No jetlag
Three nights after landing from Europe, I’m happy to report that I haven’t had any jetlag. That’s quite unheard of, for me, especially flying towards the east.
I’ve had not trouble falling asleep and have been OK to wake with the alarm at 0715 each morning. And my nature calls were nearly on local time too! Amazing!
I credit this to flying back on four flights over about 30h rather than one single flight. Perhaps when your body clock is so mucked up, you can snap it back into local time more easily?
Food festival
Tonight, my bro took me to the first night of Kuching Food Festival 2025. I had been before two years ago and knew what to expect. It was just as good as I remember with plenty of yummy (read deep-fried or sugary) food.
I started with a fish and a prawn otak-otak before having some kind of baked Chinese meat pie. The pie was actually a black pepper pork patty wrapped in a bready dough and then baked. Superb!
Following that, I had a whole squid barbecued in sambal. For MYR18, it was actually good value compared to my dessert.
Lastly, my dessert was terrible at MYR10 for a brown sugar hotteok (Korean pancake, made from a dough rather than batter).
I had a little bit of my bro’s amazing-looking dessert of shaved ice. It looked huge served in a paper cone but the cone was just decorative and the contents were held in a bowl sitting on top of it.
