Located in the heart of the business and financial district of Kuching, Sarawak,East Malaysia is this gem of a coffee shop. My colleague Sean and I headed for it this morning on the recommendation of our customer and we were very pleasantly surprised to get a taste of home made, traditional Sarawakian food.
The Laksa is made using vermicelli, (thicker than our mee hoon as we Singaporeans know it) fresh caught prawns and the stock which has no coconut milk in it or curry sauce, but in fact is made from five spices, and the famous black pepper of Sarawak. I give this dish a 10 upon 10. So perfect in flavour and texture.
It was a very memorable dining experience for me. Additionally, we had fried carrot cake (less the black sauce which is too sweet anyway) and another famous Sarawak dish, the Koh Loh (or long and thin) Mee. Oh, this noodle is 'to die for !'. Or as they say in Singapore, 'die die must try'. Springy, succulent, and with a hint of fish sauce and other condiments, the noodles come with the char siew, wanton dumplings and some chopped onions. Another fine example of culinary excellence from the small city of Kuching (or Cat) in the Eastern State of Sarawak, of Malaysia.
Seize the day. Eat Kuching Laksa.
