KCH Day 5 │ Rumah Asap Dayak SAMARAHAN

Kuching Trip — A Smoky Farewell

⚠️ Note: This post contains references to pork dishes. Our Muslim friends may wish to skip this one.

Last Night in Kuching

All good journeys eventually came to an end.

On our last night in Kuching, we decided to close our culinary adventure the same way we began it—with a trip back to Rumah Asap, the beloved “Smoke House” known for its generous spread of grilled meats.

It felt fitting. A full circle.

Back for More

Without much hesitation, we ordered some of our favourites again.

At the heart of the meal was pansuh—a traditional dish cooked inside bamboo stalks, filled with water, herbs, and seasonings, then covered with tapioca leaves. It was rustic, fragrant, and uniquely Sarawakian.

Alongside it, we went for:

Grilled ribs
Pork belly (“three layered pork”—rind, fat, and meat)
Cuts from the grilled pig’s head

It was a hearty, smoky spread—bold flavours that we had come to appreciate over the past few days.

One Last Feast

With drinks included, our dinner came to about RM72.50 (≈ USD17/EUR16).

Yes, it was slightly pricier than our first visit—but honestly, it was still worth it.

The food was satisfying, the atmosphere familiar, and the experience felt like a proper farewell to Kuching’s unique food culture.

Looking Ahead

As we sat there finishing our meal, it finally sank in—tomorrow, we would be leaving.

And Brendan would be staying behind, continuing his studies.

It was a quiet moment. One filled with mixed feelings—pride, a little sadness, and the understanding that this was part of his journey forward.

Closing the Chapter

Our last night in Kuching wasn’t extravagant.

Just:

Good food
Familiar surroundings
And a sense of closure

And sometimes, that was all we needed.

Stay tuned—the journey continues. ✈️✨
