A Taste of Sarawak in the Heart of Melaka—Don’t Miss This Hidden Gem!

Tucked away in the charming streets of Melaka is a culinary gem that transports you straight to Sarawak—a cozy restaurant run by a warm, friendly couple whose passion for their heritage shines through every detail. From the moment I stepped in, the owners’ genuine hospitality and the restaurant’s thoughtfully curated decor, adorned with Sarawakian crafts , made me feel like I was dining in a loved one’s home rather than a commercial eatery. The star of the meal? Without a doubt, the Mee Poh (can’t recall the actual name of the dish), a dish I’m already craving as I write this. The springy noodles, tossed in a plain looking savory sauce with a hint of pork lard, were utterly addictive. While the Lor Mee (rich broth with tender braised meats served separately) and Kolo Mee (springy noodles with aromatic minced pork) were excellent, the Mee Poh stole the show. Every bite felt like a celebration of Sarawak’s culinary soul. By the way, the Mee poh is made in-house to ensure quality and consistency. What makes this place truly special is the owners’ dedication to authenticity. They source some of their ingredients from Sarawak, ensuring every dish stays true to its roots. As I ate, the couple shared stories of Sarawak’s food history—how daily meals reflect the state’s multicultural tapestry—and their pride in preserving these traditions was palpable. Now, I’m already dreading the withdrawal pangs when I return to Singapore! If you’re in Melaka, do not miss this spot. It’s more than a meal—it’s an experience brimming with heart, heritage, and flavors that linger long after the last bite. Super recommended for anyone craving genuine Sarawakian cuisine served with a side of warmth and passion. P.S. Come hungry, leave happy—and maybe order an extra portion of Mee Poh to go! #localfood #travel #melaka #travel #malaysia #malaysiatrip
