The kopitiam made famous by late celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain. Come try our signature kaya toasted bread. Also, do sample the delicious Sarawak laksa, rojak and kolo mee. -- This listing is maintained by BYC Digital. --

Use a Grab taxi to go there. The crowd was so happening, we were advised to just dump ourselves to any empty table. This place is so in demand! Apart from laksa, the kolo mee and popiah is dirt cheap (MYR3.50). All tasty and super delicious. Will definitely go again.

This is a fantastic local eating experience in Kuching which we were recommended to go to. Itâs on top of a multi-storey car park (donât let that put you off) in the centre of Kuching. When you get there itâs a bit manic (at least around 7.30pm), full of local people. The atmosphere is very buzzy and fun. I think it is more or less just seafood. Basically you choose your fish from a stall (not a street stall but essentially a restaurant) and they cook it and bring it to your table. We were recommended stall 25 which did not disappoint and stall 33 was also recommended if 25 was busy (they are next door to one another - not sure about the numbering as I think there were only about 10 stalls). Iâm sure the others would be great too. The food was delicious - we went for sea bass (I think), crab and squid with some noodles - absolutely delicious and it only cost 87 ringgits which I still struggle to believe was the correct price. Go there, itâs great.

We have stayed at the Miri Marriott a fair few times over the last couple of months and have dined at Zest in the morning for breakfast and in the evening for dinner. A very clean environment, but very busy, so if you prefer a quiet meal this might not be the place for you. Breakfast - a pretty impressive selection of food, breads, cakes, egg station, noodle station, cereals, fresh fruit, pancakes, juices, selection of teas and coffee...Dinner - lots of food on offer but I personally struggle to find things that go well together from the buffet selection or the fish is always gone before I get there. The seafood station looks amazing but it isn't very clear on what you can have or how to have it, so I haven't been brave enough to try it yet. There is usually a beef stew on offer in the buffet area and the taste of carrots and mushrooms in it are delicious...Watch out for bones in it though, we got caught out with the children. Green steamed vegetables are very nice and fresh. We generally make a trip to the BBQ area for the children and gather a big plate of BBQ food and add a plate of wedges and salad etc. Ice cream is yummy and deserts always look and taste very good.Dear JSRKTH,Greeting from Zest Restaurant !Thank you for choosing Zest as dining venue for your dinner recently. I would like thank you for your feedback and suggestion. Our team are happy to hear that you enjoy your day at Zest Restaurant.Have a good day! RegardsGunalanF&B Manager

We had a sumptuous lunch with chicken cooked in bamboo which you need to order before hand. The decor is simple and service homely. Great for an unusual but not too adventurous meal.

My partner and I tried this resto coz of the good reviews but it was a very disappointing experience. We both enjoyed the ambience and service but the food and drinks were disappointing. We ordered ceasar wrap, carbonara and chicken cordon bleu. The carbonara sauce tasted like its premade sauce you can buy from the supermarket, have tried so much better. The cordon bleu chicken breast was dry. For the price of the food its not worth it. Also the drinks was a bit tasteless and my bfâs drink which was the royal calamsi has seeds and calamansi skin blended?? I was just as confuse as he was. The ceasar wraps, on the other hand, i suprisingly enjoyed.We appreciate you taking the time to write this feedback. Please accept our sincere apologies if our Pasta Cabonara and Chicken Cordon Bleu were not to your liking. We take all reviews seriously and we try to conduct our own post-mortem as best as we can. We do not serve pre-bought Carbonara sauce as how you perceive it, instead we cook it à la minute where it is prepared to order. As our kitchen is Halal certified, you will never taste the true Carbonara sauce here because of the ingredients used. We will not include Pasta Carbonara in our upcoming new menu.Once again, we thank you for your thoughts and will keep them in mind as we strive to improve in any way that we can.Best regards,Restaurant Manager

Who would have thought you could come across a gem like this in Borneo! Well the Drunken food (beef and chicken sausages) was awesome as too were the Swedish meatballs. Great service and a relaxed atmosphere. A great discovery. I will eat here again next time in Kuching.

Set in a Kayan kampung style farm hut, Lepau is a homegrown restaurant serving Sarawakan food. No pork or lard. Though it is non-AC, it is quite cosy especially in the evening with all its neon lights.The captain patiently explained some of the tradition dishes as we were a little ignorant. Food was great and the price was very affordable. RM80 for 3 adults.We tried the pansuh chicken and the wrapped brown barrio rice for the very first time. Rice was healthy and a little starchy but tasted good. Chicken stuffed in bamboo stick cooked over open fire was tender with strong flavour of ginger, galangal, lemongrass and other spices. Gave me the impression of clean taste and not oily.Belacan ladies finger was spicy with lot of flavours. Went well with the rice. Prawns Fiona (Tepus) were crispy with sweet and sour sauce. It was deep fried with tinge of ginger flavour. You actually can eat the prawn without removing the shell. Very crispy. Vegetable sweet corn soup was not as creamy as it should be.We had an enjoyable dinner here. Portion was adequate for us. Service was courteous. You know how popular this restaurant is judging by the huge number of patrons.

One of the best bar in Kuching. Both Andy and Grace are very friendly and will make sure you feel at home. The price for their beers is very cheap and they do serve traditional drinks such as langkau and tuak a must try when you're in Sarawak. A must visit if you are in Kuching and they have a beautiful bar counter made out of Borneo iron wood.Hi Watson, thank you so much for your kind review! We all really appreciate you taking the time. It is especially relevant as we tend to think of TripAdvisor in terms of our international guests, but you show us that locals use it too. Thanks again bro, hope we see you again soon

I can not begin to say enough about Inah house. Trudy and her husband Colin are the most wonderful, friendly and trustworthy people one could meet. We worked with Trudy from Australia to arrange all of our activities. We started out time with them by doing Trudy's cooking class. She met us at the market to buy the food and then on to the cooking class. I would rate this activity as an 11 out of 10. Even those in the group who were not enthusiastic to begin with loved the morning. We were in Kuching for 4 days and prior to arriving Trudy had helped me chose all ouf our activities and arrange them for us. We then went on to do jungel tours and visit the local longhouse village etc. It was all wonderful. My recommendation to anyone visiting Kuching is to work with Trudy for suggestions and then book it through her. All the guides were amazing. We only had to pay a reasonable deposit and she is the best person to make recommendations. We booked our hotel seperately but everything else was through Indah House. N.B. Colin her husband is also great fun.
