Kuching is blessed with
countless numbers of
restaurants, and there are
countless more coming up. And
more often than not, these new
restaurants serve either western style
food or fusion dishes in keeping with
today’s food trends.
There are also outlets selling Chinese
food, Indian food and local Malay
food. “But what about those of the
local ethnic communities?”, you
might ask.
To answer that question, Kuching
now has some outlets selling Bidayuh
food and Kelabit food, offering
foreign tourists as well as visitors
from other parts of the country a
taste of the traditional dishes of both
ethnic groups.
Joining them in promoting local
ethnic dishes is a new outlet simply
named ‘the.Dyak’, which serves food
from the Dayak community.
Its owner is passionate about food,
and is eager to promote Dayak
dishes as so much more than just
“Pansoh Manuk”.
