Malaysian-born actor Henry Golding has returned to Sarawak and is already making the most of his time indulging in his favourite dishes.
In an Instagram update on Sunday (Oct 29), Golding, 36, delighted fans after sharing a photo of himself enjoying a bowl of mee kolok and a glass of iced milo at a kopitiam in Kuching.
The Hollywood star – who’s of British-Iban parentage – was dressed casually in a black singlet, showing off his “bunga terung” tattoos on his shoulders.
According to a research paper published in the International E-Journal of Advances in Social Sciences, the “bunga terung” bears substantial symbolism among the Iban ethnic group in Borneo and is “worn by Iban men who have attained puberty to signify entry into adulthood”.
“If you know... You know,” Golding wrote and added an emoji of the Malaysian flag.
At press time, the actor’s post has gained over 73,000 likes. Many netizens warmly welcomed his return to Sarawak while others said they hoped to bump into him during his time here.
“Yummy Malaysian food! Welcome home,” one netizen wrote.
Another also commented: “Say hello when you're in KL to continue your Malaysian food adventure.”
Golding, who hails from Betong, rose to international fame after portraying the handsome Nick Young in the hit rom-com Crazy Rich Asians. He also starred in Last Christmas, Snake Eyes and Persuasion.
On Oct 11, Golding and his Taiwanese wife Liv Lo announced that they had welcomed a second daughter, Florence, on Sept 9.
The couple, who tied the knot in Malaysia in August 2016 before moving to Los Angeles in 2020, had their first daughter Lyla in March 2021.
