tourist shot...lol) Visitors on the boat Met him - the bearded pig Annoyed by us coz we were ...

Kuching, Sarawak - Semenggoh Wildlife Centre

It was on a lovely day, when both me and YY decided to go for a short trip. It was like this minute we were still having tea and next minute we were saying "why not we go somewhere next week?". I headed back home and spent some time on Air Asia's website. Few hours later, tickets booked. Another ad hoc decision, I love it! The best part is I have a companion this time :) The initial plan was to stay at Damai beach for two days and Kuching City Centre for one day. At the end, we scrap the plan and decided to stay in the city for three days and rent a car to make traveling around easier for us. YY at train station. We took a train from Bandar Tasik Selatan to Salak Tinggi and boarded a bus to LCCT for RM 10.80. We landed in Kuching around 9+ in the morning. After getting our car from the airport, we drove to Brookes Terrace at Jalan Abell to drop our luggage. If you are looking for a budget accommodation, Brookes Terrace is a good option. It's within walkin...
