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.

  1. Wow!! Looks good! Am currently in Kuching on holidays. So far only tried Laksa at one place. Will try to get to this place to try and compare.

  2. mmmmmmm… so was it worth the hunting and investigation? it does look that way 🙂

  3. Aha! You finally start to move a bit with the blog. I really miss it. Hey, the Laksa stall also one of my daddy’s favorite. I like the kaya toast there.
