Sarawak Laksa

Kuching's Sarawak laksa is still the best, can eat it for every meal. People elsewhere just can't cook it as authentic as this.

Chinese Food in Sarawak




Here are some Chinese food one can find in various parts of Sarawak. The roasted/crispy pork (1st photo) is the best I've ever tasted.

Sarawak food in Puchong



There's this stall in Puchong that sells Sarawak noodles: Sarawak laksa, kampua (not kolo) mee. Can't say the former is that authentic, the latter is though.

Curry Fish Head in Setapak


It is said to be a customary food excursion each time they have visitors from over this side.

Afternoon Tea at Esquire Kitchen




Puchong yet again, this time at Esquire Kitchen for afternoon tea. Shanghai dumpling, Hakka dumpling, tau fu fa.

Eating in Puchong









Back again in Puchong, ordered some dishes: braised pork, marmite chicken (no more marmite taste, quite nice), ...

Pangkor Local Food














































1) Pangkor Ikan Bakar (similar to Melaka Portugis style). (2) Fish ball sup. (3) This Mamix Chicken,very nice (4) Fried LaLa (5) Pangkor Curry Mee (I realized that Pangkor ppl like to use curry powder, so the taste is like Mangi Curry mee. (6) Pangkor Cu Cheon Fan, quite unique (7) Pangkor "Le Hu Pau" / Otak otak, totally no the same as Muar otak otak, although look like Northen otak-otak, the taste is different, no curry leaf. (8) Pangkor Lam / Loh mee. (9) Pangkor Laksa. This is one of most surprises found in Pangkor local food, another variant, the taste is more like to Perlis laksa, less fish but more vegetable.

Laksa Sarawak


Laksa Sarawak, anyone knows how it differs from laksa Penang, or laksa KL?

To me, there's real laksa (the former), and there's other chaplang styles of laksa (the latter).
Then again, even within the former style, there are chaplang versions.

Tomato Kuay Teow in Sarawak


Tomato kuay teow = wat tan hor - soya sauce + tomato sauce.
Strange as it may seem, my liking for this particular dish is due to my father bombarding me with this dish (yes, my opinion was not sought) whenever we went out for breakfast during childhood.

Hakka Mee Pok in Nilai


It is customary whenever I visit L in Nilai, to have breakfast before I depart.
This time it was to a seeming Hakka noodle place. I can't even remember the name of this place now. To be honest, I was kind of disappointed, it turned out to be mee pok disguised with Hakka noodle ingredients. I thought the Hakka noodle's noodle is supposed to be narrower? Certainly, they are so at the other Hakka noodle stalls I've eaten at, and they did not disappoint, unlike this one.

Eating at Loon Sing, Nilai







L's treat; I reckon not many have tasted the reddish chicken cooked with hong zhau wine.

Eating at roadside stalls in Seri Kembangan




Had a craving for yuan-yang, the real kind, i.e. kuay teow and bihun. Then C recommended to try the sai kua tai: this humongous jug (drink directly from it) of watermelon juice. Kept drinking and still could not reach the bottom.

Eating at Yuen Steamboat, Sunway




My friend C drove me here to have a try, said it was worth checking out. Great stuff, it was packed full of sardines (typo, I meant to say people). This must be the first time that I was eating at a relaxed pace at a buffet venue. Obviously, I was only eating from the tomyam side of the boat.

Eating in Dengkil again




Ok, call me outdated, I
really did not know until my friends ordered these dishes, that these days people yuan-yang everything (yes, meat), not just the hor fun and bihun. Not a bad idea though, they look nicer compared to using separate small plates.

Pan Mee in Setapak





Setapak version of pan mee; G's treat. The soupy one was ordered by a friend: I always say water spoils the taste, yet why do people (e.g. my father and this friend of mine) prefer soupy noodles?

Eating in Nilai









Our Nilai friend recommended this place. Grand hall, nice ambience; we were surprised there were so few people eating there. Being adventurous, someone ordered bittergourd cooked with sour plums, and some strange duck concoction.
