Hello all,

I just arrived in Kuching and have some basic questions for those living in Kuching:

- Is there a company that delivers drinking water in Kuching? I am having to purchase 1.5L bottles from the supermarket and it is getting to be a hassle.

- Is there a really big Hypermarket in Kuching? I am looking for one that is big that has everything from groceries to applicances to furniture.

- Where can one buy stuff in bulk like buying a case of Coke rather than buying cans individually?

- Where can one buy good cuts of beef? The only beef that I see being sold are frozen cuts of blade and other lower quality cuts. I am looking for good cuts like strip loin steak, prime rib roast, filet mignon, etc

- And finally is there a Korean grocery store in Kuching? I am looking for Kimchi and sticky rice.

Thanks for any help.

Peter

Hi, I believe you probably have gotten your answers by now or you may have already left Kuching.

Anyway for those who are coming to Kuching;
* Hypermarts:
- The Spring Mall
- Boulevard Shopping Mall Kuching

You can probably get most item there.

Cheers!
