Kuching - Bau - Wind Cave & Fairy Cave

Image
Hooyeah!!! We survived in the rain and when the rain stopped, we ride further down and finally spotted the junction to Wind Cave. Yes, you would arrived at Wind Cave first, followed by Fairy Cave if you are from Kuching. The main entrance. So said hello to Wind Cave first! Torchlight is required here since it is total dark in the cave. Torchlight is available for rent at the ticket counter. A proper trekking shoes with good gripping would be a good choice since it is quite slippery in the cave, especially after rain! There are totally 3 passages in the cave, and we go for passage number 1, which is around 320metres and around 25minutes. If you are in passage number 1, you covered majority of the cave attractions like fruit bat, sink hole, stalagmite and stalactite, cave view and etc. The general map. Passage no. 1! Entering the dark cave! Total dark. You can see some sunlight like picture shown above if you walk until the end.. Baby bats s...

Kuching - Bau - Tasik Biru & Pekan Bau

Image
Bau, a small town around 1 hour drive from Kuching. From Kuching, we travelled to Bau and stopped by Tasik Biru as well as Pekan Bau for lunch while we are on the way to Wind Cave & Fairy Cave. Bau was used to be a gold mining town in Sarawak. Never heard about this small town?? Well, Bau is Malaysia famous diving athlete, Pandelela Rinong's hometown!  We travelled to Bau using the rented motorbike. One good thing travelling using motorbike is it is so easy to stop anywhere you like :P Ok, provided that it is safe :) At a random stop while on the way to Bau. Don't you think here looked like a mini Pinnacles? :P Heading to Tasik Biru :) Don't worry about getting lost, the place is small and sign boards are adequate to bring you there. Spot the golden chair! Tasik Biru (Blue Lake). It was a sunny day when we were there.  By the way, this lake is actually a man-made lake, due to previous gold mining activity. Wave goodb...

Kuching - Things to Do at City Centre

Image
If you plan to stay at Kuching for very short period and do not plan to visit to nearby city like Semenggoh or Bau (although we strongly recommended you to pay a visit there :P), you can still having fun loiter around Kuching city centre! From cultural visit to historical visit and not to forget local attraction tooo! First of all, you may need a transport here to ease your day. Rent a car is too mainstream and you may need to crack your head to look for parking. That’s why we go for motorbike! According to locals, there is only one legal shop at Kuching with motorbike renting service! Ah Hui Motor Address: No. 29, Jalan Tabuan, 93100 Kuching, Sarawak. Telephone: +60168863328 or +6082240508 Opening hours: 8am – 6pm (Monday to Saturday) ; 8.30am – 11am (Sunday and public holiday) Ah Hui Motor. Vespa for rent too! This shop is recommended by Lonely Planet and their service is very good! We rent a motorbike (Karisma) from them for 2 days, Rm40 per day i...

Kuching – Must EAT!

Image
One of the main reason we chose to go Kuching as our weekend getaway destination is because of its FOOD! All Kuching local delicacy, we are coming~~~ No.1 Kolo mee Haha, as per mentioned in previous post, we really have Kolo mee on 3 consecutive days LOL :P Our first Kolo Mee was from Annie Kolo Mee, from a kopitiam near Bomba, behind the big cat statue. Our very first Kolo mee at Kuching, served together with some Char Siew sauce and we add on one bowl of wantan :P  Total RM7.50. Out of expectation, the wantan was quite good! Prawn meat mixed with pork made the wantan juicy yet chewy! Our second Kolo Mee was taken when we stopped by to have lunch at Pekan Bau, when we are on the way to Wind Cave as well as Fairy Cave.  2 Kolo Mee plus Kueh Chap, which is cooked with pork, pork offal and herbs. Total RM16. First try on Kueh Chap :) Our third Kolo Mee was our last lunch before we depart to airport, taken at Noodles Descendents. ...
