Taking pictures (unprofessionally like me) is easy. A digital camera in hand and snap snap snap… not all came up clear though. But a few out of the hundreds landed up in this blog. Every pictures have its own story to tell.
Often when I browse through my pictures especially taken of human face, I’d wonder about the life of these people. Where they come from… how have their lives been… through their eyes what have they seen… what have they been through to get here today.
“There was never yet an uninteresting life. Such a thing is an impossibility. Inside of the dullest exterior there is a drama, a comedy and a tragedy”
- Mark Twain
You’ve read in my previous entry about lekor (fried fish cakes). Now I give you a better pictures of what is lekor, our famous local snack.
The above picture showed the cylindrical shape lekor after it has been boiled. It looks like keropok (prawn crackers) before it being sliced, dried and deep fried. For lekor recipe, knead the fish meat into sago flour, salt, pepper then boil until it’s cooked. Then cut into pieces and deep fried.
Dip in chilli sauce and pop into your mouth! 
Fast food in Kuching doesn’t mean McDonald or KFC. It means a buffet of home cook dishes where you can pick what you want onto your plate of rice.
This Malay fast food stall I went to this afternoon is at 7th mile. So much to choose from, I wanted to try everything!
Finally I ended up with sambal pineapple, lady finger (okra), petai and jellyfish on my plate. ALL my favourite food!!
The jellyfish was seasoned with big onion, lime juice and chilli.
Padungan is sort of like China town in Kuching. You’ll find shops selling spare-parts, flowers, fruits, steam buns, sundry shops, etc. But when night falls you’ll see neon lights, bright signs inviting you to their hip cafes, western/fusion food restaurants. A place to hang-out for the younger generations.
That’s life in Kuching, a street of old buildings can cater to both green and golden generations!
I do have other love of life beside food
One of those “can’t-take-my-eyes-off-it” sunsets in Kuching. Pictures taken along Tabuan Road few days ago.
