Day 4: Flavoured/Original You Tiao, Bako National Park The days had been awesome so far, and I was in no mood of letting it slow down or stop. Breakfast at Lee Coffee Shop would be enough to fuel us until lunch. I had another round of Kolo Mee and a special, flavoured You Tiao. The momentum continued to rise when it was time to head to the Bako National Park. The You Tiao made with 'kaya' and butter inside. There are many other flavours such as sausage, ham or take it original. The You Tiao is interestingly good. A close up shot of Kolo Mee. A good food hawker centre which offers great variety. The Kolo Mee and You Tiao shops are found in this kopitiam. The Bako journey began. Upon reaching the terminal and completed registration, we boarded a speedboat, for about 15 minutes, to the national park. The fee was RM 47 per boat one way and RM 5 per adult. Welcoming us to the national park is a sign that reads so. We arrived early, low ti...

Day 3: Temple at Muara Tebas, Cultural Village, Seafood at Buntal, Sunday Market One thing I like about traveling is the need to push myself to wake up early, rise and shine for the coming day no matter how tired I am from the day before. I was awake when the sun was just about to rise and meet with my friend's relatives to join them for today's adventure. Driving nearly an hour to Muara Tebas, after breakfast, we visited the Chinese temple facing the port. It was a wet morning at the temple but that did not deter me to see and their relatives to perform their ritual duties. Climbing up a flight of stairs to reach the temple. On festive days like the Chinese New Year, the temple will be crowded with people wanting to fulfill their prayers. At the entrance to inside the temple is a gold dragon figure. Driving further in another direction after the temple, we arrived at the next, popular tourist spot- the Cultural Village. It charges at Rm 60.00 per ...

Day 2: Wind Cave, Fairy Cave, Tasik Biru, Taman Sahabat, The Spring, Sarawak Laksa, Kueh Cap, Belacan Midin, Kolo Mee Woke up as early as 7 am to get ready for the day. For breakfast, I had the famous Sarawak Laksa and Kueh Cap. Kueh Cap is mostly 'spare parts' of the pig but since I don't favour eating them, mine came with slices of pork meat instead. It looks like 'bak kut teh' but diluted, less black and not much herb taste. It felt like the black soy sauce in soup. The Sarawak Laksa, surely, is one of the favourites. Different to those I find in KL, the Laksa here has a blend of sweetness in its spiciness. It has prawns and serves with sliced scrambled eggs. I will miss the Sarawak Laksa, surely. The kopitiam we had is located at the junction of 4 1/2 Mile. Kueh Cap in front of Iced Teh C and Iced Coffee C. Sarawak Laksa next to the Kueh Cap. Mouth watering yet? After the fulfilling breakfast, two other friends joined us. Then th...
