Vividly colourful layer cakes (“kek lapis” in Malay) are a specialty of Sarawak. During our three days in Kuching, we see bakeries and pop-up stalls selling layer cakes everywhere we go. They’re eye-catchingly bright, in technicolour and a mind-boggling array of flavours.
On our third and final afternoon in Kuching we visit a layer cake ...

Green chicken curry, Chat Thai Thaitown, Haymarket, Sydney

Roast duck (boneless) noodles, dry style, Good Fortune Roast Duck House
