Taking in the sights from the vantage point of the Mukah Riverfront
The river, an important artery — flowing into the South China Sea — a sight to behold!
The beautiful town of Mukah — a harmonious blend of modernity and tradition
There’s that special feeling — a warm welcome to all — come, add exciting new hues to Mukah’s evolving and vibrant canvas.
The heart-warming smiles of the people in this gem of a place — truly, one feels right at home!
The Boatman Mr. Mazalan and his wife — our gracious tour guides — flying the flag of hospitality
The boat ride along the Mukah River — the estuary and South China Sea beckon — the sights and sounds a feast for the senses
A hive of activity — the fishermen cast their nets — it’s the prawn season — fresh from the river to the table!
One of the highlights of our visit to Mukah — experiencing the region’s culinary delights
On arrival at the riverfront — breakfast was ready at the table — Nasi Lemak, Pulut Panggang and hard-boiled eggs with coffee
Dinner at Memey’s Kitchen Hut — savouring the bounty of the land, river and sea
Including freshly prepared umai and an assortment of sago delicacies!
Mukah, an exemplar of Sarawak’s treasure trove of culture, adventure, nature, food and festivals
A leisurely stroll in the wet market, chatting with the umai vendors — one can feel Sarawak’s special brand of unity
As we boarded our flight home to Kuching, we knew we would be back soon
Mukah, a gem in Sarawak’s heartland.
