Assalammualaikum wbt,
Here comes our day 3 or final day of our vacation here in Kuching. Initially, we didn't make any plans, at first we thought we just want to stay in our room, because we're lazy like that. Haha. After breakfast, we thought, heck, we don't always come here, just go anywhere as long as not in this hotel room! So, we checked out earlier, leave our luggages at the lobby and went to Sarawak State Museum. Basically...there's nothing much in here. The museum in fact is quite erm...eerie. They have these sculptures of dead animals displayed, and somehow I could feel their dead soul whispering to me. Hahahha. The air ventilation is quite poor and with dim lights, make it even scarier to be inside there. Being chicken, I said to my husband that I am going to wait for him outside. I think the officials has plan to renovate this place soon, because I can see the other part of museum are closed down for renovations too. We even went to the other building, it is newly refurbished with air condition and has even more interactive display. The butterfly museum is also there but it was closed that day for some renovation works.
Then, from the museum, we went to Sarawak Cat Museum using our main transportation here, Grab. Well, again, nothing much in here too. I am a cat lover but somehow I found it just too much of cats here, it makes me sick hahahaha. There are a lot of cats frame and I feel they are all staring at me begging me to help release their trapped soul or something. Haha, because of dim light and poor ventilation, I felt nauseous and asked my husband to cut it short here too. Don't get me wrong, I love museum, but I prefer to see on history and old stuff, not the dead animals or ancient people's bones display in a glass. We ran out of idea where to go next and I remember about our previous Grab car recommendation to go to Pasar Sitok since it is Sunday.
We had our lunch there. I ordered Nasi Goreng Dabai, I remembered Dabai fruits can only be found here in Sarawak. I swear, I had no idea how does it looks like or taste, so when the order is arrived, I confidently eat it and nodded to my amuse, talking to myself "Ahh...this is what Dabai taste like". Which I felt stupid afterwards because it was actually my husband's Nasi Goreng Kampung! HAHAHA. I'm such an idiot, because I even offered it ro my husband, "Hey baby, you gotta taste this Dabai thingy, we don't have it back in Semenanjung".
So, this is what Nasi Goreng Dabai should looks like; That purple plum-alike taste is the Dabai fruit.
Here also, I found my favourite biscuit which are only available in Sarawak, the Gery cheese biscuit. It went viral recently, and I already planned to buy a box but yeah, we don't have enough space nor hand to carry :( So I just bought 2 packets.. jadilah.. Maybe I'll get my friend to buy it for me and post it later. Then, we took a tour around this Pasar, buying some kuih sagoo which I tasted a day before at Nady's wedding. Hanif Aiden got so restless because the weather getting hotter so we decided to get back to our hotel and wait at the lobby (since we already checking out).
Our flight that evening was delayed for an hour, but luckily after like endless running, Hanif Aiden was flat and slept all the way through even in the flight..pheww.. Thank God. Overall, I think I would love to visit Kuching again, Sarawak is so big you guys, there are many other places to discover. But mostly, I love the people here, they are so warm and friendly and helpful. They greeted us inside the lift, at the restaurant, at the lobby.. Unlike here, everybody is doing their own business, not give any care what others are doing or even a smile.. It teaches me how arrogant we, or at least myself used to be, ignoring my surrounding and strangers around me. I feel ashamed thinking about it. It's a lesson for me to always be kind, and be nice to people. Even when people don't reciprocate, don't worry, there are millions other people and they aren't all bad :) If you haven't been to Kuching, please pay a visit soon, the energy is great, the people are warm and the places are beautiful. Now that we have introduced Hanif Aiden to airplane experience, I think my husband and I are ready for our next family holiday. Maybe somewhere outside Malaysia soon? Insha Allah :)
