This trip is really an eye-opener for me. Jungle trekking and Rafflesia watching at Gunung Gading is incredible. Perhaps, I would only see the largest flower in the world once in my lifetime. Sometimes, I just couldn't believe my eyes when I see some stalls hanging fishes and selling them by the roadside on the journey from Bau to Kuching. People nowadays still do this?? Surely, watching the semi-wild Orang Utan at Semenggoh Wildlife Centre is fun too. The Orang Utans swing, eat and pee freely in the jungle like nobody business. And the squirrels steal their fruits and runaway. Freedom, is what they have.

Besides visiting the must-visit places in Sarawak, we also tried out must-eat Sarawak local food.

Tantalizing food roll here:
-Kolo Mee 干捞面 (I ate 2 times, both mee and kuey teow)
-Kam Phua Mee 干盘面 (the Origin of this mee is Sibu. Syok Habis!)
-Tomato Mee
-Sarawak Laksa (a little bit like hokkien mee or prawn mee)
-糟菜面 (one kind of Foo Chow food, tasted sour. don't know what it is called in English)
-Sambal Biding (Biding is one kind of vegetable only available in East Malaysia. Unforgettable!)
-Three-Colored Tea (normal teh ais comes with 3 colors before stirring and mixing the milk and tea together)

I was having a pleasant trip and great time of my life in Sarawak. Big big thanks to lengcai and lenglui tour guides (alister, won & her mom), my travelling companions (sfen & ailing), and friendly kuchingnites (floflo, carol & yhan). Thanks to lovely 969 and 5335 too!
