Sarawak

Semenggoh orangutan feeding 3pm — 4 showed up. Grab from waterfront RM26, 35 min. Not wild but ethical rehab. Feb/March fruiting season = fewer sightings (check their FB for daily reports). Afternoon light better for photos than 9am slot.

Bako day trip — book boat from Bako HQ jetty morning, register park entry online. Proboscis monkeys at HQ, bearded pigs everywhere, sea stacks on Telok Pandan Kecil trail. Return boat 3pm. Full day, start 7am from Kuching.

Sarawak laksa ranking so far: Choon Hui > Chong Choon > random hotel breakfast. RM8–12 bowl. Kopitiam culture here is strong — kolo mee for second breakfast, no judgement.

Waterfront promenade at dusk — golden dome parliament, sampan rides RM1, main bazaar for kek lapis Sarawak. City is compact: walk Carpenter Street, India Street, finish at Top Spot seafood. 3 days is sweet spot.

Cultural Village half day — traditional longhouses, dance show 4pm. Good if rain kills Bako plans. 45 min from city. Not essential if short on time but fills the culture box nicely.
