My youngest Aunty Lisa & Uncle Billie treated us to a wonderful dinner at Hakka Cuisine Restaurant in Kuching — featuring comforting Hakka flavours by Chef Ryan from Huzhou, Guangdong, Gold Award winner at the Borneo Culinary World Cup 2026. 🏆

We had:

🍲 Chicken Herbal Soup

🍗 Hakka-Style Salt-Baked Shredded Chicken

🍤 Tomato Prawns

🥚 Manicai Fried Eggs

🥒 Bitter Gourd with Salted Egg

🐷 Grand Hakka Braised Pork Belly

🌶️ Pork Ribs with Black Bean & Chili

🥘 Grand Hakka Beef Tripe & Radish Claypot

🦑 Dry-Steamed Cuttlefish in Supreme Soy Sauce

Every dish was packed with that nostalgic Hakka taste — bold, hearty and full of homestyle comfort.

And we ended with Crispy Fried Chicken Wings & Crispy Apam Balik from Peach Garden Food Court!

Hakka cuisine is all about generous flavours, hearty dishes and food meant to be shared — making our family dinner feel extra warm and homey. ❤️

... Read moreDuring my recent visit to Hakka Cuisine Restaurant in Kuching, I was truly impressed by how the rich traditions of Hakka cuisine were lovingly preserved and presented. The unique combination of bold flavors and homestyle comfort resonated deeply with me, reminding me of the importance of family meals that bring everyone together. One standout dish was the Chicken Herbal Soup, which delivered a perfect balance of aromatic herbs and tender chicken, warming us from the inside out. I also appreciated how the Hakka-Style Salt-Baked Shredded Chicken offered a distinctive savory yet subtle saltiness, highlighting the chef’s mastery of traditional cooking techniques. The meal was a celebration of communal dining, with hearty plates like the Grand Hakka Braised Pork Belly and Pork Ribs with Black Bean & Chili designed to be shared and savored slowly. The interplay of spices and textures in these dishes illustrated why Hakka cuisine is beloved for its generosity and depth. Adding to the delightful experience was the Dry-Steamed Cuttlefish in Supreme Soy Sauce, revealing the delicate yet intense flavors that seafood lovers will appreciate. Finishing off with Crispy Fried Chicken Wings and the nostalgic Crispy Apam Balik was a perfect touch, combining crunchy textures with familiar sweetness. For anyone visiting Kuching or looking to explore authentic Hakka food, I highly recommend stopping by Jalan Song at Tabuan Heights. This restaurant not only offers a satisfying culinary experience but also connects you to the rich cultural heritage of the Hakka people through every dish served. It’s a gem for food enthusiasts eager to discover bold, hearty, and heartfelt flavors in a welcoming setting.

Feeling lost in my 20s
Since I was 15, I wanted to be a PE teacher as I loved sports and thought that a teaching career was rather stable and offered various benefits such as paid school holidays etc. I went to RP to study sports as that was most relevant and would give me a boost when I applied to NIE in the future.
