Around The Land of Hornbill in 6 Days - Part 1

Last week, we went to Sarawak i.e. Bintulu, Miri and Kuching (to be specific). Terima kasih kepada Tok Ser, Tok Amah, Uncle Allan atas tajaan penginapan, makanan, pengangkutan dan layanan di sepanjang kunjungan kami ke Bintulu.

1st Day

Tok Amah and Uncle Allan fetched us at Bintulu Airport. We noticed that jalanraya di Bintulu tidak rata sebab banyak kenderaan berat like lorry carrying cargo guna jalan di sana. That's explain why thera are lots of 4WD cars in Bintulu. After having lunch and a quick nap, we went to Pantai Tg Batu...(tempat tengok anak bulan). We had Rojak Buah, Sotong Kangkung and Sate. Yummy... Malam kami makan di rumah sahaja... Tok Amah masak sup ikan, ayam masak merah and salad....nyum nyum...

2nd Day

We officially met Tok Ser during breakfast. Semalam tak sempat jumpa dia sebab he was attending dinner with client. Kami dah lena waktu Tok Ser balik rumah. We had breakfast laksa sarawak dekat Refah Cafe di Bintulu town. Then, Tok Amah brought us jalan-jalan kat Pasar Tamu Bintulu, New World Mall and Kampung Melayu Bintulu. Petang, Tok Amah and Uncle Allan bawa kami ke office Tok Ser di Bintulu Port. Seronok tengok operasi pelabuhan from the view point. We can see how the crane carried the cargo from ship and put them on the ground. Malam, we had dinner dekat cafe 24-hour di hadapan Sungai Bintulu.

3rd Day

We went to Miri to visit Uncle Iwan dekat Kolej Tun Datu Tuanku Haji Bujang. The journey took 2 1/2 hours from Bintulu using the coastal road. Di sepanjang jalan kami melalui Gua Niah, pekan-pekan kecil orang-orang ulu, gerai-gerai buah dan kerepek dan ladang kelapa sawit. Jalanraya agak sunyi...not to mention the road condition was terrible but still tolerable. Sampai di Miri, kami solat di masjid dan jalan-jalan di Imperial Mall. After that, we went to visit Uncle Iwan. His school is under massive construction, kesian budak2 tu. Kami kena segera balik ke Bintulu sebelum gelap sebab jalan raya Bintulu-Miri tiada lampu jalan. Waktu petang juga banyak burung terbang rendah pulang ke sarang. So, kena elak dari langgar burung-burung tu.

Malam, kami makan kat Kelab Kidurong. We had daging rusa and midin (kinda paku pakis) for the first time. Nyum Nyum...
