We're kind of in a holding pattern at the moment, as we await Nigel's surgery, which is scheduled for this coming week. It's all a bit surreal, to be honest, but we've deliberately kept ourselves on the trot, so as not to have to think about it.
On our National Day morning walk (31 August), we reconnoitred the renovation of the Impiana Hotel. Looking promising:
And there's a fair amount of building and painting, old and new, that we've not recorded to date:
St Peter's progresses
They seem to be going crazy with the bamboo in the Jubilee Gardens
And here's our current leader
Spotted this one on the way back in the car last week
Not sure why we've never photographed this before, as it's a very cute building
And food...
On the recommendation of one of the (many) Grab drivers who have taken us to various hospitals over the last week or so, we visited this really awesome eatery. Rows and rows of totally yummy dishes:
Another eating place of note this week was Heng Heng, where we went for dinner with friends:
These are the crispy oysters for which they are renowned, but they also served excellent lamb and vegetable dishes
Other treats of the week:
Windmeal's Teh C Special (especially good because this version wasn't too sweet)
A big pork pau from Hock Hai Dim Sum is quintessential comfort food
Kee Fui mooncakes from our kind landlady
"Black gold beads"
And finally, today's little expedition took us over the bridge and back:
There's a house right behind this sign... You can't help wondering how the real estate agents would talk their way around this one...
Kuching's kucing convention
Rumah Kopi, Jalan Padungan. We're often to be found here...
