SUKA MAKAN: KANTIN @ THE GRANARY IN KUCHING (SARAWAK)



Guess where we ate the most times while we were in Kuching, Sarawak? That has to be Kantin @ The Granary, not just because it's within the grounds of our hotel, but also because the local and fusion fare is simply delicious. We had already heard about it from a friend originally from Kuching, and then we tried it for ourselves. Simply no regrets.


Apologies for remaining open!

Surprisingly, it does not feel hot in here
even when it's sweltering outside!

The place feels friendly, and local

The setting is almost industrial, a non air-conditioned canteen within a large shed which could even pass as a garage for vehicles and small aircraft. Its non-pretentious ambience is completed negated by its interesting menu of local, Western and fusion favourites, and excellent service from its friendly staff. Almost every dish is described as a "jungle" this or that as if it is an honour of sorts. Jungle fried rice and jungle pasta were among the items we tried, and we were not disappointed.   

 

Iced milk tea and Cappuccino


Jungle chicken chop

The sotong dish that 95% of people order,
so they say at the Kantin

The ensemble is completed by
Jungle fried rice with fried cauliflower

Jungle pasta, which has sliced duck 
and a kind of local pesto sauce
Hawaiian Sarawak pizza,
with pineapple, ayam pansuh on thin crust.

This constituted a light meal,
and there were absolutely no leftovers

Washed down by a tall glass of
Iced Teh C, as recommended by the staff
