Just shots

These are just some shots the surroundings, I procrastinated a little on the posting.

The Sago worm experience

Most of us are disgusted by the creepy crawlies that are around us, in some parts of the world it is consider food or delicacy. Right here in Sarawak, our local delicacy the Sago worm. I have been hearing about it, never actually seen the real thing before. A friend who bought some cooked sago worms back from Mukah, an opportunity not to be missed. The worm actually tasted pretty much like meat jerky or ba kua(those meat you eat during Chinese new year). Pretty good, no need to get freaked out. It actually taste quite nice, it is rich in protein as I heard.

Njoy The Beach

A couple of weeks back I attended Njoy the beach party at luak esplanade, great music by great DJs. If you missed out on the previous one, do not worry about it. Because this Saturday night is the Enjoy the beach party 2 at Luak esplanade from 05:30pm onwards till late, why you may ask? if you like music and the beach, it is definitely a place to go and a good place to meet people and to dance under the stars with the sea breeze.

Happy birthday Miri

Last month on the 20th of May, it was the day Miri the town was declared a city. The city council organized a couple of activities for the celebration, one of it includes the fireworks. I thought the pyro makers are getting more and more creative this days, like how they make the Olympic ring fireworks. They actually make a love shape firework, how cool is that?

Party tonight

Since tomorrow and Tuesday is Gawai (harvest festival) there is nothing to do? Since I am not doing anything tonight and I feel like going to the beach tonight. Tonight, Njoy:The Beach. a beach party session with 5 DJs from miri and Brunei at The Luak Esplanade on 31.05.2009 from 5:00pm onwards till late. The best part that it's FREE, no tickets, no cover charge. If you are thirsty, there are stalls selling drinks. See you guys tonight and please do not overdress, you are not attending a cocktail party. It is a beach party, remember.

Cheers

Miri Jazz Festival Part 2

It's the part two of the jazz festival, after the Bombay Baja brass band performed it was time for John Kaizan from Japan. He is not Japanese though, but he has been living there for long time. Most of the band members are from different continents around the world, while one is Japanese. I find their music much more suitable for the rainforest instead of the Jazz, but it does have minor jazz tunes in it. After that it was time for crazy photos, the photos that really cannot make it at all.

Last performance of the night, Alamode who came all the way from down under Sydney Australia. I love the performance and the music from this band, a six piece jazz funk powerhouse has definitely kept the crowd entertained and wanting more from them.

stay tune for part 3.

Bintulu Busines trip

Last month I was at Bintulu for a business trip, I did not really went around to explore the place since I was tied up with work. However, there is always time for food right? I had my lunch at the coffee house where I stayed, Imperial suites Bintulu.

I love the satled fish fried rice, it is one of the best fried rice I had. The usual fried rice is always sticky and mashed up, but this one the rice is not mashed and not sticky. That is how fried rice should be, unlike the ones here *ugh*

The squid was crispy and sweet, I like after taste of this dish. I do notice a lot of eating outlet uses salted egg to create new recipes. The rest of the food was nice, too bad the fried rice here is not as good as the one there.
