Happy Chinese New Year, everyone! Today's the first day of CNY, any good place for breakfast or lunch? Majority of coffeeshops and restaurants will take the first and second day of CNY off. If you are craving for Sarawak laksa, Mom's Laksa & Rojak Muhammad Kucei Kafe can be another good option.

I got to know Mom's Laksa from my Malay friend. When I asked her where's the best laksa in Kuching, she recommended Mom's Laksa. A Malay version of Sarawak laksa. It has a few branches in Kuching, and the branch I visited is located opposite Hi-Bread Kopitiam. Besides Sarawak Laksa, there also served the famous Indian rojak, Rojak Muhammad Kucei too.








Ordered Air Bandung this time. Hadn't had it for long time.




A small plate of Rojak Ayam, RM6. I like the long bean fritters the most, but the gravy was slightly watery.




A big bowl of laksa, RM8.




A small bowl of laksa, RM6.




The laksa broth is thicker compared to the other laksa (by Chinese) in Kuching. The coconut milk is heavier in taste, and slightly sweet too. My bro finished it all till the last drop. It was quite good actually, but the shrimps were not as fresh.

Pork Leg Rice 老雄猪脚饭 @Foodchow Road 1, Kuching

Address: Lot 7057, Seksyen 64, Foochow Road 1, Poh Ming Park, 93300 Kuching, Sarawak.


Last Monday I was wanting to try out new place for my blog material. Three options for my bro to choose, he preferred to have the pork leg rice. So I brought him to try the pork leg rice here. Pork leg rice is one of the famous foods in Kuching and '老雄猪脚饭' is the well-known one among Kuchingnites. I think this coffee shop has changed new owner, it's called "Tong Nian Food Court" now.





The stall selling pork leg rice, you can choose the ingredients you want: pork intestine, tripe, 3 layer pork, pork leg, chicken meat, and egg.




The pork leg rice comes with the soup, curry sauce and blended chilli sauce. These should not be missed. Pour the curry sauce on your rice, dip the meat with the chilli sauce, then have a sip of the soup.




This the portion for two pax, total RM14. I ordered all the ingredients except chicken meat.




I like their pork meat, tender and not over salty. The pork skin also very chewy. But I was rather disappointed with the white rice. The rice they used should be the cheapest. This dish would be perfect if they used better quality of rice.

Do you like seafood? If you do, this post is meant for you. There are a number of places for seafood in Kuching. Buntal is one of the well-known places for fresh seafood. But driving from Kuching town to Buntal take approximately 40 minutes more or less, depends on your location and road traffic condition. It's not too far from Damai. If you come here for Rainforest World Music Festival in July, you can opt to have your lunch/dinner here too.

There are a number of seafood restaurants here at Kampung Buntal. Most of the popular ones are run by Chinese. No pork served, so no worries if you are a Muslim. There was a table of Malay customers too when we went there. If you want a halal restaurant, there are also restaurants run by Muslims.

I used to try Teo Seafood too, near at the entrance to Kampung Buntal. If not mistaken, this was my first time to try Buntal 88 Seafood Centre. Verdict? Exceeded my expectation, tasted real good. We went on Monday, huhu.. Luckily they were available on Monday too.





This is how it looks like in day time. Oh yeah, surprisingly they even have two VIP rooms equipped with air-conditioner.




This was our view from seating. The restaurant with best view at Buntal is Lim Hock Ann Seafood. I'll blog next time if I have chance to go Buntal again for seafood.




Stir-fried Midin/milin/bilin. On the way to Buntal, there are midin plants everywhere.




Lala clam soup. This was our favourite among all, the clams were so fresh and its size was slightly bigger than those I had at Jalan Alor. The soup was not as spicy but guaranteed tasty.




This is their signature fried tofu. The tofu has stuffed with century egg and salted egg yolk. Not too bad actually, but I still prefer the particular signature fried tofu at Batu Lintang.




Deer meat with dry chilies. The meat was tenderly soft. This dish is really goes well with rice.




Salted egg crabs. After we finished all the dishes as shown above, then only this crabs dish was served. Though long wait, but it didn't disappoint us. Crab meat was superb fresh, it's like they just caught it when we placed the order.




Guess how much is the bill? We had 2 coconuts, 1 milo, 1 Zapple can drink, 4 bowls of rice, and the above dishes for 3 pax portion. Bill totalled up RM127.00 for 4 pax. It's reasonable price, I thought it would be more than RM150. Crabs were the most expensive, RM55 for two nos.

Address: No. 268, Taman Sri Dagang, 97000 Bintulu
Business hours: 5pm something till dawn.


I have post the famous chicken feet at Spring Garden Cafe before, click here. And, these are the dishes we normally ordered at Spring Garden Cafe in Bintulu. Though the appearance doesn't look appetizing. But I can assure you that every dish is amazingly delicious, it goes well with rice.


Cockles, my favourite. I rarely fail to skip this dish whenever we have meal here.




Stir-fried kangkong (water spinach).




Mixed vegetables soup.




Pork intestine and ear.




For some reasons, we never change our mind to try out other dishes here. Maybe it embodies our childhood memories in it. It was our happiest moment when my parents brought us out for dinner.
