<p>While I am normally not a sweet/dessert type of guy, preferring the savoury section of food instead, I have always been intrigued by the traditional Kek Lapis Sarawak &#8211; or Sarawak Layer Cake. I first discovered Sarawakian Layer Cakes during a tour of Kuching town, when our guide suggested a stop at one of the various factory/retail shop existing in town, Dayang Salhah. I immediately thought, here we go, the obligatory tourist trap. But I had to redeem myself; inside the store, we were greeted by friendly staff who showed us all the different Sarawak layer cakes that they made. There were several chillers where vividly colourful layer cakes were stacked up and ready to go. They then invited us to try strips and pieces of these delicacies, and with one bite I could tell that these were no ordinary cakes: they were tasty, moist and buttery and with just the right amount of sweetness, plus you could tell they had added spices to give special aroma to each of the cakes. I was informed that Dayang Salhah began its operations in 1997 as a small family business, and that today it has evolved into the most famous and established manufacturer of Kek Lapis Sarawak. Check them out on http://keklapisdayangsalhah.net , you can even buy online if you live in Malaysia. I was deeply taken by Kek Lapis, and promised myself to get to know more about these traditional handcrafted cakes. My research started with a bit of history of Kek Lapis, which seems to have been originally baked in the neighbouring Indonesia, and introduced to the people of Sarawak later, though there is also a theory that modern Sarawakian layered cakes were introduced to the people of Sarawak from innovation inspired by Western cake-making in early 1980s, using different ingredients and baking methods and giving the Sarawak version a totally unique look, crafted intricate designs and original flavours. This new generation of eye-catchingly bright layers cake is called Kek Lapis Qalas Qalas and they can be divided into two categories: ordinary layered cakes and cakes with patterns, motifs and shapes. As a rule, all Kek Lapis must have at least two colours! Kek Lapis are usually baked for religious or cultural celebrations and special occasions, with Malaysian people serving them during open houses on festival days: Aidilfitri, Hari Raya, Lunar New Year, Chinese New Year, Christmas, Deepavali, birthdays and weddings. During my following few more days in Kuching, I had the chance to see layers cakes everywhere: inside shopping malls, at bakery and pop-up stalls, at Kek Lapis specialized cute little shops and even from vendors along the riverside galleried area, an infinite choice of flavoured and rainbow-coloured delicacies from different producers and brands, there to tease your taste buds. Kek Lapis prices varies from RM10 to RM30 depending on ingredients and size of the cakes; a good deal for a local delicacy, I thought. My curiosity took me even further, and at Maria Kek Lapis, a cute shop in one of the Kuching alleys, at 4 Jalan Bishop Gate, I asked to tell me the ‘secret’ behind these delicacies. No secret, said Maria, and prompted me to follow her into the hot and tiny kitchen where it all happens. The recipe calls for butter, eggs, sugar, flour, milk and colouring and flavouring ingredients like pandan, chocolate, peppermint, strawberry, mango or orange, as well as products like Horlicks and Milo. Making Kek Lapis is indeed an extremely tedious job, one that can only be rewarded by the beauty of the final creation. A layer cake usually has between 10 and 20 parallel layers of cakes, with Sarawak version using 5 layers at the bottom, a fancy design in the middle and another 5 layers at the top. This middle fancy section is achieved by creating strips of different colours cut into square or triangular shapes using a utility knife: a very skilled job! A small amount of batter is then evenly spread in between each layer, and a 5 minutes baking time is given to the tray after each layer has been composed. Once this is done, the cake is tamped down flat with a special tool before the baker creates the next layer, and so on. Considering the number of layers at 5 minutes baking time per layer plus preparation time, you can easily work out that it takes between an hour work and two to make one single cake happen! Kek Lapis use no leavening agent and must be cooked from the top &#8211; like if you were grilling each layer; if you baked a layers cake in a conventional oven way you would end up with a dry and overcooked cake. To give Kek Lapis the high and firm texture, the layers are ‘glued’ together using jam or condensed milk, the latter usually making the cake hold longer. Special, more detailed cakes require special moulds. After baking the last layer, the cake must be cooled at room temperature before being exposed in the chiller. Well, chapeau to the Kek Lapis makers; such a laborious and time-consuming process fully deserved my investment into different cakes! And they are not just cakes, they are pieces of art. It is still hard for me to grasp that something that takes so long to prepare and bake can be devoured in such a small amount of time!</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Do you love nature? Do you need clean air? Do you enjoy watching flora and fauna? If you are an adventure and nature lover, I would like to recommend to you a very extraordinary place located at the top of a mountain; a place one thousand meters above sea level yet to be fully discovered. This place is called Borneo Highlands Resort. Borneo Highlands is a resort located in Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo, in the foothills of the Kuching province; it lays 60 km from town, an easy one hour drive. Since Kuching is a very simple province, full of multicultural ethnics and historical buildings, you will hear lots of dialects and languages on the way to this little heaven, as well as enjoying beautiful panoramas. Borneo Highlands is the perfect hideaway for those seeking tranquility and peace from work and from the hustle and bustle of urban life. The resort is a kind of retreat destination as it offers more than just amusing scenery. Among the attractions are a golf area, a jungle spa, nature, local food, herbal teas, an orchid’s garden, and freshwater from the waterfall. Yet, the most amazing place in Borneo Highlands is at the border between Malaysia and Kalimantan, Indonesia, nestled between the oldest and world’s second-largest tropical rainforest. As Borneo Highlands Resort was created with emphasis to blend with nature, it naturally offers boundless outdoors activities all year round. One of these activities is the Padawan Nature Challenge which is jointly organized by Padawan Municipal Council and Borneo Highlands Resort.  It is a cycling and trekking adventure with competition amateurs categories, a challenge that gives the opportunity for adventurous nature lovers to be close to Mother Nature while experiencing the environmental and adventure tourism aspects of Padawan and of Borneo Highlands Resort. Well, as for me, a day trip to Borneo Highlands is so exciting and meaningful that I always leave with a craving for more adventure there. On that one day trip, I managed to experience the real nature, to feel the fresh air, to taste botanical tea and delicious vegetarian food, as well as to visit Malaysia’s national borders. So, if it is back to nature, it is back to Borneo Highlands Resort.

<p><strong>Borneo Highlands</strong> is a resort located in <a href="https://asianitinerary.com/it/category/malesia/sarawak-it/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Sarawak</strong></a>, <strong>Malaysian Borneo</strong>, in the foothills of the <strong><a href="https://asianitinerary.com/it/category/malesia/sarawak-it/kuching-it/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kuching</a></strong> province; it lays 60 km from town, an easy one hour drive. Since <strong><a href="https://asianitinerary.com/it/category/malesia/sarawak-it/kuching-it/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kuching</a></strong> is a very simple province, full of multicultural ethnics and historical buildings, you will hear lots of dialects and languages on the way to this little heaven, as well as enjoying beautiful panoramas.</p>
<p><strong>Borneo Highlands</strong> is the perfect hideaway for those seeking tranquility and peace from work and from the hustle and bustle of urban life. The resort is a kind of retreat destination as it offers more than just amusing scenery.</p>

<p>Trovandomi recentemente in un tour della longhouse di Annah Rais, colsi l&#8217;occasione per visitare le vicine sorgenti calde di Annah Rais. Mi svegliai riposato dopo la mia seconda notte all’homestay di Karum Bidayuh. La colazione mi aspettava a tavola, la solita dose di frittata di due uova e riso, ed un’energizzante tazza di caffè del Sarawak, il tutto gentilmente preparato dal nostro anfitrione Miss Karum la quale, mentre noi ci cibavamo, si preparava per accompagnarci alle sorgenti calde. Il posto era completamente vuoto quando arrivammo all’entrata, alle 8 del mattino, l’orario perfetto per arrivarci. Mi sentii compiaciuto della decisione presa il giorno prima di svegliarmi presto e partire altrettanto presto. Gente del posto mi aveva accennato che si può avere il posto tutto per sé durante la settimana quando ben pocha gente visita le sorgenti, ma pur essendo domenica, a quell’ora potevo considerarmi l’unico visitatore. Il posto era completamente vuoto, la caffetteria situata al lato della biglietteria era ancora chiusa (anche se sembrava non attiva da tempo) e l&#8217;unica persona presente era un giardiniere impegnato a tagliare l&#8217;erba e a potare le numerose piante dei curati giardini ai due lati del sentiero che in 5 minuti porta dall&#8217;ingresso alle sorgenti. a quell’ora, sembrava non fosse stata attiva da tempo. Arrivati all’altipiano che sovrasta il fiume sottostante, constatammo che l’acqua ce scorreva lenta era molto pulita e cristallina. Una scala di cemento porta giù al torrente, e i visitatori devono guadare le sue fresche acque per raggiungere la sorgente calda situata sull’altra sponda, azione che può risultare difficile dal momento che le correnti a volte sono veloci. È necessario avere un passo sicuro al fine di non cedere alle acque ed alle pietre scivolose. Le doccie e spogliatoi al coperto sono praticamente incustoditi e un po’ malandati; consiglio di utilizzare le docce situate all’aperto quando avete bisogno di una sciaquata. Attraversai con attenzione l&#8217;acqua fredda che mi arrivava al ginocchio e raggiunsi una piscina artificiale sul lato opposto, completa di una piattaforma di legno che funge da zona prendisole. Il tempo era stupendo, mi misi il costume da bagno mentre osservavo preoccupato dove, da un paio di punti nella profondità delle acque della sorgente, piccoli fori rilasciavano bolle d’aria bollente. Finalmente mi decisi ad immergermi nella tonificante acqua calda, che calcolai essere a circa 40 gradi, e dopo pochi minuti il mio corpo si rilassò: mi sentivo come in un altro mondo. Chiusi gli occhi e mi concentrai a fondo per sopportare il leggero disagio provocato dall’acqua calda. La natura intorno a me era quieta e si sentivano solo i grilli e l&#8217;acqua del fiume che lentamente gorgogliava. Mi rilassai ulteriormente, apprezzando la tonificante acqua di sorgente che mi rinfrescava gli stanchi muscoli delle gambe. Aprii gli occhi di nuovo: un’enorme farfalla volava in cerchio attorno alla mia testa, mostrandomi le sue ali nere e vellutate completate da verdi fantasie. Se ne andò solo per lasciare spazio ad una coppia di libellule rosse che si fermarono in fase di stallo proprio davanti alla mia faccia, immobili a parte il battere veloce delle loro ali. I dintorni erano così belli e verdi che mi sono sentito veramente a contatto con la natura. Dopo dieci minuti d’immersione, uscii dalla sorgente calda per entrare nelle fresche acque del fiume sottostante; il mio corpo accolse con piacere questa iniziativa: mi sentivo sano e rinfrescato, rivitalizzato. Dopo altri due di questi cambi acqua calda/acqua fredda, mi portai alla piattaforma di legno per fare qualche round di saluto al sole. Lo yoga è un piacere in un ambiente così tranquillo. Alla vista di nuovi visitatori che arrivavano al sito, decisi di dirigermi verso la piccola sorgete più a valle, situata proprio nel bel mezzo del fiume e delimitata da pietre. L&#8217;acqua non era calda abbastanza per bollire un uovo, ma di certo abbastanza calda per bruciare la pelle, cosi abbiamo deciso di tornare alla zona spogliatoi. Laggiù c&#8217;erano già un sacco di persone ammollo nella sorgente, e questo confermò che arrivare presto è stata una buona idea! FATTI Le piscine attorno alle sorgenti sono state costruite dalla comunità locale e sono al servizio dei visitatori. Se si vuole fare un pic-nic nei dintroni bisogna portarsi il cibo da casa visto che il piú vicino negozio di alimentari è abbastanza lontano. L&#8217;addetto alla biglietteria all&#8217;ingresso vende bibite. Alle sorgenti calde di Annah Rais non forniscono nessuna informazione sulla temperatura dell&#8217;acqua, sui tempi di balneazione consigliati e sui benefici delle acque calde. Vi è invece una scheda che ti dice che si puo nuotare ma a proprio rischio e pericolo. È perciò necessario verificare la temperatura dell&#8217;acqua prima di immergercisi, e sapere che le sessioni di immersione possono durare un massimo di 10 minuti ciascuna, alternandole con un breve tuffo nelle acque fresche del fiume, o con una doccia fredda. Prima di andarsene dalle sorgenti calde di Annah Rais, si prega di tenere il posto pulito gettando i rifiuti nei cassonetti forniti. Situate nel distretto di Padawan, le sorgenti calde di Annah Rais sono ad un 1 ora di macchina dalla città di Kuching lungo la strada panoramica per il Borneo Highlands Resort, e a soli 3 km dal villaggio di Annah Rais, che le rende facilmente raggiungibili a piedi o in bicicletta. Il biglietto d&#8217;ingresso è di RM 5 a persona. Asian Itinerary ha soggiornato al Karum Bidayuh Homestay.

<p>Dopo dieci minuti d’immersione, uscii dalla sorgente calda per entrare nelle fresche acque del fiume sottostante; il mio corpo accolse con piacere questa iniziativa: mi sentivo sano e rinfrescato, rivitalizzato. Dopo altri due di questi cambi acqua calda/acqua fredda, mi portai alla piattaforma di legno per fare qualche round di saluto al sole. Lo yoga è un piacere in un ambiente così tranquillo.</p>
<p>Alla vista di nuovi visitatori che arrivavano al sito, decisi di dirigermi verso la piccola sorgete più a valle, situata proprio nel bel mezzo del fiume e delimitata da pietre. L&#8217;acqua non era calda abbastanza per bollire un uovo, ma di certo abbastanza calda per bruciare la pelle, cosi abbiamo deciso di tornare alla zona spogliatoi. Laggiù c&#8217;erano già un sacco di persone ammollo nella sorgente, e questo confermò che arrivare presto è stata una buona idea!</p>

<p>Le piscine attorno alle sorgenti sono state costruite dalla comunità locale e sono al servizio dei visitatori. Se si vuole fare un pic-nic nei dintroni bisogna portarsi il cibo da casa visto che il piú vicino negozio di alimentari è abbastanza lontano. L&#8217;addetto alla biglietteria all&#8217;ingresso vende bibite.</p>
<p>Alle sorgenti calde di Annah Rais non forniscono nessuna informazione sulla temperatura dell&#8217;acqua, sui tempi di balneazione consigliati e sui benefici delle acque calde. Vi è invece una scheda che ti dice che si puo nuotare ma a proprio rischio e pericolo. È perciò necessario verificare la temperatura dell&#8217;acqua prima di immergercisi, e sapere che le sessioni di immersione possono durare un massimo di 10 minuti ciascuna, alternandole con un breve tuffo nelle acque fresche del fiume, o con una doccia fredda. Prima di andarsene dalle sorgenti calde di Annah Rais, si prega di tenere il posto pulito gettando i rifiuti nei cassonetti forniti.</p>
<p>Situate nel distretto di Padawan, le sorgenti calde di Annah Rais sono ad un 1 ora di macchina dalla città di Kuching lungo la strada panoramica per il Borneo Highlands Resort, e a soli 3 km dal villaggio di Annah Rais, che le rende facilmente raggiungibili a piedi o in bicicletta. Il biglietto d&#8217;ingresso è di RM 5 a persona.</p>

<p>Paradesa Borneo Discovery 1 Wayang Street, 93000 Sarawak, Kuching, Malaysia Tel +60 82238801 Email info@paradesaborneo.com www.paradesaborneo.com Facebook, Youtube, Google+ :  paradesa borneo &#160; The meeting point was at the Para Desa Borneo Discovery main office, which is right in the center of town, at 7,45. After explaining the formalities and safe measures and agreeing on signals to be used once on the road, our local tour guide Alfonso assigned each one of us with a bicycle and we were soon on the way for the half-day Kampong bicycle tour in Kuching outskirts to visit traditional Kampongs and the local market. Cycling at 8am is nice in Kuching since traffic is still not too bad at that time. Kuching roads are wide and cyclists can feel safe, in fact we felt quite comfortable straight away. Before long we were passing central market, China street, India street and finally reached the jetty where Alfonso hailed a taxi boat; we loaded the bikes and off we went for the 5 minutes boat journey to reach the opposite bank of the Sarawak River. These small local taxi boats run from 6am to 10pm and have a nominal price range of 6 to 10 Ringgit. The key of this tour are the Kampongs (Malay for ‘villages’): they were and in some cases still are home to Sarawakians; small clusters of houses built from wood and thatch and raised on stilts to avoid floods and creeping animals, nestled against a backdrops of idyllic greeneries surrounded by banana and coconut groves and marshes. Once we reached the first Kampong, we cycled along narrow lanes surrounded by a quiet environment; some of the village wooden houses on stilts are more than 100 years old and have a flavor of times past. Houses’ courtyards have hens roaming in them and kids playing, on the inside women were cooking and there was a permeating smell of boiled bamboo in the air. Kampong houses were built along the river shore and are painted in bright colours; some are derelict and uninhabited and others nicely refurbished. On these small roads, traffic is practically inexistent and we were given time to cycle at our own pace, while Alfonso showed off his knowledge of the local area. We crossed a wooden bridge and were soon within sight of a huge market, the Kubah Ria, hosted inside a modern roofed area inside which merchants proposed the usual exotic items you would expect in a local market: fruit, veggies, meat, a huge variety of fish and souvenirs, as well as unique jungle produce like wild ferns, exotic veggies, curative seeds, roots and orchid plants, all for sale at affordable prices. We were blessed to be there on a harvest celebration day and even watched a dance by local people in tribal attires. At the nearby food court, Alfonso treated the group to laksa, the local specialty: a popular spicy noodle soup from the Peranakan culture, a merger of Malay and Chinese elements. I had eaten laksa before, but this was particularly delicious, not so spicy and with a lovely pungent flavor; we washed it down with an icy cold Teh Tarik – tea with milk and sugar. A chat with Alfonso revealed his passion for this profession and his being at ease with people, and this was indeed reflected in the level of entertainment and in the wealth of information and wisdom he transmitted to the group of cyclists during the whole 3 ½ hours tour. Next destination, after crossing another series of wooden bridges and narrow passages where friendly local people waved at us and kids said infinite hallo, we found ourselves in a maze of lanes hosting a lovely residential area, where we stopped in a local house to purchase coconut water and a freshly squeezed sugar cane drink, and to socialize with the owners. The temperature started to soar and it was soon time to head back to town. In the last 10 minutes we negotiated our way in the city traffic, which was not that bad after all. Back at the office, we congratulated Alfonso, made acquaintance with operational manager Mr. Law and were offered a freshly brewed coffee that we enjoyed in the lush courtyard of the Para Desa building, which also has a chill-out lounge and a guest house on the upper floors. I felt privileged to be part of the Kampong bicycle tour in Kuching, to have been able to explore the other side of Kuching, one that very few outsiders visit, and to have seen the way the local folks live in traditional houses on stilts along the banks of the great Sarawak River. The bikes were great, 27 gears and all the necessary gear including helmets, and we were glad to be provided with a bottle of water! Alfonso is a local and an excellent guide with an impressive knowledge of the town sites and its surroundings areas. Paradesa Borneo is a small and friendly business, very much efficiently run, and I would not hesitate to recommend it to any visitor to Kuching in search of a bit of safe and healthy adventure, be it an heritage tour or a bike/hike/kayak expedition. Kampong bicycle tour in Kuching always ride, rain or shine: Duration: 3 to 3 ½ hours Tour package includes: bicycle, helmet, guide, drinks, refreshments.

<p>The key of this tour are the <strong>Kampongs</strong> (Malay for ‘villages’): they were and in some cases still are home to Sarawakians; small clusters of houses built from wood and thatch and raised on stilts to avoid floods and creeping animals, nestled against a backdrops of idyllic greeneries surrounded by banana and coconut groves and marshes.</p>
<p>Once we reached the first <strong>Kampong</strong>, we cycled along narrow lanes surrounded by a quiet environment; some of the village wooden houses on stilts are more than 100 years old and have a flavor of times past. Houses’ courtyards have hens roaming in them and kids playing, on the inside women were cooking and there was a permeating smell of boiled bamboo in the air. <strong>Kampong</strong> houses were built along the river shore and are painted in bright colours; some are derelict and uninhabited and others nicely refurbished. On these small roads, traffic is practically inexistent and we were given time to cycle at our own pace, while Alfonso showed off his knowledge of the local area.</p>
<div id="attachment_5635" style="width: 265px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="http://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IMG_2587.jpg" rel="prettyphoto[23584]"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5635" class="wp-image-23591 " src="https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IMG_2587-200x300.jpg" alt="Kampong Bicycle Tour" width="255" height="383" srcset="https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IMG_2587-200x300.jpg 200w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IMG_2587-600x899.jpg 600w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IMG_2587-100x150.jpg 100w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IMG_2587-366x548.jpg 366w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IMG_2587.jpg 683w" sizes="(max-width: 255px) 100vw, 255px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-5635" class="wp-caption-text">Local woman celebrating end of the harvest</p></div>
<p>We crossed a wooden bridge and were soon within sight of a huge market, the <strong>Kubah Ria</strong>, hosted inside a modern roofed area inside which merchants proposed the usual exotic items you would expect in a local market: fruit, veggies, meat, a huge variety of fish and souvenirs, as well as unique jungle produce like wild ferns, exotic veggies, curative seeds, roots and orchid plants, all for sale at affordable prices. We were blessed to be there on a harvest celebration day and even watched a dance by local people in tribal attires. At the nearby food court, Alfonso treated the group to laksa, the local specialty: a popular spicy noodle soup from the <a href="https://asianitinerary.com/?s=Peranakan&amp;submit="><strong>Peranakan</strong></a> <a href="https://asianitinerary.com/category/culture/"><strong>culture</strong></a>, a merger of Malay and Chinese elements. I had eaten laksa before, but this was particularly delicious, not so spicy and with a lovely pungent flavor; we washed it down with an icy cold <strong>Teh Tarik</strong> – tea with milk and sugar.</p>
<p>A chat with Alfonso revealed his passion for this profession and his being at ease with people, and this was indeed reflected in the level of entertainment and in the wealth of information and wisdom he transmitted to the group of <strong><a href="https://asianitinerary.com/category/bicycle/">cyclists</a></strong> during the whole 3 ½ hours tour.</p>
<div id="attachment_5633" style="width: 255px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="http://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IMG_2553.jpg" rel="prettyphoto[23584]"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5633" class=" wp-image-23589 " src="https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IMG_2553-200x300.jpg" alt="Young woman getting ready for the harvesting festival" width="245" height="368" srcset="https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IMG_2553-200x300.jpg 200w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IMG_2553-600x899.jpg 600w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IMG_2553-100x150.jpg 100w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IMG_2553-366x548.jpg 366w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IMG_2553.jpg 683w" sizes="(max-width: 245px) 100vw, 245px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-5633" class="wp-caption-text">Young woman getting ready for the harvesting festival</p></div>
<p>Next destination, after crossing another series of wooden bridges and narrow passages where friendly local people waved at us and kids said infinite hallo, we found ourselves in a maze of lanes hosting a lovely residential area, where we stopped in a local house to purchase coconut water and a freshly squeezed sugar cane drink, and to socialize with the owners. The temperature started to soar and it was soon time to head back to town.</p>
<p>In the last 10 minutes we negotiated our way in the city traffic, which was not that bad after all. Back at the office, we congratulated Alfonso, made acquaintance with operational manager Mr. Law and were offered a freshly brewed coffee that we enjoyed in the lush courtyard of the <strong>Para Desa</strong> building, which also has a chill-out lounge and a guest house on the upper floors.</p>

<p>I felt privileged to be part of the <strong>Kampong</strong> <a href="https://asianitinerary.com/category/bicycle/"><strong>bicycle</strong></a> tour in Kuching, to have been able to explore the other side of <a href="https://asianitinerary.com/category/malaysia/sarawak/kuching/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Kuching</strong></a>, one that very few outsiders visit, and to have seen the way the local folks live in traditional houses on stilts along the banks of the great <a href="https://asianitinerary.com/category/malaysia/sarawak/"><strong>Sarawak</strong></a> <strong>River</strong>. The <a href="https://asianitinerary.com/category/bicycle/"><strong>bikes</strong></a> were great, 27 gears and all the necessary gear including helmets, and we were glad to be provided with a bottle of water! Alfonso is a local and an excellent guide with an impressive knowledge of the town sites and its surroundings areas.</p>
<p><strong>Paradesa Borneo</strong> is a small and friendly business, very much efficiently run, and I would not hesitate to recommend it to any visitor to <a href="https://asianitinerary.com/category/malaysia/sarawak/kuching/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Kuching</strong></a> in search of a bit of safe and healthy adventure, be it an heritage tour or a bike/hike/kayak expedition.</p>

<p>Situato nel cuore della città di Kuching, proprio di fronte al Merdeka Palace Hotel in Plaza Merdeka, l&#8217;albero del cotone, alias Pokok Kapok nella lingua locale, è uno famoso punto di riferimento della capitale del Sarawak. Ogni volta che fiorisce, l&#8217;intero ambiente di Kuching cambia per un breve periodo, come se la città stesse attraversando la stagione autunnale. I suoi fiori bianchi &#8211; e in seguito il cotone &#8211; che cadono dall&#8217;albero si presentano con le sembianze della neve, da cui il soprannome con cui è noto: l&#8217;albero della neve. Secondo le testimonianze storiche, l&#8217;albero dovrebbe avere più di cent’anni. Si stima che alcuni esemplari della specie dell’albero del cotone, chiamata scientificamente Ceiba Pentandra, furono importati dal Sud America per essere coltivati in Padang Merdeka, precedentemente nota come Campo Centrale, durante il regno della famiglia Brooke. Grazie ai suoi anni, il governo del Sarawak lo ha elencato come patrimonio culturale di Kuching. Quest’albero spinoso e dalle foglie decidue è alto 27,4 metri e nel 2008 gli è stato stimato un valore superiore a 1 milione di Ringgit Malesi (circa 300.000 US$). Ciò che rende unico l’albero del cotone è che fiorifica solo una volta ogni due o tre anni. Dovuto a questo, la gente di Kuching non si lascia scappare l’occasione per scattare foto e per raccoglierne i fiori. Secondo Kho Yang Ping, donna locale di 44 anni, l&#8217;albero è un importante simbolo storico: è lì ora come lo era quando lei era solo una ragazzina, anche se a quei tempi non era consapevole di quanto meraviglioso ci si possa sentire ad essere vicino a quell&#8217;albero, e quanto questo sia importante per preservare l&#8217;ambiente. Chiunque pianifichi una vacanza a Kuching dovrebbe visitare questo straordinario albero, e forse, con un po’ di fortuna, potrebbe vedere il cotone cadere dai rami come se fosse neve, ha aggiunto Kho Yang. Marianne Renee, turista di 68 anni da Melbourne, Australia, mi ha detto che si è sentita totalmente ipnotizzata quando la mattina ha visto l&#8217;albero dalla finestra della sua camera d&#8217;albergo. “Da dove vengo io, non abbiamo questo tipo di pianta; il cotone nell’aria mi ha ricordato mia madre, la quale mi ha raccontato che doveva scendere dalla sua camera d&#8217;albergo solo per vedere ‘l&#8217;albero della neve’ da vicino e di scattare qualche foto. L&#8217;albero del cotone di Kuching è davvero un albero speciale, e non per il suo valore monetario, per la sua età o per la sua importanza storica, ma per la sua connotazione sentimentale e per la felicità che porta alla gente ogni volta che questo è in fiore. Quindi, se non avete mai visitato Kuching, o la prossima volta che siete in città, approfittate per fare una visita a questo punto di riferimento della città, e sigillate quel momento meraviglioso con una foto.</p>

<p>Conoscete il sushi? Sapete da quale paese viene? Domande inutili dal momento che anche un bambino sa che il sushi è originario del Giappone. Oggi sono qui a parlarvi della cucina asiatica, una cucina a dir poco straordinaria. Le scelte sono tantissime, piatti squisiti dai gusti indimenticabili, la maggior parte ancora sconosciuti al resto del mondo. Voi ne conoscete qualcuno in particolare? Quando si viaggia nei paesi asiatici, è naturale trovarsi a provare i cibi tradizionali. L&#8217;Asia è un continente grandissimo diviso in diversi paesi, tutti con in serbo una gran quantità di cibo locale in attesa di essere degustato. Lasciate che vi racconti di un prodotto del mio paese, la Malesia, con precisione il Borneo malese. Il Terung Dayak, noto anche come Terung Assam, è una ricetta segreta dei popoli indigeni del Sarawak, riconosciuto come cibo tradizionale e tramandato di generazione in generazione. In termini scientifici, il nome dato a questo ortaggio è Solanum Feroc L, una delle specie di melanzane. Si può trovare in molti paesi del sud-est asiatico come l&#8217;Indonesia, dove lo chiamano Sour Brinjal. Generalmente ha una forma rotonda ed è ricoperto da una pelle vellutata e pruriginosa. Il suo colore iniziale è di solito verde, e diventa giallo una volta maturo. Secondo la storia, i suoi semi furono importati nel Sarawak dall&#8217;Indonesia dal popolo Dayak. Il Terung Dayak è un ortaggio selvatico che cresceva solo nella foresta; oggigiorno i Dayak lo piantano e lo raccolgono nelle risaie. Per la gente del Sarawak, questo ortaggio si presta ad essere cucinato con pesce salato, e in particolare nella zuppa di carne di squalo salata ed essiccata. Inoltre, gli indigeni lo tagliano in piccoli pezzi per poi mangiarlo intinto in salsa sambal piccante. L&#8217;unicità del Terung Dayak è che di solito è cucinato e servito durante i matrimoni e le occasioni speciali dei Dayak. Si tratta di uno dei piatti preferiti tra la gente del Sarawak ed è oggi annoverato come parte della famosa cucina della provincia. Il vice-ministro del Sarawak, Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Alfred Jabu, ha informato il Borneo Post che il Terung Dayak è uno dei progetti chiave (in inglese KFA &#8211; o Key Focus Activity) realizzati quest&#8217;anno dalla Divisione Ricerca del Dipartimento di Stato dell&#8217;Agricoltura (DOA). Grazie ai tempi moderni, il Terung Dayak viene ora commercializzato come prodotto di nicchia del Sarawak! Altro dato interessante è che, a parte in cucina, il Terung Dayak è anche usato come medicina tradizionale: il popolo Dayak lo usa per curare i vermi intestinali. Scommetto che non state nella pelle per fare una ricerca su google. Personalmente, non riesco a trovare parole a sufficienza per descrivervi como sono fiera del fatto di avere il Terung Dayak qui in Sarawak. Venite a trovarci e lasciatevi viziare da questa straordinaria prelibatezza. Essendo il Sarawak uno stato multirazziale, non mancate di provare altri piatti tradizionali come il Laksa Sarawak cucinato dal popolo malese, il Kolo Mee dal popolo cinese, ed il Roti Canai dal popolo indiano. E se bevete alcol, non esitate di assaggiare il liquore tradizionale, il cosiddetto vino di riso.</p>

<p>Conoscete il sushi? Sapete da quale paese viene? Domande inutili dal momento che anche un bambino sa che il sushi è originario del Giappone.</p>
<p>Oggi sono qui a parlarvi della cucina asiatica, una cucina a dir poco straordinaria. Le scelte sono tantissime, piatti squisiti dai gusti indimenticabili, la maggior parte ancora sconosciuti al resto del mondo. Voi ne conoscete qualcuno in particolare?</p>
<p>Quando si viaggia nei paesi asiatici, è naturale trovarsi a provare i cibi tradizionali. L&#8217;Asia è un continente grandissimo diviso in diversi paesi, tutti con in serbo una gran quantità di cibo locale in attesa di essere degustato.</p>
<p>Lasciate che vi racconti di un prodotto del mio paese, la Malesia, con precisione il Borneo malese. Il Terung Dayak, noto anche come Terung Assam, è una ricetta segreta dei popoli indigeni del Sarawak, riconosciuto come cibo tradizionale e tramandato di generazione in generazione.</p>
<p>In termini scientifici, il nome dato a questo ortaggio è Solanum Feroc L, una delle specie di melanzane. Si può trovare in molti paesi del sud-est asiatico come l&#8217;Indonesia, dove lo chiamano Sour Brinjal. Generalmente ha una forma rotonda ed è ricoperto da una pelle vellutata e pruriginosa. Il suo colore iniziale è di solito verde, e diventa giallo una volta maturo.</p>
<p>Secondo la storia, i suoi semi furono importati nel Sarawak dall&#8217;Indonesia dal popolo Dayak. Il Terung Dayak è un ortaggio selvatico che cresceva solo nella foresta; oggigiorno i Dayak lo piantano e lo raccolgono nelle risaie.</p>
<p>Per la gente del Sarawak, questo ortaggio si presta ad essere cucinato con pesce salato, e in particolare nella zuppa di carne di squalo salata ed essiccata. Inoltre, gli indigeni lo tagliano in piccoli pezzi per poi mangiarlo intinto in salsa sambal piccante.</p>
<p>L&#8217;unicità del Terung Dayak è che di solito è cucinato e servito durante i matrimoni e le occasioni speciali dei Dayak. Si tratta di uno dei piatti preferiti tra la gente del Sarawak ed è oggi annoverato come parte della famosa cucina della provincia.</p>
<div id="attachment_4242" style="width: 250px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="http://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/terung.jpg" rel="prettyphoto[4248]"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-4242" class=" wp-image-4242" alt="terung dayak" src="http://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/terung-300x225.jpg" width="240" height="180" srcset="https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/terung-300x225.jpg 300w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/terung-150x112.jpg 150w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/terung-366x274.jpg 366w, https://asianitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/terung.jpg 500w" sizes="(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-4242" class="wp-caption-text">zuppa di terung dayak con pesce</p></div>
<p>Il vice-ministro del Sarawak, Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Alfred Jabu, ha informato il Borneo Post che il Terung Dayak è uno dei progetti chiave (in inglese KFA &#8211; o Key Focus Activity) realizzati quest&#8217;anno dalla Divisione Ricerca del Dipartimento di Stato dell&#8217;Agricoltura (DOA). Grazie ai tempi moderni, il Terung Dayak viene ora commercializzato come prodotto di nicchia del Sarawak!</p>
<p>Altro dato interessante è che, a parte in cucina, il Terung Dayak è anche usato come medicina tradizionale: il popolo Dayak lo usa per curare i vermi intestinali.</p>
<p>Scommetto che non state nella pelle per fare una ricerca su google. Personalmente, non riesco a trovare parole a sufficienza per descrivervi como sono fiera del fatto di avere il Terung Dayak qui in Sarawak. Venite a trovarci e lasciatevi viziare da questa straordinaria prelibatezza.</p>
<p>Essendo il Sarawak uno stato multirazziale, non mancate di provare altri piatti tradizionali come il Laksa Sarawak cucinato dal popolo malese, il Kolo Mee dal popolo cinese, ed il Roti Canai dal popolo indiano.</p>
<p>E se bevete alcol, non esitate di assaggiare il liquore tradizionale, il cosiddetto vino di riso.</p>

<p>Avete mai sentito parlare di un evento chiamato la Regata del Sarawak? Gli sport acquatici sono diventate attività popolari in diversi paesi del mondo ma, a differenza di tutti gli altri paesi, nella più grande delle province della Malesia, il Sarawak, ancora praticano questo evento sportivo acquatico in modo tradizionale. La Regata del Sarawak è un evento importante con una storia molto interessante e con un particolare significato culturale. Ma c&#8217;è di più: la storia dietro la Regata del Sarawak è stata recentemente discussa dal Ministro del Turismo Datuk Amar Abang Zohari bin Tun Haji Abang Openg in un&#8217;intervista al giornale Borneo Post del Sarawak. La storia ci dice che questo sport è stato introdotto in Malesia nel 1872 durante il regno di James Brooke, il primo Rajah bianco. Durante questo periodo storico, le tribù in guerra combattevano fino alla morte per il territorio, per l&#8217;orgoglio e per inimicizie storiche. Per deviare tale energia vigorosa lontano dalla violenza, le autorità coloniali crearono una gara di fiume tra le barche tradizionali, o barche lunghe. Il motivo principale alla base di questa gara fu quello di promuovere la pace e la passione, e per unire le tribù in guerra nel Borneo convincendoli a cessare le ostilità tribali. Ci sono diverse altre storie altrettanto interessanti e anche incidenti accaduti lungo il fiume Sarawak divenuti iconici che eccitano gli storici, e che l&#8217;evento della Regata del Sarawak vuole mettere in mostra. Il più famoso è quando i cercatori d&#8217;oro cinesi Hakka attaccarono Kuching, e James Brooke fu costretto a fuggire a nuoto attraverso il fiume. Il fiume Sarawak era la porta d’entrata di Kuching, un luogo per lo scambio di beni di prima necessità, per la comunicazione e per la protezione da potenziali nemici. A livello introspettivo, i 141 anni di gare tra partecipazioni locali da allora ha subito enormi trasformazioni, soprattutto nell’ambito del servizio. Oggigiorno, la gara è ampiamente aperta a partecipanti di paesi stranieri. Questo evento annuale di canottaggio si svolge nel mese di settembre; quest&#8217;anno il Sarawak è riuscito a donare un certo sapore internazionale all’evento grazie alle gare di dragon boat che hanno attirato partecipanti provenienti da Thailandia, Singapore, Indonesia e Brunei. Il programma prevedeva gare di barche Balok con 7 rematori, di imbarcazioni Bidar con 15 e 30 rematori uomini o misti, di barche Kenyalang, di barche Tambang e di disciplina Brooke Swim, legata appunto alla mitica traversata in fuga di James Brooke; abbastanza sorprendente il fatto che ad ognuna delle barche in gara era stato dato un nome proprio! Il vincitore della gara principale è nominato il Re del Riume &#8211; o Raja Sungai. La regata del 2013 è stata vinta dalla squadra Jang Keratung che si è aggiudicata il titolo di Raja Sungai, il Trofeo Tuan Yang Terutama Challenge, così come 10.000 Ringgit (2.500 euro) in premi. Al giorno d&#8217;oggi, la Regatta del Sarawak è un evento sportivo molto atteso ed anticipato dal calendario del Ministero del Turismo, e si tiene annualmente. Il suo obiettivo non è solo quello di riunire la societa multirazziale del Sarawak, ma anche di incoraggiare il lavoro di squadra e la sportività. Se vi trovate a Kuching, a parte questo tradizionale sport d&#8217;acqua potete visitare l&#8217;expo, scattare foto lungo la riva del fiume, provare le barche tradizionali che a pochi spiccioli ti portano dall&#8217;altra parte della città, e comprare tradizionali torte lapis multistrato tradizionali del Sarawak. Per l’ anno prossimo, pianificate il vostro viaggio in anticipo per tempo, fatelo coincidere con la regata, e create la vostra esperienza personale nel Sarawak.
