Night walk along the Kuching Waterfront

Kuching - It is generally safe to walk at night in Kuching.  As tomorrow is the start of the Muslim holiday - there as an air of festivities along the Waterfront.  Fireworks and water show along the promenade and crowds gathered around to watch.

Water and light show

Kuching Waterfront, spread across 900 metres along the southern bank of Sarawak River, is the most iconic place in Kuching. The waterfront is lined with hotels, restaurants, souvenir shops, entertainment areas and various historically significant buildings making it one of the most popular attractions

Along the Waterfront 

I walked into Plaza Medeka Mall and it was crowded.  Sat down at a Soya Bean stall for a cold desert.

Takeaway 

As the stall is closing, they were only allowed to serve takeaways but you are able to sit down and have this desert.  This silky Soya Bean was filled to the brim and had 3 different toppings of my choosing - red bean, tapioca and grass jelly.  On the right is Soya bean water which I poured into the Soya bean.  On the right is Gula Apong (Nipah Palm sugar).

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.
