T-Not Sarawak Laksa
One of the must-tries when you are in Kuching is Sarawak Laksa. Every time I make a trip to Kuching, Laksa (and Kolo Mee) is on the menu for breakfast. Having tried some of the Sarawak Laksa in Kuala Lumpur makes me miss the authentic, real taste that you can only get here. Even in Kuching, the Laksa is different from shop to shop. This one is refreshingly different. From the outlook, you would not be able to tell if it was a house or a shop selling Laksa. If it was your first time there, you probably would have to have someone local take you there (or find it by the amount of cars parked outside).
As for the Laksa, the difference with the other shops is the noodles that are used, which are thinner compared to other shops (soaks up the soup to make it extra tasty!). On top of that, the thin strips of fried egg are delicious (wonder how they get it so thin).
Looking forward to my next trip already!

Rajah Brooke Cafe – Sarawakian Cuisine in Kuchai Lama
James Brooke was the first White Rajah of Sarawak between 1842 and 1868. Upon arriving in Borneo in 1838, he provided aid to the Sultan of Brunei who faced an uprising in one of the settlements. After bringing peace to the settlement, he threatened the Sultan with military force, and eventually was granted the title of Rajah of Sarawak towards the end of 1841.
Rajah Brooke Cafe brings flavours from Sarawak to Kuala Lumpur. Situated in Kuchai’s Entrepreneur’s Park, Rajah Brooke Cafe serves favourites such as Kolo Mee, Sarawak Laksa and their speciality drink, the three layer iced tea. The drink was rather sweet as they made use of Gula Melaka but nonetheless refreshing on a hot day.
The Kolo Mee here was not too bad, but just a tad too oily for my liking. The minced pork and char siew were mixed with the springy noodles and also served with a side bowl of soup.
Also, a favourite of mine is Sarawak Laksa, which I just could not resist upon seeing it on the menu. I still prefer the ones in Kuching, but I have to say that the ones here are done relatively well.
