Kuching Festival 2008 – Part 1

Been there? I went there on Saturday and just now. The photos you see here were taken yesterday and today using my mobile phone and some of the food pictures with my new camera hehehe… I didn’t go on the first day, I missed the parade else you would see tonnes of colourful floats and people in my post. However I managed to watch the fireworks display from my bedroom window. Here’s the video:

This was taken today with my phone.

There are about 80 stalls at the fair. This was taken yesterday before 5.30pm, it was raining when I was there after my exam.

This was taken just now at almost 7pm, lots of people, taken with my phone also.

Taken today with my phone.
Left: The balloons stall that definitely will be there. Last time when we were young, my dad had to buy balloons from here everytime we went to the fair. He had to do this for more than 10 years. Imagine how many balloon he had bought for us, we got at least one balloon during every trip there. Now we’re all grown up and we don’t need to buy any balloon anymore but we will surely buy food.
Right: The stage is sponsored by Isuzu this year, I think…

The trade fair inside the hall. Lots of bridal studio taking part, it looked more like a bridal fair than a trade fair *LOL*

These two were taken with my new camera at home. I played with the macro mode. Will review about this camera later.
Left: Don’t know what it’s called, it’s RM5 for this one “ball” of rice. So many people bought it and it took more than half hour to get ours. -.-”
Right: Sambal stingray! Don’t know how much but not nice… The sambal was pretty bitter.

“O Jien” aka Oyster Omelette(RM7), the wet type from a new stall, not so nice. Too “eggy” *LOL* Photo on the left taken with my phone and the right taken with my new camera.

The following all taken with my phone yesterday:

Left: The sio bee stall that you will defintely see every year.
Right: From some restaurant. Bought the 3-layer pork meat with salted veggies, the one in black. Very expensive and very small in portion, not nice at all.

Left: “Chui kueh”, a type of Teochew cuisine if I’m not mistaken since it’s from a Teochew restaurant. My dad will definitely buy this when he’s there.
Right: Yam basket from the same restaurant. Didn’t buy this though.

That’s all for the time being, I’ll be visiting this fair quite often hehehe… So you will see more post coming your way.
