sabah food trip

Exploring Kuching & Sabah was a total blast—think blue skies, sea breezes, and foodie adventures you’ll dream about 🌊🌤️ Top Spots to Visit: 1. Kuching Waterfront (Jalan Main Bazaar, 93000 Kuching, Sarawak) – Chill by the riverside with stellar views of modern architecture and local life. Go at sunset if possible—cloudy or sunny, it’s always a vibe! 2. Sarawak Cultural Village (Pantai Damai, Kuching) – Outdoor cultural shows, heritage homes, and food stalls. Don’t miss the grassland wetlands nearby for nature lovers. 3. The Underrated Gem: Lily Cottage & Kitchen (Jalan Astana, Petra Jaya, Kuching; open 8am-8pm) – My go-to spot for homely, local food far from the tourist crowds. Their cakes and signature dishes are must-tries. 4. Sabah Seafood Fest – If you’re hopping over to Sabah, treat yourself to the freshest aquatic products! Local restaurants serve standout fish, prawns, and clams. I highly recommend asking for "tarap"—a fruit you’ll only find here and totally unforgettable. Pro Tips & Hacks: Getting Around: Use Grab for easy, reliable rides—way better than expensive taxis. Kuching attractions are pretty close, so you won’t break the bank. Weather Wise: Pack an umbrella—cloudy skies turn stormy fast; but when the sun’s out, it’s perfect for outdoor exploring. Food Must-Eats: Don’t leave Sabah without tasting tarap and all the fresh seafood. In Kuching, Lily Cottage & Kitchen is a hidden treat; and always grab a meal at a riverside spot for scenery and local flavor. Extra Tips: Most places take cash, so have enough on hand. ATM access is good, but smaller food stalls may not accept cards. #borneoeats #kuchingtravel #sabahseafood #hiddengems #travelasia

Kampung Budaya Sarawak

Uncover Sarawak’s Unique Heritage in Kuching! 🎭🌿 Spend a day immersed in the dazzling tapestry of Sarawak at Kampung Budaya Sarawak and the Borneo Cultures Museum—where tradition and modern storytelling collide with stunning scenery. Start your adventure early at Kampung Budaya Sarawak (9am–5pm), where you’ll stroll through lush outdoor landscapes with a misty Mt. Santubong as your backdrop. Wander from one cultural house to another (great close-up shots of the architecture! featured here is the orang ulu’s longhouse), and don’t miss the vibrant live performances of different ethnic dances—each framed by nature and dramatic cloudy skies if you visit during rainier mornings. Pro tip: stay hydrated as you explore, and consider renting a car to make transportation a breeze. Wind down at the Borneo Cultures Museum (check hours: open Mon–Fri 9am–4:45pm, weekends 9:30am–4:30pm)—a striking modern building that’s insta-worthy inside and out. Head straight for the historical exhibits where interactive displays and Western-style architecture offer plenty of spots for interesting close-ups and indoor photos (especially lovely on a sunny afternoon). Admission ends at 4pm, so plan your visit accordingly! Stay safe by packing a light rain jacket or a small umbrella as it can shift from sunny to rainy in a flash. Buildings are spaced out, so comfy shoes are a must for exploring both outdoor and indoor cultural landscapes. #Kuching #SarawakCulture #OutdoorAdventure #MuseumDay #TravelSmart
