Kuala Belait is a town located in South-West of Brunei. It is the second largest town in the country, after Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei and functions as the administrative city for the Belait District.

One of the branch for Excapade sushi situated at Kuala Belait, from Miri to here is just 2 hours car drive. Before you come to this place, it will be advisable that you called and make a reservation first. A total of Brunei $48.00. Is cheap, and the food are fresh. We all like it, except mum she don't likes to eat raw fish.

Panorama view of the Sarawak River

I went to visit my friends from Vietnam, they are staying in the Riverbank Suits. And it gave me chances to be able to visit that building, I went to the 16th floor where the swimming pool is, and am able to take a panoramic picture of the Kuching City, and Sarawak River.

The Borneo, Sarawak, Matang Kubah Waterfall with Wilson Chin

Do you know how does it feels to be inside the waterfall, or dive under water. Click on the play button on my video to watch how it is look like. From the looks of the crack line, can tell that this tree just fell down not long ago. It a pity to saw this big tree like this, imagine how many years does it take for it to grow that huge and tall, and how many oxygen that it can produce for the people here. Must educate our friends to cherish and protect our forest. Notice anything special in this picture? yeah, I know you saw the good looking Borneo explore Wilson Chin, but there is also something else there, keep looking...  When you see this type of fungus in the forest, please be extremely careful, and do not, I repeat, do not put your hand into its mouth, or else.....  The water are very refreshing, and when bath there, I can feel my skin getting fairer and softer. You should come and try it next time.

The Shop that always dry its noodles at the parking lot in Song Kheng Hai food court

I'm in front of Song Kheng Hai food center, and as a local Kuching people we will know that everyday there will be two to three parking lot are occupied not by car, but by dry noodles. This shop owner will always dry its noodles at the parking lot here except raining day. Last time there is use to be a very old classic green color car parked here, but not sure where did it go already. The owner has been drying the noodles here for very long time arleady, so before I can no longer see this better took a picture to save as memory. Picture I took back in 2006 Wonder where is this car now???

The Sematan Palm Beach Resort

Sematan (also known as Simatan) is a settlement in the Lundu division of Sarawak, Malaysia. It lies approximately 67.5 kilometres (42 mi) west-north-west of the state capital Kuching. It is a small fishing village located at the far west tip of Sarawak Facing the South China Sea and a short distance from the Sarawak-Kalimantan (Indonesia) border.  My trip that day took me almost one hour of car ride, and when I reach the place. It was very sunny, but this did not last long, as after a few hours of stay in the resort, it starts to rain after that. Can't do must when its rain, and this is the monsoon season anyway, so its normal to have rain. The fisherman here all stoped going out fishing, and they will only resume after the monsoon season is over. The top photographer, Wilson Chin. Location at the town center of Sematan. There are two island there, the bigger one is called Pulau Talang-Talang Besar (The Big Talang Island) and the small one is called Pulau Talang-talan...

Lundu Retreat Resort Training Center and the Pandan Beach with Wilson Chin and Friends

My brother was at Kuching for a business trip, and he invited me to go with his friends on a weekend gateway at the Retreat Resort situated at Lundu. So drive from Kuching to Lundu its around 1 hour, a total of 80km. I like going on a road trip, especially with your buddies. We started our journey at around 9am, I lead them to the Batu Kawa old town for breakfast, and we had the famous meatballs noodles. The name "Lundu" itself is taken from a small catfish that abounds in the Sungai Lundu which flows down from Gunung Gading (Gunung Gading National Park - Home to the Rafflesia). Back in the 90s when come to Lundu and Sematan, there are no bridge to cross over to the Lundu soil, we can only use a ferry to cross over. Left of to Sematan which is another 30 minutes, and turn right is to Lundu, and that is where we are going. My car has a lot of smoke when I accelerate, I wonder what happen. I need to check my car later when I'm free. It seldom go for long di...

Visiting Mukah Town, The ex-Sago factory chimney

View Larger Map Mukah, Sarawak, Malaysia, is a coastal town which serves as the administrative center of the Mukah District in Mukah Division, Sarawak. It is located by the South China Sea, about 2.5 hours by road from the city of Sibu. That day I went to Mukah for work and travel, its was the first time that I visit Mukah. It was a one hour flight from Kuching to Mukah, with a DHC-6 twin otter 19 seats plane. The Mukah airport is just like the Limbang old airport, its a house looking airport, with a canteen, a checkin area, and a waiting area. See the man in the mirror, that's me :) First thing that I did when reach there was to eat the kolo noodles, this is like a habit. Whenever I visit a place in Sarawak, I will definitely eat their local made kolo noodles. So by far the most tasty noodles is from Sibu. In the town area, mostly are Chinese people doing business. And surprisingly Mukah has a lot of Hotels and Inn, I'm not sure that's the tourist attraction ...
