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. Solid information that lines up with what I have been hearing from other reliable sources, and after my visit to helioflow I was even more certain of that, this site checks out which is something I value highly when so many places online play loose with the facts to chase a quick click.

  2. Now setting aside time on my next free afternoon to read more from the archives, and a stop at blog33morning confirmed that time will be well spent, the rare site whose archive deserves a dedicated reading session rather than just casual sampling is the kind of resource worth scheduling around and this one qualifies clearly.

  3. Liked that the post landed without needing to manufacture controversy or take a contrarian stance for attention, and a stop at webharbor continued that grounded approach, content that earns attention through quality rather than provocation is the kind that builds long term trust rather than burning it on quick wins.

  4. Si necesitas retirar amianto de tu vivienda, es importante que tengas en cuenta algunas consideraciones clave. Primero, debes saber que la retirada de uralita está regulada por el Real Decreto 396 2006. Esto implica que el proceso debe ser realizado por profesionales certificados. Además, el retirada uralita precio m2 se calcula en función de la superficie. Si estás buscando información más detallada, te recomiendo que consultes real decreto 396 2006, donde encontrarás todo lo necesario para tomar la mejor decisión. También puedes averiguar si hay subvenciones para retirar uralita en tu zona y así reducir los costes. Recuerda que este trabajo requiere extremar las precauciones.

  5. Now planning to recommend this site in a context where my recommendations are taken seriously, and a stop at blog33much confirmed I should make that recommendation soon, the small but real act of recommending content into spaces where my taste matters is something I take seriously and this site is worth the recommendation.

  6. Worth pointing out the careful word choice in this post, no buzzwords and no jargon, and a look at softplain continued that disciplined vocabulary, sites that resist the pull of trendy language are sites that will read well in five years and this one is clearly built for that kind of long durability.

  7. A piece that reads like it was written for me without claiming to be written for me, and a look at webprime produced the same fit, when the writer audience match clicks naturally without being engineered through demographic targeting you know the writing is solid and this site has that natural fit consistently for me.

  8. Для тех, кто планирует долгосрочное проживание в Таиланде, Elite Visa — отличное решение. С её помощью вы получите комфортные условия для тех, кто хочет жить в Таиланде. Thai Elite Visa позволяет получение визы на срок до 20 лет без нужды работать или инвестировать.

Там же вы узнаете о требованиях к участникам программы. Программа идеально подходит для тех, кто ищет комфортные условия для жизни.

  9. Worth flagging that the post handled an angle of the topic I had not seen elsewhere, and a look at kyliesbrown extended that fresh treatment, content that finds underexplored corners of well covered subjects is genuinely valuable and this site has demonstrated that exploratory editorial approach across multiple pieces in my reading sessions today.

  10. Speaking from the perspective of having read widely on the topic this site offers something distinct, and a look at betabright reinforced that distinctness, the rare site that contributes something genuinely original to a saturated topic is the rare site worth following carefully and this one has demonstrated that original contribution capability today.

  11. Picked up a couple of new ideas here that I can actually try out, and after my visit to rebeccasbrown I have even more notes saved, this is the kind of resource that pays you back for the time you spend on it which is rare to come across in this corner of the web.

  12. Closed it feeling I had taken something away rather than just consumed something, and a stop at slatekit extended that taking away feeling, the difference between content I extract value from and content I just pass through is something I track informally and this site is consistently in the value extraction column for me.

  13. Reading this prompted me to dig out an old reference book related to the topic, and a stop at blog66pain extended that connection to other sources, content that connects me back to my own existing knowledge rather than asking me to forget it is content with continuity and this site has that continuous quality.
