Kuching Day 4!
During our previous trip to Kuching, we drove toward Bako and stumbled upon a riverside seafood restaurant on stilts. It was closed then, so this time we made it a point to visit Muara Tebas Seafood for lunch.
Often described as “a little gem only the knowledgeable few know about”, we were excited to finally try it.
Morning Errands
We left at 10am, but first went searching for a padlock for Brendan’s luggage, which was to be shipped back to Kuala Lumpur. With that done, we drove to Nizaf Movers at Jalan Keruing.
Unfortunately, they only handled bulk shipping — a flat RM250 per pallet, regardless of weight. Since that didn’t suit us, we postponed the search and continued driving toward Bako.
Lunch at Muara Tebas Seafood
Half an hour later, we reached the restaurant — and were immediately approached by a local thug demanding RM5.00 for parking. Rather than create a scene, we quietly paid and moved on.
Inside, the view of the Sarawak River was stunning. We browsed the menu and ordered:
- Deep Fried Ikan Mancung (Indian Threadfin)
- Cangkuk Manis
- Deer Meat in Soy Sauce
- Chicken in Soy Sauce
- Oyster Omelette
- Plain Omelette
- 3 servings of Rice
- Several rounds of drinks
Our riverside feast came to RM172.80 (≈ USD39/EUR37). The novelty fish alone cost RM70, so the total was expected.
The Shipping Mission Continues
After lunch, we resumed our search for a shipping company.
Nizaf Movers suggested Microlink Express, so we keyed it into Waze — which led us instead to TJ Pacific, a place that appeared closed.
We then tried the second suggestion, CTSI, which Waze interpreted as K.C Logistics. Half an hour later, we arrived — and thankfully, they accepted Brendan’s single luggage bag.
The rate was RM5.50 per kg, and since the bag weighed 20.25 kg, the estimated cost was RM111.40 — less than half of Nizaf’s flat rate. Payment would only be required upon delivery in Kuala Lumpur.
Mission accomplished.
A Quiet Afternoon
We returned to the Airbnb, where I spent the afternoon organising and editing footage from the past few days.
In the evening, we took a leisurely drive to UNIMAS. We switched from hyperlapse to normal mode and dropped Brendan off at Cempaka College, then continued driving around the campus before parking at the Student Pavilion for a stroll along the Jambatan Cinta (Bridge of Love).
Dinner at Siang Siang Corner
For dinner, we went to Siang Siang Corner, the very first food court we visited when we came to Kota Samarahan in 2019. It felt fitting to spend our last evening here.
Time had not been kind to the place — only a few stalls remained open.
- Cat ordered Fried Beehoon
- I had Rice with Fried Chicken
- We shared two sets of chicken wings
- Plus drinks
Dinner came to RM26.60 (≈ USD/EUR6).
We then drove back to the Airbnb.
Looking Ahead
Tomorrow is our penultimate day in Kuching, and with nothing planned, we’ll be playing it by ear.
Stay tuned!
