Everytime when I go back to Kuching, kueh chap is one of the must do in my agenda. I normally go to Petanak Market or a stall at Siang Siang 3rd Mile. I used to visit the stall at Bishop Gate but finding parking spot there is horrible. My friend suggested that I should check out kueh chap at Bintawa since I’ve not tried it before so he was kind enough to fetch me one evening and drove me there.
My favourite stall #33 whenever I dine at Top Spot Seafood at Taman Kereta, Kuching.

This was Asher’s first night out. We took him for dinner with his cousins Ika and Russell at SideWalk Cafe @ Green Heights, just 5 mins drive from BDC.
Kuching Open Air Market has been a landmark for hungry souls in search of authentic Kuching food. It’s strategic location i.e. in the heart of Kuching City, surrounded by pre-colonial shophouses, Electra House (the first shopping mall in Kuching), major bus stations (Sarawak Transport Company, Bau-Kuching Transport Company, Matang Transport company and Chin Lian Long (CLL) bus company) and rented vehicles station makes the place accessible to all walks of life. Besides Kuchingites, folks from the rural areas would dropped by here for lunch or to quench their thirst before they continue the long trip back to their kampungs (villages).
What I find unique about Kuching Open Air Market is that, it is also a traffic roundabout.
