Top Spot Food Court

Top choice in Kuching


This neon-lit courtyard and its half-dozen humming seafood stalls sits, rather improbably, on the roof of a concrete parking garage. Don't be pressured into sitting at the first stall you come to – the staff are as good at catching customers as they are at netting fish. Check out the stalls for the freshest fish and then grab a table.

A perennial favourite among local foodies. Barbecued white pomfret or red snapper are recommended, as are the prawns and squid. Cold Tiger beer is available from separate drinks stalls.
