Malaysia, Penang.

A tropical city that can leave a warm and beautiful impression on people at first sight is fresh, quiet and peaceful. The authentic traditional Chinese culture is intertwined with local customs, which is neither strange nor fresh.

The entire city is hidden among the green trees and flowers, with birds singing everywhere, and it is known as "forest capital". Kuching means "cat" in the Malay word, so Kuching, also known as Cat City, is located here.

Fresh urban experience, long-lost South China style; thorough ecosystem; authentic indigenous style; shocking coastal scenery; rare star animals; rare tropical plants; coveted seafood feast, authentic traditional delicacies; anything is deeply attracted by countless tourists.

This is the oldest city in East Malaysia. The city has a blend of old and new buildings, and the coexistence of diverse cultures. The unique one-city, two systems are divided by the Sarawak River. The North City is managed by the Malays and the South City is managed by the Chinese. This adds some mystery to the city.

Being here seems to travel to a distant era, the rings of the times stay here, and every place is extremely peaceful and quiet. Animals and plants live happily in the primitive tropical rainforest. Return to nature, escape from the world, and enjoy pure freedom.

Walking on the streets, I was once ruled by British colonial rule, so no matter architecture, language, customs, etc., there are many traces of British colonial rule. At the same time, the kitten sculptures that can be seen everywhere also form a beautiful landscape. Looking for these cute cats, taking photos, taking photos, and taking random photos on the streets and alleys, and taking photos on mobile phones are all blockbusters. The world's first cat museum is also located here. Walking into the museum and experiencing the special cat culture also adds infinite fun to travel.

The ruins of the British colony, the petty-bourgeois murals, the mottled old streets of Kuching, enter a Chinese shop and taste a cup of authentic butter coffee. I accidentally entered the time and space tunnel: shops, alleys, and rich coffee all tell the unique taste of this small town.

As a coastal city, seafood meals are no problem. If you spend about 100 RMB per person per person, you can enjoy a top-class seafood feast, which is extremely cheap. One must mention that Xinyaowan Old Street, a town with a history of over a century, is full of delicious food and is very lively.

Tomato sauce is a sauce made of tomatoes, a traditional authentic food in Sarawak. The three-color milk tea, as the name suggests, has three colors of milk tea. It is composed of the top layer of black tea, the middle layer of milk and the last step of brown sugar. It is mixed with the aroma of milk, sweet and refreshing, and is definitely worth tasting. There is also the unique game meal in Kuching, which can completely satisfy your desire to eat.

The next day, I took a speedboat to the ancient national park, and I claimed to be able to see all the wild animals in Borneo. It is known as the most typical Sarawak forest and ecological reserve. Long tailed monkeys and silver langurs are common, and mountain pigs often appear at the park headquarters, and squirrels and giant lizards are also frequent visitors here. In the afternoon, you will also have the chance to see rare proboscis monkeys, especially on the two trails of Tellow Bagu and Tellow Derima.

All trails are traveling through different vegetation, from 80 meters long to dense mangrove forests, you can find them here. If you want to see the charm of carnivorous nepenta, you must take the Lindang trail.

The tour guide is a resting place for forest hiking, among which the small straight-down Bandan can be said to be the best choice. One hour walk will arrive at a rocky headland, which is an extremely beautiful and quiet bay. All beaches can see cliffs made of limestone and sandstone, and the waves and breezes leave various traces on the stones for many years, forming the famous local sea stack.

In the evening, if you walk on the "Ti Luoya San" beach near the park headquarters, you can see hundreds of swifts hovering and flying near the nest on the rock wall at the end of the beach. When the sunset slowly falls towards the other end of the mountain, wait for 20 minutes, and there will be a clear and colorful sunset behind the mountain. You can stay on the beach to enjoy the infinitely beautiful moment.

There are hundreds of species of frogs living in this rainforest, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, they are the performers in the forest. Listen carefully to this wonderful music and unveil the mystery of nature performers, sound, color, habit, structure, function...

Finally, you can enter the indigenous groups and experience their lives up to date. You can understand the living environment, customs, customs, food, clothing, literary and artistic hobbies of different ethnic groups in Sarawak at close range. Friends who like to collect seals can also bring small notebooks and leave marks at the display of each ethnic group.

I have to mention the unique shabe qin here. You can see the process of making shaba qin in the cultural village. You can walk through the cultural village, stop and taste carefully, and every corner tells you the immortal magic of this mysterious and ancient land.

In the evening, I came to the first-ranked new Nyonya restaurant, kebaya. Nyonya is a mixed-race descendant of Chinese and locals who settled in Malaysia during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The man is called Baba, and the woman is called nyonya, which is Nyonya.

Gradually, a unique Nyonya culture was formed in Malaysia, and Nyonya cuisine gradually became a local flavor that must be tasted in Malaysia.

The characteristics are sweet and sour, spicy, slightly spicy, and heavy flavor. Most of the sauces are made of more than a dozen spices. Due to different geographical locations, Nyonya cuisine is also slightly different in different regions. For example, it is more affected by Thai cuisine. Shrimp paste is one of its most commonly used seasonings, and the taste is sour and spicy.

When he walked into this restaurant, Dong Ge was instantly attracted by the strong ethnic characteristics here. Who would have thought that this place was burned out by a fire and bought it, and several old houses were built into boutique hotels and Nyonya restaurants. Through their careful design, the beauty of these seven old houses had the opportunity to see the light of day again.

One of the very important elements of Nyonya food culture is the long table. The Nyonya decorations that can be seen everywhere are very exquisite and elegant, and it feels like every corner is worth savoring.

Although it looks like an old house in a row outside, I didn’t expect to see another world when I passed through the restaurant. A rectangular courtyard with a courtyard-like layout and ancient buildings made people feel relaxed and pleasant.

The first dish of the appetizer is porkmanTou. It is not an exaggeration to say that Chinese cuisine has a profound impact on Nyonya’s food culture. You will find clues when you look at the name. That’s right, pork steamed buns, and Johnson gave it a new name, Roujiamo.

The pork in the steamed bun is processed using low-vacuum cooking method to ensure that the meat is heated evenly and melts in the mouth, tender and juicy, and delicate taste. In addition, the fine seasoning and the flavor of pickled vegetables are eaten with homemade steamed buns. The taste is salty, fragrant, soft and tender, and the juice is rich.

The second dish of the appetizer is Banxeo, which combines the characteristics of Vietnamese traditional snacks. Add crispy pancake crust with shredded chicken, dried shrimp, vegetables, crispy tofu and other ingredients, and drizzle with tamarind sauce. It is sweet and sour, fragrant and crispy, which is also quite innovative.

The third appetizer is miangkham. miangkham was originally a popular street snack in Laos. This restaurant has been improved on this basis, wrapped in fresh betel leaves, grilled coconut, shrimp, lime, cashew and Norwegian salmon roe, sweet and sour, salty and fresh. You can feel multiple flavors in every bite of food, instantly activate your taste buds. The magic of appetizer lies in this.
