Sarawak houses the oldest and the most biologically diverse rainforest on earth. The food of Sarawak is therefore heavily influenced by indigenous groups that lived on the fringes of these forests.
On your Sarawak Malaysia tour, you will get to taste different kinds of dishes made of forest ferns, an inherent part of Sarawak's food culture.
Midin and fiddlehead fern (Pucuk Paku) are the two most popular ferns that are found in all Sarawak food centers. Midin has curly foliages and is quite crunchy even after cooking. The rural populace of the state has always loved feasting on nutritious and tasty ferns, making them the principal food in Sarawak.
Sarawak Laksa is another hot favorite food of Sarawak. It is Chinese-style vermicelli served with prawns, beansprouts and chicken or egg shreds. Sarawak Laksa is served in a bowl of coconut soup cooked with tamarind.
Although Laksa is a popular Malaysian food item, its taste in Sarawak is simply matchless in comparison to other states. Most of the hotels of Sarawak serve Laksa, as do the local hawkers and street restaurants.
Other foods of Sarawak that are not to be missed are Kolo Mee, Kway Teow and Mee Sua.
