The Simunjan Night Bazaar



I can't recall exactly what is the time the trip to Simunjan, but it was fell in 2009. The trip is quite memorable as I had the opportunity to tasted the local food and met the local villages.

Simunjan is a small town located around 150km or more from Kuching, it is famous with their Simujan rice with some plant on the mountain terrace. I think the local here mostly are Chinese Hakka and Malays, as the Chinese I met here speaking Hakka, and I saw quite a number of Malay house along the way to the town. And other ethnic perhaps Iban who are planting the mountain rice.

The town is setting beside a river. There are more than 40 shophouses around the town, a wet market, and if i am not mistaken a bank. I enjoy exploring places like this especially small town around Sarawak.

Besides the brown rice we ate for lunch and dinner at the corner coffee shop, and the *roti canai with curry chicken and *teh tarik at the new built food store behind the shophouses on the next day morning, I had tried the local style Kolo Mi at the night bazaar for supper in the first day night. The Kolo Mi here is not bad, and summarized as below.



Noodles: Bounce taste good like tradition.

Barbecue meat: Smile taste good and juicy.

Minced meat: Crying 2 a little bit disappointed.

White meat:Bounce

Fish ball:Smile

Others:Roll vegetable and extra add to the local favour.

Overall:Bounce


* roti canai: famous Indian food normally eat with curry dal.

* teh tarik: bubble milk tea also known as eastern cappuccino.
