Welcome to Kuching!! The Kuching's famous cat statues...
Decided to pay Kuching a visit since there was a promotion on Expedia Singapore and I've never been there before even though it is so near to Singapore. 3 Nights stay at Pullman Kuching (a new 5 star Hotel) + flight only cost us $173. If you were to ask me what to do at Kuching? I will say food since Malaysia is all about food and out door activities that are close to nature.
Food wise, the 3 must try:
1. Laksa - Less creamy version of Singapore's Laksa
2. Kolo Mee. Nette thought it was too dry for her liking.
3. Midin (Jungle fern). My fav! I don't think we have this in Singapore. We had ours fried with red wine. The veg is very smooth.
We were also glad we managed to find time to chill out at 2 very cool restaurants which happened to be near our hotel.
Don't be deceived by the exterior.. The interior was amazing... I love how we had to walk through the connecting steps on water hah
My pandan green tea was delicious
Needless to say, the food cost double the prices as compared to those in the coffee shops. However if you were to convert it back, it's still cheaper than what you will expect to pay in Singapore. Furthermore, the portion is pretty pig and the quality and presentation is really good. Definitely worth visiting if anyone of you goes to Kuching.
The other cafe was backstage, just behind Junk. Apparently all 3 are under the same family. I love the interior as well.
My initial purpose of this trip was to visit the caves which I read about in a magazine. The Wind and Fairy caves. The wind cave was really dark and was filled with bats. I must say it gave me goosebumps.
Bats. Photo taken with the help of a torch shining at them.
In fact, my fav part of the trip was the trekking at Bako National Park.
Certain parts of the trail can be a little tough but it's no where near the trail of Mt Kinabalu.
I love the beach at the end of the trail.
The sky line is amazing. I simply love the clear blue sky.
We were fortunate to meet a french couple, where we decided to share a boat to move around instead of trekking all the way to various spots.
Without the boat, we won't be abt to catch one of the icon.. .the sea stack up close. It resembles a sea serpent from certain angle.
We also managed to catch some wild life like the wild boar
Proboscis
Some other kind of monkey
That's abt it for our Kuching trip. We rewarded ourselves with chocolate cakes and yummy drinks at the end of the day
