When your in Kuching you really should sample the local specialties, two of our favourites are, and you can possibly guess them! Laksa and Kolo Mee. I'm delighted to report that Laksa is again available from Lau Ya Keng hawker centre. Even better is that it's not any old laksa! It's awesome and it almost looks like a work of art with its very yellow egg omelette strips and almost micro-herb corriander, I don't know if today this was by chance but top chefs fiddle around with their food to make it look like this for hours! Ok maybe the plastic dish with calamansi and becalan spoil it a bit, but hey you can't have everything! The soup tasted great and had a deep spicy flavour, prawns were fresh and something new for me, the chicken used had it's skin on so there was extra flavour here too! Top marks and delicious!
The Little Nibbler loves Kolo Mee, but today had Wantan Mee for a change, the wantans were filled with tasty minced pork and veg. Noodles were springy and dressed in pork fats along with char siu and topped with mince pork. Thumbs up all round!

Very busy Mee Lady!
Lau Ya Keng is located at the end of Jalan Carpenter where the Chinese Gate is located. There were new blinds going up when we left, which also has a different name on to what I know, if anyone knows the 'real' name of this place, please leave a comment also any Laksa recommendations in Kuching are very welcome!
The Bill : 1x Laksa, 1x Wantan Mee, 1x Teh C Ping, 1x Kopi C Ping = 14 MYR
With superb laksa and kolo mee, Lau Ya Keng, Jalan Carpenter should be on your eating itinerary!
