Ken’s Kitchen Kuching — Restaurant in Borneo

I went here on a special occasion with my girlfriend, saw plenty of reviews about this restaurant through tiktok and decided that we should try it out. I must say we both ended up being disappointed with the food that we ordered which were 2 spaghetti aglio olio. Here's why, it costs RM35 for a plate, sure I have no problem in paying that amount. But, look at the portion, 3 mussels and 3 prawns with all of it being baby-sized, seriously?? And the portion of the noodles itself is not even that lot, I reckon you can finish it under 5 scoops. I understand that Saradise is where the elites go to and that we often see the high-life there. But come on, pricing this spaghetti at RM35 with this kind of portion, no one's gonna be full or satisfied with that kind of price. If you come from a lot of money where spending that range of money is like taking out a penny from your bank account then sure it shouldn't be a problem. But for someone like me where I have to work my butt off just to reward myself something nice once in a while, it's definitely not worth a single bit. Sure you can price it at RM40 I still wouldn't mind paying but at least make the portion more bigger and more filling for us consumers. To be fair, i'd probably pay like RM20-25 max for this kind of portion. With that being said, the positive thing about this restaurant is that the customer service is fairly great, the staff were being friendly and guided us along the way. I'm not sure if I would want to come back here with that...

Beautiful restaurant that exudes luxury yet a casual vibe. Theres indoor and outdoor seating. Staffs were friendly and attentive, service was quick. They explained the menu and the recommended foods. Price was reasonable with the quality and quantity of the dishes.

Heres what we ordered: CHICKEN AVOCADO SALAD. A well balanced salad with the most flavourful chicken. The chicken was the star of this salad, tender and well marinated, herby and spiciness from the cayenne or paprika used. It had a good amount of avocado and the vinaigrette was very light, not outshining the flavour of the chicken.

PULLED BEEF SANDWICH. Very tender, juicy and flavourful pulled beef sandwhich. The pulled beef was well seasoned and relied on the natural taste of the beef with no heavy sauces like BBQ. It was not too sweet but very savory. The bread was toasted nicely and wasn’t soggy. Served with your choice of fries, we choose sweet potato fries which were sweet and crunchy.

SPICY SEAFOOD AGLIO OLIO. Very light, seafood taste was subtle, no fishy/ocean taste, prawns were fresh. Tonnes of garlic used but flavour was not overpowering at all. Spiciness relied on the cut cili but overall wasn’t spicy. A nice dish if you’re into something light.

We really enjoyed our meal here and would love to come back to try more of the dishes. Definitely recommended...

Have always wanted to try their Sarawak Black Pepper pasta. It was unfortunate I couldn't try it with it's original settings with seafood as I am allergic to seafood but the team and chef ken was kind enough to replace it with turkey ham. Even with the modification, the pasta was still delicious. Tummy was satisfied and another dish checked off of the list. Next dish I would like to try is the steaks premium ribeye as I have heard a lot of positive feedbacks about the steaks. So that would be definitely be on the top of my list for my next visit. Not to mention I have tasted the pizza specifically the Hawaii pizza. The crispy thin crust and toppings are magnificent. It was worth the wait. The attention to details in every dish made me fall in love with their hard work, talent and creativity. The staffs are also very friendly and attentive. They made sure we were comfortable and able to enjoy our dinner that night. The atmosphere was very chilly and calm. Plus the cleanliness was kept very tidily which is something we should expect in a fine dining restaurant. I hope they keep up the hard work and wish them the best in future...
