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!
