KCH Day 2 │ Kenyalang Park • Makansari • Kuching Waterfront • Langkau Arau

Kuching Day 2!

We woke up, took a shower, and headed out to the Kenyalang Food Centre for breakfast. Brendan was exhausted from his debate tournament and decided to rest.

Not many stalls were open, but thankfully the noodle stall was. I ordered the “black” Kolo Mee, while Cat tried the “white” Kolo Mee. With drinks, our first Sarawakian breakfast cost only RM11.50 (≈ USD3/EUR2) — the noodles were just RM4.00 each.

After breakfast, we took a slow stroll through the Kenyalang Park Market, enjoying the sights and sounds, before stopping at Everwin Supermarket for some provisions. We walked back to the Airbnb, where I spent the morning on an office call.

Midday Errands

At lunchtime, we drove to UNIMAS to drop off souvenirs for Brendan’s favourite lecturers. Then we stopped by Dahlia College to collect a shoehorn before heading to Aiman Mall. We sent the rental car for a wash and walked over to Makansari Street Food for lunch.

We browsed the stalls and settled on several Dayak dishes:

• Pork Curry with Rice — RM10.00
• Crispy Pork — RM12.00
• Mixed Pork Soup — RM12.00
• Cangkuk Manis (Sweet Leaf) — RM12.00
• Rice (2 servings) — RM1.00 each
• Special Iced Milk Tea (3 glasses) — RM3.50 each

Our delicious Dayak lunch came to RM59.50 (≈ USD/EUR13).

We picked up the car and returned to the Airbnb, where I had another office call for the afternoon.

Evening at Kuching Waterfront

At 6pm, we headed out again and hailed a Grab to Kuching Waterfront for RM10.00 (≈ USD/EUR2). We hoped to catch the river cruise, but we narrowly missed it — it only runs once a day at 5:30pm.

Unfazed, we began an impromptu walk along the river until we reached Burger Station, where we booked another Grab for RM18.00 (≈ USD/EUR4) to our dinner spot.

Smokehouse Supper

Twenty minutes later, we arrived at Langkau Arau Rumah Asap Dayak Stutong — quite a mouthful, but basically another Dayak smokehouse (our weakness, along with seafood).

With no idea what to order, we kept adding dishes to the list:

• Fried Cangkuk Manis — RM12.00
• Medium Barbecue Set — RM28.00
• Butter Pork Rice — RM9.00
• Lemon Wheat Grass (3 glasses) — RM11.50
• Grilled Crispy Pork — RM25.00
• Nasi Goreng (mystery version) — RM11.50
• Coca Cola (3 cans) — RM7.50

Our smoky supper came to RM104.50 — a little pricey, but with pork prices rising, not surprising. Maybe we should stick to seafood next time.

Wrapping Up

We hailed a Grab back to the Airbnb for RM8.00 (≈ USD/EUR2) and aimed for an early night. Tomorrow, we head north in search of a cultural village.

Stay tuned!
