My very first visit to Kuala Lurah

Okay.. it is a bit weird to tag this post under “travel log” since… err.. I don’t even see going to Miri as “traveling” but nevermind la, it’s my first time going to Kuala Lurah so it should be forgiven. No?

So… Bob-da-bi came and picked me up from Batu Bersurat at almost 6pm then went to Bunut to meet up with his braders so we could carpooled.

It was like a totally different world when we’re on our way… I felt like I was back to my mom’s Sibu kampung area. Wide un-busy road, padi fields and scarcely distributed wooden houses.

Reached the border at 6.30pm, just in time for the immigration officers to break their fast… Hence the non-moving cars.

My mom who went to Limbang the day before me said that there was still one immigration poll opened during the sungkai time. So lucky hor. And give my mom a big round of applause for being a big big girl because SHE DROVE ALL THE WAY FROM SERIA TO LIMBANG WITH HER FRIENDS (all aunties). My mom has grown up so much~ *sniffs*

7pm… the line moved~

There was some people who just parked their cars and walked across so I wondered if we could do the same. But the gentlemen in the car told me it’s a little far ever since the new Malaysia immigration office was built. But.. when I reached the eating place, I think the guys overestimated the “princess” in me. That kind of distance, I can still walk and won’t complain laaaaaahhhhhh!!! It’s nearer from walking from my house to Seria town can.



First shop, Sugarbun. Second shop, duty-free shop.

My bodyguards. Super fail lor, I was walking behind them (checking out their backsides wtf)
HAHhahahahhahaha! Just kidding okay, don’t so serious!

In the….. ermm… food court.

It’s better than what I expected. I was expecting wooden structures, with wooden tables and wooden benches next to longkang with no cover flooded with pukes and pee. Okay, I know I very over. The service was good because the drinks and food were served in a lightning speed, every request will be fulfilled, and the atmosphere was just so lively. Full of laughter, bottles clicking and occasionally some loud drunk uncle shouting at his friends. It’s fun!

My slightly more expensive stubby and lonely 100 plus among the cheaper tall bottles of beers.

This fish + tofu thing is awesome!!!!!!

Tongkeng and lambs! OMG! The tongkeng is totally to die-for! No colourings like those in pasar malam! Urghh.. it’s just for hard to find nice tongkeng around here because, me no like RED tongkeng okay. Furthermore, the tongkeng has.. the… ermm…. the “dirty” part removed. Very very very very delicious! Juicy, tender and full of flavours.

Chicken wingssssssss!!!

Oh, and you can choose if you want to pay in RM or BND. Convenient till~

Midin Belachan… $3 only.

Fried calamari. Normally this is like very precious if ordered in Brunei.. but compared to other food, this is just so so so normal and… nothing to wow for.

Finally got my cravings for sting ray killed! I was looking for this in pasar malam in KB last week but don’t have nice one (actually all sold out… but I bet this is better) $9


Dumplings! On nom nom nom nom nom! How to resist?!

Our table.. super packed with food!
Very unhealthy but what the heck~

When WC asked KR if he ordered fried sausages, I was thinking in my head,

(the above picture is what I imagined it to be… very the home-cooked nothing special very blah fried sausages)

fried sausages got what so special oh? When it was served on the table and I took the first bite, wah lao eh! WHY SO DIFFERENT FROM THOSE I ATE BEFORE ONE!!!! The batter was crunchy and the sausages.. Rose brand one. Cannot compare to any of the local brands!

How can make till so yummy???????!!!!!!

The crunchy deep fried chicken wings! Any crunchier I’m going to check if they add plastic to the oil already!

 

It was such a wonderful night… Chit chatting, with a table of yummy (and cheap!) food and reminiscing the past. Oh man, I’ve known this bunch of guys for 10 years already! 10 years ago, they always hanged out in cyber cafes play counter strike, lepak in Gadong centerpoint and the Mall was not built yet. I walked from Batu Bersurat to Gadong almost everyday just to see my (ex) boyfriend. Then when everyone wanted to have a break, we’ll go to the Indian shop for those martabak (Bobby’s gang). My goodness, we were so young back then!

We’re so going to visit Kuala Lurah in the near future. A bit regret why we only discover it last week since it’s so near (nearer than going to Miri) and the food is so good and cheap!
