Harvest Festival: Culinary Celebration of a Bountiful Harvest

Its the mid of June already, and it is already the mid of year, but in Malaysia, which in this case, Sarawak, we are like usual, showered with the blessing of plentiful celebration and for this month, we are celebrating the Harvest Festival or locals called it "Hari Gawai".

And what is celebration without food eh? it is like beer without ciggies or facebook without status :)

Here, Grand Margherita Hotel offer great food upon the wonderful celebration (these food are local delicacy which are served most of the time during Harvest Festival, and how could such opportunity be wasted right? with some of other bloggers, we were invited by the hotel for free lunch. And it was as LEGEND...(wait for it) DARY! LEGENDARY as Patrick Neil Harris' birthday yesterday :) Talk no more, lets scroll on!

Venue:Orchid Garden (coffee house)

Among the crazy lucky people whom I really had fun with and you can also check on their blog for more by clicking their names!

Too bad people, when can have it as buffet style, but you can order as a la carte style, but still! No worries, you can still taste every richness of those food. Their main dish, Ayam and Ikan Pansuh. FUHH!!! The cook must lived somewhere far far away. The pansuh taste so good, I almost wanted to ask whether I can 'tapao' (take away) some, home... apart from that, The terong (eggplant) sup with meat, rib, GOSH! That make me go crazy! *running around and around swinging hands up and down*. They are really good.

Of course there are plenty other effective saliva stimulation's food provided, and you can get it all at Grand Margherita!

It is just another day which I felt extremely Lucky, and thankful that I made it through. Although there are plenty of issues, either political, social or whatever it might concern, I am still standing proud saying, "Proud to be Sarawakian". For the food, fuhh! there is no other word in English dictionary that I could find to describe it accurately. It is almost lunch time now, do not know where to head? Go and check out Grand Margherita, for readers from other places, rainfest is almost hitting town, come here earlier, enjoy other things, there are plenty of other things in Sarawak to check out other than rain festival itself!
