Little Food Tour Kuching, Sarawak 🇲🇾

We returned to the center of Kuching, Sarawak in Malaysia. There is a lot of food that we will try while being on Borneo, today we go for a walkabout through Chinatown and India Street and have a look, we will also try some of the very local food around here like Kek Lapis, Kolo Mee, Paos and some ice cream sandwiches. Let's see how that went. Everybody is very welcoming and friendly, therefore it is obviously not a hard thing to do....
Anyway, let´s try to give this video a "like" and maybe even a comment, I would love to hear from you.

Welcome to my city. Fun fact of Malaysia, official religion is Islam but we’re definitely not a muslim country, official language is Bahasa Melayu/Malay Language. But over in Sarawak, there’s actually no official religion for the state, our state official language is English, which is why over in Sabah & Sarawak magistrate and high court court, all proceedings are commanded in English language as compared to Peninsular Malaysia which uses Malay Language during their proceedings. Largest race by population in the state or even kuching is as follow, the dayak being the majority, followed by the malay, then chinese and finally other local tribes. Peoples are actually more laid back over in Sarawak as an overall, and can be seen in any local kopitiam(coffeeshops) whereby all races of different religious groups can sit together on the same table enjoying their own respective food without the need to feel left out. Try and explore more locals places and you will notice the difference 😊 Kuching city itself is divided into 2, the Northern City side and Southern City side 😉

[@yvesthesleeve]

Thanks for this

Those green garbage bins are allocated to each household or shop owner. If you walk inside, ie along the pavement, you will notice Indian muslim shops selling clothes and books. Between the buildings are alleyways that leads to the other side of the street and you will be back to the waterfront. One of the alleys will lead you to the small mosque and as you come out you will see an Indian shop selling spices(right opposite) the floating mosque. FYI, there are 2 versions of kolo mee. The chinese one serves pork. The Muslim one serves beef or chicken. Good to see you trying Sarawak's national dish. Another national dish is our Sarawak laksa.

I am a proud Sarawakian I saw your title and was interested to see where have you been in my city. My city is very clean compared to some of the cities elsewhere. And people are also very nice and friendly! Kolo mee is one of the best noodles ever invented and Sarawak Laksa is the best in the whole world. You should try the laksa next. Some like it some don't. Subjective and everyone is entitled to their opinion and that is simply mine. Ice cream in a bun is a South East Asian thing particularly found in Singapore, Kuching and other parts of Malaysia

[@yvesthesleeve]

I will definitely eat Laksa, I had Penang laksa many times as we lived there during mco. Kolo mee was exceptional.

There are now several varieties, including Chinese Kolo mee, Iban and Malay versions. Originally, the mee is marinated with spices and uses cow gut (kola), with a broth made from meat veins and black thick soy sauce. It became popular after an Australian visitor came to Kuching solely to eat kolok mee and urged his Australian friend to try this mee.

[@ukchub6633]

Hi Moonshine and family waahay finally you tried Kolo Me, there are so many types now adays if so you decide to try different Kolo Me hehe I think 2023 change alot since I left 2003 haha. The one that you tried was Kolo Me (red) which was the red fat juice drips from the pork when it's been cook. If you ask the Chinese guy who serve you where is the redness coming from 😊. The other one is just plain white Kolo Me. There is kampua mee (more popular in Sibu) similar to Kolo mee. Thinking back one of my favourite is in Miri I have it every morning back I was in college in Miri Boulevard. The old Chinese lady give me nice big portion of Kolo Me mmm. Loads of mince meat and fried onion and I ate it with loads of chillie 😊. Anyway back to the outdoor old street cafe, if you when to different corner same place again where you had your Kolo mee, they sell Siew Mai and soya bean milk drink in the early morning like really early morning they gone very quick 😊 And also again at the same place if you when back on evening time they selling seafood hehe. If you have car more better or someone drive you around, you know what I mean when you experience it yourself I soon hope. Have you seen waterfront on evening time yet? One of my favourite place quiet romantic, might be full of people when Kuching is about to go to sunset that's where everyone coming out haha like a vampire (is a joke) you know what I mean reason because Asian people don't like sun so much 😂 Anyway bye bye Moonshine family

While in Carpenter, you have missed out the most popular legend eatery name Lau Ya Keng. There, basically you will get the opportunity to try out all the popular Non-halal local food namely S’wak Laksa, Kolo Mee, Kueh Chap, Pork Sate, Etc. also desert goes by Lek Tau Suan & the banana fritters front of temple, opposite the eatery where supposedly an Chinese opera stage.

Welcome to my hometown Kuching, my friend. Nice to see you & your youngfamily finally setting your foot on this hidden part of Malaysia. So sad, when foreigners thinks of Malaysia, most of them only able to imagine the buzzling city of KL, the Petronas twin tower, the great varieties of the Malay, Chinese and Indian foods/dishes of Peninsular Malaysia and the food heaven of Penang. Can't help it either, when they did arrive in Kuching, most of them only explore the old, central city of Kuching. IMHO, the 70% of Kuching's real gems (the foods, the sceneries, interesting places & actual composition of Kuching's true populace) , are outside the 'old town'. Unlike major cities like KL, Bangkok, Singapore, Mumbai or Delhi, the only way to fully explore Kuching is by renting a car or just hire a Grab car (equivalent to Uber taxi in Europe). Kuching is quiet dull during week days, due to her mostly working class citizens. It comes alive in evening and during weekends. Have a happy and and enjoyable stay in Kuching, my friend.

[@yvesthesleeve]

Thanks a bunch, we totally do have a great time.

[@cityliving-rainforestperson]

I agree. People tend to compare with KL saying Kuching has no night life yadda yadda yadda unlike Penang yadda yadda. But I’d like Kuching to keep it that way. Let Kuching be a city that knows when to rest.

As a cantonese person, kolo actually means "mix with sauce". Maybe locally, there are other origin of the word.

[@msl1689]

Not sure of the origin of the word, but Cantonese is not widely spoken in Sarawak. Also kolo mee isn't mixed with sauce anyway, but lard.

[@cityliving-rainforestperson]

The Ibans either call it “mi kolok” or mi rangkai (dry noodle). The word kolok is also used as a slang for vigorous shaking, I would think… ‘cos Ibans use it to name the manuk kolok (turkey) ‘cos when the bird gobbled, it started to shake its head.

From my observation, Kuching is mostly Malays and Chinese (about the same percentage). The more the east or north to Sarawak, the less the Malays are. Like in Bintulu or Miri, mostly either Chinese and Iban, followed by Melanau and Malay. In north Sarawak, the Malays should be around 10-20%

The old Kuching town or 'Kuching City' is mainly comprises of the Hakka, Hokien, Khek and Teowchew chinese, along with the Malays from malay villages all along the Sarawak river, from Batu Kitang down to Muara Tebas and Bako river outflows. The nearest iban village is Bukit Siol, Petra Jaya and in Samarahan & Serian divisions. Whilst the nearest Bidayuh villages are from the 5 th mile Kuching-Serian road onwards. The population are more diverse, outside Kuching old town centre, due to urban migration and the Bidayuh villages adjacent/within it.

[@flyingfox3766]

Actually the lady is right, that is india street and there is a smaller lane to the left that leads to the original old Indian Mosque (mosque founded by indian muslims who migrated to kuching). Not sure if the old mosque is still there but the new floating mosque is supposed to replace it.

[@yvesthesleeve]

That's interesting...

[@cityliving-rainforestperson]

The small number of Indians in Sarawak are concentrated in Kuching… maybe a small number maybe in Miri. They came to Kuching as merchants selling spices. You can see a few of their old shops on Gambier Street. That India Street is named because that was where the Indian merchants in the olden days set up their shops. There used to be a big shop selling cloths too. Another small group of Indians were brought in when the Rajah opened an small tea plantation at the foot of the Matang hill (there’s a Hindu temple there). When it was closed, only a small number decided to stay on.
