Day V: Broken Promises
Since our flight out was at 1530, we couldn't do very much that day. We slept in a little and did our packing. POD then brought us out to Top One Foodcourt for a very good Sarawak Laksa. Great rice noodles and gravy so fantastic that you want to lap it all up. After a little more last minute shopping, POD sent us to the airport. Upon arrival, we found out that our flight was CANCELLED. The staff claim that they had notified all passengers. A check on their CRM system revealed that they had sent KH an e-mail. KH receive neither SMS nor e-mail. But anyway, who the hell checks e-mail on their holidays! No guarantee for cancelled flights, only for those that are delayed. Our complaints were ignored. But I think Air Asia is not making good on their promise with all the irate letters I see in The Star lately.
Seeing that we had 4 hours to kill, POD brought us back to his place for lunch. His mum had cooked up a storm! Stewed pork, chicken and eggs, fried mini fish (crispy little buggers), soy sauce prawn, mixed vegetables and chinese sausages. With lunch out of the way, we followed POD blazer shopping for a while. His mum then brought us to her relative's stall for dessert. KH got to try Meitahon (kinda like White Lady, but without the milk) and the rest of us had cendol (I didn't quite like the lack of palm sugar). She also ordered for us pan-fried glutinous rice coins with green bean paste (very fragrant) and char kuey. Both very delicious.
Our second time to the airport successfully saw us onto the plane. The rain had caused a bit of a delay. SK picked us up at LCCT and brought us to dinner at Duck Wang, Serdang. A little-known restaurant in a light industrial area. A simple and delicious meal of steamed siakap, beancurd with minced meat and some vegetables. We then dropped KH at his home and headed back...
It was really a fantastic holiday with KH-- The company was great (cheers to POD and Nic); I got to spend quality time with my baby (;P); The food was superb; The pace was good (neither too rushed nor boring); The places were interesting (there's so much more of Sarawak to see). There was talk of a second trip back to Kuching next year... we'll see... we'll see...
...THE END...

Roommate with JJ ar?
As for trip to Kuching, the host didn't know there's no public holiday in June. The two May public holidays are out due to various reasons. No holiday in July either.
