As you can see from the schedule above, various cultural dance performance and nightly entertainment had been arranged for the public. It was also a way to involve the public to join these activities, hence indirectly fostering closer relationships among the community members.  A group of local people dancing in stage  Traditional dance performance on stage The main attraction we would say would be the food stalls selling a great variety of food from ethnic to Chinese to Western food. As there were 220 food stalls there, naturally the food stalls would be competing with each other to get more sales. What used to be very popular last year may not be so this year, as the public taste changes with time. A very popular snack last year was the durian king puffs. (Musang King)  Thai food stall attracting customers with their seafood and unique decoration  A barbeque stall selling barbeque chicken wings and whole chicken This year, many people were seen queuing up for the ice cream in pot. There were 2 stalls selling this unique ice cream. One stall used a larger pot to fill the ice cream for RM6 a pot. Another stall sells a smaller pot for RM3 each. Actually, it is just a normal King's ice cream, where the top layer is sprinkled with crushed oreo and a mint leaf. Many people thought the presentation was unique and fell for it.
Many stalls were seen selling fried food. Fried food seems to be the favourite for everyone here. A fun fair was also set up at the other end for children to pay on the merry go round, train ride, flying boat etc.
Kuching Food Festival is an annual event and is a great event to showcase Sarawak especially in this Visit Sarawak Year 2014. If you are here in Kuching during this period, what you will look forward to especially, would be the many variety of food on sale there.
So, if you love food, the best time to visit Kuching would be during this period, as it is also the fruiting season where many varieties of fruits are available in the market ranging from durian to rambutan and even dabai.
