Theresa Sarawa Laksa @ Jalan Borneo (Opposite Hilton Hote) (*HALAL)

This is me and my friends favorite spot for laksa after clubbing. The owner only start her biz at 7pm until wee hour. Janet Lau introduces me to this place. She told me that i must try the laksa there cause it was really really nice. So i gave it a try and true indeed was nice. The gravy was not that heavily spiced nor the santan was to heavy.

RM 4 is the normal price. RM 6 is for special and "cheng". This is the first place i found in kuching that they have "cheng" laksa. Cheng means there is no bee hoon in the soup, there are prawn, shredded chicken, shredded egg and bean sprout with laksa soup. for those who wanted to go on diet should get "cheng".

If they have shred the cheese and spread it out it would be better. As for now the cheese is just in the middle. Or they can put a lil mozzarella cheese in charge at a higher price. Don't mind to pay extra for the mozzarella cheese or extra cheese.

Mixed pork soup & Kolo Mee :- Bishop Gate

I love the soup that been serve here. Well it was really famous in kuching. Normally you have to wait about half an hour to get a sit and then another half an hour to get the owner to take your order and then another 20 min or more to get your food serve for you. But i dun mind to wait for it. As it was so good everybody is queueing up for it. Most kuchingites would know where this place is.

For the new comer that has never been to the shop before, please do not mind the way they talk to their customer. New comer will normally find him really rude. Well the way he talks is loud and rude but he was only joking.

The plain noodles. I like the noodles with lotsa black vinegar and fried onion.

And now the Soup. Yummy........ They have prawn, minced meat, pork intestine, fatty meat, seaweed, Salted veggie and fish cakes.

Sarawak Kolomee :- Eng's Cafe, Jalan Pertanak

This is one of my favorite spot for kolomee too. Situated somewhere around pertanak market.

The prawn are very fresh. Noodles is not soggy. I personally recommend this. The only problem is that you need to go early as normally their will finish around 10am. They open at about 5am in the morning.

Fook Hai Dim Sum, Jalan Padungan.

The Kolo mee is nothing much. But i know their dumpling was nice. that is the only noodles stall at that shop. I will try to go eat the dumpling and take the pic to show u all.

Fook Hai, Kolo Mee

Big Pau.. It was nice. The meat is in chunks.

Fook Hai, Big Pau

Siew Mai. I found that the Siew Mai was not that good. I guess it does not have those fatty particles in there. It is all pure meat so it was not so juicy.

Fook Hai, Siew Mai

Har Kau....the skin is too thick. But the prawn is very fresh.
