Good Luck Cafe and Lounge

Reviewed By Kai_Wah

The shop is run by local residents in Mulu where it is located right outside the Mulu National Park entrance beside the start of suspension beach. There are several eateries nearby around the same price, identical menu items and taste pretty similar. We ordered the beef with black sauce and chicken with black sauce which both served with steamed rice. The portion is big which is adequate to fill up the stomach after excursions at Mulu National Park. Anyway, the highlight in Mulu National Park is about the nature not the food. All places in Mulu only accept cash payment except Mulu Marriott Hotel where credit card payment is accepted.

A rare find in Kuching for its offering - Cambodian & Western Cuisines! Splendid food, service & atmosphere! We keep coming back for their grilled beef salad, red chicken curry, cambodian spring rolls & most especially the seafood amok. My husband likes the Cambodian beer served here.

Very beautiful and nice cafe with friendly staff and good food. Had the Dayak Char Siew Rice which is a better version of tje chinese bbq pork rice. The dipping sauce is a killer and the mixture of fats in the meat is excellent. Good value for money. Good recommendation from TA.

Fig Tree Cafe

Reviewed By Ben L

Went in for a quick lunch. Menu looked good and interesting. We went for seaweed fried rice and a kimchi fried rice. Easy right? My partners rice came out and although it took some time it was nice enough. We had to wait another 35 minutes and ask 3 times until my seaweed rice came out. When it did it was cold. A table of 4 had come in after us and all been served before my meal came out and most of their food also came out before my partners. We expressed our disappointment but no apology. No explanation. Ordered another round of drinks while we were waiting and ridiculously that only came after my rice. Joke of a place. Either 1)tourists aren’t welcome 2)they are just constantly dreadful or 3)they were having an off day. I hope it was the latter.

Lima.Tujoh Cafe

Reviewed By k0hk3

Located a few shops away from Indah House and Pinggai Café, Lima-tujoh is an nondesrcipt café mainly selling nasi lemak. Décor is simple. Menu is handwriiten on the blackboard above cashier counter.We were here for lunch. We ordered 3 different kinds of nasi lemak. With one sunshine egg, the normal nuts and anchovies, cucumber and of course the coconut-flavoured white rice, the Nasi Lemak Biasa is the cheapest among all at RM5.90. Served in traditional flowered design metal plate. It is simple and delicious.Nasi Lemak Kari Ayam (RM10) has the usual components of the Biasa but comes with a bowl of reddish curry of chicken. It also comes with a small plate of sambal chilli. Nice.Nasi Lemak Sambal Sotong (RM12) is delicious. The squid is fresh and the sambal is excellent. The spicy mix of chilli, belacan, onion, garlic, tomato and other spices makes this sambal goes very well with the coconutty rice.After the lunch, we also tried the coffee. It is smooth and aromatic. It is a satisfying meal.BTW, the lady owner had graciously offered us a few pieces of belacan brinjal which they were testing it. It is tasty. Soft but not mushy.Thank you for your kind words! It was a pleasure to have met you and family! We hope to see you again!

We ate here a couple of times and got take away sandwiches for our hike in Kubah National Park. The glutinous rice dessert is a brilliant alternative to porridge in the mornings. They don’t generally have all the breads available on any given day, but the bread they do have is always very good, and savoury!!

The kopitiam made famous by late celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain. Come try our signature kaya toasted bread. Also, do sample the delicious Sarawak laksa, rojak and kolo mee. -- This listing is maintained by BYC Digital. --

Use a Grab taxi to go there. The crowd was so happening, we were advised to just dump ourselves to any empty table. This place is so in demand! Apart from laksa, the kolo mee and popiah is dirt cheap (MYR3.50). All tasty and super delicious. Will definitely go again.

I can not begin to say enough about Inah house. Trudy and her husband Colin are the most wonderful, friendly and trustworthy people one could meet. We worked with Trudy from Australia to arrange all of our activities. We started out time with them by doing Trudy's cooking class. She met us at the market to buy the food and then on to the cooking class. I would rate this activity as an 11 out of 10. Even those in the group who were not enthusiastic to begin with loved the morning. We were in Kuching for 4 days and prior to arriving Trudy had helped me chose all ouf our activities and arrange them for us. We then went on to do jungel tours and visit the local longhouse village etc. It was all wonderful. My recommendation to anyone visiting Kuching is to work with Trudy for suggestions and then book it through her. All the guides were amazing. We only had to pay a reasonable deposit and she is the best person to make recommendations. We booked our hotel seperately but everything else was through Indah House. N.B. Colin her husband is also great fun.
