The Tree Top

Kuching’s casual eats scene is calling all foodies who love generous portions without breaking the bank! If you’re on the hunt for nice and cheap Western food in this Sarawak city, Tree Top is the kind of local gem you’ll want to add to your list pronto. The Tree Top Lot 2223, No 66, Upland Lorong 7, Kuching 93300, Malaysia Signature Dishes: The must-try highlight here is their creamy chicken chop, which comes with a crispy golden coating and heaps of thick, flavorful sauce. Other favorites include their gigantic mixed grill platter (steak + sausages + sides!) and their loaded cheesy fries for sharing. Vibe/Ambience: Think relaxed, family-friendly comfort with simple interiors, quick service, and a super easygoing crowd—perfect both for casual dinners or group gatherings. Opening Hours: 5:00 PM- 10:30 PM daily Key Strengths: Tree Top is known locally for huge portions that really fill you up! Prices are wallet-friendly, the menu is varied (burgers, pasta, and local twists on mains), and they don’t skimp on flavor or quality. It’s a magnet for students and regulars—my tip: visit during peak dinner hours and expect a bit of a queue (totally worth it for the value!). Pro tip: Hungry and on a budget? Pair your main with their homemade lemonade for a refreshing kick that won’t add much to your bill. #Kuching #WesternFood #BigPortion #BudgetBites #FoodieFind#mytraveldiary

Maguro Japanese Ala Carte Buffet

Hungry in Kuching? 🍣 My latest trip was all about Maguro Japanese Ala Carte Buffet—a total food gem hiding in Gala City Commercial Centre. Think endless sushi, sashimi, fresh oysters, AND it’s all made-to-order (no more sad buffet lines!). Perfect spot for a foodie splurge in Sarawak! 😋 Must-Try Spot: Maguro Japanese Ala Carte Buffet Plot 41, Fl 7, Gala City Commercial Centre, SL 89, Jalan Tun Jugah, Taman Daya, 93350 Kuching, Sarawak Open daily, 12pm–2:30pm, 5:30pm–9:30pm. Tip: Book ahead for weekend dinners (tables fill FAST!). What’s special? Every dish arrives straight from the kitchen—nothing sits out, so the quality is spot-on. Prices are fixed, so go all out and try something risky off the menu (the salmon belly is criminally good, trust me). 🍤🍚 Also, you don’t need to rush. Unlimited orders, relaxed pace. How to get there: Use Grab to reach Gala City; parking can be busy at peak hours. If you’re already in town, it’s just a 10-minute ride from Kuching Waterfront. The complex is easy to spot and has lots of eateries, so Maguro stands out with its minimal wood decor. Extra tips: Fill up on sashimi, but save space for their dessert selection at the end! Card payment accepted, but bring some cash for drinks or tipping. Weather in Kuching is hot—buffet is indoors and air-conditioned (a major plus). #KuchingFoodie #MalaysiaBuffets #SushiLover #EatInSarawak #Tripdotcom#mytraveldiary
