If You Visit Kuching Eat at Tribal Stove | Living in Malaysia

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 08:30 PM PDT

Yes it has great food, which thankfully there is a a great deal of in many place. What makes Tribal Stove someplace not to miss is it is the rare combination of great and generally inaccessible food.

I often find great restaurants in tourist destinations. And sometimes it is even local in a sense – but nearly always (not all, but almost) I can get very similar good dishes in any large city across the globe.

Tribal Stove had truly distinctive dishes that were also great. They have quite a few dishes, some of my favorite are wild jungle salad and tapioca leaves. The restaurant serves cuisine from Kelabit Highlands in Sarawak.

Maybe my all time favorite meal. The 3 sample items were great.

The set menu (photo above) of tea, a meat dish with 2 vegetable sides, soup and rice that was US$5 (15 MYR). It was amazing. It would be great at $20. I happened to be lucky enough to get my favorite vegetable there with my first order.

The meet dish in the triple was very good, the rice I didn't care for. But the two vegetable dishes were amazing – truly great. One the right is Lamud Busaq Keluduh (Bario Wild Flower Salad) – wild ginger flower, petai and wild chives flavored with Bario Higland salt. I believe the dish on the left was Udung Ubih (Wild Tapioca Leaf) – cassava or tapioca leaf pounded and shredded and cooked to perfection over a slow heat. The middle dish was, I believe, beef with crisp vegetables.

I have been trying other dishes which are also great but those 2 are not to be missed (you can get "small" dishes of those for $3, see photo below – two pretty easily make a meal in my opinion). If the prices triple this place is still not to be missed.

There is no restaurant I recommend to travels more strongly than I recommend Tribal Stove. If I could have one restaurant transplanted to my location so I could eat their in my home town it would be Tribal Stove. There is nothing remotely close.

I cannot adequately convey how great the food at Tribal Stove is. And by the way the other attractions around Kuching are also great.

I ate there at least 3 times in 4 days, maybe more.

Desert

I think Kari Buaq Kabar (Pineapple Curry) organic pineapple cooked in curry with Bario Highland Cinnamon and maybe that other one is Pumpkin leaf?

I didn't love the pineapple curry, it was good and worth getting if it were not for all the other amazing things to try. The Pumpkin leaf dish was very good. There was a wild fern dish which was very good and something I think that you should definitely try (how many places can you try it – I also got some at another place in Kuching that I will write about later).

Tribal Stove is located downtown near the river walk. It is directly opposite the Hilton Hotel and next to Tune Hotel.

ASEAN NCAP Commemorates High Achievers in Crash Test & Automobile Safety Supporters

Kuching, 27 August 2014 – The New Car Assessment Program for Southeast Asian Countries (ASEAN NCAP) commemorates the achievement of its test program and ASEAN automobile safety supporters in the region in the Grand Prix Awards 2014. This event, which is held in Kuching's Grand Majestic Hotel, also marked the celebration of ASEAN NCAP 1000-day establishment (27^th August is the ASEAN NCAP 993-day).

ASEAN NCAP also held its 4^th Technical Committee Meeting on 26^th August 2014, followed by the 8^th Steering Committee Meeting the next day. Also, on the 27^th August 2014, ASEAN NCAP held its inaugural ASEAN NCAP Automobile Safety Forum (001/2014) that brought the region's road safety and automobile safety players together in sharing the knowledge and developments. The first session featured ASEAN road safety experts from Brunei, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines and Laos, and closed by a keynote speech by the former MIROS' Director-General, Prof. Dr. Ahmad Farhan Sadullah, entitled "NCAP: A business case proposition for nation sustainability drive".

The forum continued with the session called "The Galaxy of NCAP" with latest developments being presented by the representatives from Korea NCAP (KNCAP), Japan NCAP (J-NCAP), Australasian NCAP (ANCAP), Global/Latin NCAP, as well as the ASEAN NCAP. The forum ended with the third session for the "Japanese Crash Testing Technology Symposium" that comprised of technology providers namely Kyowa, Photron, Iwasaki, IST Japan, Hodogayagiken and Sinfonia.

The Grand Prix Awards 2014 primarily commemorates the achievement of the cars involved in ASEAN NCAP assessment since its first testing (pilot phase: divided into sub-phases 1, 2 and 3) until the latest release in August 2014 (ASEAN NCAP Quarter 3 2014 August Release). It also featured other award segments for safety technology (OEM and car maker category), media contribution award, and the appreciation award to organizations and individuals involved in the Technical & Steering Committee of ASEAN NCAP.

ASEAN NCAP Chairman, Prof. Dr. Wong Shaw Voon, who is also the Director-General of the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) said, "I'm very indebted to all parties who has helped MIROS and realized our NCAP dream so far. It started with a small effort with outdoor crash testing, the paper-based star-rating evaluation in MyVAP (Malaysian Vehicle Assessment Program) and today we managed to have the NCAP not only for Malaysia but also for the benefit of the ASEAN region. I'm also indebted to the government of Malaysia for putting the trust on us, MIROS and ASEAN NCAP, to introduce this kind of intervention in road safety with both financial and technical support."

ASEAN NCAP Secretary-General, Mr. Khairil Anwar Abu Kassim, added, "We hope ASEAN NCAP will grow stronger and be one of the influential platforms for car safety as well as for road safety as a whole. I'm looking forward for healthy competition among the manufacturers to produce safer cars with commendable safety standard. I personally looking forward for a 5-Star car with an affordable price in the region, and perhaps with only one or two variants per model for ASEAN region with safety not being compromised. We will see the result in the next Grand Prix two years from now."

Hello Skinfrosters,

Today is the day!

Sephora has finally opened it's doors on this special day 1st September 2014 at The Spring Shopping Mall.

It is the first ever Sephora store in East Malaysia!!

I am lucky to be invited by The Spring to attend this lovely VIP Sephora Preview.

The exclusive Sephora event started at 11am til 1pm, emcee by non other than the gorgeous Chien. Invited guests were showered with drinks, champagne, and some finger food, while being entertained with performances by local dancers from Street Family from Soul Dance and Vanity Crew from Street Shock dance studio.

The Sephora staffs gave a special welcoming performances too and it was a hit! Well done girls😄

After the performances, we were welcomed to first hand enjoy what Sephora has to offer. All the ladies eagerly rushed into to test out the products first hand before it's official opening to the public at 2pm later.

Sephora houses not only their own private label, but also plenty of international brands as well.

Lots of pictures ahead!

NYX counter always so popular!

So pretty right? Look at the colors 😄

Glamglow!! It's the most famous mask widely used by Hollywood celebrities because it's a miracle mask that cleans, unclog pores, tightens and your skin will appear much healthier after use.
