Kuching is the capital of Sarawak, a beautiful city with lots of greens and wonderful friendly people. It is a multi racial city where Malays, Chinese, Indians, Ibans, Dayaks and other ethnic races come together. You will be amazed to see them sitting in the same shops or restaurants regardless of their religions, ones that you can’t capture in other parts of Malaysia. Something that is wonderful among the locals. There are local and western cuisines, drinks like coffee to alcoholic beverages are plentiful here. The city is getting crowded with more development for the past few years but still it’s not hard to get around and the new government is trying to make new plans with new infrastructure to revive the city for the people.

Kuching City is well known for its friendly people and melting pot of races and religion. It is also the capital of Sarawak State. The word “Kuching” means “cat”. One can see the statue of cats in the city’s golden triangle center. The State Government has a vision for Kuching to become a healthy city to enhance the quality of life for the people.

Weather in Kuching is either hot or wet year-round. Secondly food – if they are a foodie, one should consider moving here as we have a lot of food ranging from Asian to Western cuisine – could be quite spicy but if they have a strong stomach and curious mind, they should be all right. Nightlife is non-existent.

The city that I live in is a quiet and peaceful city. Known as the “cat city”, Kuching is famous for its local delicacies such as kolo mee, Sarawak laksa and our native food like “terung Assam”, which is our local eggplant cooked in a tamarind broth, and “ayam pansuh”, which is chicken cooked in bamboo.
