Part 2 of My Favourite Sarawak Dishes

Hello again my dear readers. Well I hope you guys enjoy my first entry. For the second entry its a continue of my food hunting around Kuching. If you guys still remembered for the first entry I've talking about Sarawak Laksa , "Mee Kolok" , Ice- cream "Gula - Apong", "Umai" ,  and  "Teh C- Special". So this time I'll be talking few more my favourite dishes. Well as we all know Sarawak also famous with the "ayam pansuh" or chicken cook inside the bamboo. Actually this dish is famous among Iban people. Here a picture of "Ayam Pansuh".

Freshly cook ayam pansuh. Best eat while it still hot with hot plain white rice.












Another Sarawak dish that I love to eat is the "Midin Belacan". Actually this "Midin" only available at Sarawak. This make visitors from outside when the come to Sarawak will surely find this vegetable. Usually people cook this "Midin" with shrimp paste. Also not to forget the "Terung Dayak". People in Sarawak call it as Sarawak Apple just because of its shape and size. Dont be suprise if you go to the open market you will find that the price of 1 "Terung Dayak" will cost you around RM3.00 and above. Below are the pictures of the already cooked  "Midin Belacan" and "Terung Dayak".

 These are the image of the famous "Terung Dayak". Best way pf cooking by making it as soup boil together either with enchovies or dry fish.

The already cooked version of "Midin". The best way of cooking this"Midin" by add with shrimp paste.

Sarawak also famous with the colourful layer cake or to be exact the famous "Kek Lapis". This beautiful layer cake can only be found at Sarawak. Nowadays it is easy to find and buy this layer cake because some of the cake maker have their own "Kek Lapis" bakery and they even offer delivery via post caurier. I found that this "Kek Lapis" quite unique from the normal typical cakes. This is because this cake have many layers and those layer were glue with the fresh made fruit jem. To produce this cake, it need long time so that the cake produce will be perfect and it will taste nice. This "Kek Lapis" commonly serve during festive season. Not only limited to "Hari Raya" celebration but also these "Kek Lapis" alsong been serve during Chinese New Year,Christmas and any other festive seasons. By the way, here's some photos of the famous "Kek Lapis" Sarawak. Actually it have two version, the normal "Kek Lapis" and the roll "Kek Lapis".

 Such a mouth -watery scenery I guess. The colour itself can make you imagine what does it taste like. The art of each design can be seen clearly. You can see how much work need to be done to produce one perfect "Kek Lapis' Sarawak.

My favourite Sarawak Dishes

     As we all know Sarawak famous with it multiracial culture. Each ethnics have their own signature dish. I am thankful that eventhough all the food are originally from difference races but yet I still can eat it because most of the food are Halal.So for those put Sarawak as one of the place to visit, you guys should not be worried about eating the chinese style food or Iban style food or any other races trademark dishes since you can have the Halal version of it. Let me share with you guys the photos of my favourite Sarawak famous dishes that I really to eat. 
The first one is the famous Mee kolok.This Mee Kolok consist of the onion oil to make it a bit oily and not to dry, the homemade noodles, shreded beef meat and taugeh. Along with it is  the beef stock soup and the spicy chilli sauce. The correct way of eating this mee kolok is by mixing everything than you only you can taste of each element in one bowl. It is suggested to eat mee kolok using a pair of chopsticks. To eat mee kolok it is suggested to have it with the famous Sarawak three layer tea.
The other Sarawak dish that I love to eat is Sarawak Laksa. Well I can say that this sarawak laksa quite famous among all of Malaysian. Actually Sarawak Laksa a bit different from another laksa that exist in Malaysia. Sarawak laksa will be serve along with boiled shrimp,omelet,taugeh,homemade chili paste,beehoon, and lime. Mix everything together than you can feel all the elements in one bites. 
Not to forget the Melanau tradional dish known as "Umai". This umai is made from fresh fish slice into small and thin pieces than add some lime juice,onion,chillies and put it inside the refrigerator for few hours. 
The Ice cream "Gula Apong" is one of the famous homemade ice cream that you will only get this in Sarawak. The ice cream it self dont have any taste but they add the "gula Apong" syrup into it. Not only that, you also can choose any topping you want. As for me I will choose my favourite topping which is nut. Well what can you say about a nuts lover.
