kenny, why kuching laksa looks like curry to me? *wink*
Posted by: sue at 11 July 2008 3:33 PM
hey man,
you forgot to write down the "RULE OF THUMBS" while going over to makan at Min Joo Cafe. Refer to mine: http://dreckker77.blogspot.com/2007/11/one-of-most-famous-in-kuching.html
oh yea, about Laksa, do check out the kopitiam at Chong Lin Park, opposite the snooker center. it cost RM6 per bowl, but in my opinion, it's definitely better than the one at Golden Arch. you really should try it out. I've got a picture of the RM6 Laksa here:

by the way, Hilton rocks! can't agree more on it being the best fine dining place in Kuching!
cheers!
Posted by: dreckker at 11 July 2008 3:37 PM
I agree most emphatically with Hui Sing as best food court and Bishopgate for best kolo mee.
Both are the absolute best in my opinion!
Posted by: mac at 11 July 2008 3:39 PM
why do you do this when i'm hungry ?
!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: lauwy at 11 July 2008 3:40 PM

If I am going to Kuching with Juleen, would you sponsor me the 1st top 5 and I will sponsor you the bottom top 5? ...I wanna try the laksa and tomato kuey teow. Very special!

Argh..damn u Kenny..
I'm taking the car key now..
Posted by: lindy at 11 July 2008 4:12 PM
I used to live opposite this shop at carpenter street. We ordered the kolomee then the uncle/ botak lady with pony tail will send the kolomee to our shop. After eating, we left the bowls at the kaki lima and they will come and collect..:P
Posted by: moniqus at 11 July 2008 4:14 PM
omg! you make me miss kuching only. can't wait to go back.
Posted by: (='.'=) at 11 July 2008 4:16 PM
sarawak's laksa is curry mee in west msia. There is no asam laksa in swk. that why swkian hate the laksa here
Posted by: rapidshare at 11 July 2008 4:21 PM
i only agree with the laksa and kolomee,for the kolomee,it may be in my best list,but not the top.
Posted by: Raymond at 11 July 2008 4:23 PM
Good day all
I'm going to Kuching by end of August.
1. Where can I get the best map for Kuching.
2. I probably need to rent a car to bring my family around. Which car rental is the best and where is it located?
3. Any particular food that I shall not miss apart from kolo mee?
If you don't mind, can email me at yapyawwah@gmail.com for the details.
Posted by: LX at 11 July 2008 4:26 PM
U're one hell of a food taker....
Yum yum....
Now i know more about kch...>
Posted by: Jacklyn at 11 July 2008 4:26 PM
that's a nice review. i must try it out when there is a chance to visit kuching...again =)
Posted by: Jitty at 11 July 2008 4:28 PM
I can't believe hainan street win, can't believe richmond did not get a place instead a hui sing house did. Cant't believe the chicken rice shop did not get a place either.Can't believe petanak hawker centre can offer good food.Can't believe....
Posted by: Aduh at 11 July 2008 4:32 PM
Wah Lauehhhhhhhhhhh!!!!Very good & very yummy post!!!!
Posted by: Horny Ang Moh at 11 July 2008 4:51 PM
Wah, Best Fine Dining can cause Bleeding if not handle with care.
Posted by: AhBeng at 11 July 2008 5:17 PM
At least it show you the price mah, not like some restaurant rip customer without showing the price and give you no value for money food.
Posted by: AhLeon at 11 July 2008 5:23 PM
Oh!!! I went to Choon Hui right after the night I met you, we even drove past your friend's place which you went for the xmas party (recognised the collapsed fence, haha)
Loved the Laksa and Popiah there and we also had the kaya toast!! Was excellent! =)
Posted by: Kelly at 11 July 2008 5:39 PM
yummy.. i am hungry!
Posted by: lxndreasb at 11 July 2008 5:39 PM
i'm from kuching and i've tried almost all the food that you mentioned.lol.love the laksa and kolo mee the MOST.
Posted by: ..*AnNiE*.. at 11 July 2008 5:53 PM
try the hainan chicken @ world cafe, central park! it's awesome!
hui sing and bishopgate's "ceng", i fully agree! especially hui singggggg...
rapidshare: don't be stupid la. sarawak laksa is curry mee? EXCUSE ME????????????? it's like comparing night with day la.
oh ya richmond has AMAZING PORK RIBS... only during the weekends... you have to ask for it. seriously.. they do amazing babyback ribs... and i've tasted good ones in the US.. but theirs...is... perfect.
Posted by: carol at 11 July 2008 5:57 PM
Omg..I am super super hungry now! I've never been to Kuching but if I do I'd be sure to try all of them!
Tomato kuey teow isn't found around KL is it? this is the first time I heard of it loh. ;)
Posted by: Ginny at 11 July 2008 6:37 PM
amazingly, no. (answering to your question in the last line)
Posted by: Nicole at 11 July 2008 6:39 PM
you say is kuching FOOD awards,why is it a best nightspot is in there???
any delicious thing there?
Posted by: Raymond at 11 July 2008 7:28 PM
hui sing garden is my favourite...i like quan chun's laksa more the jing men's laksa.
Posted by: kch at 11 July 2008 7:29 PM
I agree with most of your selection, but I cannot agree with you on the laksa, chicken rice and tomato kueh tiaw! Tomato kueh tiaw has to be the number 9 stall at Kenyalang old market. Damn! The portion is big, the taste... OMG, makes me miss Kuching already! Chicken rice still has to be the stall behind Hock Lee.. Love the char siew there as well. Laksa! Honestly, the laksa you mentioned is not up to my standard. I found one that is opposite the Spring. It is in one of the kopitiam there! It is pretty good, at least better than this one.
Posted by: Wilfred at 11 July 2008 7:44 PM
Geez...You made me so hungry. I'm craving for the Laksa the most though. Btw, Kolo Mee opposite GRSS(Green Road Secondary School) is real champion too~ :)
Posted by: bigappetite at 11 July 2008 7:55 PM
Min Joo is my fren's shop.. haha.. congrats teo!!
Posted by: Esther at 11 July 2008 8:07 PM
I am on a diet lah. Why try to tempt people like this? Omg, I think I will fail my plan pretty soon.
Posted by: xjion89 at 11 July 2008 8:09 PM
sup babi! om nom nom nom. it doesnt look so yummy in your pics though.

mmmmm hungry
Posted by: june at 11 July 2008 8:11 PM
The Linguine Carbonara at Chef at Home is the best ever! So creamy and cheesy it makes you sick in a good way. Heh the irony. I have yet to find anything close to it even here in KL.
Posted by: aileen at 11 July 2008 8:22 PM
the noodles and pork soup in min joo is really fantastic. i stood in queue for an hour for it. unfortunately some a**holes who come later 'book' their tables by sitting with patrons who aren't done eating yet...
Posted by: wyzek at 11 July 2008 8:43 PM
Hey dude, readers outside Kuching need to know Sarawak Laksa is not Curry Laksa or Curry mee and does not taste like curry laksa. The gravy in paste form is made up of no less than 10 difference spices and takes more than four hours of work to make the gravy base with a unique, memorable flavor of home ............far away....
Posted by: e at 11 July 2008 8:57 PM
U FAILED! EATING KOLO MEE AT MIN JOO WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN... THEY ARE MOVING!!! THE RENTAL OWNER WANA RAISE THEIR RENT CHARGE BUT THEY REFUSE... SO IN THE END THEY DECIDE TO MOVE THEIR ASSES TO OTHER SHOPLOTS... WHERE??? NOBODY KNOWS YET...
Posted by: albagmane at 11 July 2008 9:10 PM
RM100 per person @ The Steakhouse = AUD$32 - not that expensive lah
Posted by: ckl at 11 July 2008 9:12 PM
miss Kch.. haven been back for half a decad..
Posted by: yhs at 11 July 2008 9:12 PM
i alw thought it's the uncle at huising garden drinks stall no17 who says X THOUSAND?
my papaboo loves the carpenter st kolo mee but he hardly got patience to wait.
Posted by: naeboo at 11 July 2008 9:18 PM
ckl u convert currencies, stupid lah. What if u spend 100 AUS dollar for dinner and i say, eh 30 pounds only leh, where got expensive 100 AUS only.
Posted by: stupid ckl at 11 July 2008 9:22 PM
Tomato kuey teow......... mmm....Deliciously deceiving ....
Posted by: chee hong at 11 July 2008 10:16 PM

Posted by: andy at 11 July 2008 10:23 PM
choon hui cafe anf chef at home,are they halal or not?
Posted by: anynomous85 at 11 July 2008 10:56 PM
To answer your last question, YES, definitely! Oh man!!! Thanks for the list, it makes it much more convenient to find GOOD food in Sarawak! :)
Posted by: siewkwan at 12 July 2008 12:18 AM
wah my very own Hui Sing Hawker Stalls is in the list. GOOD JOB KENNY.
Posted by: woot at 12 July 2008 12:28 AM
Hear hear! Good choices of top 10s. I couldn't agree with you more. However I prefer the laksa at Chong Chun cafe in Abell Road. Wah.. now I really miss the foods there!
Posted by: Roland at 12 July 2008 12:34 AM
Kenny,
Cool sellection of the winners. It makes my mouth watery and drooling since I have been away from Kch from quite some time and settling down in US. But as u know, your blog is universal which theres a variety of ppl who reading it day in day out, and u r one of my fav blogger. Being a muslim, i found out that most of the food u gave away as a winner r not halal for me and its kinda frustating coz i couldnt makan it anyway anyhow. Maybe I cant blame u since you are chinese and u set your classification as a chinese eating guy.
Maybe you could add up with a several categories more that more familiar with us, as a muslim ppl in Kch that we can try it out.
Keep it up Kenny.

Posted by: Reiko at 12 July 2008 3:33 AM
Honestly, I didn't really got affected by this post. But the update of 'beautiful oyster omelette' on pacmee that made my mouth watery. lol.
If there's a chance, I'd love to travel to Kuching. Since I already have ten best place to cari makan. But before that, I shall travel to Penang for its char kuey teow first. Been there but have never tried it. zzz
Posted by: Steven at 12 July 2008 3:33 AM

Posted by: ineser at 12 July 2008 7:24 AM

Its been ages since i have been home and it looks like my fav laksa place is still there.
You didnt mention best pau and sio bee. (hope you'll give credit to the stall by the Polis station/ india street)

Posted by: I'm A Chicken With No Name. BWAK BWAK BWAK! at 12 July 2008 10:10 AM
omg, that old lady that works in min joo cafe IS STILL THERE!!!
The last time i saw her was like 10 years ago!
We used to call her (and the shop) "Lut Tau Moh" (which means loosing hair), because there's probably so much MSG in their stuff that it'll make your hair fall off. Plus she doesn't have much hair either.
Posted by: Jeremy at 12 July 2008 10:40 AM
Yea.. Min Joo Cafe is moving.. But no one knows where is the new location yet. :(
Posted by: rene at 12 July 2008 10:51 AM
we owes refer that lady and also Min Joo Cafe as "Tua Pui Soh"...
something like "Eh, let go makan at Tua Pui Soh there..."
Posted by: dreckker at 12 July 2008 10:59 AM
Just found out that they are moving to next door only... hehehe..
Posted by: rene at 12 July 2008 11:35 AM
Thanks for the great post Kenny. I really miss all the good food in kuching, especially in Hui Sing hawker centre and i miss white lady the most.
Posted by: Devin at 12 July 2008 12:15 PM
Best Laksa i reckon is opposite crown towers. Opposite MPOB the kopitiam. damn forgot the name. Best. he he

Hate to spoil your man-gasm, but I'm sure Mr.Tony speaks and writes better English than that. I'm very such it's a prankster.

Posted by: Doris at 12 July 2008 3:47 PM
Hi Kenny, first time I am visiting ur blog and you're quite a funny guy! The food you recommended reli looks tantalising but too bad I'm all the way in S'pore. Wld reli like to try the Mee Joo kolo mee one day to find out why it is sooo popular and sooo worth the wait. Love your blog!
Posted by: sel at 12 July 2008 4:59 PM
I have never been to Sarawak.. But the food really looks so delicious man..
Posted by: Charles Lee at 12 July 2008 5:11 PM
lucky me! i manage to find a stall that sell tomato kew tiao in PJ! tried it and love it.
hope i can get the chance to try the ori tomato kew tiao in sarawak.

Posted by: Bon at 12 July 2008 6:37 PM
waa your post makes me hungry..missing hawker food
Posted by: kidd at 12 July 2008 8:13 PM
I only went to that kolomee shop once although I from Kch, and that time really disappointed me. I brought 2 colleages from KL there, and the taste of the kolomee doesn't seem to suit my taste, weird!
anyway, Good Job to Kenny for bringing our local food to international level.
Posted by: kuching boy at 12 July 2008 8:17 PM
hi kenny,
did you know you're on the centre spread of the New Sabah Times newspaper today?
Posted by: bre!nda at 12 July 2008 8:52 PM
its very dissappointing all the food u recommended r not halal..except 4 da steak house :(
Posted by: anynomous85 at 12 July 2008 9:06 PM
Hi Kenny,
Your blog alway makes me so hungry & saliva dripping even though when i had just eaten my meals. Really hope to try at those places you recommend in Kuching one day!!!

Posted by: dead_cockroach at 12 July 2008 10:39 PM
Holy crap...how did Choon Hui win...
Chong Choon!!!!Chong Choon!!
It used to be good, but now Chong Hui's laksa tastes like vomit!
There's no denying that..
Their toast is pretty good though.
Posted by: iggy at 12 July 2008 10:52 PM
sel, spore too has sarawak kolo mee, tried the one in vivo city, and heard thr's another one in toa payoh hub too, taste exactly the same, but noodle not as "Q" though.
Posted by: spider at 12 July 2008 11:42 PM
At the very end of the day, nothing, absolutely nothing, not even that $200 per pax fine dining restaurant, can ever beat... The dirty old stall.
Posted by: walte56 at 12 July 2008 11:59 PM
you should try the mee at one of the kopitiams behind the EPF building there, opposite the swinburne carpark.
Posted by: guava at 13 July 2008 12:03 AM
yoh....the pictures doesn't look tasty at all ler...d@mn..I bet kenny have not ever tasted the delicious and what we so-called "human's foods". ei..the pictures u published seems to be dog foods ler..hehe...
Posted by: I'm A Chicken With No Name. BWAK BWAK BWAK! at 13 July 2008 12:45 AM
i love the pork noodles in carpenter street! i don't think i've waited less than an hour there before. and the uncle looks like he's scolding you but that actually how he talks!

Posted by: li at 13 July 2008 5:33 AM
Don't mean to sound offending.. But is RM100 very expensive for fine dining? If it's in SGD.. Then yeah it's really expensive. But RM100 is pretty ok for a normal-restaurant-meal.
Posted by: E at 13 July 2008 2:16 PM
Hey! Kenny..
I had tasted the Kolo Mee before.. my wife `da pau' for me .. from Kuching! Hot & good.. straight from the airport .. & into my stomach!! hehe :) :)
Posted by: the Razzler at 13 July 2008 3:25 PM
I prefer Penang's delicacy. Sarawak foods....omg...damn tasteless...ajinomoto a lot ...iaks...
Posted by: I'm A Chicken With No Name. BWAK BWAK BWAK! at 13 July 2008 3:31 PM
i wish i can fly there immediately and eat them all!
Posted by: joshuatly at 13 July 2008 4:00 PM
This is a subjective matter but I do believe these selections are good by looking Kenny's waistline:P
Kenny, you need to eat moderately and exercise or sex-ercise more!
Posted by: Anthony at 13 July 2008 5:18 PM
Kenny,
in due respect, you need to go around in kuching more often than go on your globe trotting thingy as nowadays there are more good food places offering and better tantalising cuisine than the one you show us. Let me bring you to these spots and believe it, your list will change! By the way, Steakhouse has been appearing in best restaurant in Malaysia in Tatler's list for the past many years. Their food is doesn't cost an arm and a leg, its value for money.
Posted by: Jack at 13 July 2008 5:45 PM
chef at home is overrated!!!!
Posted by: noy at 13 July 2008 7:01 PM
Hi Kenny
Because of your recommendations and a food lover, i am going to fly over to Kuching from Singapore next month on 8th August and will return on the 12 and at the same time tour Kuching.
Can i have the honour to meet up with you?
My email address is holyflower83@yahoo.com. Hear from you soon.

Posted by: BERN at 14 July 2008 8:41 AM
Well to my knowledge The Steakhouse and Chef at Home are both Halal places.
Is Hainan Street Halal since they only serve chicken?
Posted by: kuching food at 14 July 2008 9:00 AM
Err..How come Mojo in the list of "Kuching Food Awards 2008"? What foods do they serve there?I'm curious. I thought MOJO only serve beer/wine/alcohol... same like other pubs too? Just that the price r different.. never go to Mojo no more..The smoke are chocking me!Lack or air vents. I thought u don't like the smoking environment??
Err.. i saw a Dracula at the Sunday Post yesterday.. :P

Hi Kenny,
Nice post! Been recommending places to eat in Kch to my S'jung friends.
The adventurous ones try some & like it.
Normally conservative ones "dislike" the food thr.
Glad you're enlightening every1 abt food.
NOTE: How about Halal food since some friends who read your blog are Muslims too! They can't eat Kolo mee ler... "an chua ler"?
NOTE2: I miss Kch reasons:
1) My family
2) Kuching Food...sigh...

Posted by: Jorzac at 14 July 2008 4:08 PM
agree no more that minjoo's kolo mee is the best in town!! probably they add in some vinegar that makes the mee tastes absolutely good! they are not moving, coz they are the shop owner..they've been there since 1960's...n my dad used to call d old tauke nio as "tua pui za bo",who was the 1st chef then..now this old and kind lady still helps out in the shop and i think she is very cute :p
Posted by: I'm A Chicken With No Name. BWAK BWAK BWAK! at 14 July 2008 8:28 PM
I've been to Min Joo too.. really have to wait that long lor.. Hehehehe.. But worth it lor :D
And I do agree with your best chicken rice too :D Cos Papa, Mama & Sis said very nice.. and they tapao-ed for us. :D
Best place to have breakfast: Yup.. I like the popiah and also their roti kahwin :D

for me, I just think the food in kuching is getting worse every passing year, i grew up in the main bazaar area, there used to have a lot of good food around, although the kolo mee in the post just still run by the same family but the taste is just unbelievable ... I'll give 3/10 if compared to 20 years ago. it's sad to see that

Kenny, you really make me very very hungry till can eat a horse!!
I never try the laksa at the Golden Arch but I still like to eat the one at 'Fat Cat' near Stutong Commercial Centre (at the bank of AmBank).
As for the kolo mee, I think the best still is the one at 'Sin Po Po' coffee Shop and now it got a branch at the Jalan Song Commercial Centre and the coffee shop name is 'Top 10'.

that hainan street is no way near delicious nor appetizing as the chicken rice shop located behind hock lee center because the operators are hainanese and they are family oriented.
hainan street always almost look dead... (music rolls)..notice the thumble weed passing by through..
and if you wanted air conditioning and halal, singapore chicken rice at satok taste better than hainan street anytime too.
hainan street is a rip-off especially for those who don't know what real chicken rice...

Steak House was the cheapest fine dining i can find on earth so far,with the standard of food and service they had......St.Pierre Lunch cost me amost RM300 for 2.
I am happy to see that most of the food spot that you had selected is correct,after all,hui sing garden hawker centre,choon huan,carpenter street is still my favourite.......

Posted by: Robbie at 18 July 2008 3:16 AM
Kenny,
Have you try the meat ball soup and kolo mee at Batu kawah old town there. Located after the batu kawah bridge on your right, then you can see the stall at the small roundabout.

Now u make me wanna go Kuching, awwwwww......
Posted by: Shadowdawn at 18 July 2008 2:01 PM
The best fine dining is The Steakhouse. I agree. The best casual dining is NOT Chef's at Home (it isn't even as good as Junk's), but Hijau at BDC Housing Estate for BBQ fish, Seafood, Malay and Chinese stalls and relaxing, clean, open-air atmosphere.
The best tomato mee / kueh-teow is at Kim Joo, towards the end of Carpenter Street. The best Kolo mee is also found there. Min Joo's mee is disgusting.
The best "food-court" is Carpenter Street's Old Temple Hawker Sralls for all it's authentic, chinese goodies i.e. Pork porridge (in the mornings), Fish Ball Tang-Hoon, Chai-Tau Kueh, Pork Satay, etc (in the afternoons) and The Best Kueh-Chap and Fish Porridge (in the evenings).
The best Melanau style home-cooking is at Barung Tiruk, Jalan Matang Baru.
The best Mee Suah and Roti Kahwin (butter and kaya toast) can be found at Min Joo Kee Cafe, Jalan Ang Cheng Ho.
Dear Kenny. You really ought to update your eating places. :o)
Cheers.

For those who are from West Malaysia, probably you guys might thought kenny is bullshiting, but i can tell you that, as my past 3 year studied at Uni there, alomost all of the recommended food i tried before... and you know what, its worth going to kuching...
p/s: BTW, kenny, when you going to introduce some nice food out of Kuching?
Posted by: tio at 18 July 2008 6:47 PM

Finally made it to Chefs at Home. Can't believe its listed as winner in the casual dining category. That was my first and last time there. Cheers !

I believe most of you have not try Bintangor Rojak!!!. only availabe at nite from 6pm to 3 am. SHALOM air con shop behind HOCK PENG BUILDING at jalan airport. or near to THE COLD STORAGE . BINTANGOR ROJAK.
Posted by: Rojak at 17 August 2008 7:45 PM
I just went to Chef At Home with fren after reading Kenny's blog... Nice food and nice atmosphere as well... Actually I think no need to argue, different people have different taste and preference. So, what for to argue? But seriously, I prefer Semenanjung food... Sarawak food too much MSG and so salty and oily... Not healthy at all... Different places have their unique delicacies... Penang, Ipoh etc etc... So does Kuching....
Posted by: food lover at 31 August 2008 10:42 PM
i'd tried bintangor rojak bfore..its not kinda dark like rojak tat we use to eat..

Laksa sarawak is not same with curry mee. There's no curry added in laksa sarawak. Rasa pn x sama langsung.
Posted by: nurul at 22 September 2008 5:54 AM
talking about laksa, i would like to recommend the Madam Tang's laksa, it is also another famous laksa in Kuching:)
Posted by: hui_0 at 04 November 2008 5:46 PM
Kuching Community Market 1st floor is a good place which is clean and reasonable price for most of the cook food stall. Any person who like CHA KUEH may try the delicious Mixed (sweet and salty) Cha Kueh. Located at 1st floor FA36 know as Mami Cha Kueh (妈咪炒果）and was move from Tabuan Jaya Market formerly know as Tabuan Jaya Market Cha Kueh. Another famous ABC located at FA33 and the same food court. Go and try you will love most of the deligious foods.
