Pinggai Cafe

Undoubtedly the best cafe to serve Dayak Char Siew in town. Serving you a handful amount of unique Dayak menu around. Filled with the delicious taste of the local ingridients in every dish served. You wouldn't forget any single bite you have here as I am a repeating customer to this cafe. The drinks also come with a huge range of drink coming from the signature Dayak drinks, Dayak alcohol, canned drinks, and their signature coffee series. For sure, any single drinks would slough off those thirst of your throat, especially the Honey Longan. The atmosphere is really suitable for those love birds who are looking for a special time together or who planned to bring their family during holiday and have quick lunch. As for improvements, I wished they would provide a larger toilet as the current toilet is quite small considering I am onfly 5ft 7". Would be great also if they extend their service hours as they will be closed by 3pm.

This place is known among tourists. The food here tastes authentic and delicious. A great place in town to try authentic Sarawakian food. The char siew is smoky and delicious. The tempoyak (cooked fermented durian) is more to the sweet side as it is fresh and not too fermented. The midin belacan is a must try as it is spicy and flavourful. The babi (pork) pansuh is very hearty and delicious as well. Although the drinks option are limited, you can ask for plain iced water. The washroom is very tiny, not recommended for those who have claustrophobia.

As a dayak, one of the best approved place to get dayak food. Had a mouthgasm eating these. Bit on the sweeter side, need chilli just to balance the sweetness.. overall, amazing experience. The fried rice is amazing as well with just the right amount of wok hei to give its smokiness flavor.

Lovely cafe serving native Dayak cuisine. We had a platter which allowed us to sample many dishes including char siew and papaya flowers which, despite being extremely bitter, went down very well with the local Bario rice. We also had Dayak classics like the wild jungle fern, and Tempoyak (fried fermented durian) with pork.

This is food of my DNA. Kuching has surpassed all other Borneo cities and towns in offering authentic native cuisine in exceptionally curated details. The food here is beyond excellent. Look the menu up online. I do it no justice by talking about it. You need to come to Kuching to experience this delightful little cafe. However their toilet sucks. It's made for dwarfs. And in the afternoon as you walk in there is a smell of poop. They need to work on extractors. They lose points on these things alone. The chef however is amazing.
