A time for festival.

This is the 100th post. Yays!

And today is the auspicious 08-08-2010. Double yays!

In conjunction to that, we had decided to do a post on what is happening in Kuching a.k.a. CatCity.

But we bet most of y'all know what is going on for a month in CatCity, don't you?

Yes, surely you would know. Surely.

But before that, we headed down Crown Square for the Book Fair.

Book Fair 2010, 31 July 2010 - 15 August 2010.

Books are good. Good for the mind?
And not to mention, a lucky draw. Good for you, if you win an iPhone4. Good for the body?
Notice the huge amount of books, p/s - this is only part of the book fair.

It's actually a cheap warehouse book sale.

These all are hand-me-downs from US.

Price range? RM2.90 - RM6.90.

Super duper cheap.

All sorts of books.

Story books for kids, novels for teenages, love novels for the adults.

Cook book, story book, manual books, useless books, picture books.

Hard cover. Paper back.
Seriously the range covers from kids to adult.

Any book at all.

This is HEAVEN for book collectors, book worms, book addictors, book fanatics, book-whatever.

No offences. Even us are included in this book-chaos, digging for books!

After the crazily-sweaty-session-of-book-digging, it's time to head over to the famous Kuching Food Festival.

The annual event for every Kuching Cats! (referring to all of you who are living in CatCity).

Pity no picture of the banner, 'coz it's pouring cats & dogs.

Anyway, here are some of the interesting harvest from the festival.
New invention?

Twist Potato.
Yeah, real ones. 100% original, kay!

Screw that potato, it's twisted.

Deep-fried = crispy potato chips.

But, please consume while it's hot, if no, you will face the wrath of soggy chips!
Sweet-drawing.
Phoenix sweet.
This China man very professional in drawing sweets.

No words can describe how skillful he is.
... (don't know how to translate this).

Well, there is this another China man who molds cartoon characters out of play-doh.

And another China man who draws portraits.

No play-play.
See all these and tell us, how incredibly skillful their hands are?!

Okay, enough of all the stall-talking.

Time to uncover what we harvested from the food festivals.

We decided to try all the special foods we saw.

All the weirdest, too.

龙须甜. (Dragon Whisker's Sweet).

草袋饭. (Straw Basket Rice).

Assorted flavours.

Citrus Scallop, Emperous Ham, Mushroom Chicken, Pineapple Delight, Nyonya Sambal.
Glutinous rice!

In assorted flavours too, life is all about choices, kan?

There is salty, pandan, yam and red bean.
Last but not least, Japan Boat Takoyaki.

In other words, sotong balls.

We had an awesome time walking down the stalls set up specially for this Kuching Food Festival.

Fear not, it is ON everyday, every night specifically.

From the 31st July 2010 to the 22 August 2010.

Head down now, aight? Now.

Don't miss it, or you will have to wait another year!

Ciao.
