Dinner with Jacob!
After the river cruise we hopped back into the rental car and drove a distance away to Wang Seng Seafood for dinner with Brendan's old roommate from college. We first met Jacob when Brendan first registered as a freshman with Cempaka College in UNIMAS, way back in September 2019.
Midway through the second semester UNIMAS along with the nation went into lockdown, and we have not met Jacob since, even missing him during Brendan's convocation ceremony last November.
So when we met with Jacob at Wang Seng Seafood they had a lot of catching to do, so while they reminisced about old times we perused the menu and eventually settled on:
- the Butter Mushroom (at Jacob’s recommendation)
- Charcoal Crispy Pork Belly
- Assorted Vegetables in Yam Basket
- Lemongrass Fried Pork
- Midin Belacan
- Deep Fried Squid
- 4 White Rice
- 1 Iced Lemon Tea
- 2 Air Mata Kuching Longan Drink
- 2 Coca Cola
Our first proper dinner in Kuching came to RM167.70 (approximately USD35/EUR33), and it was again an experience not to be missed especially when dining with old acquaintances. Jacob was disappointed that we would not be staying on till Gawai since he was excited to show us around the most important festival of the year for the Ibans, even eclipsing Christmas!
We then bade our fond farewell with a promise to try to come back for next year's Gawai, then headed back to Adelyn's homestay for settle in for the night.
Stay tuned for our next video where we hoped to try our luck again with authentic Bario cuisine for lunch!
