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…
i thought it ends on 21st?
No le… the banner said 23rd, in another forum it also said 23rd but many are not sure will it end one week earlier, just heard some wind that it will end earlier but don’t know how true.
Apparently being a ‘failed’ Kuchingite, last year was the first time I went there.. and the only time in my life.. hahahahh.. I never get to go back around that time.. too bad..
Patrick, hehehe…
i doubt it will end one week earlier.
Closing ceremony on 15th of August
Kuching Festial will still continue until 21st or 23rd of August.
🙂
annie… Oh… I see… Thanks.
I’m skipping this year’s food fest coz its too hazy to go… and well, kind of worried by the h1n1… but i did hear they will shorten the length of the food fest this year. not sure if its like what you quoted above though.
cyril, you are not afraid to go the Rainforest but you are afraid of Kuching Fest for the h1n1 part *LOL* Anyway, it’s pretty hazy nowadays, haven’t go there for quite a while coz of the haze but even stay at home makes no difference, the air quality is the same as out there coz I don’t have air-con hahaha… Went twice only this year. Usually will go almost every alternate days.
