Kuching, Sarawak - My first impressions of Borneo Malaysia
Arriving in Kuching ➡ • $50 Flight From West T...
I finally made it to Borneo Malaysia, to east Malaysia! I am in Kuching, which is not only the capital of the Sarawak state, but also the biggest town in all of Borneo. Join me as we explore around to get some first impressions. I am curious to find out if Borneo Malaysia feels different than peninsular Malaysia.

Things you should try in Sarawak: 1) Gula Apong Ice Cream 2) Matterhorn (or Metahorn) - A citrussy shaved iced dessert 3) White Lady - Another shaved ice dessert topped with evaporated milk, grenadine syrup, mango syrup, lychee, longans, jellies, and other fruits 4) Kolo Mee - or you can get the halal version, Mee Kolok 5) Fried Midin 6) Mee Belacan 7) Kueh Chap 8) Manicai 9) Ka Chang Ma Chicken 10) Manok or Babi Pansoh - Pork cooked in a bamboo 11) Jani Tunu - Grilled Pork 12) Umai - A type of raw fish or prawn salad, think of sashimi slices covered in different salad ingredients and chilli 13) Sio Bee - Like siew mai but made out of pork, eaten with sweet chilli sauce 14) Kompia - Bread close to the texture of bagels, eaten either dipped in coffee or served with stewed pork/beef in between 15) Lamb Stew Green Noodles - Go to Sin Choong Choon behind Queen Bee Food Paradise, that's the best! 16) Pork Satay 17) Of course, try all the Kek Lapis For Dayak food like Jani Tunu or Babi Pansoh, just look for a Rumah Asap (literally smoke house, but they're more like Dayak food courts). Go try many other Dayak dishes there. Alternatively, look for this restaurant called Pinggai for mixed rice/nasi campur but with Dayak dishes. If you want huge range of choices, especially with Chinese influenced dishes head to Premier 101 or Premier Food Republic. I prefer the former because more choices plus I love the pork satay and deep fried three layer pork. For a huge range of Malay food, head to food courts like Fauziah. Feel free to shoot me any questions!

[@mamamia8163]

Thanks a lot💪😊

Thanks for the info. Coming from KL, I have never heard almost all of the food you have mentioned so I'm looking forward to my trip to Kuching tomorrow.

[@desmondc4419]

It's being great following your youtube travelling Malaysia. Being a Malaysian..I never thought I learn more about my own country places from foreigner instead of Malaysian. Tq to you and all those youtuber in enhancing more info about Malaysia..👍

[@asoookalangleyyy8684]

Welcome to Sarawak Ken! East Malaysia is a tad bit different than those from the peninsular malaysia. For instance, you will find that us in the east are very friendly towards each other with no regards to one's race or religion. We get to drink, eat, sleep and much more with others without us making a fuss. We even invite malays to the gawai festival and we make sure to prepare disposable plates and halal foods for them to chow. The malays would do the same on raya too! Food is also different than those found in peninsular malaysia because we are used to ate different types of dishes prepared by different types of ethnics found here in Sarawak. Id recommend you to try umai (fish sashimi with lime and garlic), kacangma (chicken cooked with herbs and white wine), kolok mee, mi sapi (beef noodle version of the kolok mee), ambuyat (sago flour mixed with hot water) and pansuh (which is chicken/fish/pork/beef cook in bamboo) You will find that there are alot of the people are mixed, meaning that the spouse would belong in a different tribe or religion than the bride. And thus, everyone looks slightly different. It is normal to have a mixed race/religion families here in sarawak. They treat each other with respect towards the others difference's. Also in my opinion, you will notice that alot of sarawakians are able to communicate in simple english. The government stated that English is the 2nd official language and is widely used in the state parliament. As for the common folks, they have been taught at a young age the importance of learning english by their parents. That's why us sarawakians can understand basic english eventhough some of us are not able to communicate well. To be frank, there are alot of differences between us and peninsular malaysia. That's what makes us sarawakian proud of ourselves! I wish you the very best of luck and a safe journey for your roadtrip with The Jetlag Warriors and Dodo Express! Thank you for visiting Sarawak and I hope you will have a wonderful journey visiting every nook and cranny that sarawak has to offer!

[@giannishen]

Thank you for taking us on a tour of Borneo, great job. 👍😃🙌

[@kirklen2067]

Hai ken…short info for you…Sarawak,is home to 29 ethnic groups. With 47 different dialects, each group has their own unique stories, beliefs, traditions and cultures. and some sarawakian can speak more than 3 languanges..

[@MC400351]

Hi Ken, I'm very happy that you visited my town. I currently resides in Ubon, Thailand and you visiting my town help me feel I am home. Try 'Mee Jawa' a special noodle dish that you can try while in Kuching. Enjoy and I'm looking forward for you to visit more places while in Sarawak.

[@helens8935]

Hi Ken! Welcome to Sarawak! 😃 You’ll find a lot of families here are made up of multiple mixed races that you may start to see more ‘blended’ looks/faces. My own family is blended. Sarawak is a state where racial and religious composition is very different from Peninsula Malaysia, even more so than Sabah in some aspects nowadays. As a result, the delicacies, culture, mind set, and languages used have their own flavour. Sarawakians have great pride in our diversity and unity. I’m sure the museum had plenty of information already about various cultures and our history. You’ll also find it more quiet and there are more open spaces. Kuching is the most populated city at 600,000 people. Other cities only have half if not less. Overall, it’s a state bigger than all of Peninsula, but with 10% of Malaysia’s population. Borneo’s biodiversity is one of features not to be missed although some places require a bit of effort to get to. To learn the way of the land, rivers and mountains is essential in appreciating Borneo for what it has to offer :) I hope you’ll enjoy getting to know Sarawak and its people as you journey through the length of the state on your roadtrip with JLW and Dodo. Each town you pass through will have their own story to tell. I’m a fellow northerner like you. I’m from Miri. Looking forward to seeing you around there perhaps. Drive safe!

[@weeeee8232]

Exactly. I am 'blended' as well... 🤣🤣🤣

[@celupbong7835]

I am a "blended west msian" but I am now a naturalised Sarawakian, and yes, there is a huge difference between the people of peninsula msia and Sarawak...proud to call Sarawak my home🌈🤟😇 enjoy your stay in Sarawak🍻🍻

[@chaw294]

Wow, Ken's Borneo Malaysia adventure begins...feeling excited to tag along again. Stunning view of Kuching Riverfront and amazing drone footage. Haha...Ken, you can also find such "interesting" stuff sold in Peninsula Malaysia too. Only men will visit such vendor(s) Good of you to support that vendor by purchasing a bottle of medicated massage oil.

[@cleanenergyinside1921]

Sarawak Laksa is Anthony Bourdain's favorite breakfast meal. He calls it Breakfast of the Gods He always has two bowls when he comes down for breakfast. He brought the Laksa over to New York when he opened his favorite food from around the world over there.

[@ExploreMasSabran]

It's more Lively at Night n more people in Kuching Waterfront especially on Weekend.

[@cityliving-rainforestperson]

Ken, the men selling the drinks can speak the same standard Malay like in West Malaysia because that is our national school's medium of instruction. Our local Malay dialect differs greatly than dialects spoken in West Malaysia. In fact, Sarawak speaks a couple of Malay dialects. The more known Malay dialect is the one spoken widely in the First & parts of Second Divisions (if West Malaysia has states, Sarawak has Divisions (currently 12 Divisions, I am from the Second Divison - administrative town is Betong)). Further northwest towards Miri, the Second Division Malay dialects get a bit thicker. Further up in Miri till Lawas, the Malay dialect spoken is more Bruneian-Kadayan influenced. The non-Malays usually speak standard Malay. 6:00 That old man is peddling some "oil for men" (I'll leave it to others to explain what they are). 😂 What a great find for a first timer to Sarawak, Ken! The Waterfront has some plaques that tells a bit of historical stuff about Sarawak. Across the river, next to the Sarawak Legislative Assembly building is Fort Margherita. Do have a visit and you'll find another historical difference with West Malaysia's history because Sarawak was founded and ruled by Brooke for three generations until the Japanese Occupation. The Rajah Muda's descendant, Jason, was in town running the Fort Margherita and Ranee Museum through his Trust. Not sure if the Chinese Museum is still by the Waterfront but if it still is, it's also another one you can visit. The Borneo Cultures Museum or the museum of Borneo cultures has exhibits mainly from the many indigenous people of Sarawak. Generally, differences as compared to West Malaysia are languages, cultures, history and cuisine. The biggest difference is history... which you have yet to explore (not sure if you noticed it when you visited the Museum).

Also, if you're still here by the end of July, there will be a month-long festival called Kuching Food Festival. Hope you have a wonderful time here!

Kuching was a favourite place on my visit to Borneo. In a previous video you asked for suggestions about places to visit and I intended to mention Damai Peninsular but you met the JetLag Warriors there and I am now too late but at least you have experienced it. There are many changes in Kuching, the bridge to the government building is new and the cultural museum has been rebuilt and the mosque is also a new addition, plenty of reasons to perhaps return one day. Thanks for the wonderful content you continue to provide.

[@AlexSDU]

The new mosque is the new Masjid India(Indian Mosque). The old one is just across the street inside the shop lots. It is now took over by the State Museum as a historical site. Same goes with the Brooke Dockyard next to another mosque not far from this.

Welcome to Sarawak! Remember that our state is really large, so take time to explore it thoroughly! And as our mighty Pan-Borneo highway is still not yet completed, the journey by road will be realllllllly breathtaking. Try it, just be prepared to be astonished. And yeah, tell the Sarawak Tourism Board you're there. Maybe it can help 😅

Finally Ken you trying our Sarawak laksa and the 3 layer tea. The drink has tea, evaporated milk and palm sugar( gula apong). Next mission is to try kolo mee..either the Malay or Chinese version. You should visit the Semenggoh Orang utan conservation park about 10 miles from Kuching.

I’m from Limbang,fifth division in Sarawak thirty minutes drive to Brunei.Live in KL past 26 years.I’ve been to Kuching back in 2016 during my sister graduation at UNIMAS.I tried Borneo Sarawak Laksa,it was the best ❤️ to those who love spicy food and the three layer tea is quite nice. Enjoy Borneo diversity and Have Fun Salute 🙏
