sabah food trip

Exploring Kuching & Sabah was a total blast—think blue skies, sea breezes, and foodie adventures you’ll dream about 🌊🌤️ Top Spots to Visit: 1. Kuching Waterfront (Jalan Main Bazaar, 93000 Kuching, Sarawak) – Chill by the riverside with stellar views of modern architecture and local life. Go at sunset if possible—cloudy or sunny, it’s always a vibe! 2. Sarawak Cultural Village (Pantai Damai, Kuching) – Outdoor cultural shows, heritage homes, and food stalls. Don’t miss the grassland wetlands nearby for nature lovers. 3. The Underrated Gem: Lily Cottage & Kitchen (Jalan Astana, Petra Jaya, Kuching; open 8am-8pm) – My go-to spot for homely, local food far from the tourist crowds. Their cakes and signature dishes are must-tries. 4. Sabah Seafood Fest – If you’re hopping over to Sabah, treat yourself to the freshest aquatic products! Local restaurants serve standout fish, prawns, and clams. I highly recommend asking for "tarap"—a fruit you’ll only find here and totally unforgettable. Pro Tips & Hacks: Getting Around: Use Grab for easy, reliable rides—way better than expensive taxis. Kuching attractions are pretty close, so you won’t break the bank. Weather Wise: Pack an umbrella—cloudy skies turn stormy fast; but when the sun’s out, it’s perfect for outdoor exploring. Food Must-Eats: Don’t leave Sabah without tasting tarap and all the fresh seafood. In Kuching, Lily Cottage & Kitchen is a hidden treat; and always grab a meal at a riverside spot for scenery and local flavor. Extra Tips: Most places take cash, so have enough on hand. ATM access is good, but smaller food stalls may not accept cards. #borneoeats #kuchingtravel #sabahseafood #hiddengems #travelasia
