New Taste in BDC A1 Kopitiam

I have to admit that almost every Saturday or Sunday I will visit BDC A1 kopitiam for breakfast although it's no where near Desa Wira, Batu Kawa... This is because I have always think that they serve the best Popiah, best Kueh Chap and best & only half cooked egg Cha Kueh (by request) in Kuching. The Kolo Mee is not bad at all. All these food might not be the best for others but it definitely suits my taste buds well.

Me and couple good friends first dined there back in 2007 because Brian's dad sells 'Cha Kueh', fried yam cake there and Brian intoduces half cooked egg Cha Kueh which has became my all time favourite since then.

.:Cha Kueh:.

Yesterday, I went with dad and realized that the Roti Canai stall has changed people. Thank God coz the previous 2 stall operator's Roti Canai sux and a better taste Roti Canai can encourage dad to join me for breakfast in A1 more coz he loves Murtabak. After trying the Sardin Murtabak 'RM4.00' (although dad prefers Lamb Murtabak more, it's not in the menu), it's not bad at all. So I guess, there's good chance that we will be ordering roti canai in A1 in the next trip.

The Poolside Xmas Party

We had a casual office gathering on 17th December with gift exchange at Upper Sanctuary Poolside. Everyone chipped in some money for the food and we came out with some western dishes as shown in the photos below. Overall, it was a relaxing Saturday instead of a Crazy Party. We enjoyed ourselves with little chit chat session off work and some work related matters which was totally unavoided since we all spent most of our times at work. I love little activities like this as it bonds the relationship between colleagues and friends. :)

Skype moment with Ba'kelalan

Ba'kelalan is a remote area in the Heart of Borneo where the 'Lun Bawang' a local etnic group stays. The flight to Ba'kelalan is only 3 times a week on a twin otter by MasWing. It is a nice and cool place to visit if you are into the nature and to learn more about the culture of the people there. More about Ba'kelalan, please visit HERE.

I was there back in June and blogged about the place as well http://aliciaks.blogspot.com/2011/06/mama-hen-baby-ducklings.html

UNIMAS, the local university in Sarawak has a project there on tele-centre to help the local communities to be connected to the world. As I made good friends there, I had the first skype session with 2 of the community leaders there. The village head and area chieftain of the village. It was short and sweet but we were all very happy to see each other online. The most memorable question was 'Where are you now?' I guess that was to confirm that I was really in Kuching and not nearby. 

It was indeed a historical moment in life.
