Sarawak Food Heaven

In Sarawak, there are a lot kind of foods. Besides, there are many kind of hereditary that come out with their own traditional foods. Below are detail of local foods serve in my restaurant :-

LAKSA SARAWAK 

 As Malaysian I'm very proud to introduce you a different type of Laksa in my country. As a person hailed from Sarawak ofcourse I would like to talk about our yummylicious "Sarawak Laksa" :)

 Laksa Sarawak I should say, is the most famous dish which is easily identifiable with Sarawak. To me Laksa Sarawak is our signature dish which we should put a patent first. The Sarawak Laksa is essentially vermicelli rice noodles(bee hoon), cooked in a shrimp-based broth that is made to the thicken with coconut milk. This dish is served with generous amounts of crunchy bean sprouts, a few boiled prawns and garnished with shredded chicken and slivers of egg omelette. For added spice, there's the thick sambal(paste) that is usually served on the side, and another some extra sour you can squeeze some lime juice (limau kasturi) into your dish as well.  We are actually trying hard to preserve the authenticity and the originality of our Laksa Sarawak as it is part of our culture & heritage. If you want to try Sarawak laksa, you are welcome to come to our restaurant Lee's Cafe. We offer the most affordable and reasonable price to our customers. Once you tried, you will not necessarily be able to achieve more satisfaction and want to add another bowl.

MIDIN SAMBAL

LINUT 

 For those who love to eat Linut, a traditional Melanau delicacy made from sago, Kampung Budaya is the place to visit. "I like the taste, but it's hard to find a places in Kuching selling traditional dish," said one of our customer. The preparation of linut is very simple, one only need tepung lemantak or tepung sago. Linut served with spicy gravy, sambal belacan or sambal asam paya.
