ASSOCIATION OF CHURCHES KUCHING

Jalan Laksamana

I recommend that one goes really early in the morning i.e. before 10 am to get the good stuff. The traffic jam will also be pretty bad in that area so go early. Am going to look for ayam pansor (bamboo chicken) and daun ubi goreng (fried wild tapioca leaves).

There will also be a lot of other native food available. Try it out. You’ll be surprise at how good it actually tastes like. Am also going to bring along Granny. My usual food partner-in-crime.

Got an email from a collegue at work today with directions on how to get there.

UPDATE

Food Fairs organized by churches in Kuching are notoriously jam packed with cars and people. This food fair will have a LOT of people there so be forewarned. Parking space will be horrendous, even though there is a huge parking lot, it still will not be enough.

Yum yum yum! See you there people!

Gosh! Felt so hungry at lunch time. Su was also feeling faint from hunger. Never knew that could happen to anyone in the space of 4-5 hrs but there’s a first time for everything.

Becca ordered some popiah!!

Yeah, we pigged out on popiah. What’s popiah? Fresh spring roll a.k.a. egg roll. Same filling but not fried. Very tasty and nice. What was inside? Mangkuang, cucumbers, carrots and chopped peanuts. Had it with some delicious plum sauce.

Not the best in town but the hawker has definitely improved the taste since it opened last year. They’ve nearly got it right. Nearly but not quite.

Ah well. Who am I to judge considering I don’t even know how to make the skin of the popiah. :p
