If you are in Penang and craving for Sarawak local delights, Carpenter Street Cafe in Bandar Bayan Baru will be your choice.

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.

7,779 thoughts on “Carpenter Street Cafe @ Bandar Bayan Baru, Penang”

  1. Just want to recognise that someone clearly cared about how this turned out, and a look at jonathangiles confirmed that care extends across the broader site, you can feel the difference between content shipped to hit a deadline and content released because the writer was actually proud of the result for once.

  2. Worth flagging that the post handled an angle of the topic I had not seen elsewhere, and a look at tacttech 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.

  3. Thanks for taking the time to write this, it is clear that some thought went into how each point would land, and after I went through blog44within I had a better grip on the topic, real value without the usual marketing noise people have to put up with online when searching for answers.

  4. Left me wanting to read more rather than feeling burned out, that is a good sign, and a look at shiftsync confirmed there is plenty more here to explore, the kind of writing that builds appetite rather than killing it which is a rare quality on the modern open internet today across most categories of content.

  5. Solid post, the structure is easy to follow and the language stays simple even when the topic gets a bit more involved, and a look at blog44around kept that same standard going, so I left feeling like the time spent here was actually worth something for once which is rare lately.

  6. Found something quietly useful here that I expect to return to, and a stop at iolablog added more of the same, content with quiet utility ages well in a way that flashy hot takes do not and I have learned to weight quiet utility much higher when deciding what to bookmark for later use.

  7. Honestly this hits the sweet spot between detail and brevity, no rambling and no shortcuts, and a quick visit to slot333 kept that going across the related pages, the kind of place that respects your attention without trying to grab it through cheap tactics or attention seeking design choices that get tired fast.

  8. Reading this on a slow Sunday and finding it perfectly suited to a slow Sunday read, and a quick stop at fuh88 kept the same gentle pace, content that fits the mood of the moment is something I notice and remember and this site has the kind of pace that suits relaxed reading sessions especially well.

  9. Most attempts at writing on this topic feel like they are missing something and this post finally identified what was missing, and a look at devatoll extended that diagnostic clarity, content that names what is wrong with adjacent treatments while doing better itself is content with both critical and constructive value and this site has both.

  10. Bookmark added with a small mental note that this is a site to keep, and a look at boldtrendstation reinforced the keep status, the verb keep rather than visit captures something about how I think about this kind of site and it is a higher tier of relationship than I have with most places online today.

  11. Reading this gave me material for a conversation I needed to have anyway, and a stop at clearbrick added even more talking points, content that connects to upcoming social or professional needs rather than just being interesting in the abstract is the kind that earns priority placement in my attention these days routinely.

  12. Comfortable in tone and substantive in content, that is a hard combination to land, and a look at blog33mean kept that pairing alive across more material, this is what good editorial direction looks like in practice and the team here clearly has someone keeping a steady hand on the wheel across what they decide to publish.

  13. A piece that did not try to be timeless and ended up reading as durable anyway, and a look at ariabrawn extended that durable feel, content that stays useful past its publication date without straining for permanence is content that ages well and this site has the kind of evergreen quality that I value highly today.

  14. Reading this gave me a small sense of progress on a topic I have been slowly working through, and a stop at coilcab added another step forward, learning happens in small increments across many sources and finding sources that consistently contribute is the actual practical value of careful curation in an information rich world.

  15. Decided this was the kind of site I would defend in a discussion about good blog content, and a stop at premiumpickmarket reinforced that, very few sites earn active defence rather than passive consumption and this one has clearly crossed that threshold for me without needing any explicit pitch from the writers themselves either.

  16. Reading this on a long flight and finding it the best thing I read across hours of trying, and a stop at blog33me kept the streak going, when content beats long flight reading you know it has substance because flight reading is a hard test of a piece given the alternatives available everywhere.

  17. Felt the post had been written without looking over its shoulder, and a look at baroncleat continued that confident posture, content written for its own sake rather than against imagined critics has a different quality and this site reads as written from a place of confidence rather than defensive justification of every claim.

  18. Comfortable reading experience throughout, no jarring tone shifts and no awkward formatting, and a look at webfactor kept that smooth feel going, the kind of editorial polish that goes unnoticed when present but glaring when absent is something this site has clearly invested in across the broader content as well which deserves recognition.

  19. Looking through other posts here the consistency is what makes the site valuable rather than any single piece, and a stop at dynocode extended that consistency observation, sites whose value lies in the ongoing pattern rather than in standout posts are sites I trust more deeply and this one has clearly built that kind of trust.

  20. A piece that demonstrated competence without performing it, and a look at sparkroot maintained the same self assured but unshowy register, the gap between competence and performance of competence is one I track and this site has clearly chosen to demonstrate rather than perform which I find much more persuasive as a reader.

  21. Picked something concrete from the post that I will use immediately, and a look at blog66grounds added another concrete piece, content that produces immediately useful output rather than just abstract appreciation is content that earns its place in my regular rotation without needing any further evaluation from me at this point honestly.

  22. Reading this in three sittings because the day was fragmented, and the piece survived the fragmentation, and a stop at drivedeck held up under similar reading conditions, content engineered for continuous attention is fragile in modern conditions and this site reads as durable across the realistic ways people consume content today.

  23. Closed the tab and immediately reopened it ten minutes later because I wanted to reread a part, and a stop at logicloft drew the same return, content that pulls you back after closing it is doing something well beyond the average and worth marking as exceptional in my mental catalogue of reliable sites.

  24. Came in for one specific question and got answers to three I had not even thought to ask, and a look at cotboil extended that bonus value pattern, the kind of resource that anticipates reader needs rather than just answering the literal question asked is the gold standard and this site reaches it.

  25. Quietly building a case in my head for why this site deserves more attention than it currently seems to receive, and a look at fluxengine reinforced the case, the gap between quality and recognition is a recurring frustration in independent online content and this site is one of the cases that seems particularly egregious to me today.

  26. Glad I gave this fifteen minutes rather than the usual three minute skim, and a look at coilclose earned the same investment, time spent on quality content is rarely wasted but the reverse is also true and learning which sites deserve which kind of attention is part of being a careful online reader.

  27. Worth saying that the prose reads naturally without straining for style, and a stop at astrobrunch maintained the same unforced quality, writing that achieves elegance without effort is the highest tier and this site has clearly worked out how to land that effortless quality consistently rather than only on the writers best days.

  28. Now adjusting my expectations upward for the topic based on this post, and a stop at blog33nice continued that bar raising effect, content that resets what I think is possible on a subject is doing real work in shaping my standards and this site is providing those bar raising experiences at a notable rate during sessions.

  29. Glad to find something on this topic that does not start with three paragraphs of throat clearing before getting to the point, and a stop at blog44wait also dives right in, respect for the readers time shows up in small editorial choices like this and they add up to a real difference quickly.

  30. Coming back to this one, definitely, and a quick visit to devplain only made me more sure of that, the kind of writing that makes you want to set aside time later rather than rushing through it now while distracted by everything else competing for attention on the screen today across so many tabs.

  31. Found the writing surprisingly fresh for what is by now a well covered topic, and a stop at ozoneosprey kept that freshness going across the related pages, original perspective on familiar ground is hard to come by and this site has clearly earned its place in the conversation rather than just rehashing old ideas.

  32. If I had encountered this site five years ago I would have been telling everyone about it, and a look at ridgegrid extended that retrospective enthusiasm, the version of me who used to recommend favourite blogs frequently would have made sure friends knew about this one and that earlier enthusiasm is partially returning to me here.

  33. Speaking as someone who used to recommend blogs frequently and got out of the habit this site is rekindling that impulse, and a look at softplateau extended the rekindling, the recovery of an old habit triggered by encountering work that justifies it is itself a small kind of pleasure and this site is providing that recovery experience.

  34. This actually answered the question I had been searching for, and after I checked oedipusblog I had a few more pieces I had not realised I needed, that is the sign of a site that knows what its readers want before they even know how to ask it which is impressive.

  35. Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up.

    The text in your article seem to be running off the screen in Chrome.

    I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you
    know. The layout look great though! Hope you get the problem solved soon. Thanks

  36. A thoughtful read in a week that has been mostly noisy, and a look at gammagrid carried that thoughtful quality across more pages, finding pockets of considered writing in a week of distractions is one of the small wins of careful curation and this site is providing those pockets at a sustainable rate.

  37. Generally I do not leave comments but this post merits a small note, and a stop at ridgeroutey extended that comment worthy quality, the urge to actively contribute to a sites community rather than passively consume from it is something specific content provokes and this site has provoked that engagement urge from me today.

  38. Looking at this from the perspective of someone tired of generic content the contrast is striking, and a look at appplateau maintained that distinctive feel, sites with strong editorial identity stand out against the bland background of algorithmic content and this one has clearly developed an identity worth recognising through careful attention.

  39. Reading this slowly to give it the attention it deserved, and a stop at nexusnode earned the same slow read, choosing to read slowly is a small act of respect for content quality and very few sites earn that respect from me but this one did so without any explicit ask which is the cleanest way.

  40. Worth recognising the specific care that went into how this post ended, and a look at digitalgoodscorner maintained the same careful conclusions, endings are where most blog content falls apart and this site has clearly invested in the closing stretches of its pieces rather than letting them simply trail off when energy fades.

  41. A small thank you note from me to the team behind this work, the post earned it, and a stop at richardking suggested more thanks would be in order over time, recognising the people who do good writing online is something I try to remember to do because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity unfortunately.

  42. Reading this prompted me to dig into a related topic later, and a stop at devseed provided some of the starting points for that follow up reading, content that triggers further exploration rather than satisfying curiosity completely is content with real generative energy and this site has plenty of that energy throughout it.

  43. Glad I clicked through from where I did because this turned out to be worth the time spent, and after weborchard I had a fuller picture, the kind of content that earns its visitors through delivering value rather than chasing them through aggressive advertising or constant pop ups appearing everywhere on the screen lately.

  44. Generally I do not leave comments but this post merits a small note, and a stop at smartcartarena extended that comment worthy quality, the urge to actively contribute to a sites community rather than passively consume from it is something specific content provokes and this site has provoked that engagement urge from me today.

  45. Time spent here today felt productive in the way that good reading sessions sometimes do, and a stop at devstream extended that productive feeling across the rest of the morning, the difference between productive reading and merely passing time is real and this site is consistently on the productive side for me lately.
