Sarawak Laksa

The state's signature dish is freshly made vermicelli submerged in a concoction of deliciously thick soup rich in 'santan' (coconut milk) and spices, topped with tasty chunks of seafood, chicken and slice omelette. This mouth-watering delight is a Sarawak original and best-taken piping hot. You have not savoured Sarawak until you have tasted Sarawak Laksa. A gastronomical delight that is easily available and served in most coffee shops and hotels.Dine at open-air hawker stalls - which offer the most scrumptious food at amazingly low prices. And during cool nights, just treat yourself to dinner under a canopy of stars on a river cruise. Food courts are vast open-spaces that house many hawker stalls of all sorts, serving Chinese, Indian and Malay food all in one compound. Among the popular ones in Kuching are New A La Carte Food Court (with air-conditioning), King's Centre, Top Spot Food Court and Lau Yar Kaeng. The Top Spot Food Court is especially very popular among the locals and tourists. It is an open-air food court above a big car park, near Kuching Hilton. Visitors may also visit the Sunday market, which apparently starts from Saturday afternoon till Sunday it is actually a very busy fruit and vegetable market, where many local producers offer their tropical products on sale. In the evening you may also eat at some of the many stalls there, that offer local dishes.
