Sarawak‘s food is just amazing, and the only problem you will have being a vegan is not to gain 10kg 🙂
Kuching
?Sin Wei Tong cafe – has a vegetarian stall, great food around 5RM per dish. some dishes have an egg but can request without.
?Shun son yen – vegetarian restaurant by the kilo, with delicious food and fresh juices I paid around 15RM for my meal. Make sure you go early to have all the options still available because the food goes quickly. You can try a bit of everything.
? water front – there are food stalls and restaurants that have great vegan options.
?Zhen Xiang Zhai, delicious food and a good place to try the Sarawak laksa, they close at 3pm. A meal with drinks will cost around 15RM you can choose from the buffet or order off their menu.
?open marker – a lovely local place to explore.
?Food fair, at the time you are visiting Kuching check if they have a food fair, they have all kinds of food, but be prepared for a crowded place.
Bau
?Bau food court– One of the food stalls serves exclusively great vegan food but other stalls still have a few options, have a look and ask around.

Wow! This food looks super yummy! I was in Borneo in September for two months and had some amazing vegan food while I was there, this post has made me excited for my trip back in Sept 2018!
that’s great I would like to come back as well 🙂 all the luck for your travels ? let me know if you know any other places or food to add to my post 😉
Will do!
Thanks – have bookmarked so I can view when I finally make it to Sarawak.
I notice you also dared to eat the durian crisps. Horrible.
I like to try everything ? I’m writing a post about my trip in Sarawak, that would be more useful in case you are planing a visit 😉
You keep inspiring us to our fall trip to Asia! all looks and sounds amazing. We can’t wait. Thanks for sharing!
