And for those who are well verse with Sarawak, they comes with a wide variety of unique food you MUST try when you are there. Hereby , we had listed 10 things to enjoy in Central of Sarawak.
1) Red Wine Mee Suah
The red wine mee suah is originated from FuZhou and this one dish meal comes with loads of ginger, and rice wine. Topped with egg, longetivity noodles and egg with it. According to the owner, the red wine mee suah is being taken during confinement by the locals here and they served them to friends and family during baby full moon as well. Comparable to the West Malaysia, the Sarawak Red Wine Mee Suah comes with the clearer red wine soup and the taste is more mild.
