CUTI-CUTI MALAYSIA TAG CHALLENGE

Eiyo Fadneiras,

Welcome back to Fadima Mooneira. How are you guys doing lately? I hope you guys are doing good. I'm doing ok too. Syukur alhamdulillah. Today, I'm going to share some pictures from my Kuching, Sarawak vacation last month. Btw, I'm going to make this post short and simple. Let's begin with a summary of Kuching...

ABOUT KUCHING, SARAWAK

Kuching is the capital and the most populous city in the state of Sarawak in Malaysia. Kuching is situated on the Sarawak River at the southwest tip of Sarawak on the island of Borneo. Kuching is known for its uniqueness, charm, natural beauty, and romantic history.

Kuching means ‘cat’ in Bahasa Malaysia, and there was once a belief that that’s how the city got its name. Since Kuching got its name from cats, these creatures have become the symbol of the city. There's even a museum dedicated to cats. This city also provides tourists with amazing numbers of huge cat statues to look at and take pictures with. If you're a cat lover like me, you need to add Kuching to your bucket list ^_^

Okay, so this is my summary of Kuching. Now let's share some pictures...

#1 

The first picture is an image of the New Sarawak State Legislative Assembly Building. This building is the current state legislative complex of Sarawak. This is where state assemblymen from all over Sarawak meet and preside over debates. The complex is situated on the north bank of the Sarawak River between Astana Palace and Fort Margherita. It's the most popular and iconic landmark at Kuching Waterfront.

#2

The second picture is a view under the Darul Hana Bridge. The Darul Hana Bridge is situated at Kuching Waterfront. This bridge provides pedestrian access from the Kuching Waterfront in the south of the city to the New Sarawak State Legislative Assembly Building, the Botanical and Orchid Gardens, and beyond in the north. This bridge also provides pedestrian access from the surrounding villages to the city center attractions, such as the Plaza Merdeka shopping mall, the international hotels strip, and the cafés at the old Court House. The Darul Hana Bridge was opened in November 2017.

#3

Taadaa!!! Here's a picture of me in front of the Indian Mosque. The Indian Mosque is also known as the Floating Mosque. Yep, it's the only floating mosque in Kuching. This beautiful and unique mosque is one of the main attractions and landmarks at Kuching Waterfront. The best time to visit this beautiful mosque is in the evening during sunset time. The golden lights of the sunset flood this majestic mosque and make it picture perfect ^_^

#4

Cats are the symbol of Kuching. You can find giant cat statues everywhere in Kuching. Btw, taking one/two pictures with these statues is a must if you travel to Kuching.

#5

Voila!!! Here I am at the India Street Pedestrian Mall. This is the best place to shop in Kuching. Everything is very affordable here. Plus, it's quite easy to bargain ^_^

#6

Kuching is also known as a seafood heaven. Your Kuching trip wouldn't be complete if you did not dine at Top Spot and taste this yummy-licious omelet oyster. Top Spot is a rooftop food court located at UTC Sarawak. This food court only opens during nighttime.

#7

Since cats are the symbol of Kuching, the Kuching Cat Museum is another place you must visit if you travel to this beautiful city. This museum was founded in 1993 and it is owned by the Kuching North City Hall. The Kuching Cat Museum is located at Bangunan DBKU, Jalan Semariang, Petra Jaya.

#8

Eiyo everyone, the beautiful building behind me is the Natural History Museum of Sarawak. This museum is a must-visit if you travel to Kuching. Similar to the British Natural History Museum in London, this museum also provides you knowledge of Sarawak.

#9

The ninth picture is an image of me inside the Borneo Cultures Museum. This museum is new and it's also a must-visit place. The Borneo Cultures Museum is located in the centre of Kuching next to Padang Merdeka. This museum has five floors. The building is designed in a modern architectural style that reflects Sarawak’s unique traditional crafts and rich cultural heritage.

#10

Kuching is also known as a food heaven. Trying ice cream gula apong is a must in Kuching or anywhere in Sarawak. Gula apong is one of Sarawak’s specialty natural sugars. This ice cream is super delicious and rich. It's a hit among locals and tourists. Trust me, guys, you can't find ice cream gula apong outside of Sarawak.

#11

Your Kuching vacation won't be complete without a bowl of kolo mee. Kolo mee is another Sarawak delicacy you must not miss. Kolo Mee is a simple yet flavourful noodle dish. This noodle is originally created by the Chinese Sarawakian. Since this dish is so popular, a halal version of kolo mee has since been created. The halal kolo mee is usually served with slices of beef or chicken, fragrant fried shallots, and spring onions. The halal kolo mee also comes with a bowl of rich beef or chicken soup.

Okay, so these are the 11 pictures I selected to share with you guys. Thank you for reading this post. I'll see you guys again next week. Bonne weekend ^_^

XoXo,

Fadima Mooneira ^_^
