By local Kuching\u00a0blogger, Hani Lutfi<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kuching is the capital city of Sarawak<\/a>, one of the two Malaysian\u00a0areas\u00a0of the Borneo Island. The tropical city has a great mix of culture and races and has become one of the most ideal vacation spots in Southeast Asia, especially after being awarded the title, \u201cCity of Unity\u201d. While you might be looking online at great things to do and see in Kuching, there are a few gems of Kuching that might get left out and today, as a local of Kuching my job is to give you a rundown of the things you should do in Kuching that you might not already know.<\/p>\n

Local Tips: Things to do in Kuching\"compass-divider\"<\/h2>\n

1) Hang out at\u00a0Locals’ Favourite Spots <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Kuching has recently grown\u00a0in many ways when it comes to food.\u00a0With so many cafes and restaurants, Kuchingites are definitely spoiled for choice. If you\u2019re ditching the great bars and clubs for a night, then these few places are ones you should check out.<\/p>\n

\"MK<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The New Galley\u2019s Caf\u00e9<\/strong> is a great hookah place in the Satok area, it opens until late and is full almost every night, even on weekdays. The caf\u00e9 serves more Sarawakian favourites like the Sarawak style butter chicken fried rice<\/em>, mee kolok tumis<\/em> (the caf\u00e9\u2019s special rendition of the mee kolok), grilled sandwiches, pasta and more. With a wide selection of hookahs to choose from, it\u2019s always filled with youngsters.<\/p>\n

\"the-galleys-kuching-restaurant\"<\/p>\n

Carpark Caf\u00e9<\/strong> is another extraordinary place to chill at as it is situated in an actual carpark and it can be considered as one of those in-trend container cafes. The caf\u00e9 serves dishes like the chicken chop, nasi lemak, and of course the Sarawakian supper favourite – \u00a0banana cheese<\/em> with a wide selection of toppings like Famous Amos cookie crumbs, Oreo cookie crumbs and more. The banana cheese is basically banana fritters with cheese and condensed milk. Carpark Caf\u00e9 also serves one of the most refined teh tarik<\/em> I\u2019ve tasted in the whole of Kuching!<\/p>\n

\"Banana<\/p>\n

MK Classico Caf\u00e9<\/strong> is a hipster caf\u00e9 in town, close to great restaurants like The Junk<\/strong> and Blablabla<\/strong>.\u00a0It\u2019s a great place to have some coffee and enjoy looking at some of the art and vintage knick knacks they have on display. The caf\u00e9 serves up amazing burgers, pizzas, pasta\u00a0AND\u00a0they have the best cakes and coffee. If you fall in the love with the decor, take it home — for a price of course, as the furniture is also for sale.<\/p>\n

\"MK<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2) Experience the Kuching \u201cteatime\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While you might be used to having tea in pretty little teacups with little pastries and sandwiches in the evening, the people in Kuching do it a bit more differently with shaved ice desserts and hawker style dishes.<\/p>\n

Swee Kang<\/strong> is every Kuchingite\u2019s favourite place to hang out at most weekends when the sun is ready to set. Most people opt for the Jagung Milo<\/em>, a shaved ice dessert you can\u2019t find anywhere outside Sarawak. Jagung Milo<\/em>, which literally means corn and Milo, is basically a delicious bowl of shaved ice, milk, corn and Milo and it\u2019s the best thing you can have on a hot and sunny day.<\/p>\n

\"Sweekang,\"Jagung<\/p>\n

Of course, being Malaysians, you can still find more popular Malaysian shaved ice desserts like the ABC<\/em>, Ais Kacang<\/em> and more.<\/p>\n

To complete the entire experience, you must try the char kueh<\/em>, rojak<\/em>, lok lok<\/em> and mee belacan<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"CharChar Kueh<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

3) Catch the Perfect View of the\u00a0City<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Kuching does not have a lot of tall buildings to observe the city from, but there are a few special places where you can definitely catch the most breath-taking views. Pictures don’t do it justice so it’s well worth visiting in person.<\/p>\n

The Siol Hill<\/strong> is home to the Kuching North City Hall<\/strong> and the Cat Museum<\/strong>. At the top of the hill, you can find the most beautiful garden, man-made waterfall and the most beautiful view. You can see some of the residences, tall landmarks and it\u2019s the perfect place to sit on your car, have a few sandwiches and bask in the beautiful sight. However, the Siol Hill is not accessible during the night so I would advise you to go at 4-5PM, when the sky is settling down for the night.<\/p>\n

The Zecon Toll Concessionaire Bridge<\/strong> is one of my favourite bridges to pass through in the morning and when the sun is setting because you get, again, an absolutely\u00a0beautiful view of the city with the river in sight. Since it is a bridge, it is not ideal to stop and take a picture but you can always try going when the traffic is clear so you can stop without getting cursed at. Peak hours in Kuching are usually between 4-6PM and\u00a07-9PM.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not willing to make the distant trip to the places I\u2019ve mentioned, you can easily walk to the Riverside Majestic Hotel<\/a><\/strong> and hop on the elevator to the 18th<\/sup> floor. This would be my favourite place to go to watch fireworks on Chinese New Year or New Year\u2019s eve.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

4) Pass through Kuching\u00a0Landmarks <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Landmarks in Kuching often aren’t open to visitors but an easy way around this is to hop in a\u00a0car and pass through to enjoy the beautiful architecture.<\/p>\n

The State Legislative Assembly<\/strong> building is pretty popular in the guide books but what you might not know is that there are two<\/em> State Legislative Assembly buildings. The buildings are located in the Astana area so if you can get someone to take you around, it\u2019s always nice to pass through the buildings as they are not too far away from each other. You can go to the old State Legislative Assembly building, located across the Kuching courthouse then go on to the newer building, which is right beside the Rajah Brooke Astana where the Yang Di-Pertua Negeri lives and the Orchid Park<\/strong> which is open from 9.30AM till 6PM.<\/p>\n

\"Kuching<\/p>\n

The Borneo Convention Centre Kuching<\/strong> has one of the most remarkable architecture as it was built to look like a bird\u2019s nest. The building is located in The Isthmus area of Bako and is one of the most grand exhibition halls in Kuching.<\/p>\n

The Baitulmakmur Building<\/strong> is located along Jalan Tun Abdul Rahman in the Petra Jaya area. The entire Baitulmakmur compound looks ordinary as you drive towards it but as soon as you stop by the bridge and see the large man-made lake, it\u2019s a feeling like no other.<\/p>\n

Other landmarks like the Indian Mosque<\/strong>, Jamek Mosque<\/strong>, Kuching North City Hall<\/strong>, Kuching South City Council<\/strong> building, the Malaysia-China Friendship Park<\/strong>\u00a0are also worth the visit.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5) Cross the Sarawak River <\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Sarawak River divides the centre of Kuching from the rest of the city and over the decades, people have been going back and forth by the sampan. Now, the sampan remains as a form of transportation called the penambang<\/em> and is kept as a tourist attraction. For\u00a0only 50 cents (RM1 after 7PM), you can go from the Kuching Waterfront<\/strong> to Kampung Gersik<\/strong> and\u00a0explore that part of the city, called the Petra Jaya area.<\/p>\n

Kampung Gersik is located near a well-known kek lapis<\/em> (layered cake) shop which is a Sarawak specialty and is located near other tourist attractions like the Fort Margherita<\/strong>. If you can get someone to take you on a tour around that particular area of Kuching, you can kill two birds with one stone by using the penambang to get to Kampung Gersik then ask him or her to meet you there.<\/p>\n

At the Waterfront, you can also get on the cruise or the donut boat for the fun of it.<\/p>\n

\"Kuching<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

6) Have a taste of some authentic traditional food<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sarawak is famous for its Sarawak Laksa<\/em> and Mee Kolok<\/em>. However, there are many traditional dishes that get left out.<\/p>\n

Dishes like the manok pansuh<\/em>, linut<\/em> (which is also known as ambuyat in the Philippines as a Filipino specialty), umai<\/em> (something\u00a0like a ceviche) and the midin<\/em> (jungle fern) are more difficult to find around the city. However, My Village Barok<\/strong> has all of them under one roof.<\/p>\n

My Village Barok is a restaurant serving Sarawakian food at Kampung Gersik. To get there, you can use the penambang I mentioned earlier. (More birds being killed with that one stone eh?)<\/p>\n

\"jellyfish-unai-kuching\"\u00a0\u00a0umai (raw fish salad)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7) Modern Sarawakian Specialties <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Over the past couple of years, Sarawakians have been more creative with more classic ingredients.<\/p>\n

Gulapong<\/em>, also known as Gula Nipah<\/em> in West Malaysia, is palm sugar, which has a distinct flavour to it. The gulapong ice-cream has been around since I was a little girl in the early 2000s. However, the popularity of the gulapong ice-cream was boosted when a classic gulapong ice-cream shop at the Open Air market opposite Electra House<\/strong> in town was taken over by the son of the owner. The shop has been around for ages and still remains a hot favourite among\u00a0Kuchingites. The gulapong ice-cream is a vanilla or pandan flavoured ice-cream with gulapong syrup, topped off with your choice of\u00a0cornflakes, crushed peanuts or both.<\/p>\n

\"borneo-gulapong\"\u00a0gulapong ice-cream<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

In the past few months, more gulapong ice-cream shops have opened and a couple of them have made their mark. DP Ice-Cream<\/strong>, a shop located close to the cat statue at Padungan<\/strong> serves gulapong flavoured ice-cream with gulapong syrup and the choice between Nestum, Oreo crumbs, crushed peanuts or all.<\/p>\n

\"kuching-dp-gulapong-dessert\"\u00a0DP Ice-Cream<\/span><\/em>\"kuching-DP-gulapong\"<\/p>\n

Borneo Ice-Cream<\/strong> is another shop located in the Taman Hussein neighbourhood and they serve Horlicks flavoured ice-cream with gulapong caramel and Oreo crumbs.<\/p>\n

The banana cheese<\/em> is another favourite and you can get them at RJ Ayam Bakar<\/strong>, located in town, close to DP Ice-Cream or my personal favourite, at Carpark Caf\u00e9<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Mushroom noodles<\/em> might not be as special as you think it is but when you have orange noodles, it becomes a specialty. Mohamad Lim Mushroom Noodles<\/strong>, located at Ting\u2019s Caf\u00e9<\/strong> in the Bukit Mata area, has been around since I was a little girl and still remains as my favourite place to have breakfast. Go to the Riverside Mall, find the children\u2019s or homeware department and you\u2019ll see an exit which will lead you to a few shops. From the exit, you can see Ting\u2019s Caf\u00e9 very clearly. Or ask a friendly local for directions.<\/p>\n

8) Pay the beach a visit<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you want to know what the people of Kuching do to \u201cget away\u201d from the \u201chustle and bustle\u201d of the city (not that Kuching has that much hustle and bustle) it\u2019s hitting the the beach. The Santubong<\/strong> area is home to many different beaches.<\/p>\n

Most Kuchingites prefer to stay at the Damai beach resorts<\/strong> to feel like they\u2019re on a vacation but if they\u2019re not relaxing in a hotel room, they go to a couple of the public beaches available in the area. Pasir Panjang<\/strong> is the first beach stumble upon on your way to Santubong. so many people prefer going there to save time (and petrol).<\/p>\n

But some don’t mind heading to the Damai Central<\/strong>, a beach hub located between the Damai Beach resort and the Damai Puri resort, opposite the famous Sarawak Cultural Village<\/strong>. At the Damai Central, there’s more food to fill your belly but at Pasir Panjang, you’ll have more space to run around or have a picnic on the beach.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re all so great and the absolute best thing to do in Kuching on a clear and sunny Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

\"Pasir<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Well, that wraps up my tips for a few lesser-known things to do in Kuching, through the eyes of a local. \u00a0I hope these tips can help you sort out your travel itinerary no matter how long or short your visit to Kuching is.<\/p>\n
