Since the kids have more vacation time than Erik and Jenne I decided to explore Kuching, Malaysia on Borneo with the kids before Erik and Jenne could join us in Kuala Lumpur.
To our joy, right on the waterfront in Kuching was a food cart selling Pearl Tea (Bubble tea). The kids were so happy, we haven't had bubble tea since the summer of 2008 and the price was right.
We visited the Pearl Tea cart once or twice a day, every day, for the week we were there.
Next big find? Steamed buns, preferably BBQ Pork but we tried several varieties, available everywhere and not available at all in Bangalore.

As night fell out came these little butter cakes flavored by all sorts of fruit essences...
...we ended up buying a watermelon one.
Dinner! With Klasik Rut Bir! Mmmm!
Auggie was happy to see hot dog on the menu.
And it was delicious!
Annika ordered a plain hamburger
And was surprised to see little sardine faces smiling back at her after her first bite. Luckily Auggie's hot dog was HUGE and fed them both well.
With my meal I wanted something local so I didn't mind the pile of sardines looking up at me.

Walk to the feeding platform - wild Orangutans, proceed at your own risk! Yikes!

just wanted to say those aren't sardines! they're "ikan bilis", like anchovies!
