Whenever I talk about my favourite food with friends, I definitely talk about seafood and the number one dish in my list is none other than the delicious juicy crabs. The problem is, finding a good and cheap seafood restaurant in Kuching is not easy. Even if you find one, the restaurant is usually far from your doorstep and it doesn't help you cut cost. Ahaks! But again, as long as the food is worth eating, I don't mind the fuel consumption is slightly higher for that particular day.

Looking at my seafood hunting record, I have shortlisted two best seafood restaurant in Kuching; first is the Teo Seafood, second, is the Beach Seafood Restaurant. Both restaurants are located in Santubong. But, my hunt is not over yet because Kuching is a big city and probably other good seafood restaurants are still outside my radar.

While eating at Teo Seafood Restaurant a few weeks ago, I managed to capture a few pictures of the dishes we ordered. For each picture, I will tell you whether it was an excellent dish or a poor dish. Let's begin.

[My favourite dish was the curry crabs. The taste was excellent. I was happy that they served us with large crabs]

[The clams were superb! We ordered this dish twice at a time. The clams were fleshy and sand free]

[The fried fish was excellent. Only bones we left when we were done with it]

[This mouth-watering Kangkong Belacan is not a seafood, but it's a dish that stimulated our appetite that night]

[Last, the sea cucumber soup. The best soup I ever tasted]

So, if you are looking for Teo Seafood, go to this address;  No. 787, Jalan Kampung Buntal 93010 Kuching, Sarawak or call them at Tel: 082-846532. The food there is certified HALAL.

In Kuching we are still fortunate to be able to enjoy very good seafood at relatively reasonable prices. Though the variety can't compare to Kota Kinabalu, the quality and freshness of what we do get is usually pretty peachy.

You can find seafood restaurants almost anywhere in Kuching, but if you are looking for Halal outlets then there are really only 2 options - Top Spot Food Court right in town centre - or Rock Road Seafood. Rock Road Seafood has been around for a very long time, and they haven't changed much except the decor has been incrementally upgraded over the years. This is one of the most popular restaurants with our local political class, especially during the State Legislative Assembly Seatings. 

The ground floor of the restaurant is like a mini wet market. Here you can select the seafood and other items that you want, and let them know how you want the items to be cooked. You can also get them to weigh the items so you know exactly how much you will be paying - instead of getting a sticker shock later.


 We ordered the usual - starting with stir-fried midin with garlic. It was very good.


The Sweet Corn Soup was one of the best we've had - very tasty and with chunks of fresh crab meat.

 The Oyster Omelette was pretty standard - and with lots of oysters.


Buttered Prawns with Egg Floss - nicely done, with the prawns still tender and sweet.


The main reason we went there - Crabs in "Satay Sauce". This is one of their signature dishes, and it never disappoints. I don't know why the sauce is called  "Satay Sauce" because it doesn't taste anything like its namesake, but is sure is tasty. We picked two of the largest crabs they had - and they were both excellent - with lots of fresh, sweet meat inside the gigantic claws.





The food at Rock Road Seafood has steadily improved over the years. Today I would say they are one of the best seafood places in town, but you will be paying a bit  more then most other establishments. However since you get to actually pick the seafood yourself, you are getting what you pay for.
