About Carpenter Street Cafe
Carpenter Street Cafe, named after a famous Chinatown street in Kuching Sarawak, brings to you the taste of Kuching’s specialty dishes including Kolomee and Sarawak Laksa. Why fly to Kuching when you could enjoy these in Penang?

Most of the restaurants are using own ordering method. Carpenter Street Cafe is also using the same concept. However, I think the container for the soy sauce and pepper can be changed to a better one. Those are like the one used in coffee shop and not a restaurant, don’t you think so?

Ice Honey Green Tea RM1.50 and Mango Ice RM3.50. Nothing to shout about on the drinks. I managed to taste on the Mango Ice and what I can say is, it is same as those from the outside. Mango Syrup is used, I assume. I am not really like it. This is only my own preference, no offense, I am very particular on Mango.

Sarawak Kolomee RM5.90. Sarawak Kolomee is a signature dish in Sarawak. Dried noodle with Mince Meat, Char Siew (BBQ Pork), Fried Red Onion and Vegetable. A must try of authentic taste of Sarawak. It is available in either dried (Kolo), red (Char Siew oil) or soup flavor.

From the Sarawak Tourism Board,
Kolok Mee is a type of noodle dish commonly found in Sarawak. It is served throughout the day – for breakfast, lunch or even supper. It is made of egg noodle, blanched in water that looks like instant noodle and served in a light sauce with some condiments like shredded beef.

The difference with Kolok Mee and the Wantan Mee, that is popular in Peninsular, is that Kolok Mee is not drenched in dark soy sauce and water is not added to the noodles when served. But the taste is still pretty amazing.

I opt for the dry version. It is really DRY, totally no gravy at all. Sometimes, I will have my Wantan Mee in a very dry version as well, so this is not an issue for me. The Char Siew is soft and the Fried Red Onion tastes good.

Sarawak Tomato Noodle RM7.90. Sarawak Tomato Noodle is a Sarawak local specialty with deep fried Kolomee served in special tomato soup originate from Sarawak.

Sarawak Tomato Noodle looks like the Sizzling Plate Noodle to me. Just that the gravy is tomato base. As you can see, the ingredients are almost the same. The tomato gravy has a little spiciness. It will be better if the Tomato gravy is thicker. Presentation wise, the noodle is not placed in the center of the plate. It is almost reaching the edge.

Interior.

Overall, the Kolomee is not bad. I cannot do a comparison since I don’t have the chance to try the real Kolomee in Sarawak. Too bad, no one order the Sarawak Laksa for this round. I will go back and try that in future. Besides the Sarawak Laksa, I also wish to try the Kolomee in Char Siew Oil. Not sure will it be too oily? The price for the food is pretty reasonable. To date, Carpenter Street Cafe doesn’t have any set meal menu. Maybe they can think of having it. Anyhow, Carpenter Street Cafe is definitely your One Stop for Authentic Sarawak Food. Do give it a try if you passed by.

  1. Skipped the comments to avoid spoilers and came back later to find them genuinely worth reading, and a stop at vividcartcorner extended that surprised respect, when the discussion below a post matches the quality of the post itself you have found something special and this site appears to attract that kind of audience.

  2. Liked that the post left some questions open rather than pretending to settle everything, and a stop at trendycartstation continued that intellectual honesty, content that respects the limits of its own claims is more trustworthy than content that overreaches and this site has clearly figured out which positions it can defend confidently.

  3. Well done, the writing is professional without being stiff, and the topic is treated with care, and a look at stylishgoodsstation reflected that approach, the kind of site I would point a colleague to if they asked for a reliable starting point on this topic in the future without any hesitation at all.

  4. Interesting blog! Is your theme custom made or did you
    download it from somewhere? A design like yours with a few simple adjustements would
    really make my blog shine. Please let me know where you got your theme.
    Cheers

  5. Found this really helpful, the explanations are simple but they actually answer the questions a normal reader would have, and after I followed urbanpetalstore I had a clearer sense of the topic, no extra fluff just useful points laid out in a sensible order that made the time worth it.

  6. Worth recognising that this site does not chase the daily news cycle, and a stop at shopneststore confirmed the longer publication arc, sites that resist the pressure to comment on every passing event are sites with genuine editorial discipline and this one has clearly chosen depth over volume which I respect deeply.

  8. Felt like I was reading something written by someone who actually thinks about the topic rather than reciting it, and a look at goldenpetalmarket reinforced that impression, the difference between recited content and considered content is huge and this site clearly belongs to the latter category which I appreciate as a careful reader looking for substance.

  9. Over the course of reading several posts here a pattern of quality has emerged, and a stop at hypercartarena confirmed the pattern, the difference between sites that hit quality occasionally and sites that hit it consistently is huge and this site has clearly demonstrated the consistent kind through what I have read this morning.

  10. Worth saying that this is one of the better things I have read on the topic in months, and a stop at urbanbuyarena reinforced that ranking, the topic is well covered by many sources but few do it with this level of care and the few that do deserve to be flagged so other readers can find them.

  11. Worth your time, that is the simplest endorsement I can give, and a stop at brighttrendmarket extends that endorsement across the rest of the site, this is one of those increasingly rare places that delivers on what it promises rather than over selling the content and under delivering on substance every time which I find frustrating elsewhere.

  12. Felt like I was reading something written by someone who actually thinks about the topic rather than reciting it, and a look at globalcartcenter reinforced that impression, the difference between recited content and considered content is huge and this site clearly belongs to the latter category which I appreciate as a careful reader looking for substance.

  13. A particular kind of restraint shows up in the writing, and a look at lunarpetalcorner maintained the same restraint across pages, knowing what not to say is just as important as knowing what to say and this site has clearly developed strong instincts on both sides of that editorial line throughout pieces I have read.

  14. Felt the writer was being honest with the reader which is rare enough that I want to acknowledge it, and a look at stylishpickzone continued that honest feel, content built on actual knowledge rather than aggregated summaries is something I value highly and rarely come across in regular searches on the open internet these days.

  15. Reading this confirmed that my time researching the topic in other places had not been wasted, and a stop at crystalfieldstore extended the confirmation, when independent sources agree that is a useful signal and this site is one of the more reliable sources I have found for cross checking what I read elsewhere on similar subjects.

  16. Once I had read three posts the editorial pattern was clear, and a look at silveroakcorner confirmed the pattern from a fourth angle, sites where the underlying approach reveals itself through accumulated reading rather than being announced are sites with real depth and this one has that quality clearly visible across multiple pieces consistently.

  17. Now leaving a small mental note to recommend this when the topic comes up in conversation, and a look at digitaltrendcorner extended that recommend ready feeling, content that arms me with shareable references for likely future conversations is content with social value and this site is providing that conversational ammunition consistently for me lately.

  18. Говорит, что даже из дома закрыл. если ты не можешь прийти лично. ЕГИСЗ — это когда не надо тратить полдня. Телемедицина врач врач — врач видит твою историю. Советую глянуть источник: работа врачом телемедицины https://engineerzone.ru И про ЕГИСЗ Росминздрав для врачей. И не надо никуда бежать.

  19. Glad the writer kept this short rather than padding it out, the points stand on their own without needing extra context, and a look at twilightpetalmarket kept the same approach going, brevity is a sign of confidence in the substance and the team here clearly trusts their content to land without filler.

  20. Now appreciating the way the post avoided the temptation to be longer than necessary, and a look at brighttrendstation continued that lean approach, content with the discipline to stop when finished rather than padding for length is content that respects both itself and its readers and this site has that disciplined editorial culture clearly throughout.

  21. A clear case of writing that does not try to do too much in one post, and a look at goodscarthub maintained the same scoped discipline, posts that try to cover too much end up covering nothing well and this site has clearly chosen scope discipline as a core editorial principle which shows up clearly in what I read.
