驿站 The Post, Siniawan — Restaurant in Sarawak

We headed to Siniawan for the evening and stumbled across The Post. As soon as we walked in we were greeted with smiles and kindness. We sat at the bar and sampled local drinks with the owner Evangeline. She made us feel so comfortable and talked us through all the drinks they had and suggested some traditional food for us to try which was really tasty. She also talked to us about the local and Chinese traditions. She also went incredibly out of her way to help us get home to Kuching (we advise prebooking transport if you end up staying longer like we did - it massively appreciated) It really made our evening and if you are in Siniawan you have to go here and set aside some time to relax and enjoy the beautifully decorated space and chatting to the staff. We will be back to sample more of what they...

The spare ribs packed a wollop. Chunky, crispy and flavoursome. Eaten freshly deep fried is the way to enjoy them in my opnion.

Amazing food! Mostly local families and that’s how you know the food is authentic. We had an absolute feast. Braised pork had the perfect amount of aromatics and sambal midin was one of the best we had in Kuching. Lastly the chicken soup with Iban sour eggplants was my most favorite of all with pleasant tanginess.

Great atmosphere and all the staffs were friendly as well. They even helped us book a car back to the city as there was no grab at all in the area.

I almost forgot to mention that they have varieties of Tuak as well! Pineapple and black sticky rice versions are so so good.

You simply cannot miss this place if you are looking for a hearty dinner at Siniawan...
