Stutong Market, Kuching

The old market at Gambir Street in Kuching was moved to Stutong Market in the year 2007.

How the business at Stutong Market? I am not sure but usually at weekend a lot of people will do their shopping here for fish, prawn, vegetable and lots more. The market is clean and nice with ample parking space.

There is a few coffee shop nearby namely C121, Lee coffee shop, Kuali, Simply Sedap and J&J. It all up to the customer to choose from.

KUCHING CITY AT NIGHT

Kuching City, it should be a garden city with garden and plants around city. As this concept has been implemented a long time ago but now I feel that the greenery have been reduced as more and more development occurred. Hopefully, it will be still a garden city in the future.

I was driving in the city at night thus i stop to takes a few snap shots of Kuching.

The baruk like building at the waterfront.


The Grand Margarita Hotel at the Kuching Golden triangle (shopping and hotels).


Who say the economic was bad? I took this picture at Jalan Song. A place that i usually frequent: Peach Garden. What to eat here? I especially like the oyster pancake.

Kuala Lumpur: Night scene

It have been another day, shopping in KL especially at Bukit Bintang area. Thus, was tired and went during the trip back to the hotel, we took some of this photos.

Bukit Bintang area, shopping and relaxing.

Capturing the scenery at night around KL. I especially likes the plants and lighting as in a city it hardly can see any plants.

Malaysia National Museum (Muzium Negara)

History taught us about what we needs for the future. Without our Malaysian history, we will be at loss as a young nation.

we have a short visit to the National museum due to some work related visit thus was able to go to only one gallery. I would like to advice those individual to take at least one day trip for the visit to understand what have been displayed.

Fairy Cave and wind cave at Bau, Sarawak

A wonderful place to bring your family to visit and have a picnic. Fairy Cave is in Bau, situated 40 minutes car ride from Kuching, Sarawak.

It consisted of limestone and limestone forest. Which a river run through at the side of the cave. The fairy cave and Wind cave is under the care of Sarawak Forestry Corporation. Thus to go into the cave you have to registered yourselves at the cave entrance.

BINTULU: Nice and lovely town

Bintulu town has changed and developed into a lovely and modern town. The nick name as 'The cowboy town' is no longer applicable. Bintulu's little town used to be dominated by male pedestrians, partly because it is an industrial town with lots of foreigners. Now, Bintulu has changed its face; beautiful and it is indeed a unique place to visit.

I still remember Bintulu's airport used to be situated right in the center of the town. When you arrived you no need to worry if you can't catch up a cab as you're landed just about 500 meters from the busy little town of Bintulu. Now, the new airport is far away from town and make sure to leave the Bintulu town way ahead of time afraid you might missed your flight, especially if you are boarding AirAsia!

The housing estate is getting more, new shop is coming up and development is still in progress. Its landscape is beautiful especially if you are driving alongside the old airport road with trees are lining up which provide nice and scenic view and shade. Tanjung Batu is just a couple of minutes drive away. Was there with a friend from Universiti Putra Malaysia, Bintulu campus for a drink and chat. It was a lovely breezy afternoon!


The picture shows Tanjung Batu beach during its low tide. It is a perfect place for an outing with families and friends and of course a perfect track for hardcore joggers too!

The center of the town. Love to visit the open air market to see the local produce brought in to be sold by the local communities.

The pillar full of dragon from a Chinese temple facing the Kemena River.

We had our breakfast at a 'Popular Cafe'. I ordered a plate of ' gravy fried noodle' (mee goreng basah). It wasn't the best but it sure is delicious. I have always love this noodle as it is quite different from the way it is prepared in Kuching. If you travel up north, make sure you get a taste of this noodle because it is simply delicious!


As we're there for an important occasion, we had a chance to be entertained by one of our uncles with his melodious sape music. It was a perfect night for all of us and wish i could have know how to play sape too.



Cheers Bintulu! Will visit you again!
