Kolomee on Facebook
I think it was a couple of weeks ago when John became a member of the Facebook group, Sarawak Kolomee Appreciation Society…I couldn’t believe it, an appreciation society for a food dish?

Swiftlets are raised and bred in these house-like structures that in one glance may look like a prison. Traditionally, bird’s nest harvesting used to be done in caves like Gua Niah, but today, these buildings are used, as harvesting in the caves are really risky and dangerous.
