Lepau retaurant

Kuching -  Edmund brought me to this Sarawak unique cuisine and the food is inexpensive and delicious. One of the higher rated restaurants in Kuching.  Rated 4.5 on google.

Lepau restaurant

It is always crowded daily and we had to take a queue, finally a table opened for 2.v. The menu has unique dishes.

Midin with Belacan and garlic

Midin is Sarawak favourite vegetable and this wild fern appears to be resistant to pests and disease. That is why you can see it grow with wild abandon even at the roadside without any proper care.

Stir fried and it was a delicious dish - the stem is tender together with the Belacan made an excellent dish.

Durian with Petai

It was very delicious and unique dish - fermenting the durian and adding petai makes it one of a kind.  Both Durian and Petai smells or stinks but this dish is yummy.   After dinner, my tummy was bloated due to the fermented dishes.

Smoked fish soup

This soup had Terung dayak (hairy-fruited eggplant, a wild fruit native to Sarawak) is cut into crescents and slow-cooked together with ikan salai (a delicious smoked fish found only in Sri Aman, a sleepy town about 180km away from Kuching), ginger and lemongrass.

Calesa around Intramuros

Manila - Together with Albert, we took a calesa (horse drawn carriage used in Philippines) around Intramuros. Albert and Lesley Albert and I Intramuros is the oldest district and historic core of Manila.  The walled part of Manila was called intramuros, which is Latin for "within the walls"; districts beyond the walls are known as extramuros meaning outside the walls.  Construction of the defensive walls was started by the Spaniards in the late 16th century to protect the city from foreign invasions.   Guarding the old city is Fortaiago wich is located at the mouth of the river.

Cheong Guk Jang - fermented bean soup

Seoul - Lunch with Youngjin was at a traditional soup restaurant and it was crowded.   Youngjin asked me many times Cheonggukjang "ok", I said ok not knowing what to expect.  I have tried many weird and smelly good in Seoul, so I was very prepared.   My first time tasting Cheonggukjang and I like it. CheongGukJang 청국장 is fermented soybean soup aka Stinky soup.  Actually, I like fermented food and the smell does not put me off.   I like fermented food because of the many health benefits and also we have them here in Singapore - tempe, belachan, fermented bean curd (which I love with my porridge), chincaluk, etc.. very hot Cheonggukjang  I always buy danjang paste and bring home to make soup.  I understand that they are the same but the difference is Cheonggukjang beans are uncrushed and are fermented for a longer period of time.
