So for this first posting of a sumptious new series, we have photos and recommendations from our friend GL (Gourmet Lawyer or Glutton Lawyer?) ... thanks pal!
Fried Hockchiew Mee
This one is from Sarawak Club, and is one of the better ones in town.
Oh-chien aka Oyster Omelette
Anchor House Restaurant was famous for this dish. This one was ordered at one of the new eateries which have mushroomed at the new shops along Jalan Song. The batter was crispy and the oyster oh so juicy ...
Laksa
Ahh, one of the Big Two defining dishes of Kuching ... together with Kolo Mee, of course. Everyone has his or her favourite place and preparation.
For GL, the shop with the best laksa is from Foody Goody (click here to check out the posting where a bunch of us had breakfast there). This outlet is also one of the most expensive - law of supply and demand?
Satay
This is from Lauyakeng, the temple along Carpenter Street. Very popular especially over the weekend but it is non-halal pork satay.
Fishball Tauhu Tanghoon Soup
This one is also from Lauyakeng.
Lauyakeng view
Here's a picture of the eating place at lauyakeng with the satay stall in the foreground. the fishball tanghoon stall is next to it and behind them is one of the best kolo mee stall in kuching. Ask for 'the lot' when you order. prawns, cha sio, liver, kidney, minced pork, fish cake, fish ball and sliced lean pork. yum!
Kuching Pork Leg Rice
This was from a shop at Padungan Road right next to Fook Hoi cafe. One of my favourites, though some say the stall opposite the old Rex theatre is better.
Our appreciation to GL for going on that gastronomic tour of Kuching to bring us these photos. I know it was an extremely difficult task, but someone had to do it. Anyway, I'm sure he's more rounded now.

Watch for future posts in this series ... and do submit your own favourites, preferably with pictures.

ReplyDeletewhere's the Kolo Mee?
ReplyDeleteKuching satay is good, but KL satay is better. Especially the Kajang originated types.

ReplyDeleteDon't forget the tomato fried kway teow.
Don't worry, this is only half of GL's food report. I decided to split it up so you guys can take a breather between your salivation. Part 2 will have kolo mee & more!!!
ReplyDeleteKuching Fest is on now. More of a Food Fest.
ReplyDeleteTry the fried ice-cream.
