The Weekend Breakfast : Tuaran Mee

It was one of those weekend dates, instead of roaming around kk shopping complexes..and after few hours of arguing of what we are going to do or where  to go after canceling our island trip..we finally decided to go to Tuaran .. to taste the infamous Tuaran Mee... 

Technically, I never been to Tuaran town ( I mean like..purposely went there for sightseeing or food tasting..aha! ) . From Penampang to Tuaran takes about  45 minutes to an hour (According to Paul),   However, the drive that day took longer than the usual, we stumble onto an accident involving a white myvi and an old lady. Paul saw a pool of blood is draining from the lady, I just couldn't watch it.. This is the second time we came across such tragedy. Gosh!! I still can't forget the accident up until today... 

By the way, in spite of the bitter event , we continue our journey in pursue of tasting the Tuaran Mee. We reach Tuaran about 11.00 in the morning, and the first thing you will see if you reach the town were the TUARAN MEE RESTAURANT

The Tuaran Mee Haven!!

At first, we are not really sure if this was the one that people been suggesting, however, while the restaurant lady taking our orders, I overheard a few of the customers telling the other restaurant lady how they found the place and heard about the Tuaran mee from their friends..  so, we figure we went to the right place...

Slurrrrrppp!! He is enjoying his Special Tuaran Mee Soup

Special Tuaran Mee Kon Lau Style~Macam2 ada!!

Bon appetite!!

The Tuaran Mee was superb!! Paul asked for Special Tuaran Mee Soup and I asked for the Special Tuaran Mee Kon Lau style..yummy!! ;-) ... According to the lady that work in that restaurant, the mee is made by her owner..hmm I guess that the thing that make it special ..Seems every succesful food outlets has their secret ingredient which is not a mystery though. hehe. 

Since, we took such a drive for our weekend breakfast, we decided to walk around the town and see what interesting..plus, Paul wanna check out some "Pukat" around the town.. yup..my babe is so not into gadgets..but he totally indulging himself with fishing, chainsaw-ing .. glad to have a man who knows to do these man-work ... (sejuk hati...LOL)

pilih..pilih...;-)

I took a few interesting shots around the town (trip..trip guna his new baby canon!!)

We left Tuaran town about 12. 40 noon and we decided touse the new road (the one that passing 1BOrneo) to "try, test, kinam" a few shots more on the way back.

 It just one of those days..spending a day with your loved ones.. cherish every moment ;-) .. Thanks to baby Canon!! there will be more travel and trip around sabah this year I guess!! Crossfinger!! ;-p

SPECIAL EDITION:: RoaRing KuchinG

Day 1: The Arrival

At last, the day awaited has finally come. It’s been way months planning and preparation for this trip. I never have been to Kuching even though I have been living in Bintulu for almost two years. Simply because the distance from Bintulu to Kuching take the same amount of time as Bintulu to Kota Kinabalu so most of the time I will rather spend those times to go back and spend it with my loved ones in KK.

So, why now kan? Its all because of the RAINFOREST WORLD MUSIC FESTIVAL that has been held in Kuching ever year since 2005. It was one of the most happening events that has been a phenomenon in Borneo whereby people from all over the world raided Sarawak Cultural Village for three days simply to enjoy the music performances from the selected bands.

Well, we arrived at the Kuching International Airport around 6.00 p.m. We quickly took our taxi to TELANG USAN HOTEL which I booked since last February. It takes us 10 minutes for our taxi since we have to queue for it. Clearly, we can see the RWMF fever. There were about 3-4 groups of foreigner and I overheard their conversation about their previous experience in the festival 

We are here!!

at the entrance!

Along our way to the hotel, I just couldn’t help not to notice that Kuching City is indeed very clean. This remind me of Santa Cruz, one of the municipals in the Philippines, believe me…there is not even a candy wrapper you can find lying around in their street. Its like none..totally NADA. I am not saying that our city is dirty but I’ll bet when you go to these places, you’ll understand the differences. 
 

I could describe our hotel as middle aged however, it was cosy and the location was quite strategic. You could simply walk to almost of the tourist attractions. After unpacking and settling ourselves, Gary picked us up at the hotel and we went for a dinner at KHATULISTIWA, a café situated just beside the entrance of the Kuching Waterfront. The café arrangement is quite nice and it looks welcoming from outer side of the café. About 30 minutes later, Wilonita and her friends came; it’s has been 3 years that both of us last meet each other. The first night went out nice, strolling over the Kuching Waterfront and camwhoring was indeed the first thing we have done after three years of meeting again! Aha!!

And so, the party started at 12 midnight, where, me, paul, gary and felly continues our night at Terminal One, Padungan Road. The club was so packed with foreign faces, I guess every one started to geared up their engine for the RWMF. We partied up until 4 a.m. Super Splendid!! 

Beware! ;-p
