Kuching Festival 2009 – Part 3

My parents went to Kuching Festival again last night and bought some food for dinner and today’s breakfast.


Left: Sweet sour spicy chicken feet, as the name suggested, need me to say more? ;p

Right: O kueh (O = yam)


Left: Chui kueh, not easy to find good chui kueh (chui = water in Hokkien). Last time we used to buy it from Sunday Market but the old aunty no more making it. This is the best by far from Yi Yuan (I don’t know the exact name of this place, this is the Chinese name I’m giving you, it’s the Teochew restaurant located at MBKS swimming pool), my dad will surely buy it every single time he goes to food fair.

Right: Chocolate bun, had this for breakfast, steamed it and it’s ready to eat. Pretty cute don’t you think so?

Red Red Sun

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Red Red Sun


This view is no stranger to anyone. Right? I don’t mean the place, I mean the sun ;p taken last Sunday when I was on the way to Kuching Festival with my parents.

Everyday we are greeted by this red red sun because of the haze. I think it’s quite bad these days based on my own observation. Toward midnight and at dawn, the haze smell is really strong. Sometimes I would be woken up by the smell. Horrible smell.

However, I quite like the colour of the sun because you only see this kind of colour when we are under haze attack or in other words, not always ;p but I don’t like the haze. So contradicting.

Anyway, exam this weekend. No semester break this semester. Does it make any difference to me at all? No difference hahaha…

Have a great hazy weekend!

I heard that Kuching Festival Food and Trade Fair will end on 15th August and it’s confirmed by somebody but I still don’t really believe it ;p. Supposed to be on 23rd August. Means it will end in less than 10 days -.-” So short! Was told that it’s shortened because of the fasting month. I don’t understand, what it got to do with the fasting month? It should maintain open until the initial end date. It will be a great place for people to break their fast. Maybe it’s to avoid giving competition to the Ramadhan bazaars around Kuching? However, I do notice that majority of the visitors to Kuching Festival are non-Muslims.

Anyway, some of the food I had from Kuching Festival, my parents went there almost every alternate day *LOL* This year my sis will not be able to visit the food fair, thought she still can make it after we got back from Singapore but too bad… It will end early, she will miss it for the first time of her life *LOL*


Left: O Jien, usually we got the wet type at Kuching Festival, this is the first time we bought the crispy type. I notice that there are quite a number of O Jien stalls this year.

Right: Bought this at the stall selling belacan bee hoon. My dad’s favourite. Cuttlefish with chili sauce. The chili sauce is not your average chili sauce of course. It’s the chili sauce that will make or break this dish.


Left: Lim Kee’s sausage(RM2/stick). I prefer this stall than the other stall. We never miss buying this every single time we are there.

Right: Some Chinese pastry that can be found at the stall not far from SugarBun’s stall. Sesame ball and bull’s horn ;p I don’t know the real names of these hehehe…

Update: No parade this year.

It’s this event of the year again. Went there just now thinking of catching the parade but the information I got from my source was wrong -.-” Many people got wrong information also. Usually the parade is on the first Saturday of August but not this year. I just found out that it’s tomorrow. Not going tomorrow I guess…

Let’s see some photos:

Left: The main entrance as usual.
Right: The balloon stalls as usual.


People and food! Who cares about A(H1N1)? *LOL* There are more stalls this year and the arrangement is slightly different compare to the passed few years’.


I bought two things to eat there, the fried burger and multi flavoured fruits mua chee.

The deep-fried burger is RM2.50, actually it’s just normal burger wrapped in popiah skin and then deep fried. You can choose to have chicken or beef burger, they cost the same. Do not expect patty in the burger, there isn’t, instead they are using shredded meat. I tried out chicken burger, it’s not that bad but it’s quite oily on the outside. RM2.50 is hmmm… A bit expensive for me. No photo for it because I couldn’t find a place to sit to eat my burger, I walked and eat at the same time hahaha… I will not buy this again, just not my type.

Left: The multi flavoured fruits mua chee stall is just next to the deep-fried burger stall. I bought small one which is RM3 and you can choose to have one flavour only or maximum 3 flavours and there are more than 10 flavours to choose. Something different from your usual mua chee. I bought lychee, mint, and mango. My bro said that there’s no taste at all but I managed to taste the taste. Lychee is slightly sourish, mango tasted mango-ish *LOL*, and mint tasted really minty. Pretty creative I would say. Will I buy again, maybe… Might try out different flavours. We’ll see.


The trade fair in the hall.


This year the stage is not at the usual place. It’s located at the lake. Water below the stage, interesting. I think it’s a pretty good way to have the stage somewhere outside the food fair as this will disperse the crowd and make more space to move.

The garden show wasn’t ready yet, maybe tomorrow will be ready since the opening is tomorrow not today.

That’s all for now.

New DUN

Posted on By sweet surrender 9 Comments on New DUN


Lately with the hoo ha going around in Kuching, I’m sure you all(those in Kuching) know what is going on. It’s such a big thing! The policemen are so hardworking for weeks just to make sure everything goes well tomorrow. We’ve been hearing sirens every few hours and every single day more than a week or so due to the police rehearsal and also due to the arrival of the VVIPs these days. Tomorrow is the big day.

The new DUN is opening tomorrow and there will be lots of events lining up at the city center. Major road blocks will be all over the city center too. How are people going to work like this? It’s not a public holiday summore.

The photos here showing the new DUN still under construction that were taken last year. We have new skyline for Kuching now.

Am I going to cover the event tomorrow? Nope! I’m not going to because I hate crowds! It will be extremely crowded!

Have “fun” or fun everyone!
