Kuching Day 5!
It was our penultimate day in Kuching, and with nothing planned, we walked out of the Airbnb toward a row of shop houses. Brendan decided to sleep in and skipped our morning wander.
We strolled for a bit before choosing Thian Fock Café. After days of Kolo Mee, we wanted something different, so we ordered toast with half boiled eggs. It took a while for the eggs to be ready, and with drinks, breakfast came to RM16.00 (≈ USD4/EUR3).
We walked back to the Airbnb, and I spent the rest of the morning on an office call.
Lunchtime Errands
My meeting ended at 12:30pm, and we drove toward Jalan Satok in search of the famous butter cheese cake at Mita Cake House. Unfortunately, it was sold out.
We continued walking along the shop houses and eventually stopped at Jong Hua Kopitiam for lunch. After browsing the stalls, we ordered:
- Sarawak Laksa — RM8.00
- Beef Noodles (Kueh Teow) — RM6.00
- Chicken Rice (packed for Brendan) — RM9.00
- Wheat Grass drinks — RM5.10
Lunch came to RM28.10 (≈ USD/EUR6).
Afterward, we drove around and finally found the butter cheese cake at Mita Cake House, Eastmoore Centre. With that mission complete, we returned to the Airbnb to begin packing for our flight home tomorrow.
A Surprise Car Swap
In the evening, our car rental guy Awang Amirul called to say he had mixed up the rental dates. The car we were using had also been promised to another renter, so he needed to collect it.
In exchange, he handed us the keys to a Toyota Camry to use until tomorrow — quite an upgrade!
As night fell, we drove the replacement car to UNIMAS to pick up Ashley from Cempaka Residential College and take her out for dinner. We headed toward the area near Aiman Mall.
Dinner at Unihaus
We were craving western food and wanted to try GBS Hanbāgā, but it seemed closed, possibly for good. Brendan suggested Unihaus, so off we went.
We found a table, then quickly moved to a larger one when it became available. After browsing the menu, we ordered:
- Beef Cheezy Fries
- Chicken Chop
- Lamb Chop
- Nasi Goreng Daging
- Nasi Goreng Seafood
- Green Ice Tea
- Iced Teh C Special
- Ribena Sprite Longan (2 glasses)
Dinner came to RM76.00 (≈ USD17/EUR16).
We enjoyed our time at Unihaus and got to know Ashley a little better. After an hour, we drove her back to Cempaka Residential College before returning to the Airbnb.
Tomorrow…
Tomorrow, we’ll be leaving on a jet plane. Stay tuned for our final day in Kuching!
