Kota Samarahan!
Kuching is notorious for its Monday morning traffic jam especially to and from Kota Samarahan. With this in mind we had booked a night's stay at My Inn Hotel right beside UNIMAS. That way we were assured of reaching UNIMAS for Brendan's graduation ceremony tomorrow morning without delay.
So at lunchtime we took a drive to Kota Samarahan. We checked into My Inn Hotel at 2:00pm:
- Brendan's single room as well as our double room cost RM163.40 (approximately USD36/EUR36)
- additionally a deposit of RM50.00 (approximately USD11/EUR10) was required for each room.
We then deposited our bags into our rooms and headed out again.
We asked the front desk person if she had any recommendations for local Dayak cuisine, but she said the most eateries are closed on the Sabbath day.
So we headed out in their general vicinity of Desa Ilmu near Aiman Mall and eventually ended up at an Indonesian restaurant called Unplugged Coffee.
After a quick scan of them menu and after being guided by the waiter who informed us most dishes were not available on a Sunday we settled on:
- Nasi Lemak with Fried Chicken
- Nasi Lemak with Squid Sambal
- Chicken Chop
- and a variety of drinks
Our late lunch came to RM44.00 (approximately USD/EUR9).
We then drove back to the hotel and rested for bit while waiting for the weather to cool, since Brendan wanted me to take some photos of him in is graduation garb at several iconic locations within UNIMAS.
Do check out our next video for coverage of the photography session!
