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!

This doesn't look great from the outside but once in, the staff are friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere is great. Staff looked like they were happy to be there. We had a couple of pizzas and service was quick, our drinks were good, and we paid by credit card which was no problem. We ate upstairs but there's also downstairs too. The air con was effective and bathrooms clean! The dessert looked good but we were too full to eat any.

We happen to think that food brings people together. With this in mind, we invite you to experience our unobtrusive yet dependable restaurant and a quaint lobby cafe that make one of the best home-brewed cup of coffee in Miri. Come together with great fri

My partner and I tried this resto coz of the good reviews but it was a very disappointing experience. We both enjoyed the ambience and service but the food and drinks were disappointing. We ordered ceasar wrap, carbonara and chicken cordon bleu. The carbonara sauce tasted like its premade sauce you can buy from the supermarket, have tried so much better. The cordon bleu chicken breast was dry. For the price of the food its not worth it. Also the drinks was a bit tasteless and my bf’s drink which was the royal calamsi has seeds and calamansi skin blended?? I was just as confuse as he was. The ceasar wraps, on the other hand, i suprisingly enjoyed.We appreciate you taking the time to write this feedback. Please accept our sincere apologies if our Pasta Cabonara and Chicken Cordon Bleu were not to your liking. We take all reviews seriously and we try to conduct our own post-mortem as best as we can. We do not serve pre-bought Carbonara sauce as how you perceive it, instead we cook it à la minute where it is prepared to order. As our kitchen is Halal certified, you will never taste the true Carbonara sauce here because of the ingredients used. We will not include Pasta Carbonara in our upcoming new menu.Once again, we thank you for your thoughts and will keep them in mind as we strive to improve in any way that we can.Best regards,Restaurant Manager

Lepau Restaurant

Winner of the Best Innovative Ethnic Restaurant for the 20th Malaysia Tourism Award 2018 A unique local homegrown restaurant set in the heart of Kuching city serving authentic Sarawakian food prepared by a team of enthusiastic and passionate food lovers.

Set in a Kayan kampung style farm hut, Lepau is a homegrown restaurant serving Sarawakan food. No pork or lard. Though it is non-AC, it is quite cosy especially in the evening with all its neon lights.The captain patiently explained some of the tradition dishes as we were a little ignorant. Food was great and the price was very affordable. RM80 for 3 adults.We tried the pansuh chicken and the wrapped brown barrio rice for the very first time. Rice was healthy and a little starchy but tasted good. Chicken stuffed in bamboo stick cooked over open fire was tender with strong flavour of ginger, galangal, lemongrass and other spices. Gave me the impression of clean taste and not oily.Belacan ladies finger was spicy with lot of flavours. Went well with the rice. Prawns Fiona (Tepus) were crispy with sweet and sour sauce. It was deep fried with tinge of ginger flavour. You actually can eat the prawn without removing the shell. Very crispy. Vegetable sweet corn soup was not as creamy as it should be.We had an enjoyable dinner here. Portion was adequate for us. Service was courteous. You know how popular this restaurant is judging by the huge number of patrons.

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.
