During the Gawai Holiday, We decided to went Sarikei (her home town) for holiday to recharge our mind and visit her parent and brother.
Before starting our journey, we went for breakfast with friends. Luckily this dim sum was nice cause the Kueh Chap I ordered was awful until I can't finish it. (Chen Fatt Kopitiam Premier 101)
Soon we finish our breakfast, the long journey begin. Heavy traffic along the way and there was alot of new patches to the road made the road abit nice to drive else it would be very bumping. hmmm... Election Coming?
How long he has to wait for the bus to come? Boring ....
Our friends here suddenly decide to go Bintulu on the same day. We reached Sarikei about 1:30pm and they came look for us around 4:30pm. We then meet up with them and ate Kampua noodle in town. Nice. Then, they fast and furious to Bintulu and reach there around 9pm.

We drove back to Sarikei before Chinese New Year Eve this year. It is fun to drive your own compare to using the long distance public transport. Listen to my favourite music and stop and rest where ever I want. :D It took me 5 hours drive to reached Sarikei. :P
We stop and rest a while at a small town called Lachau. There is a small market that sold variety of foods and handicrafts.
During New Year Eve, Her Brother decided to put up 8 long firecrackers. Wow, interesting. Normally, I just put up 1 or 2. This must be fun.
The Reunion dinner started soon after the amazing firecracker show. hehe ... Lots of satisfaction, smile and laughter. Huat Ah!!!
Gong Xi Fa Cai.
Raining for quite sometime already, so the weather was cooling. So, decided to cook a hot and spicy Laksa. The ingredients was easy to find and easy to prepare. Invited my parent and brother to came over and have this laksa dinner together.
This basically what we need to cook Laksa. 250g Laksa paste. 200ml Coconut milk. 1 pack of Rice noodle. Chicken meat. Shrimps. Fried eggs. Bean sprouts. All ingredients easy to get at market or supermarket.
Soak the rice noodle in room tempreture water for 1 hours. After that, drain the water. Boil some water enough to cover the entire rice noodle and cook for like 2 - 3 minutes. Then, take out the rice noodle and set aside for cooling.
This shrimps have to be real fresh, otherwise you will spoiled the entire things. :P
Some people like to put bean sprouts some do not like. In this case, I put some of it.
Use a cooking bowl and cook some water until boiled. Put in the meat and cook until well done. Drain the water and set the meat aside. Slice it later on when it cool down.
Fried some eggs and slice it.
Boiled some water and put the shrimps into it. Take it out when the shrimps become orange.
Boil 2000 -2500ml water. When it boiled, Put the Laksa paste into it and stir well. Pour in the 200ml coconut milk and stir well. let the soup cooked for another 10 - 15 minutes.
While waiting the soup to be cooked, arrange the rice noodle and the other ingredients in to a bowl.
The soup will be ready by now. Close the stove and bring the big bowl of soup to the table. Then pour some soup into the bowl with the rice noodle and other ingredients in it. There you go, The Sarawak Laksa ready to be served. Yummy. Happy trying.
