Started off being one of the districts of Kuching, Samarahan is now an independent district of its own. Samarahan started off being a small fishing village, but it is now known as the education hub of Sarawak, or the “Town of Knowledge”.

But, did you know that other than a number of higher education and medical facilities, Samarahan is also a food heaven? You do? That’s great!! If you don’t, Teaspoon is here to enlighten you…

We prepared a link of a Google Map (https://goo.gl/zPHMGM) for your reference. Or you can click on the Related Restaurants to get to the places.

Kafe Oten, a café that offers delicious, large portion, and affordable food. To get to Kafe Oten, you would need to take the old road heading to the Samarahan jetty.

My Planet Tomyam @ Desa Ilmu (Halal):
Among the many cafes, kopitiams, restaurants, and food courts, I believe that this place has the best Tomyam Soup.

Rumah Asap Dayak @ Samarindah (Non-Halal):

If you’re new to Sarawak, then you need to be here for the best Dayak cuisine. Rumah Asap Dayak consists of many stalls selling Dayak foods such as Dayak BBQ, Pansuh, and many more.

Every stalls have their own specialty. Which stall is nicer? I’d say all of them…

If you’re looking for Chinese food and have a lot of hungry friends, bring them here. You’ll satisfy each and every one of them

Café Station 9 @ Uni Square (Non-Halal):
The Kolo of this place is nice, but sadly it ran out by the time we reached there. But luckily this place has a lot of other delicious foods.
