These are the dishes that make Kuching unique and popular. If you happen to be here its a good idea to try these dishes out. Some you could get very easily, some you need to ask around on where or how to get them.
This is Laksa Sarawak. This dish need to be tried out whenever you are in Kuching. Its a sambal paste with prawns usually and it was quiet tasty.
This is what we called Kek Lapis Sarawak. They are really layered cakes with different flavours such as chocolate, blueberry, vanilla, strawberries and so much more. They were mostly sold at Kuching Waterfront and at the rows of shops along the Waterfront. They were sold about the size 3 by 12 inches and sold for RM8-10 and a more complicated layered ones cost around RM15. We could try each cake there and then before buying so these vendors have them ready and cut in a try. Make sure you clean your hands first.... And try these cakes out, some were really nice. Well, we do have these locally also but we dont find them everyday except during celebrations such as Hari Raya, but in Kuching they were everywhere along the Waterfront.
And this is my dad favourite. One of the reasons why he wanted to go to Kuching in the first place.... We didnt find these fish at first so we asked around and before we went home, I was glad we did find this market.
The market is called "Satok Market" and this fish is called " Terubok". The uniqueness of these fishs were they were all salted and dried. Of course we could eat fresh ones but the fish are more popular this way. Dont ask me why? LOL. The fish egg is another famous delicacies sold at this market. The eggs were also salted but more expensive than the fish themselves. And they were really delicious.
The market was so unique we could even ask them to cook the fish for us so we could bring them over back to the hotel, hahaha.
Apart from Terubok, the market also sell other stuff.
