Auk...

Such a common terms to use while you in Sarawak....AUK, which means Yes. Though we are Malaysian, living in one country but when it comes to states, language speak differs.They have their own "Sarawak slang/language/dialects" which only Sarawakian only can understand and converse.

Went to our regional/market visit to Sarawak, East Malaysia last week. An exciting journey with bunch of 'wacko' teammates. We had deep discussion & fun with the regional people. Benny and his teams accomodate all our needs there. We stayed in Crowne Plaza, in the citycenter where we have easy access to food, shopping and night spots.

Along the way on our market visit, we stop to this one small hut that sells this red colour & peculiar looking fruits. It looks like bunch of flowers called 'Belimbing Hutan', but actually when u ripe it off, the 'isi' looks like mangosteen, skeptical to eat it, so I make sure the rest eat it first..(at least one of the central people didn't died by eating it:-)..) When Herms & Jenny urged me to try out, I took 1 of it and put it into my mouth, and slowly eat it.
Hey, its quite nice, soft & sweet...then I remember the look & taste is similar to 'buah rambai'.


The journey ends at border of Kalimantan. Wow! we reach border of Indonesia actually. After chatting and retrieved some info from the immigrations, we make move as it started to rain heavily. We make a short U-turn inside the border, and waved to the Indonesion military on duty there..Hey, that was the most short overseas trip ever, in only a minutes, hahahahha...

Eatery place we love would be"Taman Kereta". We indulged our seafoods like no one business. Seafood is so damn cheap there, so we keep having our dinner 2nights in a row there! Though im not a crabby person, but i enjoyed my crab there. We ordered grill crab, and it was superb big. Even the claws was the same size with my palm....

Fesa did say that we should try out this seafood rest they went for dept outing. Somewhere is PJ, she said the spider crab there was so damn huge, and can accommodate the whole marcomm team. Doubtful...but must check out for our next segment marketing outings:-) Yumm yumm..

Surprisingly, I did not shop much in Kuching. Maybe there's no nice shoes....But, indeed I enjoy the trip.
