Exotic Sarawakian Gastronomic Delights
I did some shopping along the Main Bazaar Street this morning - I bought an antique Belian wood fruit bowl, an antique Iban Puah tapestry to hang in my living room and a Melanau bridal tapestry for my bedroom - in case I'm remarrying, hehehe, once I've made up my mind :) Eeenee Meenee Meenee Mo? The Medicine Man keep saying he's giving me an opportunity to find a better suitor and if by next year, I still think he's the best for me, then we can decide to tie the knot next year. How considerate, although I don't quite understand him, and why he does things the way he did.
Oopss...I have digressed! Anyways...
While Kuching is not famous for their textiles, I do like their Puah designs on silk fabrics. I bought a piece for myself. I also bought a couple of Sarawakian Batik, one is for The Boss, I know she will love it. I also got a purse made of fragrant tree bark for White Flower, and some souvenirs for my other colleagues. For my best friends, I bought them beaded jewelry, very nice ones.
As my flight home is this evening at 10:00 p.m., and I had to check in by 8:00pm, we had an early dinner at 5:00 p.m. with Mom, Hafidz, Aunt Buang, Uncle Harris and my cousin, Mimi, at Hatta's newly opened restaurant on the Ground Floor of Medan Pelita Building called MyKampung.Com Cafe.
Hatta promised us an unforgettable Exotic Sarawakian Gastronomic Delights. Carefully prepared menu included Steamed Bario Rice in Bamboo, Pansuh Ayam, Umei, Gulai Midin, Udang Galah Goreng (Fried Prawns), Ikan Terubuk Bakar, Tumpek. I am also hooked on Ulam Bunga Kunyit (Turmeric Flower) that you dip in Sambal Belachan. Truly a heavenly gastronomic delight indeed and I especially remember Pansuh Ayam and Ulam Bunga Kunyit - a taste that still tantalize my taste buds.
I definitely will come by MyKampung.Com Cafe on my next trip to Kuching - the walk to the restaurant from Hilton Kuching along the waterfront is a trip worth taking. Food and travel always go hand in hand, like love and marriage.
I left Kuching with a heavy heart - but with hope to return to this riverine city very soon. Especially with Air Asia's unbelievably cheaply priced air tickets!
