So this is what they’re known for the cucur udang, or prawn fritters. Crispy on the outside, soft inside, served with their special peanuty, slightly spicy sauce. You can also get other local favourites here like mee jawa, laksa Sarawak, and rojak.

Alright, let’s give it a try. Mmm! That crunch is everything! You can really taste the fresh prawns and that nostalgic flavour locals grew up with. The sauce has this perfect balance of sweet, spicy and nutty totally addictive!
