FOOD: sarawak, malaysia...

one of the first things that i noticed in malaysia that was different from indonesia was the number of chinese things.. people, characters, and food.. in indonesia the history with the chinese is less friendly and it is not legal to display chinese characters..
kuching had so much amazing food ranging from traditional dayak fare to a variety of noodles in brothy goodness.. i kept thinking: 'this is so amazing, why have i never seen any of this in nyc?'
