KUCHING, SARAWAK

This time is Kuching, Sarawak which situated at east of Malaysia. We are lucky to get super cheap tickets to Kuching . Only RM18 (inclusive tax+ticket) by Fireflyz..Since my sweetie wants to visit his fren and Kuching itself we flew there as early as 7am. Thanx to my parents coz tlg hantar.. and to sweetie Asraf, tq coz u still made it even dalam kesibukan keje dgn 2,3 hari tak tido dapat juga pergi..hihi..THAnx! We spent 3 days, 2 nights. Trip ke Kuching ni lagi mahal dari budget i pergi ke Jogja, Indonesia k..huhu..Sini everything is quite expensive k. Datang sini macam pergi negara org lain..hehhe..sebabnya, to get here kena naik belon.. Datang Kuching, beli 1 kek lapis, 3 ekor ikan terubuk masin n key chain je..tu je yang mampu..huhu

When we arrived we were welcomed by Bad. Then we chit chatting, had breakfast then go back sleep. (to recharge energy jalan-jalan. hehe) below are some shots taken area Kuching area, waterfront, city and etc..

Lastly we went for late lunch, cant remember where this is, but i tried Sarawak's traditional food, called mee kolok. The noodles looks like maggi noodles is soaked and mixed with soya sauce. The noodles is garnished with boiled beef and eat with soup. After we had lunch, we managed to buy kek lapis sarawak and some salted ikan terubuk at shops nearby. Then proceed to airport.
