Kuching, Sarawak - Day 6 (Kuching Town)

Image
Finally on our last day in Kuching the drilling sound from the hotel room renovation woke us up at 8.30am. Since we couldn't fall back to sleep anymore, we decided to go for a quick breakfast before we check out from the hotel. So we took a Grab ride to Sin Poh Poh Cafe, 5 minutes drive (1.7km) from  Hilton, Kuching . (Grab fare - RM 4). I had kampua mee with fish balls and bbq pork while my partner had pork leg rice with teh ping (milk tea). I can only taste the sweetness in the teh ping but not the teh ping taste. Kampua mee noodles texture is soft and flavourful but a bit dry for me. It's good to mix it with the curry broth served together with the pork leg rice. The pork leg rice comes with braised eggs, tofu, pickled cucumber and pork served with curry broth and soy sauce soup with a strong taste of pepper. We took Grab ride back to our hotel (Grab fare - RM 4) and check out at 10.50am. Sin Poh Poh Cafe Sin Poh Poh Cafe Teh ping (milk tea) Pork leg with tofu and braised eg...

Kuching, Sarawak - Day 5 (Kuching Town)

Choon Hui Cafe is famous for its Sarawak Laksa. It's 6 minutes drive (2.2km) from  Hilton, Kuching . (Grab fare - RM 6). We reached there around 9.20am and was lucky to find a small table for two person. As usual my partner ordered teh ping (milk tea) which taste a little bland for me. He ordered a bowl of kolo mee with extra toppings, popiah and Sarawak laksa. Kolo mee comes with big prawns and red bbq pork. Springy noodles and it's flavourful. However it doesn't come with a bowl of plain soup. Popiah is a fresh spring rolls filled with jicama or yam bean, vegetables, peanuts and homemade sweet sauce. They served it with a sweet, salty and spicy sauce. Overall it's good. Sarawak laksa on the other hand is spicy and bee hoon (rice vermicelli) is a bit hard for my liking. I get very thirsty too after eating. Guess I still prefer the Sarawak Laksa that we had at  Chong Choon Cafe .  We walked over to one of Oloiya's branch and bought some dried chicken and pork meat. ...
