Pasar Utama Bintulu

Pasar Utama Bintulu is a walking distance from where we stayed, Kemena Plaza Hotel.

Pasar Tamu Bintulu is located right next to the Pasar Utama.  This is where you can find all kind of local jungle produce.

 Bamboo for cooking pansuh or lemang.

 The very famous Bintulu belacan, my belacan-expert-friend told me that Bintulu belacan has a stronger smell (fragrant) compare to Miri belacan.  Me, I like them both, as long as it looks a bit pinkish, not too dark brown.

 

Durian

 Buah keranji

 Buah rambai - buah ni lebih masam dari buah langsat, nak makan pun ada cara tersendiri, saya kurang minat.

 Bertih beras - poprice

 Local veggie, and petai - a local jungle produce.

 Items for Iban ritual ceremony - mini ketupat for Miring ceremony.

Catching the sunset at Santubong Wetlands

From the Proboscis area, our boat driver put on the full speed for us the catch the sunset.

At Kampung Salak area..

At open sea..

The view is breathtaking!

Proboscis Monkey at Santubong Wetlands

Here I just want to share with you the photos of the proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus) or long-nosed monkey that I captured last month during our trips to Santubong Wetlands.

These photos were taken using my point and shoot Sony camera, nothing fancy, no DSLR, no super zoom and no editing done; just resizing and water-marking only.

Enjoice...

 

  
I will share the itinerary in another post when I have the time to complete it..

*Best time to see this Proboscis monkey is around 5pm, this is the time when they are hungry and get to these trees for the young leaves.

Lada Krabi Residence

Cheap, clean, spacious room, great location, free unlimited user Wifi, these are the reasons we choose this hotel.

Pineapples in my backyard

I planted these pineapples in my backyard almost a year ago.

These are totally organic, I never bother to take care of them, not even watering.  Pineapples are seriously easy to grow..haha

Pineapple #1

Pineapple #2

 Finally, I can taste my own grown pineapples soon!

Melaka River Cruise

We hopped on the river cruise at 9:30pm, and the final one leaves at 11:30pm.

The ride was alright, though the water was a bit smelly, which slightly dampened the experience.

I think the best time to take this cruise would be during sunset. The soft, golden light reflecting off the water and the city skyline would create a much better illustration.

 

Fare is at RM10 for adults and RM5 for children, applicable for Malaysians with MyCard.

The fare is higher for foreigners.

Pokok Melaka

Ini ialah Pokok Melaka.

Tapi ini bukanlah pokok yang menghasilkan gula Melaka.

Pokok ni ada menghasilkan buah yang sesuai dibuat jeruk.

*Photos were taken at Puri Hotel, Melaka

Mount Hosanna Jesus Prayer Chapel

Mount Hosanna Jesus Prayer Chapel is about half an hour drive from Sri Aman town, you will pass by this Chapel on your way if you are travelling from Kuching to Sri Aman like we do.

We make a quick stop here just to admire the beauty of this place.

The Chapel only opens on Sunday.

This Catholic Chapel has a very interesting history. You can google about it.

Some called it the Healing Church, some said that the Holy Water has some kind of superpower.

  

I believe them all.

But most of all, I just love the design, simple yet meaningful.

I make sure I have a glimpse of it every time I travel along Kuching-Sri Aman road.

Bukit Beruang, Melaka

Bukit Beruang; suatu ketika dahulu pernah menjadi tempat persinggahan dalam perjalanan hidup ku.

Banyak juga kenangan pahit manis di sini.

At the beginning, kehadiranku di situ bukan lah atas pilihan ku sendiri - takdir menentu segala.

Walaupun bukan atas kemahuan ku, tapi daku pernah bahagia di sini, tempat nie memang best, terutama sekali bab makan..yummy.

Mari kita mengimbas kembali...

Wantan Mee

 Chicken Rice

Dan..rumah yang menjadi perlindungan buat daku dan kawan-kawan seperjuangan..

Apa lagi yang best?!

Pasal malam (pasar petang), memang macam-macam ada, buah mangga apple yang murah dan sedap. Durian - dulu ada yang RM1 je 1 biji, cukup-cukup untuk sorang makan.

Kesimpulan nyer, di mana ada makanan sedap, di situ saya akan rasa bahagia..cheers.
