⏳ Kuching Station: Turn Back in Time! Explore the Retro Izakaya Hidden in an 80s Japanese Drama

For my Kuching food guide, I'd give Robata Yaki Japanese restaurant its top spot. Stepping inside feels like stumbling into a nostalgic scene from a Japanese drama! The decor exudes a warm, 80s vibe—not the cold, high-end feel, but a charming, retro-style eatery brimming with human warmth. Here, you can not only enjoy your meal but also have a pleasant conversation! The incredibly welcoming owner will personally greet you and chat, instantly making you feel right at home (this exceptional service is a huge plus!). The key is the food: we sampled incredibly fresh, top-quality sashimi and steaming hot ramen. The freshness of the ingredients far surpasses many expensive Japanese restaurants in big cities! Even more surprising is the price—most dishes are between RM20 and RM40, making it the epitome of value for money. 📍 Location: Robata Yaki, 2nd Floor, 493, Jln Rambutan, 93400 Kuching, Sarawak If you're looking for a relaxed atmosphere, delicious food, and a perfect place for a long chat or a romantic date, Robata Yaki is the place for you. And don't forget, their sashimi is a must-try! #FoodieFinds #RetroJapan #LakeEscape #KuchingEats #TripDotCom

Bau’s Noodle Finds✨

Kuching Waterfront

Here’s a quick guide to exploring Bau and Kuching in Sarawak — where epic caves, riverside walks, and food adventures collide! 😍🍛 Top Spots to Visit: 1. Fairy Caves (94000 Bau, Sarawak) — Open Tuesday–Sunday, 9AM–3PM. Head here for dramatic limestone caves and jaw-dropping stalactites. Don’t forget comfy shoes for the hike up! If you're feeling adventurous, this spot is a must. 2. Ceylonese Restaurant (Lot 95, Green Hill Road, Kuching 93250) — Grab supper here for seriously delicious meals and super friendly service; highly recommend the cheese naan and chicken rendang biryani! 3. Kuching Waterfront (7, Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman) — Open all day, every day! Chill out by the riverside, watch modern architecture mix with heritage buildings, and catch the vibes of locals strolling or hanging out. Even if it’s cloudy or rainy, it’s worth a wander. Travel Hacks & Tips: - Kuching’s got the nicest people — Don’t be shy to ask locals for directions or food tips! Their hospitality makes everything smoother. - Grab a taxi or local ride-hailing apps to move quickly between spots—a huge timesaver. - Bring an umbrella (rain pops up even in the daytime) and a water bottle to keep cool and comfy. - Foodwise? Sample everything, especially at small eateries. Ceylonese Restaurant is a winner for both meat-lovers and vegetarians. Weather: Cloudy with chances of rain is pretty standard here, so pack accordingly and enjoy those moody landscapes! #KuchingEats #SarawakAdventure #MalaysiaTravel #FairyCaves #WaterfrontWander

Maguro Japanese Ala Carte Buffet

Hungry in Kuching? 🍣 My latest trip was all about Maguro Japanese Ala Carte Buffet—a total food gem hiding in Gala City Commercial Centre. Think endless sushi, sashimi, fresh oysters, AND it’s all made-to-order (no more sad buffet lines!). Perfect spot for a foodie splurge in Sarawak! 😋 Must-Try Spot: Maguro Japanese Ala Carte Buffet Plot 41, Fl 7, Gala City Commercial Centre, SL 89, Jalan Tun Jugah, Taman Daya, 93350 Kuching, Sarawak Open daily, 12pm–2:30pm, 5:30pm–9:30pm. Tip: Book ahead for weekend dinners (tables fill FAST!). What’s special? Every dish arrives straight from the kitchen—nothing sits out, so the quality is spot-on. Prices are fixed, so go all out and try something risky off the menu (the salmon belly is criminally good, trust me). 🍤🍚 Also, you don’t need to rush. Unlimited orders, relaxed pace. How to get there: Use Grab to reach Gala City; parking can be busy at peak hours. If you’re already in town, it’s just a 10-minute ride from Kuching Waterfront. The complex is easy to spot and has lots of eateries, so Maguro stands out with its minimal wood decor. Extra tips: Fill up on sashimi, but save space for their dessert selection at the end! Card payment accepted, but bring some cash for drinks or tipping. Weather in Kuching is hot—buffet is indoors and air-conditioned (a major plus). #KuchingFoodie #MalaysiaBuffets #SushiLover #EatInSarawak #Tripdotcom#mytraveldiary
