Budget Friendly Kuching Adventure

#cheaptravel Just got back from a fantastic, cheap trip to Kuching, and I have to share my secret! I stayed at Apartment @ Podium Kuching, a new complex right in front of Aeon Mall. Talk about convenience! The apartment even has a swimming pool, perfect for a refreshing dip after a day of exploring. One of the best perks? The food court right downstairs! It opens at 7 AM, which was perfect for grabbing an early, super affordable Chinese breakfast before heading to the airport. They have a huge variety too! And the food in Kuching? Absolutely delicious and won't break the bank. You HAVE to try: - Kolo Mee: This classic Chinese noodle dish with sliced roast pork, minced pork, and a savory fish sauce is everywhere and a must-try. - Sarawak Laksa: Don't leave without trying this traditional Sarawakian dish. Its flavorful chicken and shrimp-based broth has a nice little kick to it! Planning your own Kuching getaway soon? Let me know if you want more tips!
