We came to Kuching this year as a group and this place was the best bar by far. Through the week / day time it is a nice spot for chilling and watching the city go by, and at the weekends it turns into more of a music bar with good vibes and cheap drinks. Definitely check this place out!

I have been to many cooking classes in Vietnam, Myanmar and Thailand etc and this one was superb. I find it disappointing that some people like to write such negative comments. The recipes that we were given were ones that we can replicate at home and this is what I would want. Absolutely fantastic, loved it. Highly recommend
