Short Talk:
Angel Pet wants her fellow Singaporeans to donate to President's Star Charity. I'm only doing this for her 'cos she's got pretty eyes its the right thing to do.
Kuching Festival Fair 2005
The Kuching Festival Fair is a month-long food, trade and cultural fair held annually at the Dewan Masyarakat (Civic Hall).
The event has been going on 17 years now. I remember I used to attend the event as a kid together with my late grandmother. I vaguely recall the dimly lit footpath, the wide range of local food, the hustle and bustle of the crowd that's so characteristic of the Festival.
But that was 10 years ago. For 8 of those years I've been attending the very boring and expensive Perth Royal Show instead, so when I heard about the Kuching Festival happening I dragged my saliva-soaked ass there as soon as I could.
"Can cut food. Can cut wood. Can cut brick. RM20 for one, buy two get one free. CHEAP!"
The fair at the Dewan Masyarakat comprised of a food fair, a trade fair and a forgettable garden show. There's also a stage for performances, but those performances are more like visual and aural torture for me.
He's so hungry he could eat a microphone.
They actually introduced this guy as Kuching's Dong Li Huo Che aka Kuching Train Station. Hopeless!
The trade show is very typical. Blenders, cleaning agents, blenders, knives, blenders, CD repairer kits, blenders, blenders, more blenders... However, I did notice a few interesting items on display, such as the most kiasu hi-fi system in the whole world...
Don't play play, Mercedes hi-fi system. Pay RM1,500 for this set and boom your neighbour away.
A model recruitment agency...
The competition between modelling agencies just got a whole lot... bigger.
Ah Lian fashion at its best...
Guess? What Guess? We have GUEES!
There's a lot of stalls whoring credit cards, all offering free annual fee, free gifts, free entries to competitions and so on.
Sometimes you wonder how they actually make money off credit cards.
I signed up with all of them and bagged their free gifts just for fun. Let's see how many credit cards I'll have after 3 weeks.
If this guy sold peanuts in Singapore, he'd be a freakin' BILLIONAIRE right now.
The main attraction of the event is obviously, the food. I wasn't disappointed. By my estimation there's probably about 200 food stalls and 1,000 different menu items, all at very reasonable prices.
"Help! My food is on fire!" - Man cooking oyster omelette ('Orh Chien')
Let's take a tour and look at what's on menu shall we?
This is salad yew-tiaw. Yew-tiaw is some sort of deep-fried bread that's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. This version here has sesame seed sprinkled on top and is served with mayonnaise. Its good, though its not the best.
The best one is right here.
Yew Tiaw also got king one.
Declaring themselves 'king' in front of 200 other stalls is a pretty bold move. They'd better be able back it up. And lucky for them, they did.
JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT THING.
HOLY MOLLY! Those yew tiaw are almost as big as my dickonosaurus! But mine is still bigger okay.
Kuching sio bee enjoying a sauna.
This is sio-bee in Hokkien or siew-mai in Cantonese. Its warm and savoury. Its not unlike the sio-bee you can find in dim sum restaurants all over the world. Personally I think those are a little too soggy for my liking.
I think Kuching's sio-bee is still the best, and Kuching's best sio-bee by de facto is at the Open Air Markets. People here watch them grow from a humble dirty little stall infested with rodents, into a successful franchise they are today selling sio-bee all over Kuching. For them, next stop, THE WORLD.
I thought this signboard is a little bit mean. How could they make it look as if the lamb is there enjoying a nice hot bath? So wrong.
Everybody loves coconuts.
I couldn't resist photoshopping 'Wong Lee Hom' onto the menu.
More local favourites. Belacan Bee Hoon (or 'Mehoom' in that picture) is one of my favourite Kuching dish. Its rice vermicelli soaked in a Malaysian prawn-based soup and paste called 'Belacan'. So smelly, yet so tasty.
Fancy some camel or ostrich burger?
To be honest, I don't know how the hell they could come up with stuff like these. I don't think anyone knows what camel or ostrich meat tastes like anyway, so even if they put bullshit in there can call it ostrich burger, people are still gonna eat it.
Before he was turned into food, Willy the Wealthy Chicken owned five nests, three barns and eight hens.
Wealthy chicken. Heh! This proves one thing correct. It doesn't matter how much money you have - if you're chicken, you're dinner, baby.
Spiderman's latest victims.
These are actually called 'Emperor Dragon Whisker Sweet'. I swear it sounds a lot more elegant in Chinese (Long Xu Tang). They taste like soft Australian nougats, except there's granules of peanuts in there. Sweet, sticky and delicious.
Malaysian satays. An eternal favourite worldwide.
Jeff Ooi's little birds went to Thailand and never came back.
This is fried ice-cream. I have no idea how they did it, but they managed to deep fry a scoop of ice-cream without making it melt. The result is an ice-cream with a warm outercrust and an icy cold inside. Only RM1.50. Its heavenly.
Too bad you cannot print it out and eat it.
This is a dish with a fun name called Chee Cheong Fun. Chee Cheong in Mandarin means 'Go clubbing'. So this dish sounds like 'Go clubbing very fun'. In reality its just some boring prawns wrapped by very thin steamed skins. Nothing fancy about it.
Barbequed sting rays at only RM25 per kilo. You choose the size and portion of the sting ray, they barbeque it, served on a piece of banana leaf over sambal and lime. It'll turn out like this.
Its spicy and sour at the same time. I had this for dinner.
This is lok-lok. They're basically fish balls and other stuff skewed on a satay stick. You can have them cooked in hot water or deep fried, then served with your choice of chilli, oyster, or satay sauce. Its yummy.
Please don't lick your computer screen.
I spent less than RM20 that night and I had such a total feast I need to roll myself back to my own car. There's so much food to try, its truly gonna take one whole month for me to fully sample each and every one of them.
Note to self: Postpone diet plan till end of August.
Alright I'm done. You may wipe your drool off your computer monitor now. ;)

Ah...love Kuching food. My wife swears by it, I love it just short of swearing by it.
No Kolok Mee shots though?

Oh, man. You're killing me with all that food. There's a place called Great Wall Buffet near our house where I go (by myself, because no one wants to eat there with me) to get my fill of Asian cuisine: chicken satay, kim chee, baby octopi in spicy tomato sauce...all for about 8 bucks. The quality is so-so, but the selection is good.
I checked the currency rates and the RM is about equivalent to a quarter (let's not start that again!)—that is, 25 cents. So you spent about 5 dollars? Outrageous! I will definitely plan our visit to Kuching to coincide with a food-related festival of some sort, sometime next year at the earliest. When's the weather good? :)

Damn I didn't know "Wong Lee Hom" is so cheap to get....
Anyways, deep fried ice-cream: no secret to it, the icecream has to be almost rock solid cold and the oil very *very* hot. Batter the ice cream, drop it into the oil and then voila. Almost like the way they deep fry Mars bars in Scotland. Woooo. Soooo unhealthy.

yee tiaws look like what we call yau char koays over here in the west. also, chee cheong funs are named for their resemblance to the pig intestines: chee cheong. Kinda like how Lou Shi Funs are named because they resemble rat tails so much:)

Kenny, Chee Cheong means Pig's intestine in cantonese. Fun means noodle. I might be wrong.
One of my fav dish though.

Dammit! I'm going into spasms right now because Sydney doesn't have any BBQ stingray, or even something as simple as satay. A dozen bloody sticks cost more than 20 bucks here at the "Singaporean Speciality" restaurant, a ripp-off worthy of a capital offence back in S'pore.
Looks like its another damned kebab for dinner. /cries.

Kuching Food Fair used to be from 1st August (to coincide with City Day) ... last for 2 weeks ... later extended to 3 weeks .. now brought forward by 1 week i.e. starts last week of July ... there used to be a "Ayam Pansuh" stall (chicken in a bamboo) dayak fare but delicious. Wonder what became of the "Popiah" (springroll) lady. Damn fresh.. rolled on the spot...

Read your blog first time when I was searching for coverage about Kuching. I'm so proud of you man! Even I, a fellow Kuchingite (who's currently somehow got stuck in lonely island Penang), couldn't describe the food in Kuching as well as you did. However, you forgot to check out Kio Chap Kueh Tiaw/Mee aka Tomato Kueh Tiaw/Mee or the Kuching's Char Koay. Folks in Penang, pls note,we call it Char Koay without the 'Kak' and no,it is not an imitation of the same in Penang nor is it rounded. It is an entirely different dish which is available in sweet or soya version. And where's our famous Sarawak Laksa and Cendol with thicker, greener jelly stuff?

whichever place you come from I don't care......but you have no right to use that tone of speech at something people from kuching hold high values for! like the 'Chee Cheong Fun' and signs...it's all part of the culture! i suggest you be a hell lot more respectable!
