Though this is not my first time in Kuching, I am surprised to find out that Kuching has rich and diverse culinary offerings, which I did not realise during my earlier visit. I mean, with over 28 different ethnic groups, Sarawak, with Kuching as its capital, is bound to surprise travellers in one way or another, right? By joining the four-day-and-three-night media familiarisation trip called ‘Sarawak Food Trail – Lan Berambeh Makan di Sarawak’ organised by Tourism Malaysia Sarawak, I got to experience Kuching through my stomach like never before. We discovered new dishes and new flavours every day, to the point that I just couldn’t get enough of Kuching, which is why I decided to extend my trip to discover more of Kuching’s enticing, ambrosial side…
Tip: Though there are many recommended restaurants can be found online, do ask the locals for the hidden spots for better experience. Try to blend in with the locals by saying nang nyaman, which means ‘so delicious’ after a hearty meal!
