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.

Went recently to Malaysia and bought a couple of Biji Sagu bags (Malaysian name to Sago Pearls), and I have been busy doing different recipes with them.
