Morning Satay

Kimchi loves the History subject, so we visited the Sarawak Museum in Kuching. Entrance is free.

These are museum buildings too - National Museum and Art Museum. Had it not rained heavily, we would have made a visit to the War Memorial Park - just a walking distance away.

A view from our hotel window - in the background is the Kampong Boyan. It is accessible by a sampan ride and takes less than 2 minutes to cross the river from the jetty at the waterfront point. Fee is like RM0.50 cents per person.

In the foreground is the James Brooke Cafe. James Brooke - a significant character in the histories of Eastern Malaysia and Brunei. Do read History books to find out more =)

CQ visited Kedai Kek Lapis Dayang Salhah - a small enterprise selling kek lapis Sarawak - at Kampong Boyan. It is said to start out in the home of Dayang Salhah and as demand for her kek lapis Sarawak increases, she move her back-of-the-house-factory to a bigger one elsewhere.

Visitors or buyers included the Royals, superstars and those from the Peninsular Malaysia. During Ramadhan, business is a boom for this small cake enterprise.

Intending buyers and customers are allowed to sample the various types of kek lapis (layered cakes) in the living room before they are led to another room to make their purchases.

Prices range from RM10.00 - RM 40.00. There are also different types of colourful kek roll.

Next day CQ did some shopping at Spring - a new shopping centre. There are several eateries to choose from. So we chose to have Teppanyaki - for lunch - at the food court on ground floor.

Friends in Kuching treated CQ and family to two days of super breakfast while we were in Kuching. The roti canai and nan garlic are not to be missed besides the local dish - laksa Sarawak.

Another place to enjoy the local ayam golek and seafood is at the Saddap Court - err sorry forget to snap click lah hehee .. hmm thumbs up for the ikan pari panggang!

The last morning before CQ headed back to Sibu, we had our breakfast at Satay Ceko Cafe. Satay for breakfast?? Well, it is a breakfast menu for the locals. The satay gravy is superb so don't miss it when you are in Kuching! It is in Jalan Satok.


Bigboss gave Abang Nawi and Fendi a little chuckle when he had to eat satay early in the morning for breakfast ...lols.
