Die-die must eat

I have always wanted to try the authentic Sarawak laksa since my first taste home-cooked Sarawak laksa by Susana in Sydney. I told myself, die-die must have it during my trip to Kuching.

First day, I arrived late in the afternoon, so I couldn't make it. Second day, I sneaked out from Susana's wedding events after church to grab the only time I could, hanging around the city and looking for any famous local food.

From left: Me, Sheau Sia, Tze Ling, Yee Pui
It was so nice of them to accompany me go jalan jalan, especially Tze Ling, carried her big tummy, walking with me under the hot weather. Anyway, walking is good for pregnant woman, easier delivery =p

It is all about CATS!!! Yeah, that is why Kuching = Cat City! Miao~ Too bad that I didn't have time to visit the only CAT MUSEUM there.

Guess what, that was the lemon+lime+coconut juice! Trust me, it taste good and cooling. Right top: Belancan Meehoon. I only had a few bites because I couldn't stand the tangy smell of belancan. Tze Ling ended up helped me to finish it. Haha...not bad to bring pregnant woman along because they usually crave for strong flavoured food. *I am bad =p* Right bottom: Kong Piah with cha siu (roasted pork) inside and some sasame sprinkled on top. Very cripsy and smell good.

Still, I did not manage to eat laksa because all laksa had already been sold out after morning =(

At night, after the wedding dinner, Susana and her hubby brought us to kopitiam for supper. I thought this time round I should be able to taste the laksa. But there was no laksa sold at night=(

Left top: Kolo mee. I love it much. The texture of the noodle was just nice, not too soggy and not too elastic. There are two types of flavor, red (with ketchup) and white (plain). I prefer red one because it smells better. Right top: Ketchup kuay tiao. It taste almost the same as wa-tan-ho but with sour taste from ketchup. Bottom: o-chian (fried oyster with egg). I like it but couldn't eat too much, it's fattening!!

Third day, everyone woke up early for breakfast (mainly for laksa) except me *paiseh*. I just couldn't open my eyes. I was extremely sleepy and exhausted. So, I missed the laksa again =(

I slept till 11am. I went for brunch with Susana's brother. But ALL laksa had already been sold out. So I had Kolo mee again. Afternoon, Sheau Sia came to fetch me. Thought we could still be able to grab the only laksa at the Spring (the biggest shopping mall in Kuching), who knows, the stall was closed (all stalls opened except that laksa stall, arrhhhhh)!! Laksa, laksa, it is destined I cannot have you! Sob sob ='(

In the end, I only had the laksa paste brought home. Sigh.....
