Jika anda berkunjung di Kuching Sarawak pasti anda ingin menikmati makanan yang lazat serta popular di bumi kenyalang. Anda juga ingin menikmatinya ditempat yang menarik dan dikunjungi ramai. Oleh itu saya memperkenalkan 5 tempat yang saya gemari dan pasti menarik.

1. SATAY CHEKO KAFE

Kafe ini menghidangkan satay sebagai menu utama. Ianya juga menawarkan mee jawa sebagai menu yang popular. Menarik disini ialah mee jawa disertakan juga bersama satay . Anda juga boleh makan satay bersama dengan ketupat atau lemang. Cukup enak sekali dan lazat. Yang unik makan disini ialah tempat duduk atau kerusi agak rendah dan meja seperti kita duduk dengan bangku. Seperkara lagi anda boleh mengambil atau makan seberapa banyak yang dibuat self service, tapi sewaktu membayar, tuan kedai akan mengira berapa banyak satay yang telah dimakan dengan mengira cucuk satay di atas meja anda!.

Selain dari satay antara hidangan lain ialah nasi campur, nasi ayam penyet dan lain lain. Kafe satay cheko terletak diJalan Haji Taha dibelakang Am bank. Jika anda berjalan kaki dari padang merdeka akan mengambil masa kira kira 20minit.

Tempat ini adalah paling ramai dikunjungi pelanggan pada sebelah pagi untuk bersarapan. Ini disebabkan banyak pilihan menu sarapan. Antaranya ialah mee jawa, mee kolok, mee laksa, satay, roti canai dan roti lain lain dan juga nasi campur. Kopi O korner terletak di bangunan Mara iaitu di hadapan Bank Negara di jalan Satok.Tempat ini selalunya dipenuhi pada sebelah pagi tapi dijamin anda ada tempat duduk kerana banyak disediakan dan selesa. Jadi jangan lepaskan peluang untuk menikmati sarapan pagi disini bila berkunjung ke Kuching.

3. Laksa Tinot.

Laksa Tinot adalah antara yang diminati kerana keenakan dan keunikan tempatnya. Terletak disebuah rumah kampung yang diubahsuai oleh pemiliknya menjadi gerai laksa. Ruang makan ditempat dilaman rumah yang dikelilingi dengan tanaman pokok bunga yang segar dan nyaman diwaktu pagi. Ianya terletak di Jalan Patingan. Anda perlu menaiki kereta untuk ke sini iaitu kira kira 15 minit perjalanan dari bandaraya Kuching.

4. RJ Ayam Bakar

Terletak di jalan Tun Abdul Rahman, kira kira 5 minit perjalanan dari kawasan segitiga emas Kuching " Gold Triangle" restoran ini sangat menjadi keutamaan pengunjung yang menginap di kawasan sekitar.

Selain dari nasi ayam outlet ini juga menyediakan menu lain seperti nasi goreng, ikan tilapia goreng, midin belacan, me kolok dan banyak lagi. kunjungi disini bersama keluarga anda dan anda pasti berseronok dan berpuas hati.  

HOT SPRING KUCHING

KUCHING: A hot spring kept secret for 250 years by early settlers in Annah Rais longhouse is open to the public.

The early settlers regarded it as a holy place to seek blessings and cures for sickness.

Annah Rais Hot Spring is a natural feature caused by underground water being heated by geothermal forces and brought to the surface, where it empties its hot water into Sungai Semadang, more commonly known as Sungai Sarawak Kiri.

Both hot spring and cool river can be enjoyed at an entrance fee of RM5 per head.

I turned up at this site one bright Sunday afternoon around 3pm.

While I was descending the steps, a scenic river with lush bamboo groves growing on both banks came into view.

Small fishes swam in the pristine clear water, and tiny bubbles of gas were intermittently released from the pebbly riverbed.

Two pools – one bigger than the other – are located on the other side of the river. The poolside is fashioned from cement made to look like granite slabs.

The pools collecting hot water diffusing from underground were constructed on Jan 12 this year, according to the inscription on one of them.

Visitors were seen sitting around the bigger pool, dangling their legs in Nature’s hot tub.

They were mostly locals though a few foreign tourists from Kampung Annah Rais homestay had found their way here.

The proximity of the hot spring to the river allows visitors to gravitate between soaking in hot and cold water.

Alternate dunking in hot and cold water is believed to dilate and constrict blood vessels in turn, stimulating an otherwise sluggish circulation.

For instance, a swollen injured ankle alternately dipped in bearably hot and icy cold water, as per doctor’s recommendation, has been known to be efficacious in reducing the swelling if all else has failed.

Since ancient times, soaking in a hot mineral spring has been a form of hydrotherapy to treat disease, injuries and improve health.

Doctors acknowledge the therapeutic benefits of moist heat. Soaking in hot water can speed up healing and relieve pain caused by some types of arthritis and short-term injuries.

A warm soak relaxes muscles, soothing the body and reduces stress. It’s good for arthritis, psoriasis and insomnia.

A regular visitor at Annah Rais hot spring said the hot water had softened the hardened fat located below the back of his neck.

A woman claimed it was effective in relieving her muscle spasms and a young man said it helped him de-stress.

According to health experts, pregnant women and people with diabetes, high blood pressure or cardiovascular disease should not soak in hot water in case it provokes health problems for them. And to avoid infection by protozoa that inhabit some hot springs, avoid being submerged so the water does not go up the nose.

Temperatures can be as high as 70C in hot springs and some may reach boiling point. Immersion in extremely hot water can prove fatal very quickly. Therefore, a little dilution with cooler surface water may be needed.

The water in the Annah Rais hot tub felt too hot that day so the channels were cleared of debris by one of the visitors while another poured cold water from the river into the bigger pool to bring down its temperature. This enabled all of us to soak in the still steaming water.

To cool off, we sat on the pebbly riverbed, and felt the warm sand heated by the hot spring below. We could feel tiny jets of hot water moving upwards  before having their heat dispersed by cold currents in the river.

A few outdoor showers and changing rooms complete the basic facilities at the site.

To get there, drive from the 10th Mile Old Penrissen Road – also known as Jalan Puncak Borneo – to Annah Rais longhouse where you cross a Bailey bridge, then a one-km stretch of gravel road before coming to another Bailey bridge.

Cross it and look out on the right for a wooden building with a signboard saying, ‘Welcome to Annah Rais Hot Spring’.

Its cold in Kuching

For the past 2-3 weeks, heavy rain came down to Kuching almost every day. It gives some natural cold and wet to the city. Kuching has become so very romantic place for everybody especially to lovers. Last November 11th was the special moment for my friend as they have changed the wedding ring and become husband and wife. Wishing them a very happy and prosperous for the rest of their life.
Everywhere you go, never forget to bring umbrellas, im talking about bigger umbrella as most of the time the rain are as heavy as the waterfall and soaking you wet like you have been drown in the Sarawak River. We love to see couples, father and mother, sons and daughter squizzing themselves in a tiny umbrella hoping that they are protected and keep themselves dry. It is not the case because most of them cant help but definitely wet and cold. Couples squeezed and hugging each other to protect each other from rains. people prefer to wear jacket or sweater when most of the time they just wear singlet, tees and short.

I love wet season because this is the sign of end of the year and of course christmas and new year is coming very soon. It means every shopping complexes are decorated with nice beautiful christmas trees and lots of boxes filled with gift. Everybody seems so happy in their faces, kids finish their school and begin with holidays with family and friends. Women start to dig their wallet as Year End Sales has begun and men preparing anything they can for themselves. I remember when i was a kid, end of the year means we were keeping our study books aside and i could stay up late at night and could go out with friends having our good time chatting until late at nite, without being asked by our parents.
Many great things happen,

kuching @malam

Sekarang sudah pukul 6.30 petang. kami meneruskan kembara kami bersiar siar di bandaraya Kuching. menikmati pemandangan dan mengamati perjalanan hidup penduduk di sekitar bandar kuching. Begitu perlahan dan tenang sekali. Itulah yang dapat kami rasai. Selepas mengunjungi pasar Satok kami berjalan melalui jalan Haji Taha menuju ke masjid Bahagian Kuching. Kami berehat sebentar di masjid Bahagian Kuching untuk menunaikan solat maghrib. Jemaah pada waktu itu terdiri dari orang tempatan dan orang luar iaitu pelawat dari semenanjung malaysia. Ada juga kelihatan jemaah dari indonesia dan Bangladesh yang kemungkinan adalah pekerja asing yang berkerja di bandaraya Kuching. Selesai bersolat kami bercadang untuk mencari tempat untuk menikmati makan malam. Kebetulan sekitar masjid iaitu dibahagian kaki bukit masjid (masjid terletak di atas bukit yang dikelilingi oleh kubur lama) terdapat banyak tempat makan.Sedang mencari kami menjumpai 3 tempat iaitu satu di dalam kawasan hotel dikenali Arif Hotel, Pondok Anis dan satu lagi Lot 1. Ketiga tiga tempat ini dikunjungi ramai dan memang terdapat banyak hidangan. Kami memilih Pondok Anis kerana ianya agak baru dan baru juga dibuka serta selesa dan bersih. Maka kami pun menikmati hidangan nasi ayam penyet yang agak popular dibandaraya Kuching ini. Selesai menikmati makan malam kami bergegas untuk balik hotel yang terletak dalam perjalanan lebih kurang 20 minit berjalan kaki. Kami melalui jalan sepanjang tebingan sungai atau water front. Keindahan amat menyenangkan ditambah dengan kesejukan angin sebelah malam. Banyak aktiviti berlaku disepanjang laluan kami. Ramai yang berjalan jalan dengan keluarga, rakan rakan dan ada juga kelihatan remaja duduk serta memerhati kereta yang diubahsuai milik kalangan mereka. Pengunjung atau pelawat asing lebih ramai berbanding penduduk tempatan pada pemerhatian kami. Sejenak kami di sapa oleh penjual kuih lapis yang menawarkan kek lapis sarawak yang sangat popular. Di satu tempat berhadapan dengan mahkamah lama, kelihatan penjual permainan seumpama lastik yang ada lampu berwarna warni. Tempat ini dibiarkan gelap namun menjadi tarikan menarik kerana alat mainan yang berwarna warni lampunya banyak di dapati disini. Kami agak beginilah orang tempatan meluangkan masa dengan anak anak kecil mereka. Walaupun gelap tetapi menjadi tarikan dan mampu  mencadi punca pendapatan kepada anak muda yang menjual mainan tadi. Amat menarik dan unik.
Tebingan sungai yang sepanjang 5 kilometer ini menjadi produk pelancongan di Kuching kerana kebersihan sungai Sarawak dan pelbagai aktiviti yang berlaku disepanjangnya. Terdapat gerai gerai menjual air minuman. makanan, cenderahati seperti manik gelang dan t shirt. Hiasan lampu pada waktu malam menambah lagi keseronokan kami.
Setelah penat berjalan kaki lebih kurang 30 minit kami sampai di hotel kami yang terletak di tengah bandaraya Kuching. Dihadapan kami terdapat mercu bandaraya kuching iaitu monumen kucing. Memang menarik tetapi yang peliknya kami tidak menjumpai kucing liar sepanjang kami berada disini.
Apapun kami sangat seronok mengunjungi Kuching. Mungkin kerana tanpa kesesakan tanpa jalan, orang ramai yang peramah, bersih dan juga barangan menarik yang tidak diperolehi ditempat lain.
Esok hari kami akan ke kampung budaya sarawak dan sehingga bertemu lagi..   

Kampung Staas Bau: Hidden wonders

Kampung Staas Bau is a Bidayuh Village located about 45 kilometer from town of Kuching Sarawak. I got opportunity to visit this beautiful village when i join a group of surveyor for a project there. The community mainly from the Bidayuh ethnic Sarawak live in a modern but natural environment lifestyle in peace and harmony. As you can see from the photo taken i guest this is the gift from the rainforest.

Sungai Aur - Perjalanan Balik Sebelum Merdeka

Kampung Sungai Aur, terletak kira kira 15 minit perjalanan melalui sungai dari jeti Telaga Air iaitu terletak kira kira 25 kilometer dari  bandaraya Kuching. Kehadiran kami seramai 5 orang memenuhi tugasan sebagai pengumpul maklumat bagi projek pemasangan bekalan elektrik di kampung tersebut. Kampung telah di diami penduduk selama 20 tahun. Melihat keadaan dengan mata sendiri adalah memberi makna bahawa penduduk ini telah dipinggirkan dari arus pembangunan walaupun telah 50 tahun merdeka di dalam Malaysia.

Namun mereka tetap bersyukur dan terus menanti dengan sabar bahawa suatu hari nanti nasib mereka akan terbela.

5 Idea Hebat untuk berniaga di Water Front Kuching.

Sekadar Hiasan

Berkunjung ke Kuching Sarawak, pasti tidak ketinggalan menikmati suasana di Water Front atau Tebingan Sungai Kuching. Ia adalah satu tempat menarik sebagai produk pelancongan paling popular di Kuching. Terletak di sepanjang Sungai Sarawak di pusat bandaraya ialah tempat yang  sudah semestinya untuk dikunjungi oleh pelancong samada untuk bersiar siar atau menjamu selera.  Ia menerima kunjungan hampir sepanjang masa dari pagi sehingga ke sebelah malam. Oleh yang demikian ia adalah tempat yang sesuai untuk peniaga sambilan atau sepenuh masa mempromosi produk jualan mereka. Bagi menambah tarikan dan mempelbagai lagi aktiviti serta produk pelancongan , saya mencadangkan beberapa idea yang hebat untuk diterokai disana.

1. Perkhidmatan mengambil foto 

Anda boleh menawarkan khidmat mengambil gambar kepada pengunjung. Untuk lebih menarik anda menawarkan mereka bergambar bersama dengan haiwan eksotik seperti ular sawa, orang utan, buaya atau pun burung kenyalang. (Minta permit dulu ya!!) Ini pasti menarik pengunjung dan tawarkan dengan harga yang berpatutan. Anda juga boleh menawarkan mereka mengambil gambar dengan memakai baju tradisional Sarawak seperti baju Orang Ulu, baju Pahlawan Iban atau baju Orang Melayu Sarawak. Pasti menarik jika mereka baru saja berkahwin dan mengabadikan lawatan mereka dengan bergambar memakai baju pahlawan Iban. 

Sekadar hiasan

 2. Perkhidmatan Mencetak Baju 

Setiap kali melancong, pasti akan membeli cenderahati untuk dibawa pulang. Maka kebanyakan akan membeli baju dari seseuatu tempat yang mereka kunjung. Apa kata peniaga menawarkan  T shirt yang dicetak mengikut  citarasa pembeli. Anda boleh menyediakan rekaan yang terhad sahaja dan ianya merujuk kepada Sarawak atau Water Front atau Kuching. Idea ini juga boleh dibuat secara pukal. Maka rekaan juga akan banyak dan pelbagai.

3.Basking/ Menyanyi bersama alat muzik.

Pasti idea ini sangat hebat serta menarik minta penggemar muzik. Malah ia pasti menghiburkan kepada sesiapa saja. Selain dari itu pemuzik sambilan boleh mengembangkan bakat mereka di sini. Jika perlu dapatkan permit dari pada pengurusan Water Front. 
 

4. Berkayak

Berkayak adalah aktiviti yang mempunyai penggemar yang ramai. Maka apa kata anda mencari kayak yang boleh disewakan kepada pelawat. Atau pun anda membawa mereka menikmati  sungai dengan menaiki kayak di sebelah petang.

5.Menyewa Basikal/Beca/Kerusi Roda

Sekadar hiasan

Tidak semua pengunjung mahu berjalan kaki ataupun mungkin yang agak malas dan tidak mempunyai banyak masa untuk bersiar siar. Maka sediakan perkhidmatan menyewa basikal atau beca atau basikal roda tiga kepada mereka dengan harga yang berpatutan. Mungkin juga dicadangkan kerusi roda beserta tukang sorong. Idea yang menarik bukan? 

Kepada sesiapa boleh mencuba idea dari kizzoman ini dan mana tahu anda berjaya dengan percubaan anda..
