Kuching flavours

Flew sideways to Kuching, Sarawak with intentions of experiencing the local "Hari Gawai" and see what sort of food to be located locally.


At Bidayuh villages, seen here is a different version of pulut (instead of being in a thick bamboo). The pulut is not made of glutonous rice (i.e. coconut milk) but instead of their own local rice. Almost all food is available at their own backyard. This version of pulut is said to last as long as 3 days. You gotta roll it between your hands to loosen up the rice from the edge.



Next two dishes is non-halal. Their kuey tiao includes char siew and their "bah ku teh" version is actually very mild dish, which serves with sup and rice (if want). Quite filling.

Too bad my trip was short or else I would have discovered more local food in Kuching. Next time ya?
