Well... This is what I ate there... Yum

This is going to be a long post. Plus with the pictures so technically is going to be a freaking huge post. So let's see where do I start. This is going to a problem from me since most of this words doesn't have an English counterpart. So bare with me folks...

Cendol

Well what is this. Is basically crush ice + condense milk with some kind of jelly. The jelly taste like gummy bears. Lol.



Mee Kolok

Ok, I know what are you thinking. What the heck is Kolok? Don't look at me. There are things even google can't explain. It's just what the sarawakian called. Its basically mee with beef/chicken soup serve with chilli in soy sauce. The thing that makes it so special is the mee itself and the soup. And I can't get it here... Sucks



C Special Tea

Or its call (teh C special). What the C stand for? Beat me But the taste it... yum. It just tea + condense milk and a special ingredient. It's (how the heck im going to expain this). Its cocount plam sugar (gu.la me.la.ka) underneath the glass. So we have to mix it all together. So the taste its like fusion.



Kampua Mee

By now you released that most of this names doesn't make sense. This is another variation of Mee Kolok but it a bit sweeter since they added the sweet kind of soy sauce. Serve with beef/chicken soup also. Man all this talk about food is making me hungry.



Roti canai Tuna

Roti Canai is basically dough that the thread into a flat bread. Tuna is the fish that we eat in sandwhic. Yum. Mixed those two together add a little balck pepper sauce + chilli + mayo and tada.... Just magnificient.



Special Water (Okay is not really that... Lol)

Is called Air Special. Air is water (pronouce -I.err- not air (as in the air we breathe...)). It is crush ice with watermelon, longan, peach, apple and pear with a litthe condense milk and little cherries of some sort. Good to drink on a hot day (which is everyday in sarawak).


Spicy Porridge

Bubur pedas as it called here. Its... I dont know what it is. But if you guys ever come to Sarawak you have to try this. Its like nothing I have ever taste before. The taste is indescribable. Really... Its a bit spicy with something else inside...


(editors note: Im countinuing from where I left off. Have to finish by today)

Fries with dip and fish sandwhich.

Ok, I know what are you thinking. How come this be a Sarawak delicacy. But there this fast food restaurant called Sugar Bun. I dont think it is available stateside. They serve their fries with pure cheese dip (artifitial cheese). Plus the fish sandwhich is just a normal fish sandwhich. Go figure. Lol


Ayam Pasoh (Bamboo Cooked Chicken)

This is what its describe. Chicken cooked in bamboo. Well they didn't have a real bamboo at the time. So they just use a pressure cooker. Still the same. It has 11 herbs and spices. So they say. Apprently is what the natives cook when they live in forest. So basically anything edible in the forest they just lug it in the bamboo.



Umai (Pickle shirmp)

It can be done with shrimp, squid almost any seefood availble. Not my cup of tea. But hey when you are at a foriegn country just try it once. If you dont like it dont try it again. Lol. They marinate the shrimp for quite a long time, so that where the tangy taste come from.



Went to a cake repository...

Ok this is not a thing i ate there. It looks interesting. At Sarawak, the most famous cake is called Sarawak Cake. It's a very delicate cake, baked in layers. A skilled baker (is that what they are called) can make intricate designs. It's like food art. Over here there is a house that makes this in a truck load. For the tourist. The taste is ok. Not great since they have machines to do this. There is even a place we can taste the cakes. Free food...



Mee belacan and Mee Jawa

Belacan is grind chilli (if i am not mistaken). So add hot water, and put noodles in the bowl and viola... Belacan mee. After eating a couple of bytes you'll be crying. Jawa Noodles is from Indonesia. Not that spicy but has a tangy taste. Enjoyable all together.


White Lady

This is a variation of the Special Water (Air special above). It has mango, peaches, longan and lychess. Crush ice + Syrup and Ribena. Don't know they don't have it here. Sounds easy enough to make. If you go there ask the Taxi driver to take you to Air Special Ah Kang. He'll know where is it. It the most famous store there. Can you belive a guy can make a living by selling ice.


Ayam Penyet

Penyet means crushed. But calling this dish crush chicken just sounds wired. It is fried chicken with grind chilli (belacan) serve with raw vegetables. Oh yeah and fragrent rice also. It's a special Indonesian dish serve by local peoplle over here.


Can you believe this is not real????

The durian that is on the palm of the hand may look real but in fact is paper!!! Yup paper. It's not the worlds smallest durian. Durian is the king of fruit in Malaysia. This old granny I visited made this out of paper. It's paper mache. Paper put in water and become a pulp. The thorns are also made of paper and are so sharp. You can actually hurt your fingers by touching it.



Sarawak Laksa

I think everybody who come to Sarawak will try this. Since this is the only thing that associate Sarawak with. The gravy is made with coconut milk, chicken stock and a special paste that is only found in Sarawak. The chicken is then taken out and serve separately. It's also available stateside. First you take the noodles, then add eggs, chicken, lime(for extra zing) and other seafood stuff also. This thing is so nice and will make you sleepy after eating more than one bowl. Like me. End the meal with fresh cut fruits and mango ice cream. Heaven.



A lock on time.... Get it...

A wall clock shape of a lock and key... nuff said.
