Life Lesson #1: Never trust a guy who drinks his wine (or beer) straight from the bottle
…you tend to take a leak very often. But what happen in case of emergency? If you are a guy, you can pee anywhere. If you are a girl, so sorry if you are looking for a decent toilet but couldn’t find one.
Now, let me present to you the Kampua Talk Exclusive (TM) pictures that you cannot find anywhere else in the world. This was what I saw when I turned around while waiting for the bus.
If you look hard enough…
…he was not acting. You can actually see the shower line of pee but due to the reflection from the sunlight, it was pretty much camouflaged.
The cravings for umai, the local raw fish dish, were so strong that it makes people do crazy things.
Hoi! That fish cannot be eaten lah!
In Mukah, the best place to find everything local is the tamu (market). Huai Bin and I went to the market across the street to hunt for umai after I managed to pry him away from the statue
Nope! Not umai! Next!
Look Ma, baby stingrays! So cute!
Poor Daddy Stingray! Dying a gruesome death at the hands of human being.
Baby sharks! So adorable!
Umai, umai, where art thou?
After making several phone calls to our walking food directory, the honourable Suituapui, we managed to find our way to this place called Nibong (opposite Dewan Suarah), claimed to serve the best umai in town.
Unfortunately, the place was deserted when we arrived. Apparently there was a party with lots and lots of alcohol involved the night before which lasted till 3am that morning, which explained the empty place.
Me: [thinking] Hmmm! If I jumped into this river and catch a fish to make my own umai…
Huai Bin dialed 911 when I climbed over the railing *sweat*
So we went back to the tamu and asked around. We walked to the other tamu next to the first one to continue our hunt for umai. Turning from a corner, we spotted this at the first stall
Umai Segar (fresh umai)
You can see the stall owner slicing the fish with skills.
Control handsome! Keep cool!
Being the typical kiasu that he is, Huai Bin tried to cut the fish like the guy but almost lost his most important finger (neh, the one used to show off when scolding other drivers on the road one)
There are 2 types of sambal that go with umai - sambal campur and sambal cecah (jeb)
We bought both and a packet of sago.
Sambal campur consists of thin slivers of raw fish, sliced onions, chilli, salt and calamansi juice.
It is usually accompanied by a bowl of toasted sago pearls
I do not fancy the sago so I ate the umai just like that
Umai Sambal Cecah (jeb) - dip a forkful of thinly sliced raw fish into the sauce and eat it. Spicy but at the same time delicious!
This true blue camwhore bitch will definitely post up videos of himself in almost all the situation above so I’m not gonna say much here.
True blue camwhore bitch doing his bimbo pose! *run fast fast*
I have always wanted to eat a LIVE sago worms since…since I ate fried sago worms when I was 9. My mom wouldn’t go anywhere near sago worms (or any worms for that matter) and so I was banned from purchasing them at the market and bringing them home.
They say, when opportunity knocks on the door, put down that dishes you are washing and open the damn door! So, I jumped at the chance to go to Mukah with Huai Bin when he asked (I’m THAT impulsive okay, shut up!). Being the typical kiasu that he is, he has covered most of the trip already so I’m not going to bore you with the details
Okay, back to sago worms. My main objectives in Mukah were LIVE SAGO WORMS and UMAI. In this post, Kampua Talk will bring you to a totally new food adventure. Instead of eating Kampua and crap like usual, let’s do something extraordinary.
We went to the tamu or market the next morning for our exotic food hunt. We stopped at the first stall we saw selling sago worms.
1 bungkus RM5.00 (It used to be cheaper more than a decade ago!)
Sago worms have a plump, yellowy-cream body with a soft-ridged texture and a hard-shelled head. On close examination, the body can be seen to be covered by fine hair. [Wikipedia]
The nice and friendly people at the market taught us the proper way to eat the sago worms alive. They even went to the extent of cleaning the worms for us before we ate.
Shoppers: What are these kids doing filming themselves eating worms? Big deal!
Don’t scream or call 911 when you see sago worms! I know a lot of girls do that.
You pick them up - the fattest, the slimiest, the juiciest, the better
Being the kiasu that I am, being the first to have more than one of these in Sarawak is something to be proud of
Someone more kiasu than me has blogged about this but yours truly being the one who sent these stuff to him, so the credit still goes to ME, MOI, SAYA, WA, WO, NGUI, AKU, KAMEK, WATASHI!!!
I brought 6 of these back to Kuching and then to Sibu so I’m telling you (you read this first on Kampua Talk) that these are the FIRST few to reach the shore of SARAWAK! Even though they said that the drinks are available in “all the 7-11s around“, I couldn’t find them in any 7-11 in Kuching.
I love Whatever because of its non-carbonated nature. I’m not a big fan of carbonated drinks anyway. Oh, they have a variety of Ice Lemon Tea, Apple Tea, Jasmine Green Tea, White Grape Tea, Peach Tea and Chrysanthemum Tea. The one that I had was White Grape Tea. Nice!
On the other hand, Anything, which is carbonated, has a variety that ranges from Apple, Cola, Orange, Root Beer, Fizz Up and Cloudy Lemon. Alvin opened a can and encountered Orange!
Great concept! I love being surprised and not knowing what flavour you are going to get until you open the can doubles the excitement!
PS: I have 2 cans of Whatever and 2 cans of Anything left. Those in Sibu who want to have a taste, start bidding now LOL!
