Email from my sis :
Think you can find the coffee shop with the abandoned steam roller in this article?
Hubby says he wants to go there to eat laksa 😛

Jas and Donnie were making their way back to Malaysia for a short visit here.
Scratching my head on where is a food stall that has a steam roller in Kuching near the wharf. Open air market good laksa meh? Granted that I’ve not grown up in Kuching but lived here for a few years.
Between Jan and Jul 2005
Asking various folks around who grew up in Kuching :
Dad : Hmm…no steam roller in Kuching Open-Air Market lah.
Min Yen : Nothing in Indian Streat. You sure about the steam roller bit?
Cousin Jack : No steam roller near Waterfront Front.
Uncle Cyril : Sure it’s not the famous laksa cafe near Maybank?
Starting to panic a bit. Strange that no one remembers this place.

Dad : Finally found out where it is. It’s the small coffee shop next to Grand Continental and the Indian Temple.
Oohhh! That one.
It’s Choon Hui cafe. The backstreet is a huge dual carriageway!! A very popular breakfast place and famous for it’s laksa and roti kahwin @ wedding bread.
The picture taken today. Jas and Donnie had a bowl of laksa here just before flying off to Kuala Lumpur. There’re there now.
