I think Pan Mee in KL is just like Kolo Mee in Kuching. This eatery is located at Jalan Berangan. I’m not sure its Malay or English name of the place. The Chinese name for this place is 添記(老地方)板面.

I found out that they have another branch at Jalan Alor called Uncle Lim板麵(林記茶餐室). Both are pretty well-known among the locals. The two sisters are the persons behind these famous eateries.

I have problem finding the writeup of this particular place online in English. Will try my best to share more with you.

We went there for lunch. It’s was so packed!

Was quite lost in what to order. Luckily they had set lunch promotion and we went for it. It made the ordering so much easier, there’s a list there on the table. The set came with the pan mee + fish ball + meat ball + drink + a pack of facial tissue. Small set was RM7.50 and big set was RM8. There were 16 types of pan mee dishes for you to choose!

Here’s what we ordered:

Flat soup. The pan mee was served in soup along with dried anchovies, mushrooms, sweet leaf, meat balls, and fish balls.

Flat dry.

Thin dry.

All right, I know the names sound weird, I just quote from the menu.

You can choose to have herbal tea(the brownish yellowish one) or cincau(black one) for the drink either hot or cold.

It seems like Ipoh Town Kopitiam is expanding quite fast in Kuching. First outlet in Kuching is located at Boulevard Shopping Mall, then came another one at Brighton Square. Now the third one at Tun Jugah.

Their signature drink is Ipoh “White” Coffee. This roast coffee is prepared using a unique method that combines elements of modern approaches with traditional Malaysian brewing practices. The name “white coffee” is associated with Ipoh, the origin of this coffee.

They also served a variety of local favourites such as nasi lemak, curry chicken rice, variety of toast and more.

This one here is Xi Mu Milk Tea(RM2.60), I don’t drink coffee. I forgot to take photo of it, only remembered after a few sips ;p

Since it’s located at the golden triangle of Kuching, the place is always packed especially during lunch and tea breaks(morning and afternoon).

If you have My Privilege Book, you can get various offers using the coupons or just present your card and enjoy 10% off the total bill(for dine-in only).

You can also find Ipoh Town Kopitiam in Miri. I came to know about this place when I went to Miri few years back. Few years later, it finally landed here in Kuching.

The operating hour is from 10am-10pm daily.

I’m very sure that the famous kueh chap at Taman Riverview in Bintawa is no stranger to many Kuchingites. Many people said that this place serves one of the best kueh chap in Kuching. It’s operating from one of the houses in Taman Riverview but I have no idea how to tell you how to go to the place because I’m not familiar with the place and I can’t seem to recognize the road even though I had been there few times but can roughly give you the direction, I hope it leads to the right place hahaha…

You know the fishing boat roundabout at Bintawa? Take the turning on the left where you can see a yellow house with huge “L”. Go straight and you will see a market on your left, take the left junction, drive a bit more and take the first junction on the right. After that, take the first junction on the left. Go straight again and I’m sure you will not miss it because you will see many cars park around the area and it’s on your right hand side, a corner house.

Business starts at 6pm daily. The place is always packed with people. Their off days are quite hard to predict but as a simple guideline, as long that it’s public holiday or special days marked by the lunar calender(e.g Chinese New Year, Chang Festival, Mooncake Festival and etc.), they will not be opened for business.

Small – RM4/bowl

Medium – RM5/bowl

If you want large bowl, they also have it, it’s RM6/bowl.

Going to share some eateries that I’ve been to during my KL and Genting trip few months back. Expect to see some eateries from out of Kuching.


Stayed at Theme Park Hotel, Genting Highlands and the room came with complimentary breakfast for 2. The breakfast was at Restoran Happy Valley Seafood. If I’m not mistaken, they are famous for their chili crab. Too bad we didn’t get the chance to dine there for dinner.

Just showing you some of the food available for the breakfast buffet.

There were quite a variety. If you prefer continental breakfast, you can get it here.

Even Chinese, Indian, and Malay style breakfast too.

Which one do you prefer?

The also have a variety of drinks for you to choose.

There are several branches of Chilipeppers in Kuching.

This one here is located at Jalan Nanas at the row of shops somewhere opposite SCRXpress.

They served a variety of food from western to local food. You can also opt for their fast food.

Here’s the food we tried:

Signature French Toast with Peanut Butter & Honey(RM4)

Ayam Penyet(RM6.80)

Pecal Lele(RM6.80). If you are wondering what the black thing in the middle of the plate? It’s actually deep fried catfish.

Black Pepper Steak(RM14.50)
