Hunting for Manuk Pansuh
After returning from our Kenyalang Park Market adventure, we reached Adelyn’s homestay at 8:30am, showered, and chilled until evening. During our chat with Robin from Borneo Headhunters Tattoo the day before, he had recommended a local dish we had to try: Manuk Pansuh, a traditional chicken dish cooked in bamboo. He told us it could be found across the Waterfront in Kampung Gersik.
So we searched online and found My Village Barok Bistro, a place known for serving authentic Sarawakian dishes — including the one we were after.
Dinner at My Village Barok
At 5:00pm, we hopped into the rental car and headed toward Kampung Gersik. The drive took about twenty minutes, but parking was tricky, so we ended up leaving the car a short distance away. My Village Barok sits right beside the Sarawak River, so we took the scenic riverbank route to reach it.
The restaurant is known for its vintage atmosphere — rustic touches, Bornean décor, and a menu built around local favourites. It felt warm, nostalgic, and unmistakably Sarawakian.
After browsing their online menu, we ordered:
- Manuk (Chicken) Pansuh
- Ikan Terubuk Masin
- Umai Ikan
- Midin Belacan
- Iced Green Tea Lemon
- Iced Assamboi Limau Kasturi
- 2 plates of White Rice
Our Sarawakian feast came to RM80.50 (≈ USD19/EUR17).
A Walk by the Sarawak River
We realised we had eaten a little too well, so we decided to walk off some of the calories. Since we were already by the river, we strolled along the riverbank all the way to the I ❤️ Kuching signboard and back. The evening breeze, the river lights, and the quiet hum of Kampung Gersik made it a lovely post dinner walk.
After that, we hopped back into the rental car and made the ten minute drive back to Adelyn’s homestay.
A Rainy Night in Kuching
Just as we got back and showered, heavy rain began to fall. We were grateful — Kuching had been getting hot and humid, and the rain cooled everything down beautifully.
What’s Next
Stay tuned — in the next video, we leave at the crack of dawn, hoping to catch a glimpse of orangutans!
