Choon Hui Cafe
One of Kuching's most famous Sarawak laksa spots, featuring a rich, prawn-infused broth; open in the morning and often sells out early.
A neighborhood coffee shop on Jalan Ban Hock, famous for its Sarawak laksa, which is a staple on Kuching's must-eat lists. The broth is rich with prawn aroma and well-balanced, costing around RM10 for a regular bowl and RM13 for a special version with extra prawns. The fresh popiah (spring rolls) are another reason local regulars keep coming back, and Fuzhou kompia is sometimes available in the morning. Expect a 15–20 minute wait and table-sharing on weekends; visiting between 07:30 and 09:00 on weekdays is recommended to avoid the Sunday morning rush. The laksa is sold until it runs out. Cash only, and there is no ATM inside. Non-halal.
Opening hours
Around 07:00 until morning or early afternoon, laksa sold until finished; generally closed on Mondays
