Kuching Big Veggie — Restaurant in Sarawak

Food overall was great. YZ Fried rice was my kids favourite came with wok hei taste and same goes to olive fried but unable to taste much of olive or was it using dabai..? Sambal eggplants not to my preference, would expect balado style. Salted veggies soup was at hit, both kids and adults loves it! However, cant ssy the same for hot and sour soup, mild not spicy and no kicks in it... I think not enough of Sezhuan peppers? Claypot rice Veggies was huge disappointment as the rice wasn't "burnt" and and the ingredients along with it smelled fishy. The vegetarian fish and the other items in it has to bake dried in order to get rid of the chewy yet slime texture; definitely tastes awful as the entire claypot rice just undercooked. It could be better if you twist the style a little 😉 Cleanliness could be an issue if cleaning equipment laid open infront of customers, worse next to customers' table. Major turn off for me! Neatly tucked away awful looking mop and bucket and other rag cleaning clothes. The server wasn't happy as I told her to move it away from my table... who want to sit next to a dirty looking mop and bucket? Lastly, why food preparation was not within the kitchen premises? For example, the staff was bbq satay outside back of the kitchen literally under the rain, well of someone was holding the umbrella! I mean it just an eyes sore, no..? If no rain, the staff has to do it under the hot midday sun??? TREAT OTHERS THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED, RESPECT. It's two way traffic....

Menu has interesting variety and includes the usual local food like Sarawak Kolo mee and crispy tomato mee.

The co-owner was gracious to explain what's on menu when asked and we tried out some recommended by her. We had the iced matcha with baked cheese drink. Yes, you read it right: baked cheese in the matcha drink! She recommend it drink straight up instead of using straw to taste the cheese and matcha at the same time. It's an amazing combination and something new.

Their signature tofu is another interesting one because it's homemade and one of the tofu is black in colour: as explained to us on why it is so, it's not because of bamboo charcoal as one of the ingredient and not soaked in black colouring to attain this colour.

They are open from 9.30am till 2pm and then there's a break in between. They open 5.30pm again until 9pm. It does get packed especially weekends and public holidays so call to check and they can reserve a...

Tried trice, bad impression on the last two.

Though the food was acceptable, but in terms of taking orders and managing got a large room of improvement.

Pre-Order 3 dishes a day before, expecting to pickup at 1130am, reached 1120am only then they decided to cook, with the reason of saying "we want to ensure your food is hot. " Apparently it defeit the purpose of "pre-ordering" and the pickup time.

On top of it, we've been told one of the dishes are not available on the spot during the pickup. Shouldn't the restaurant inform the customer upfront if the pre-order dishes are unavailable?

Huge...
