Kuching is a very relaxed place. Put on your blue jeans and t-shirt and you'll fit right in. For girls, if you put on a dress with a knee length flair skirt, you will never feel out of place.

 | Kuching Waterfront: A Romantic Stroll by the River in Kuching |   |  |
 |  | ||
 |  on August 5, 2005 |
~Careless Whispers~ The Kuching Waterfront in the State of Sarawak is an example of a very good redevelopment scheme. What was once an unkempt and muddy riverbank lined with abandoned godowns has been transformed into a pleasant area for the townfolk (and tourists) to relax and have a leisurely stroll through. The best time to visit the waterfront is at night when the place is a hive of activity, and there are open-air pubs to drink at and watch the boats and people go by. The lights along the waterfront add a festive feel. But don’t go too late though. It seems most Kuchingites go to bed rather early because when I took a stroll at 11.00pm, the place was almost deserted...apart from young lovers holding hands and whispering sweet nothing's to each other. Kuching is a very relaxed place. Put on your blue jeans and t-shirt and you'll fit right in. For girls, if you put on a dress with a knee length flair skirt, you will never feel out of place. |

| Chintown and Bukit Bentang Road: Live performance, shopping and eating go together |  | |
| | ||
 |  on September 10, 2003 |
Bukit Bentang Road is itself a great nightlife spot. You can shop in the 6 retail malls in the neighborhood or in various shops. When you get tired, sit at roadside cafes in front of either BB Plaza or Plaza Low Yatt, have coffee, snacks and listen to the live musical performance of the bands. If you are walking from top of the street (i.e. Bukit Bentang Road) from say Federal Hotel towards BB Plaza, then take left at first road intersection. The first street parallel to Bukit Bentang Road appears a bit rundown, but remains awake almost throughout the night. Street vendors sell food and fruites that people consume in abundance. you can sit by a roadside vendor, buy doorian D24 (the best quality), have it cut professionally and go for the delicious inside. Another night time adventure would be to do shopping in Chinatown. During the day, it can be hot there. There is a foodcourt with lots of food outlets. After shopping, have dinner there and watch people and street vendors. You can dress the way you want. Ahem I mean moderately. |

| The Beach Club: Drinking Malaysia dry | | |
| | ||
 |  on December 29, 2003 |
An excellent drinking hole with good music ,the only problem we had (on both visits,12 months apart) was getting served at the bar,not enough staff for the customers drinking there. Approx 18 ringits for entry but 1 free drink with that.Many locals seem to drink there and nationalities from all over the world seem to congregate on the dance floor.On my first visit there in 2002 the football world cup was on, in Japan and South Korea ,we spent of the night drinking and partying with some Brazilians and trying to samba,not easy with a couple of gallons of beer inside you...I blamed the jet-lag !!!!! No dress code , but i wear 'book'em Danno' shirts anyway !!!! |

Pasar Malam is Malay word Night Market, pronounce Paasaar Maalaam, please do not pronounce Payser Maylem. Pasar Malam is local peoples' way of nightlife since long time ago. The way of Pasar Malam is to have a place at night selling all sorts of daily products including fish, meat, vegetables, cattles, etc. Pasar Malam is open to anyone free entrance and the best is anyone can join in to sell whatever they have. You tourists want to join to sell your old backpack, boots etc, this is the place. Pasar Malam is not so popular among modern trendy youngsters probably it look too old fashion and cheap, not suitbale to parade LV Gucci Prada Dior Armani etc. Pasar Malam is however still exist in most of Malaysia. Tourists should learn how to get to Pasar Malam, a good place to take photos etc. Visiting Pasar Malam is to experience the way of life of Malaysia at night. I suggest tourists to look for remote Pasar Malam in states of Kelantan, Terengganu or Pahang, less visited Pasar Malam provide more originality. |

For those who love to socialize and having fun, this is one THE place to be.. a whole selection of cafes, bars, clubs and restaurants like Alexis, Red Chamber, Dome, etc. The whole atmosphere is great as there're many people chilling out at the bars and cafes. You can hear music from almost every corner of the streets. |

in the evening you may want to entertain yourself by shopping :)) bargains can be made at the busy outdoor bazaars, where you can find almost every kinds of souvenirs, from original malay articrafts to ralph lauren reproductions. pirate cd's and dvd's you can find really cheaply, as well as nice jewelery. these bazaars are likely to get you bargains, unlike the cool shopping malls, which are really highly priced(many of the malls owned by japanese companies). even though not so expensive, after a month in malaysia i continued my trip to HK with fairly empty pockets....and an extra suitcase ;)) |

| Alcoholic drinks (Malaysian Beers): Alcoholic drinks (Malaysian Beers) | | |

Please remember the government of Malaysia is very sensitive with alcoholic drinks, alcohol=BAD, no no sir, Malaysia will not offer any National Beers to tourists. But we import lot, we can offer the #1 selling Danish Carlsberg, Irish Guinness, Dutch Heineken, Singaporean Tiger, American Budweiser and etc. Budget tourists can go for cheap beer, there are some Thailand's Chang, Singha, LEO or TsingDao from China and many more. There is a KickBeer & TopBeer imported from Germany but considered as local brand, this is probably our domestic brand of alcoholic drinks. (picture) is an Indonesian exported beer, cost Rm3.60 per can (price for April 2006). Imported cigarettes Salem pack of 14 cost Rm3.90 (also price for April 2006) Malaysian Tuak This drink is extremely unpopular in any modern city of Malaysia because of it's way of presentation, brand-less and low cost, nightlifer prefer something more expensive and exotic. Tuak is a traditional home-made alcoholic drinks. If you visit Sarawak or Sabah, there are some local made fruit wines by Aborigines, sugarcane wine, wild mangosteen wine and.... |
