After my 4 days 3 nights trip in Central of Sarawak, we had enjoyed so much of the local delicacies of Sibu, Mukah and also Sarikei. 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.

So many dishes I’ve never seen! Tumpik Special and the cooked food in bamboo seem interesting. I’ve tried Midin, I think it’s available some Malay gerais.
they are good
I can’t wait for my trip back to Sarawak, probably next year… I want to try all the food also…
I miss them too
all the food seems delicious. time to make a visit there
Thanks for compiling all the top 10 food must try in Sarawak! Haven’t been to there before =) Seeing all the food makes me feel hungry!
Thanks for this great list! I’ve been to Sarawak only a couple of times and have eaten a number of these dishes but not all of them. This list certainly comes in handy for my next trip to Sarawak!
they all look so yum! My top pick when I visit would be red wine mee suah, kek lapis and midin ^^ all also have not tried before !! ^^
I really miss my hometown food while living in Kl. I ‘ve been living in KL for 12 years but i always feel excited like a kid when coming home because of the food. i cannot replace the taste with all the food in Semenanjung. Probably the taste already blended in my gene. There are lot more to try (some of my fave):
1. nasi goreng dabai, Can eat the buah dabai alone.
2. ikan terubok masin
3. laksa sarawak / kolo mee – a must have after touchdown. 😉
4. mi goreng crispy with tomato gravy
5. local dessert (kuih tradisi) – celorot, kuih rangin, pugang (lemang w/o santan), hati pari,
6. local cucumber leaves – fry alone or mix with baby corn. It tastes sweet
7. fairlady – special drink only can be found in kuching.
8. kueh chap – its a black soupy noodle, non halal because use pork
9. umai jellyfish – preparation same as the umai ikan
10. mee jawa (almost like mee rebus in johor)
Most of these food can be found in kuching. Please try if visit kuching.
Hi
Sure. We wish to have more time to visit other places in Sarawak too.
