Gawai holidays

~Outings~

 

 

In front of the entrance to the Plaza merdeka shopping complex in kuching. The simple decoration of the Gawai festival represents new year to the several native ethnic group in this city.

 

Nature works best even when there's only a wall...but the shrub manage to get its way to the surface of the wall and climbs higher to get the sunlight, their source of energy...

 

 

 

The view of the kuching city in daylight...one can never miss the DUN building that somehow represents landmark of kuching city...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wax apple or known as water apple etc

Wax apple season~
This mini wax apple contain mostly water, prone to disease infection if not taken proper care...photo above are some of the wax apples on an abandon tree..nice to see but not to eat...it may have worms especially fully ripe ones...only the fully ripen fruits on tree that will bear the little sweet flavors...;)

Steam mantou bun

Recently have been raining a lot in my area..so the only thing I can think of while managing the time is....try to make some chocolate swirl mantou....
