BBQ King Seafood • Jalan Song — Restaurant in Sarawak

As a frequent visitor, I can say that it never fails to impress. The quality of the food remains consistent, ensuring a satisfying dining experience every time for me.

Upon my first visit, I immediately noticed that the menu differed from other local restaurants, resembling the flavors of West Malaysia.

The bamboo clam was delicious, with a slight tangy, sour note that complemented it well. For drinks, we ordered the Pandan Lemongrass Tower—the jar was said to be enough for five people, but if you’re a “heavy” drinker, you might need a second round, as we did.
