Restaurants cuisine du monde Kuching

The neon letters of this pocket restaurant can be spotted from afar... along with the crowds who come here at certain times to stock up on kebabs of all kinds. Very popular with the locals, the dining room, and especially the few tables on the terrace, fill up fast in the evenings. The chef works with prestidigitator-like speed to bring out a host of skewers cooked on wooden sticks: crab, tofu, oysters, vegetables or, more original, hundred-year-old or quail eggs. Most are steamed or fried. Nasi Lemak is also highly prized.

This unassuming canteen is sure to delight fans of the local scene. In a small street lined with restaurants, just up the road from the Topspot Foodcourt, this establishment serves the great classics of Malaysian dining. Nasi goreng (fried rice), mee goreng (fried noodles), laksa sarawak, chicken... You'll find the same old plastic tables and chairs, and the same heterogeneous non-decor in a large, airy room. The bravest will eat like the locals... with their right hand! A hearty meal to accompany iced tea or lemonade.

With its traditional wooden storefront, small red lanterns and friendly terrace, you'll effortlessly recognize this establishment as you stroll along Jalan Padungan. Originally a teahouse designed to introduce the culture of the Chinese tea ceremony(Gong Fu Cha), this Taiwanese institution later expanded its menu to become a restaurant. The menu offers a wide variety of noodles, with more or less spicy recipes, and a multitude of side dishes, but you shouldn't miss the chance to try one of their excellent teas.

Situated on the banks of the river, this outdoor establishment faces Fort Margherita. It bears the name of the settler who built it in his wife's name. Shady and airy, with a lovely traditional decor, it's a pleasant place to sit down for a romantic drink and contemplate the landscape, especially at sunset. The menu also offers breakfast, lunch and dinner. Their laksas in particular stand up very well, but there are many other great classics as well as Western options.

The warm, welcoming setting, with its exposed sandblasted brick and wood panelling, is reminiscent of a New York brownstone or Vermont warehouse. The long hall features a long bar opening onto a verdant courtyard. Mediterranean cuisine is served, with an emphasis on Spanish products. This is to be expected, since the chef hails from Barcelona. Try the platters of Spanish cheeses and hams to share, or the tapas for a convivial meal. Wide choice of wines and cocktails.

This is an excellent restaurant for learning about the culinary specialties of Sarawak's different ethnic groups. Authentic Dayak and Orang Ulu cuisine is served in a pleasant, well-kept setting. It's hard to make a choice as the dishes are unknown to us, but it is possible to choose a tasting menu if you come with several people. A little hard to find, it's located in a maze of streets, close to the Telang Usan Hotel. Reservations the day before are essential, as the establishment is very popular with locals.
