Hey man. As a fellow Sarawakian myself, man I'm so glad you manage to capture all of these and upload it online. I grew up in Kuching and what you showed in this video is exactly how things are in Kuching. Everything about Kuching is well documented in this episode. From the history, culture, the price range of things, the community, the smile on everyone's faces, the way each and every one of them can understand and talk to you, is just beautiful. Beautifully captured!
Fun fact, Sarawak and Sabah - despite being within and under the sovereignty of Malaysia - reserve some autonomy that other states don’t. The official language of Sarawak is not Malay, but English. East Malaysia and West Malaysia have separate high courts namely the High Court of Malaya and the High Court of Sabah and Sarawak. They also have their own immigration departments. These are due to the Malaysia Agreement 1963 that grants them with these upon the formation of Malaysia. They (Sabah and Sarawak) alongside Malaya formed Malaysia together and are equal member of the federation. Their status is higher than other states. Furthermore, contrary to popular belief, His Majesty Rajah James Brooke was loved by the Sarawakians and they DID NOT want to be under British control and preferred the House of White Rajahs. The Sarawak separatist movement would fly the old Brooke’s Sarawak flag during protest instead of the current flag. The sixth generation of the Brooke family plays some roles in Sarawak, mostly in charity. He’s the director of the Brooke Trust and Brooke Museums, and the president of The Sarawak Association. In Malaysia, kek lapis Sarawak (Sarawak layer cake) has been a protected geographical indication since 2010. This means that any product may only be called "kek lapis Sarawak/Sarawak layer cake" if it is manufactured in Sarawak according to the specifications of the Sarawak Layer Cake Manufacturers Association. It is illegal to label a similarly-manufactured cake "kek lapis Sarawak/Sarawak layer cake" if it is not actually made in Sarawak, and strictly speaking, producers outside the state may only legally name their products "Sarawak-style" layer cake. Source: onlineip.myipo.gov.my/index.cfm?event=search.gi.details&id=X29 via Wikipedia And Kek Lapis Sarawak can be very expensive in Peninsular Malaysia. RM10 is actually a bargain! My favorite Sarawak traditional cake is Hati Pari
Sarawak is subdivided into 12 divisions which are Kuching, Samarahan, Serian, Sri Aman, Betong, Sarikei, Sibu, Mukah, Bintulu, Kapit, Miri and Limbang.
Kuching Waterfront - reminds me the first time we visit wayback Dec 1996 as local tourist before we moved to Kuching in 2002. 13:25 Kek Lapis (Layer cake) - I always think of Chinese New Year when seeing kek lapis, when I purchased lots of them during that season. I see if I can get Cadbury layer cake from him soon enough.
This is the 1st time I'm commenting. This video put a smile on my face. Being a Sarawakian, I love Sarawak's colorful history. Growing up in Kuching, my fave landmarks are the courthouse, post office, old museum and the forts. Terimakasih udah nemuai ke menoa kami (Thank you for visiting our homeland, JKW, KA & Dodo). Have a safe & wonderful roadtrip.
Wow, woooow, it's lovely and heartwarming to see all the 3 You Tubers from 3 different countries meeting at one particular spot, Borneo Malaysia/Sarawak. Yeah, that's right "Nothing is better than travelling with your friends". Happy exploring and look forward to watching your epic Sarawak roadtrip.
Went to the Culture Museum 2 months ago and it was sooooo fun! Basically bcs it was packed with histories and cultures! Orang KL pergi Muzium Sarawak jadi peghak sebab banyak gila benda baru tahu. I didnt get to read every single description bcs the Museum was massive but it was so amazing getting to know other peoples culture!
If you guys want to experience living in a longhouse of Bidayuh tribe( sub tribe Bidayuh Sadong), I highly recommend you a stay in Kpg Mongkos, Serian which is about 90++km from Kuching. This kampung situated just a few meters from Sarawak-Kalimantan border. Other places also got traditional bidayuh longhouse, like the one in Bung Jagoi/Bung bratak Bau. They are also bidayuh,but from different sub-tribe( bidayuh bau/jagoi). Other than that, we also have longhouse in Annah Rais, Padawan( bidayuh sub-tribe Biatah), situated at the borneo highland which is also the marking of Sarawak-Kalimantan border.
Oh...btw, Steve..you're Canadian right? Did you know that there's a town called 'Sarawak' somewhere in Grey County, Ontario, and also a village called 'Brooke' nearby...the town & village was named after Kingdom of Sarawak in Borneo back then in 1857 by Lord Bury aka William Coutts-Keppel; the Governor-General of Canada at that time. His uncle, Sir Henry Keppel was a good friend of James Brooke. James Brooke bought a ship from Henry Keppel, which is known as HMS Dido.
@@JetLagWarriors another interesting info you should look it up; here in Sarawak, we have Canada Hill in Miri...kinda historical coz it's the location of our very first oil well; 'The Grand Old Lady' in Sarawak and also the first one in Malaysia...a Petroleum Museum was built next to the Grand Old Lady site to honor the beginning of petroleum discovery in Malaysia as a whole...
I'm proud to be sarawakian!.. We as sarawakian welcoming all friend all over the world to came here.. In sarawak our main language are malay and English.. So its easy for tourists to communicate here..
Five Sarawak legends about people turning into stones 1. Fairy cave, Bau 2.The seven Seping longhouses that turned into stone 3.The legend of Ikan Pasit 4.The Sarawak version of Si Tanggang 5.The floating temple of Sebauh
Hey man, if you're in Sarawak. I personally recommend to try Barong Tinuk at Jalan Merdeka. They serve authentic Melanau dishes like linut, umai and lumek. I just brought my friends from Kelantan and Johor there and they loved it. Really friendly owner. Other recommendations, you can stop by to Sepinang Sari at Satok for legendary beef noodles and Pak Awang Mee Jawa with some good satays as well. You can google these locations.
Thank u sir for promoting Kuching, the cat city with honest passion and great understanding...we hope you enjoy your vacation in Kuching wholeheartedly.
Welcome to Sarawak. Do plan a visit to the Sarawak Tourism Office at the old court house. There's lot's going on this year but due to the pandemic recovery, most events are not updated on their websites. There's Pesta Benak, Pesta Kaul of the Melanau, the Pesta Nukenen of the Kelabit, the Pesta Benak - Tidal bore festival, The borneo kite festival in Bintulu, Borneo cultural festival in Sibu, Borneo tattoo convention, The Sarawak regatta, Kapit festival - crazy powerboat races and unique foods and the list goes on. So do drop by the tourism board office to get an overview of the events. Do also check out the Express BOAT schedules as they are some of the most comfortable and scenic ways to travel Sarawak. For this weekend, do pop by Siniawan during the evenings. The night market is popping. There's a pub there called the Bikalan. The owners are an amazing couple and they will give you great tips on the going ons in the area. Got a real nice homestay there too to serve as your launching pad for the Bau area. Enjoy your stay and looking forward to more videos of your adventures here.
Thanks for sharing your first impressions of Kuching, Sarawak. Really good to see Ken, Mike n Gigi joining u guys in Sarawak. D river front looked very beautiful.
@Farmer&Ganja malaysia Stay safe, hopefully, it will be legal in Malaysia soon like Thailand, as an alternative to proven effective medicinal properties. 🙂
A reunion of old friends and the beginning of a new friendship with @Dodo Explorers. Such a lovely start as you embark on your exploration of Sarawak. Have a safe and pleasant trip, everyone! 😀👍😊
I m from west Malaysian and the kek lapis is the must try food from east malaysia, seldom can find at west malaysia.. last time I was tried from my east Malaysia friends.. it is so so nice..
Layer cake is either baked in oven or steamed. Personally, I prefer the steamed one (more moist). Among classic ones aside from kek belacan are kek lumut (cheese), holiday inn, masam manis & pilih kasih (sesame seed/peanut)
Normally it is homemade or via online order. I'm not sure which bakery has it at the moment coz mostly are baked via oven but sometimes with a bit of luck, you might come across the steamed ones at certain food stall/festive event. Will keep you posted once I have the info 🙋Nevertheless, if you got the premium quality one fresh from the oven, the taste will be as good
Welcome to our state SARAWAK and our city of Kuching.Have your nice trip and enjoy your day.Hope you all would love it.Thank you for sharing your video with me.God blessed you all
@@JetLagWarriors good. Hope you'll have a great time at my hometown, Betong. You can go visit Bukit Sadok, the stronghold of our Iban warrior, Rentap. Lots of history in Betong. That's the hometown of our 1st Chief Minister of Sarawak, my late dad.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the kek lapis Sarawak.. we normally will buy it for our relatives/friends or serve it during Hari Raya (Eid) But never eats it all by yourself Steve..too much calories XD (main ingredients are butter and lots of eggs)
Sarawak have a long history...there's a lot of 'Lost Kingdom' exist long before the Brooke Family settled in Sarawak and formed 'Sarawak Bumi Kenyalang' (Sarawak The Land of Hornbill) we know today...
Thank you for coming to Kuching Sarawak, i just came across your videos of Sarawak. I am from Sri Aman but now lived in Kuching.Seeing your videos help me to learn more about my own country, there are still many places here i haven't visits.
@@JetLagWarriors, for ideas on what to do and where to go in Sibu... I think Nick aka Global Gibbon is the best person for ideas. He had just made videos about his trip there recently. Here's another place to check out - Coffee Code. They make delicious cakes and nice coffee. There's an experimental chocolate maker in Sibu but can't remember the name... Chelum (means black), I think... Will let you know when I find more info.
Kek Hati Pari and Prune Cake which I loved.Kek Mata Kuching,Kek Lumut and Kek Batik ,very old recripes are peoples'favourites.If the cake put a dubstance called"belschan" means the cake vontsins sour fruit cslled Haw,with haw flskes.Not actually the real belschan or shrimp paste.Love from Brunei Darussalam.
Ah, my mom was very interested in going to Borneo! She mentioned it a lot in trip planning, especially staying at a longhouse. Unfortunately, we are tight for time. We will see: Peninsular Malaysia, Bali, Jakarta, and Singapore. Hopefully, we will be back one day for Sabah and Sarawak
Dear All.. JetlagWarriirs, Ken Abroad and Dodo Explorer. I pray and wish that your road trip will be filled with laughter and beautiful adventures. May all will be safe during the road trip.
Just a note of caution.. the deer and wild boar are protected in Sarawak among other exotic meats. Unfortunately a lot of our virgin rainforest has been destroyed and along with it, a lot of its fauna.
aaa..history of sarawak, sultan brunei kingdom was huge one time...from brunei to kalimantan, to sarawak, sabah then to phillipine..that was his kingdom...he was threatened by james brooke(if i am not mistaken) that if he was not given the land that is sarawak now, he wont have guarantee to be protected against his enemies...thats one of the reasons the sultan gave him sarawak....well, i dont know whether this is mentioned in the museum as i myself havent even gone to that museum..i hope the museum is as good as its value of about rm100million worth of project....lots of stories behind the white rajah, and one of the white rajah, charles brooke, he married a malay through civil marriage and they had a son, when charles went back to england because he needed to find finance as sarawak was in debt or needed money, he came back to sarawak with an english wife..his wife was surprised that he had a wife too in kuching, when the malay wife died, she arranged with a priest to adopt the boy and brought him back to england becus she feared he would be next king, the priest was paid allowance for looking after the boy, the priest then moved to canada, the boy grew up and spent his life there in canada...his grand daughter came here few years back...btw how am i to contact you guys since i live in kuching...if you dont mind....
Ini bukan soal Brooke, tapi memang strategi dan dasar empayar british zaman itu.. Stamford Raffles, Francis light, James Brooke sekadar nama yang tiba di Asia tenggara. Ada ramai lagi ke benua afrika, amerika utara, china dan india.. Bahkan jelas angkatan 'swasta' ini dikerah semasa perang British Sepanyol. Angkatan King Philip Sepanyol sendiri tewas dengan angkatan swasta ini.. Begitu juga kaedah ini digunakan antara angkatan eropah dengan angkatan uthmaniah. Bukti jelas Brooke ada hubungan dengan british adalah apabila angkatan british mengebom kesultanan sambas yang cuba membantu orang melayu Sarawak yang cuba melawan brooke. Begitu juga kata kata rentap yang mencabar brooke pergilah ambil lagi meriam dari british di India. Ini kerana serangan brooke tidak dapat menembusi kubu rentap yang dibina dari kayu balak belian... Kita patut kagum dengan Rentap yang tidak pernah tunduk kepada brooke. Ini patut suatu kebanggaan buat warga Sarawak sbg symbol tidak pernah tunduk dengan Brooke.. - aldarhami Salah satu tokoh Dayak yang berani menentang kepimpinan Melayu brunei pada awal penyebaran kuasa brunei ke sarawak ialah Unggang Lebor Menoa yg merupakan keturunan dayak Iban.. Beliau merupakan pemimpin dayak iban pertama yang membuat perahu serta kapal untuk mengawal lautan di sekitar sarawak daripada jajahan kesultanan Brunei dan lanun-lanun dari selatan Filipina yang sering membuat onar di petempatan orang dayak.. Disebabkan hal ini, orang iban dianggap sebagai "Sea Dayak" oleh orang Eropah kerana mereka merupakan satu-satunya sub-suku Dayak yang belayar ke laut walaupun mereka bukan tergolong dalam masyarakat maritim.. Selain itu, Unggang Lebor Menoa juga menjalinkan hubungan persahabatan dengan orang Melayu sarawak di sekitar Batang Saribas hingga ke Nanga Tebas untuk menentang jajahan brunei.. Itulah asal usul sesetengah pemimpin dayak mempunyai gelaran Temenggung, Datuk, Panglima dan sebagainya kerana mereka diiktiraf oleh masyarakat Melayu sarawak pada masa itu. Contohnya, Temenggong Jugah, Temenggong Koh dan Panglima Rentap *sejarah ni tiada dlm buku teks, sy ambil drpd sumber lisan org tua2 serta dokumentari yg telah dibuat oleh pengkaji dulu2✌ - Jelu babas
@@adamzack9259 itu saya tahu, tapi ada isu isu yang sensitif yang saya tak nak masuk dlm komen ni… tapi maaf tak semua yang anda komen adalah betul, sarawak bawah brunei bukanlah jajahan kesultanan brunei… kita dulu beraja seperti di semenanjung, pasal gelaran sea dayak tu… memang dulu ada 2 gelaran… sea or land dayak… kalau british beri gelaran sea dayak sebab pandai buat kapal dan melawan musuh di lautan itu saya kurang pasti, nanyi saya akan cek pasal benda ini,tapi apa yg saya tahu,salah satu tektik brooke adalah mengugut sultan brunei secara halus utk mendapatkan sarawak dari beliau, sarawak juga bukan jajahan bila di bwh brooke, kita masih bersistemkan raja , itu sebab beliau di gelar the white rajah,brooke legacy lah yg memberi swak kpd british, masa itulah di gelar jajahan di mana ramai org swak memberontak dan salah satu insiden adalah bila rosli dhobi membunuh governor sibu, there were rumours, bila kerajaan swak mengalihkan kubur rosli dhobi,kubur beliau kosong… allahuallam.. tak taulah samada ini benar ke tak…
I think there'a a movie on James Brooke legacy called Edge of the world (2021) filmed in Sarawak. I have not watched it myself. Duration : 1 hr 44 minutes
Thanx guys for the info, actually im looking for the mask extender, which i saw Steve wore it.. I really like it.. Gonna get it this weekend.. Thanx guys....
Hi guys 👋 Ken , Mr and Mrs Dodo thanks for taking us around Kuching , beautiful place and the people are so nice and friendly 👍🏻 the layer cake i.e kek lapis is very popular in Sarawak , this cake can be found almost every where in Sarawak. Usually this cake would be served on special occasion such as on religious or cultural celebrations or weddings. Now they’re doing good business by selling these cakes , have a great time 😘🥰👍🏻
Watching from NYC . Haha I agree with the hot , streaming HUMID weather I would retire back in my hometown KUCHING . Went back in 2015 and 17 and is planning to go back with my girls for 2023 CNY . Enjoy the Kuching food guys and stay hydrated. Oooh my favorite lapis 🙀
saya rasa baik stay di NYC sik ada apa di sarawak tok. Malaysia kos tinggi, politaik pun mcm sampah. Cuaca pun panas sitok. Kalau mau rasa makanan sarawak apply cuti vacation ke saraawak. tu lg bagus
Actually Sarawak have many hidden gems to explore as the area is very big. There 3 regions in Sarawak which is southern region (Kuching), central region (Sibu), and Northern region (Miri, Bintulu and Limbang)
@@capetown8874 x explore, mmg x nmpk. Selalunya ddk negeri sendiri mmg mcm tu. Kalo prg negeri org baru explore n nmpk. Selalunya kalo negeri sendiri, kita kan ckp. Kelak2 lah pergi, bukan jauh ne pun. Last2 mmg Sik pergi pun.
Steve's narration on History is always interesting....l always listen attentively to it. Well done, Steve. Thanks for the tour in the museum. Shout-out to Mike for his honest opinion about Malaysia, that group of cute girls at the River Front and the best part is at the "Kek Lapis" stall. Wow, all those cakes look yum, yum, yum 😋😋😋
Im proud most of Sarawakian able to understand and speak english. Oooohaaaa.
urang serawak nang setidiii cak..
Thx
It's true
89% sarawakian can speak english
Not surprise. Malaysia is one of the country that really good at english in Southeast Asia with Singapore and the Phillipines.
Hey man. As a fellow Sarawakian myself, man I'm so glad you manage to capture all of these and upload it online.

Let's do this!!
Let’s goooo🚗🚗🚗💪
Woohoo!!!
Must visit fairy cave kuching
@@leolesliesiambun5355 yup in Bau. Another way route.
No freaking way you guys actually visiting my hometown,im shook!!
Fun fact,
Sarawak and Sabah - despite being within and under the sovereignty of Malaysia - reserve some autonomy that other states don’t. The official language of Sarawak is not Malay, but English. East Malaysia and West Malaysia have separate high courts namely the High Court of Malaya and the High Court of Sabah and Sarawak. They also have their own immigration departments. These are due to the Malaysia Agreement 1963 that grants them with these upon the formation of Malaysia. They (Sabah and Sarawak) alongside Malaya formed Malaysia together and are equal member of the federation. Their status is higher than other states.
Furthermore, contrary to popular belief, His Majesty Rajah James Brooke was loved by the Sarawakians and they DID NOT want to be under British control and preferred the House of White Rajahs. The Sarawak separatist movement would fly the old Brooke’s Sarawak flag during protest instead of the current flag.
The sixth generation of the Brooke family plays some roles in Sarawak, mostly in charity. He’s the director of the Brooke Trust and Brooke Museums, and the president of The Sarawak Association.
In Malaysia, kek lapis Sarawak (Sarawak layer cake) has been a protected geographical indication since 2010. This means that any product may only be called "kek lapis Sarawak/Sarawak layer cake" if it is manufactured in Sarawak according to the specifications of the Sarawak Layer Cake Manufacturers Association. It is illegal to label a similarly-manufactured cake "kek lapis Sarawak/Sarawak layer cake" if it is not actually made in Sarawak, and strictly speaking, producers outside the state may only legally name their products "Sarawak-style" layer cake.

I agree Steve, your road trip is going to be amazing because the 5 of you have synergy together.
Welcome to Sarawak. Do plan a visit to the Sarawak Tourism Office at the old court house. There's lot's going on this year but due to the pandemic recovery, most events are not updated on their websites.
There's Pesta Benak, Pesta Kaul of the Melanau, the Pesta Nukenen of the Kelabit, the Pesta Benak - Tidal bore festival, The borneo kite festival in Bintulu, Borneo cultural festival in Sibu, Borneo tattoo convention, The Sarawak regatta, Kapit festival - crazy powerboat races and unique foods and the list goes on.

Ah, my mom was very interested in going to Borneo! She mentioned it a lot in trip planning, especially staying at a longhouse. Unfortunately, we are tight for time. We will see: Peninsular Malaysia, Bali, Jakarta, and Singapore. Hopefully, we will be back one day for Sabah and Sarawak
@@JetLagWarriorsoh damn it how could u?😢

Rainforest Music World Festival is a must to attend.
Just a note of caution.. the deer and wild boar are protected in Sarawak among other exotic meats. Unfortunately a lot of our virgin rainforest has been destroyed and along with it, a lot of its fauna.
aaa..history of sarawak, sultan brunei kingdom was huge one time...from brunei to kalimantan, to sarawak, sabah then to phillipine..that was his kingdom...he was threatened by james brooke(if i am not mistaken) that if he was not given the land that is sarawak now, he wont have guarantee to be protected against his enemies...thats one of the reasons the sultan gave him sarawak....well, i dont know whether this is mentioned in the museum as i myself havent even gone to that museum..i hope the museum is as good as its value of about rm100million worth of project....lots of stories behind the white rajah, and one of the white rajah, charles brooke, he married a malay through civil marriage and they had a son, when charles went back to england because he needed to find finance as sarawak was in debt or needed money, he came back to sarawak with an english wife..his wife was surprised that he had a wife too in kuching, when the malay wife died, she arranged with a priest to adopt the boy and brought him back to england becus she feared he would be next king, the priest was paid allowance for looking after the boy, the priest then moved to canada, the boy grew up and spent his life there in canada...his grand daughter came here few years back...btw how am i to contact you guys since i live in kuching...if you dont mind....
Ini bukan soal Brooke, tapi memang strategi dan dasar empayar british zaman itu.. Stamford Raffles, Francis light, James Brooke sekadar nama yang tiba di Asia tenggara. Ada ramai lagi ke benua afrika, amerika utara, china dan india..
Bahkan jelas angkatan 'swasta' ini dikerah semasa perang British Sepanyol. Angkatan King Philip Sepanyol sendiri tewas dengan angkatan swasta ini..
Begitu juga kaedah ini digunakan antara angkatan eropah dengan angkatan uthmaniah.
Bukti jelas Brooke ada hubungan dengan british adalah apabila angkatan british mengebom kesultanan sambas yang cuba membantu orang melayu Sarawak yang cuba melawan brooke.
Begitu juga kata kata rentap yang mencabar brooke pergilah ambil lagi meriam dari british di India. Ini kerana serangan brooke tidak dapat menembusi kubu rentap yang dibina dari kayu balak belian...
Kita patut kagum dengan Rentap yang tidak pernah tunduk kepada brooke. Ini patut suatu kebanggaan buat warga Sarawak sbg symbol tidak pernah tunduk dengan Brooke..

Salah satu tokoh Dayak yang berani menentang kepimpinan Melayu brunei pada awal penyebaran kuasa brunei ke sarawak ialah Unggang Lebor Menoa yg merupakan keturunan dayak Iban..
Beliau merupakan pemimpin dayak iban pertama yang membuat perahu serta kapal untuk mengawal lautan di sekitar sarawak daripada jajahan kesultanan Brunei dan lanun-lanun dari selatan Filipina yang sering membuat onar di petempatan orang dayak..
Disebabkan hal ini, orang iban dianggap sebagai "Sea Dayak" oleh orang Eropah kerana mereka merupakan satu-satunya sub-suku Dayak yang belayar ke laut walaupun mereka bukan tergolong dalam masyarakat maritim..
Selain itu, Unggang Lebor Menoa juga menjalinkan hubungan persahabatan dengan orang Melayu sarawak di sekitar Batang Saribas hingga ke Nanga Tebas untuk menentang jajahan brunei..
Itulah asal usul sesetengah pemimpin dayak mempunyai gelaran Temenggung, Datuk, Panglima dan sebagainya kerana mereka diiktiraf oleh masyarakat Melayu sarawak pada masa itu. Contohnya, Temenggong Jugah, Temenggong Koh dan Panglima Rentap

@@adamzack9259 itu saya tahu, tapi ada isu isu yang sensitif yang saya tak nak masuk dlm komen ni… tapi maaf tak semua yang anda komen adalah betul, sarawak bawah brunei bukanlah jajahan kesultanan brunei… kita dulu beraja seperti di semenanjung, pasal gelaran sea dayak tu… memang dulu ada 2 gelaran… sea or land dayak… kalau british beri gelaran sea dayak sebab pandai buat kapal dan melawan musuh di lautan itu saya kurang pasti, nanyi saya akan cek pasal benda ini,tapi apa yg saya tahu,salah satu tektik brooke adalah mengugut sultan brunei secara halus utk mendapatkan sarawak dari beliau, sarawak juga bukan jajahan bila di bwh brooke, kita masih bersistemkan raja , itu sebab beliau di gelar the white rajah,brooke legacy lah yg memberi swak kpd british, masa itulah di gelar jajahan di mana ramai org swak memberontak dan salah satu insiden adalah bila rosli dhobi membunuh governor sibu, there were rumours, bila kerajaan swak mengalihkan kubur rosli dhobi,kubur beliau kosong… allahuallam.. tak taulah samada ini benar ke tak…
Dont forget Sarawak Laksa "Anthony Bourdain once called Sarawak laksa “Breakfast of the Gods”"

Hi guys 👋 Ken , Mr and Mrs Dodo thanks for taking us around Kuching , beautiful place and the people are so nice and friendly 👍🏻 the layer cake i.e kek lapis is very popular in Sarawak , this cake can be found almost every where in Sarawak. Usually this cake would be served on special occasion such as on religious or cultural celebrations or weddings. Now they’re doing good business by selling these cakes , have a great time 😘🥰👍🏻
Sedapnya kek lapis
Watching from NYC . Haha I agree with the hot , streaming HUMID weather I would retire back in my hometown KUCHING . Went back in 2015 and 17 and is planning to go back with my girls for 2023 CNY . Enjoy the Kuching food guys and stay hydrated. Oooh my favorite lapis 🙀
Thanks, Alice!
saya rasa baik stay di NYC sik ada apa di sarawak tok. Malaysia kos tinggi, politaik pun mcm sampah. Cuaca pun panas sitok. Kalau mau rasa makanan sarawak apply cuti vacation ke saraawak. tu lg bagus
Omg, love watching you guys, Ken Abroad, Mike and Gigi channel..glad you guys enjoy yr trip and stay while in Kuching. However do take care.
Thanks, Anastasia!
There is museum dedicated for cats in kuching.. Cat Museum..
Wouldn't it be more cheerful if travelgramer with u guys as well..
They've travelled East Malaysia before the pandemic (not extensively as these guys are planning to do though). They even did Brunei.
yes, it would.
Steve has lots of Sarawak fans. 👍
The combination is better than any stand up comedy! 😂😂😂
Actually Sarawak have many hidden gems to explore as the area is very big. There 3 regions in Sarawak which is southern region (Kuching), central region (Sibu), and Northern region (Miri, Bintulu and Limbang)
@Farmer&Ganja malaysia spam
x nampak pun apa yg menarik di sarawak especially sibu.
@Farmer&Ganja malaysia spam & liar. Always promote something stupid
@@capetown8874 x explore, mmg x nmpk. Selalunya ddk negeri sendiri mmg mcm tu. Kalo prg negeri org baru explore n nmpk. Selalunya kalo negeri sendiri, kita kan ckp. Kelak2 lah pergi, bukan jauh ne pun. Last2 mmg Sik pergi pun.
@@SongHwaRin, tandah jak... nya jeles iya. 😆

JLW, Good one!!!
Thank you Crystal❤️
LoL the Dodo always wandering around 😆
Fun vlogg guys👍👍👍👍👍
Steve's narration on History is always interesting....l always listen attentively to it. Well done, Steve. Thanks for the tour in the museum. Shout-out to Mike for his honest opinion about Malaysia, that group of cute girls at the River Front and the best part is at the "Kek Lapis" stall. Wow, all those cakes look yum, yum, yum 😋😋😋
Seconder 🙋🏻♂️(Steve's narration on History)
@@zaharizak 👍🙌
The premium Cake lapis taste better because they use good butter that is why it is expensive
yes, we could really taste the difference👍
My home is just across the river
Go to Bario and Mulu Cave for your adventure in Sarawak
Nice place to spend time at the river front. Hopefully your roadtrip reach Sibu.
we plan to!😊
