First trip to Kuching

 Kuching - Woke up early at 7am and ready for my trip to Kuching.  Today has many firsts - First time departing from Terminal 4 and first time to Kuching.

I was pleasantly surprise with Terminal 4 - I had a preconceive image of a budget terminal but in fact it looks beautiful and modern.   T4 even has a SATS lounge and it was nice to relaxed there till boarding.

nice and beautiful seating around T4

It was a short flight from Singapore to Kuching.  On the flight over, an old lady seating next to me on the aisle was coughing and spitting into the seat paper bag.  It was so disgusting but I had my mask on all the way till landed.

My air ticket was cheap @ SGD100 carry on luggage only - so it was fast and I was on the grab to the hotel in under 30 minutes.   Met up with Edmund - and he had to rush for a meeting.

I was feeling hungry and there was a mall across the street.  It was a big mall and there were not many people.  The food court is on the 2nd floor and had chicken rice and it was very good.

Excellent taste, very tender chicken and the rice is very fragrant.   I ordered bobo chacha and it was not good - the soup was watery with no coconut used in this desert. The sight of it looks not appetising and I just ate the sweet potato and yam only.  The soup tasted bland.

MPH

Kuching still has MPH stores.  In Singapore, the last MPH store closed on 1st September 2019.
