We ventured into Padungan, a historical part of Kuching with heritage shops that have been trading for more than 100 years. Amongst the old establishments, there is a restaurant that is a must visit for anyone visiting Kuching, famous for its 海南鸡饭 (Hainanese Chicken Rice) and 卤肉 (Braised Pork). I found our from the owner that the recipe has been passed down through generations in the family lasting more than 80 years. Little Hainan is one of those restaurants with a passionate owner and staff that are proud of their food and provides great customer service. Please do go check them out and enjoy!

After 11 years in the corporate world, I have decided to take a career sabbatical. We finally started our journey, leaving Perth Australia on 3rd November 2022 for Malaysia and Japan.

We initially planned this back in 2016, soon after Tokyo was named the next host city for the 2020 Summer Olympics but COVID affected our plans. In 2021, we decided to revisit our plan and make some adjustments. After a few negotiations and lots of planning, I was approved for a 15 months sabbatical.

First stop will be my hometown, Kuching, Malaysia. There, we will spend roughly three months immersing in the local culture. I want my children to experience the rich local culture and learn about life where their father was born and raised.

We will be sharing more videos of our adventure in Kuching and Japan!
