Hong Kong Noodle

This little gem of Chinese cooking is in the Wisma Saberkas shopping center in downtown Kuching. Their specialty is Char Siew, which is the Chinese barbecue red pork. To say that this place serves good Char Siew is like calling the pope a Catholic. It is simply a little bit of heaven on a plate.

They roast it, along with some duck and another type of pork, in a window that you can view from the mall. Every time I go there, it is packed with people, mostly local Chinese, which bodes well for the quality of the food. Be sure and go there early enough to try some, though, as they often sell out by 7 or 8pm, sometimes earlier. The other dishes are also very good, so if they don’t have the pork you are okay, but it would really be a shame to miss it.

The restaurant itself is a nice place, with ceramic dishes and actual waitresses in cute pink outfits. It’s a regular sit-down, air-conditioned place, not a café that you typically see in Asia. There is always someone on staff who speaks English, so there are no worries there. They offer a wide variety of beverages, like soda, beer, wine, and tea.

The prices are also fantastic. It’s not hard to get full on RM6 or less, which, at a 3.8Rm to $1, makes for a really good value. If you go to Kuching and pass this place up, it's your own fault.
