Choon Hui Cafe

Been here recently, what a pleasing experience for the ambience and food culture. For me laksa here are there on my top three list. The popiah man, delicious. Not forget the kopi panas here. Try the original taste for laksa, kolo mee and popiah guys

Choon Hui Cafe is a classic, old-style Kuching kopitiam serving genuine local dishes cooked by the community. Their Laksa, Kolo Mee, toasted bread, and popiah are all tasty and highly recommended. Despite no air conditioning, the cafe is surprisingly airy and comfortable. The only downside was the 3-Layer Teh C Special, which tasted diluted and lacked fragrance. Overall, Choon Hui Cafe is a fantastic spot for delicious, authentic local food in a traditional setting.

The location was perfectly next to our hotel (in central). We ordered Laksa and Kolo mee as their signature, both delicious and flavourful But the service time was slow around more than 15m for a group of 6, definitely come back if I have a chance to Kuching

This iconic coffee shop is where locals and tourists alike go for an authentic Sarawak breakfast experience. The moment you step in, you're hit with the aroma of strong local coffee and sizzling noodles - the best wake-up call in Kuching. Their kolo mee is legendary - springy noodles tossed in fragrant pork lard with just the right amount of char siu. The Sarawak laksa here is equally impressive, with its rich, spicy broth that locals swear by. Don't miss pairing your meal with their thick, tar-like local coffee that packs an energizing punch. The no-frills atmosphere is part of the charm - plastic stools, shared tables, and the constant clatter of bowls and chatter. Service is fast and no-nonsense, just how a proper old-school kopitiam should be. Prices remain wallet-friendly despite its popularity. Come early (before 9am) to beat the crowds, and bring cash. Parking can be tricky, but the food is worth the hassle. Rating: 4.5/5 - A must-visit for anyone wanting to experience real Kuching breakfast culture. This is where food memories are made!

The popiah was overly priced RM 5 for a one and the ingredient was normal like any others out there. The kopitiam is really hot and lots of people. Coffee/tea/milo drinks are pretty sad, advice to just order canned soft drink or bottled water. The Sarawak Laksa was ok and i wont say the best. It got viral because Anthony Bourdain was there before. There are better ones in Kuching. Best to consult the locals they might point you to better one.

Another great spot if you’re looking to try Laksa Sarawak. Definitely a must-try! This place came highly recommended by my local Sarawakian friend, and it did not disappoint. The popiah was also delicious. Authentic flavours, generous portions, and a satisfying overall experience. Highly recommended!

Retain that kopitiam ambience of yesteryears. Laksa broth is on the thicker side but taste is ngam, fresh prawns! Popiah, one of the better ones tasted. Toast is recommended, thin and toasty crunchy outside

Another great place for Sarawak Laksa, the soup is thicker and stronger in flavour. Kolo mee is quite normal. Popiah is quite nice. Toasted bread wasn’t nice, but egg was nicely done.
