They say Malaysians are obsessed with food. A blunt stereotype, perhaps, but it's an easy one to believe when you're at the annual Kuching Food Festival. It ran for about a month this summer and just recently ended -- our family went for the final evening.
Queena said it reminded her of southern Delaware's
Apple Scrapple Festival (I wouldn't know, because sadly I haven't been). Only the culinary categories are more broad here in Kuching. If it's food, it's welcome here. Even if it's deep fried burgers, which may not really be a food, it's welcome here.
(We met some colleagues of ours and their two children. I just want it clear to everybody that the boy next to Dorie in all these pictures is not a random stranger.)
