Kedai Kopi Aik Seng — Restaurant in Sarawak

If you’re in the mood for a hearty, comforting meal, Loh Mee and Roti Bakar are two local staples you simply can’t go wrong with.

The Loh Mee is a rich bowl of goodness, with its thick, dark broth carrying deep umami flavors that cling perfectly to the noodles. The combination of the chewy noodles, tender slices of meat, and the slight tang from the vinegar adds layers of complexity to every bite. A spoonful of garlic or sambal elevates the dish, providing a kick that complements the savory broth, leaving you craving for more.

On the side, the Roti Bakar offers a delightful contrast with its light, crispy toast slathered with butter and kaya. The sweetness of the kaya paired with the salty, melting butter creates a perfect balance—simple yet irresistible. It’s a nostalgic treat that brings comfort with each bite.

To top off the meal, a glass of Kopi Peng is the ideal accompaniment. Strong and fragrant, with the perfect balance of bitterness and sweetness, this chilled coffee is refreshing and robust, cutting through the richness of the Loh Mee and complementing the lightness of the Roti Bakar. It’s a trio that makes for an unforgettable meal, whether for breakfast,...

20years back is a high end cafe outlet, but now without air conditioning and proper cleaning, it feels a bit run down.

As always, the crowd is overwhelming. Tables are full, but waiting time still considerable acceptable.

Ordering is a bit chaotic with waiter shouting to the kitchen at the back.

Food preparation time is acceptable. But additional orders are lost on the way somewhere.

Paying bills are difficult. One had to wait for the same waiter to pay.

Overall food ok. Service so so. Atmosphere...

This old coffee shop is a must-go whenever we come to Sarikei, simply because of their charcoal grilled roti kawin, so simple yet very delightful taste. They just throw in a dab of kaya (sweet coconut cream), peanut butter (is optional) and a generous slice chunk of butter to the hot grilled buns, and that's it. There were a few times when my wife and I drove all the way from Kuching to Sarikei very early in the morning, just to have these buns for breakfast, then drove back to Kuching the same day... just crazy but enjoyable, come to think of it now and that my MPV and...
