Transiting

Spent almost 3 weeks in Sarawak. Done a fair bit in my home town. Managed to catch up with old friends some I haven't seen for 15 years. Fantastic feelings! I planned on a little gastronomic trip this time. Managed to find most of the food that I have been yearning to eat - Bik Sou, Rambutan, kong pia, jung niu pian, kam pua, locally roasted and brewed Kopi/Kopi C, half-moon crepes, pink guava, rojak, cuttlefish ong cai, malay kueh, pong pian, a 500 ringgit Golden Happy banquet, duck yolk gluten rice dumpling, muah ji, Sarawak native olives (Black and Red), Sarawak Lycee, No 1 Sarawak pineapple, Chi Chao C, Mee Lian Khok, most delicious chicken soup made from kampung free range chicken, BBQ pig head skin, rose apple, liu lian, 3 colored milk teaa, bah kuk teh, did I miss any?

Arrived in Singapore around 8pm. Had dinner at my aunt's at Woodlands. Took a taxi to Roxy Square to meet up with these 2 friends. Went back to "backpacker" in Marine Terrace to pack because tomorrow afternoon taking off to taiwan - another gastronomic adventure!!

A little worn out from Sarawak trip, thank god I have a place to spend the night in SG. Feeling a little rushed, a little disoriented.

Will spend 2 weeks in Taiwan before heading back home. SG is a great place - for transiting.
