Came across this Taipei 101 restaurant at RH Plaza Kuching. If you can’t find it, just look for Expert foodcourt, its just behind it. Else, look for Taka Bakery, its just around the corner. Never been to Taiwan before but I think the restaurant environment settings looks good and “homey” feel. Airconditioned, no wifi, comfortable wooden chairs and tables.
Ordered few dishes. I ordered the Taiwanese Style Pork and rice. Its about RM6.00 if not mistaken. Comes with vege and taufu. Nothing much to comment on it. So-so taste. Could have tried other more unique dishes. The side dishes, I ordered the bittergourd with salted egg. I think its very good. 5/5 for it. Not too bitter and not to salty. Just the right taste. Rm6.00 for that.
Another dish was the Spicy noodle with medium level of spiciness. You can ordered spicy, medium spicy or very spicy. Its advisable that you order the normal spicy. The medium spicy gave me a volcanic sensation in my mouth. It was good but at the same time suffering. Can’t recall the price for it but its about the average RM5 or so.

Crispy noodle, or more commonly known as Hong Kong Style Fried Noodle. In local hokkien dialect, its known as “Kwong Hu Cha Mee”. You can find this at stall number 9 and its on the signage menu infront of the stall at Hui Sing open air food market. Another common eatery place among the locals. There are many stalls there which offers variety of different food. Pork Satay, Noodle, chicken rice, fast food, finger foods etc etc..

What makes this laksa unique? The usual laksa you find elsewhere is cooked with santan (coconut milk) , whereas this one is cooked with condensed milk. Coconut milk is very high in fat and cholestrol when boiled for long duration. It will not be good for diabetics as its too high in cholesterol. So if you ever craved for a healthier version of laksa, you can always try this one. Regular laksa - RM3.50 with prawns!
Another one which I always ordered, the Kay See Mee / KC Mee. No its not a person’s name. It basically means chicken meat noodle. Noodle portion is generous. Can’t recall the price for this, I think its about rm3.00

Here is one of the new and popular kopitiam, located towards the back of Premier 101. Name of the place is Yeow Kee Kopitiam. They got nice wooden chairs and tables unlike most kopitiam which only use plastic chairs. A typical kopitiam with several stalls which brings you alot of food choices. The place is usually full and overcrowded in the morning. The inside is quite stuffy during the morning or day time so I’ll usually sit in the openair.
Though crowded, the waiter and waitress still manage to keep up. We were entertained as soon as we sat down and the drinks ordered came pretty quickly. Efficient I would say.There are few popular choice of food. One is the charcoal toasted bread with butter and kaya. Hardly can find toast with charcoal. It taste much better.
I ordered the hand made noodle which is shown below. One of my favourite from this kopitiam. mix ingredient. As for the laksa, no comment as I didn’t try it.
