Corn Fritters and Fresh Tomato Salsa Recipe

It has been awhile since I wrote a recipe post. So I thought I’d write one today instead of continuing the Kuching Series posts. Today I will be sharing a recipe for Corn Fritters and Fresh Tomato Salsa. It is a simple recipe that  packs a punch!

Before we go on there is something I want to clarify. This recipe and other meatless recipes I’ve posted are definitely meatless but I cannot guarantee that it is vegan or vegetarian friendly. I usually include garlic, onion, eggs or milk in my cooking. To my knowledge these are acceptable to some vegetarians but not to others. So it is up to you to decide what you will need to omit and substitute .

Back to the recipe.

Shopping in Kuching, Sarawak: Part 1 – City Center

I often find people asking me “Do people in Sarawak still live in trees?”. Usually they are just teasing me but sometimes….you can just tell that they aren’t.

I will tell you where are the best places to shop in Kuching and why.

What happened to my Turbofire workouts?

Hello everyone! Thought I would take a break from travel related stuff to update about Turbofire. As you can see, I have not updated the chart.

I have unfortunately had to stop doing the workout . Its a shame really as I was starting to enjoy it and really get into a routine. But my back is in no state to do any exercise that involves jumping and lots of turning at the moment. The injury is a recurring one that came about due to my poor coordination which caused me to slip and fall, hitting my lower back against a rock while tramping years ago. I may have to succumb to going to the doctor who is likely to tell me what she has said time and time again – do aqua exercises or walking.

Sightseeing and Activities to do in Kuching, Sarawak: Part 3

Hello! I am back with Part 3 of the Kuching sightseeing and activities series. In Part 2, I promised that I will touch on more…energy expelling activities. So lets get to it.

Sarawak as a whole is well known for its eco-tourism. But sometimes, you just do not have the time to travel to other cities in the state – which is what happened to us. So we settled for activities that were within the Kuching vicinity and would only take 1/2 day or 1 day.
