The secret to Kuching’s food is in its communities. Over 40 ethnic groups and all the cultural blending they are capable of has led to the vast array of cuisines and gastronomic creativity that Kuching has on offer.
Our gastronomy sector is highly diversified, one of the largest employers in Sarawak. Market traders, hawkers and coffeeshop owners, sharing space in food courts and kopitiam across the city, restauranteurs, cottage producers and agroproneurs all make our food sector what it is – vibrant, distinctive, innovative, connected. Here we go behind the scenes to see what drives them.
