SARAWAK actor Henry Golding returned to his hometown Kuching and had “mee kolo” (pic), Harian Metro reported.

The 36-year-old had the local dish and “Milo peng” (iced Milo) at the popular kopitiam, Chong Choon Cafe, according to the report.

“If you know ... you know,” the father of two wrote simply in a social media post.

A fan responded: “Welcome back. I should have gone to have breakfast there. Red mee kolo, my favourite!”

Accompanying the post is a photo of the actor enjoying the dry noodles as he shows off his tattoos.

The daily said it was not known if Golding was back home for work or just a quick holiday, noting that he was not accompanied by his wife or their two children.

Golding became a global star after starring in the box-office hit Crazy Rich Asians in 2018.

> A sun bear, which had been destroying the fruit orchards of residents of Kampung Batu Melintang in Jeli, Kelantan, was caught on Sunday by the Kelantan Wildlife and National Parks Department (Perhilitan).

Berita Harian reported Kelantan Perhilitan director Mohamad Hafid Rohani as saying that after the animal was captured in a trap, it was checked by the Perhilitan vets before it was released into the wild away from human habitat.

He added that the traps remain as another sun bear is still at large in the area.

“Perhilitan of Jeli district received a complaint on Sept 30 from the villagers about two sun bears seen roaming around the village and the orchards.

“The sun bears created fear among the villagers and on the same day, Perhilitan set traps for the sun bears after an investigation,” said Mohamad Hafid.

He said fruits were used to bait the animals, which were believed to have left their habitat in the Gunung Basor Forest Reserve.

“The villagers were advised to work in pairs and not to work nights without bright lights as the other sun bear is still around,” he said.
