Trip to Serikin & local dishes of Sarawak

The trip to Serikin on Saturday morning was nice. Weather was good. Its an hour hour journey from Kuching town. Huby drove the Storm while my parents were with my aunty and uncle. Serikin is a border between Kuching and Pontianak. They're so many cheap things you can get from Serikin, most of the people are Indonesia and some of the things like local keropok, kain sarong, telekung, blouses, imitation handbags were abundant.

Glad to get to sample (yet again) the local dishes of Sarawak. My favourite is the 'bubur-pedas', 'ayam pansoh' and 'linut.

First day at my auntie house. She served so much food but thank god, our stomach was so hungry (as she warned us not to eat anyting in between) and so we managed to sample almost all.


Steamed Empurau Fish (to me it sounds like 'emperor' fish). She said it costs RM750 se-ekor.

Bubur Pedas (i loike this dish, sedap!)

Engkalak (its a family of fruit). How u take it? U dip the fruit with salt and put the whole thing in your mouth. Just throw away its seed. Rasa macam lemak-lemak.

Ulam-ulaman (some are Sarawak's local ulam which you cannot get in Semenanjung)

Rojak buah with sambal petis sarawak

Stir-fry century eggs with onions and chillies. Its my fave!

Masak Asam Pedas Terung Emas


Ayam masak hitam

Sayur Keladi

Oyster Omelette (something different, nice and crunchy)
