sarawak, my verdict...

tidak kemanalah. kecoh mcm pegi london jek. haha. sudah bagitahu domestic kan jadi hanya jenjalan bersama keluarga ke kuching from march 5th to march 7th. mahu spend time bersama sebelum kahwin. sob sob sob. dan oleh kerana ini blog pasal wedding so i change the way of writing menjadi ala honeymoon entry. kerana mungkin ada yang nak pre honeymoon ke sana? details are here but not soo comprehensive pasal bukan jalan semua tempat but sarawak for honeymoon is recommended!

official airlines ke sarawak: air asia

my verdict: on time (air asia terms) but always allow 15-20minutes delays. ride was good gila. sempat mengambil gambar dalam cockpit.

official hotel: tune hotel

my verdict: a great budget hotel! but ofcos not recommended for honeymooning. hehe. basic facilities delivered very very well. for us balik ke hotel for a nap sahaja and tidur malam. the rest of the day keluar.

more info: located nearby to main attraction, walking distant to waterfront, pak tambang 40 cents per ride, massive souvenirs shop, shopping malls and such. internet kiosk are available at hotel lobby for free, 20 mins max.

must visit: kuching statue
my verdict: sangat comel. mustilah pergi sini dan ambil gambar. walking distant from waterfront. nearby sarawak plaza and tun jugah mall.
must visit: cat museum
my verdict: havent been here but for me lil bit on the boring side. agak boring sampai sempat nap dalam museum ini. but it still worth a visit.
more info: around 15 minutes via cab. tak boleh jalan kaki from waterfront. jauh kot. 1 cab was myr26. mahal. entrance fee percuma sahaja. kalau bawa camera fee is myr4must ride: perahu pak tambang, tebingan kuching

my verdict: ketagihan hebat! ada 6 jeti if im not mistaken dekat waterfront. each ride cuma 40 sen. after dark seringgit. despite no life jacket was offered i was on the perahu every other time. naik perahu pak tambang masa pagi sangat bertenang. masa sunset sangat amazing. and each perahu carry diff advert. some for hilton, astro, digi. i do hope they earn decent income from that. pasal tak sampai hati mahu bayar 40 sen bila naik perahu ini.

must try: laksa sarawak
my verdict: sukaaa! berempah la kan. but i cant recommend any great spot for sarawak laksa. yang ini makan di waterfront sahaja. tak sempat. langsung makan saja mana yang sempat. kali ini mee kolok pun tak sempat. apakah? nampak sangat rushing.

must visit: sarawak cultural village
my verdict: it is ridiculous to visit the whole sarawak therefore a visit to sarawak cultural village is a MUST. a cultural show by sarawak cultural village performers was damn amazing and i joined them at the closing dance. haha. love it!

more info: located at kaki gunung santubong. approx 40 mins from city. entrance fee only is myr60. our transfer from tune hotel + the ticket was myr95 per person.

must visit: kampung santubong
my verdict: a nice kampung nelayan. view yang sangat cantik. tenang. if u are on the advanterous side gunung santubong are awaiting. 4-5 hours approx to the top of the mountain. unfortunately not enough time. damai pun tak sempat jejak. nampak sahaja dari dalam van.must visit: kedai kek lapis dayang salhah
my verdict: kek lapis tersedap. sangat suka. soo troublesome to choose sebab banyak gile gile flavor. sample are available at all time. heaven gila makan sampai kenyang. kalau beli banyak theyll give 1-2 free kek lapis. packing juga tip top untuk dihempas dan dibaling oleh staff air asia masuk ke dalam cargo. hehe. boleh naik perahu pak tambang ke kampung gersik petra jaya, seberang sahaja, atau minta driver drop ke kedai ini.
must try: air mata kuching
my verdict: mesti cuba. ini mmg yummeh yummeh sangat especially masa panas, satisfying.must visit: pasar satok
my verdict: superb. pasar yang sangat besar di kawasan satok. menjual mcm2 barang. crystal, pearls, t-shirts, souvenirs. ada juga pasar basah. sold many rare kinda of sayuran and buahan. mak went crazy over sayurs. siap beli rebung fresh bawa pulang.
more info: located at satok area. walking distant from waterfront (for me) kalau tak larat can always hire pak teksi. myr15 per ride. must buy: ikan terubuk
my verdict: banyak kat pasar satok. great choice of kecik besar ikan nya and price are bargain. somemore they will pack ikan terubuk untuk yg nak bawak naik flight. so sangat mudah. cara masak my style is goreng garing dengan cili api potong, bawang & kicap. marvellous!

must experience: sunset follows by night at waterfront
my verdict: agak happening untuk berpeleseran. ada banyak tempat makan. stall kebab. ais krim. bonus for us ada amazing firework and concert band tuku' kame.' tuku' kame' best gila! yang ini saya berada di stage juga for a local instruments play (yang ketuk2 buluh tu tatau nama, hehe) with the band'. then ada street band yg sebijik mcm hujan. and kalau masih mahu naiklah perahu pak tambang. hehe. masih beroperasi tapi scary pasal gelap gelita.must try: ayam penyet kuching
my verdict: tak sedap mcm kat kl. i believe i know why. salah pegi kedai punya pasal. tapi ramai je org makan situ. mcm enjoy gile jek makan ayam penyet. :( yg lain nya sambal dia. kalau ayam penyet kat kl more like cili api super dup. tapi kat kuching mcm sambal cili merah.must visit: u.d. siburan jaya souvenir shop
my verdict: ada banyak souvenir shop all along waterfront street, harga please compare accordingly with all the shop. tapi of all saya suka u.d. siburan jaya. barang cantik and kemas. belanja on souvenir sikit for friends and frame la for rumah, alas meja la, dompet comel la, gelang la, sumpit la, gitar sape la. haha gila.

official airlines ke semenanjung: air asia

my verdict: understood as always. sangat lama delayed due to slight-lah-sangat technical prob. org SEMUA marah2. prob with the back door of the aircraft but im totally okay with it as it was technical prob. i dont want to ride a plane which is not safe. journey are not soo smooth as theres lotsa thick clouds and lotsa crosscheck during the journey. gila scary okay kalau asik announce crosscheck crosscheck. crosscheck atok ko!

ohhhhh ada banyak lagi great places yg tak sempat dilawati seperti melawat org utan, bako national park sume2 lah, jadi sila explore sendiri. maka dengan ini tamatlah entry ala honeymoon. overall saya dan keluarga flown low cost, stay low cost as well so that $$$ spent for a visit to tempat2 yg best and makan2. for honeymoon silalah naik mas for an assured comfort. for hotel, pullman kuching nampak marvelleous. and maybe a stay at damai beach resort or santubong area homestay style juga will be more suitable for lovebird on honeymoon. city center lil bit too on a busy side.

penat seh isnin masuk keje.. bukan fresh, lagi lemau ada.. ;)
