Dad was really excited to bring us here. So, we went there for dinner on our 2nd day in Kuching. We ordered familiar dishes such as linut, umai, tumpik and nasi goreng dabai. My nephew had their ‘mi sup’ but it turned out to be spicy – probably due to its white pepper.

Linut is known in other Bornean states as Ambuyat. It is a sticky paste like thing you eat with it’s condiments. The set was out of stock, so we had it with just the sambal. The umai was OK – it is quite hard to give it a rating because we all know our (late) mom’s umai is the best. Dad loved the nasi goreng dabai but I preferred the one I cook at home. Ha ha. The tumpik was exceptionally delicious. It is simple but appetizing at the same time.

Overall, it was a great dining experience. I would definitely come back here for it’s linut and tumpik.

This place is located at Metrocity where all the modern eating happens. Meaning that there are a few good restaurants located nearby. So, lots of food options for everyone. I noticed that there is one particular ice cream shop that keeps popping up everywhere but have yet to try it. Maybe something to explore during my next trip to Kuching.
