Best kolomee (red) in the green height area. Been eating for two years and counting. Still as good as before. Won't disappoint you.

It's a bit stuffy if you sit inside, but this is hands down one of my favorite kopitiams in Kuching. Nice coffee, friendly service, and a wide selection of food. The fried rice cakes are especially excellent :3

Best kopitiam to go if you want to eat delicious Pan Mee. It has a lot of topping and garnishes that suits the Pan Mee. The price of of the Pan Mee is only RM9 which makes it very affordable in the midst of rising rate of inflation. The Pan Mee stall is located at the behind kopitiam and the staff are friendly. Other than that, it is a hassle to find parking during lunch hours in the area

This cafe has been here for a long time. About 10 years ago they had a makeover that makes it look a bit more modern and cleaner. The drinks service staff are attentive and took order almost immediately after sitting down. Drinks were also served quickly. The coffee I had was decent. I had the duck egg fried kueh tiaw. The flavor was okay but it was very very oily. Overall still a nice place to have breakfast and lunch, but basically no options for muslims.
