lovely dayak cuisine and a very special tea!

Jan 2020 • none

what a find this is. a lovely little nook on a quiet street. it was well ventilated and cool inside, decorated beautifully and had ample space for dining. we ordered the char siu and the dabai tempoyak fried rice. they were both fantastic and delicious. i did see one of the reviewers mention the pork being too tough but i actually found it perfectly done. this isn't chinese or french cuisine. it is dayak and it was delicious. now the other thing that i must mention is the tuak tea. this is both a work of art and a nectar of the gods! served in an elegant glass, the blue butterfly pea tea sits playfully atop the base of crystal clear tuak. stir this drink and mix it up...then savour the ice cold and wonderfully delicious and heady mixture sip by sip. best in the world!

Great Dayak food experience!

Jan 2020 • family

My first time here. Great ambience. Definitely instagrammable place. Delicious food. Came with big family. We ordered Pork Leg Rice, Dayak Char Siew Fried Rice, Tempoyak Fried Rice, Salted Fish Fried Rice and Achovies Fried Rice. I would recommend Tempoyak Fried Rice (fermented durian fried rice) as I am not a tempoyak eater but if I can swallow this, it means this is one good food. Worth trying. I love their signature drinks especially the 3 Layer Tea. For foreigners who wanna taste Dayak food, do come here, it’s located at China Street along the Main Bazaar. The only setback is it’s hard to find parking spots, so be patient and indulge yourself with some great Dayak food!

Pleasant place to be

Jul 2022 • none

The belacan noodles was yummy and so was the sambal that came with it. The owner (I think?) was kind enough to give me a small bowl of tempoyak on the house since I've not had it before. However, the kerabu mangga was a bit too sour for my liking. Overall, service was excellent and it's a wonderful place to eat at :)

Total dissapointment

Sept 2019 • solo

Came here alone and ask for their recommendation as I just wanted to have 1 dish. They were happy to recommend their signature Char Siew. Was served the char siew and I couldn't finish the whole dish as i had a tough time chewing it...sigh! Highlighted to them that their signature Char Siew is too tough to be chewed and all they did was apologize...that's all.

Breakfast brilliance!

Sept 2019 • family

My daughter sourced Pinggai Cafe on TripAdvisor and I must say it is a real nugget! I had Dragon's heart for breakfast and a iced cafe latte. We also had an iced caramel macciahato and kaya on toast. All was freshly made and delicious! The service was excellent, the gentleman behind the counter was really welcoming and polite to us. Returned a second time for the same again...too good to choose anything else!

Hidden gem

Hidden from a main sight but definitely worth a visit. Good price and nice place. Food was delicious and presentation of food was I think best we have seen in Malaysia.

A nice cafe serving local food

Aug 2019 • solo

Pinggai is a place to visit if you want to experience local Sarawak cuisine for a reasonable price. It's a lovely cafe with a nice interior and lovely personnel.

My beautiful cafe

Jul 2019 • family

Where do I start for this amazing cool ideas for a cafe? The floral plates they hung on the wall was so pleasing to the eyes. The food we had was delicious. They do know how to cook. The staff are very friendly too. The only frustration I had was the 3 layer tea. There was no taste of tea detected. On the other hand, can your cafe stop using plastics straws?

Lunch At Pinggai

Jun 2019 • none

A quaint eatery located in an old shophouse... has character, decent food and a very nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. Only letdown - you have to order at the counter...

Awesome find!

Jan 2019 • family

Have always wanted to give Pinggai Cafe a try but never got the chance to. This trip finally managed to go over and give it a try and boy, that was the best decision for today's lunch. As it was during lunch hour so the place is quite packed but we managed to get seatd by the window/main door. Love the cafe look, love the ambience and most of all, love the foods! We had tempoyak + dabai fried rice, tempoyak fried rice, Dayak bbq pork rice, stir-fry seasonal vege, dragonfruit juice and chrysanthemum tea while we were there. Everything was delish, even the parents approved 😊 Will definitely come back to Pinggai Cafe again whenever I am in Kuching.

Nice Cafe

Dec 2018 • solo

Very beautiful and nice cafe with friendly staff and good food. Had the Dayak Char Siew Rice which is a better version of tje chinese bbq pork rice. The dipping sauce is a killer and the mixture of fats in the meat is excellent. Good value for money. Good recommendation from TA.
