Song Kheng Hai Hawker Centre

Chanced upon this old hawker centre while walking around in Kuching town.
Most of the stalls are already closed on this rainy weekday 4pm.

Tried the fried Lok Lok at Nyona Delights, one of the few stalls that are open.
Very friendly stall owner.

Satisfaction snacks with a cup of hot coffee from the next stall.

Looking for KongPia in Kuching and this is the right place! At stall 7 RihGa, The boss and lady boss are very nice and polite. They serve very good fusion KongPia. I ordered Pork, Ham, Cheese and Garlic flavor KongPia. So delicious! They also sell SioBee (SiuMai) which is also yummy.

At stall 4 where you can find balacan meehoon. It’s mediocre, not the best. The lady at the stall was emotionless while taking order.

A local favourite hang out place for local delights, I’ve been here twice in less than a week I was in Kuching for work. I’ve had so much food I never knew about! It’s truly a gastronomical adventure in Sarawak.

My love for cuttlefish with kangkung and mee hoon came to live here with > “Belacan Mee”. Chilli on the side, it’s not spicy at all. On the contrary, it’s savoury and sweet. Served with century egg, it’s suck a delight!

Then there’s the sugar can juice with fresh coconut water.Perfect match! So good I finished it all within minutes.

Of course, there’s also ice kacang, and many other yummy stuff like the doughnut that’s like a puff with sticky minced pork in it. Chewy and crunchy; great combo.

I do like this place. Highly recommended to all travelers, local or not, to have a few meals here and try out what the Sarawakians like, especially those residing in Kuching.

Bamboo water is an enjoyment its size big and taste really nice
Moneychai fried beehun taste extremely great
Definitely worth a try

The best place to have high tea or brunch with friends or family or even friends from overseas! Popular place for many kind of dishes, such as Belacan Mee Hoon, Kong Piah, Sotong Kangkong, Fried Wok, ABC, Fresh Sugarcane with Coconut Drinks, and many more.

Love the sugarcane plus coconut drink. The kolo mee here is suit my taste and cheap. The price varies from stall to stall. There are also other foods like popiah, belacan mihun, kueh chap and a lot more

Had the best gongpia that I ever had! Ngoh Hiang tastes good too! Rojak! Not to mention the special sugarcane coconut drink! Reasonable price.

The most refreshing sugarcane coconut juice at stall no. 24. Sugarcane was young and clean, coconut was fresh and flesh is tender. Service was fast. Truly the best cold drink on a hot day.

Super friendly place with lots of different foods and not too busy at midday on Sunday. There are two sides, inner and outer shops and seating on both sides.

Here is a summary of each of the 26 food stalls for you.

Since I find these reviews confusing due to it being a food court with many people selling same dishes I will share everything I know though I couldnt eat much as a solo person.

Stall 1: the recommended coconut sugarcane juice mix everyone recommends. Really nice, refreshing and not too sweet with young coconut slices in it and ice (a little more ice would be great though) for 2 RM for small which was a decent size.

Stall 2: seng Lee, drinks and shaved ice. I tried the shaved ice, service very unfriendly and ignored me for an awkward amount of time but dessert was delicious and perfect amount of sweetness.

Stall 3: called nonya delight, appears to sell pork roll, kangkung, fried noodles and soups but was closed.

Stall 4: belachan bee hoon. Cuttle fish and kangkong. The name was very useful, that's what it sells including sotong version, between 5-7rm

Stall 5: called Xian zhi Wei - sells all the types of noodles: kolo mee, fried mee, tomato mee, and many more, and chicken rice. I tried tomato mee for 4.50rm which was a thick, sweet tomato sauce soup base with deep fried crinkly mee noodles topped with some sliced cha siew pork, chicken bits and processed ham thing. It was nice but didn't like the meat on top, though there was a generous amount, because it was dry.

Stall 6: lim kee, sold Chua Kueh in varying sizes from 4-8rm

Stall 7: called rihga - famous for its Gong pia (mini baked bagel like bread with sesame seeds on top and filling), there were several options but the traditional pork looked best and seemed most popular. This was filled with a sweet pork gravy and was hot and fresh - very good! 1.10rm for 1. They also sell rojak in varying sizes, mostly good sharing size.

Stall 8: Fong ah poh rojak - closed.

Stall 9: Heng Lee - appears to be shaved ice desserts sold by an elderly lady but was not popular while I was there. Also sells drinks and she offered me coconut juice, not sure if fresh.

Stall 10: name in Chinese says "something 1" sorry my Chinese is terrible :( sells vegetable soup rice, tomato mee or Kueh tiaw, kolo mee or kt, fried Kueh tiaw and fried rice. Didn't try but prices are mostly 5 RM aside from tomato mee for 3.50 RM - I tried to ask a stallholder which tomato mee they preferred but they probably widely wouldn't tell me just said 10 and 5 sold the same.

Stall 11: no English name, Gong pia #2 sold the bigger fluffier donut like version with no filling but sweet and savoury kind of glaze. Really yummy! 1.20 RM for 1. They also appear to sell curry puffs and deep fried bao but didn't seem to have these.

Stall 12: no English name but seems to sell sio bi (like shao mai but without yellow wrapper it seems), was closed.

Stall 13: law san: seems very popular for rice with choose your own topping from behind the glass.

Stall 14: no name in any language - they're bold! Glass front was stacked with deep fried goodies and seemed quite popular.

Stall 15: midah special: sold nasi campur (mixed rice) and also advertised fried oyster pancake which look big and crispy, as nasi goreng ayam (fried chicken with rice) .

Stall 16: golden memories - closed and no clue of food.

Stall 17: golden triangle drink corner- traditional drinks and desserts.

Stall 18: no English name no sign of what is sold.

Stall 19: city cat chicken rice - sells just chicken rice for 3.50 or 4 RM

Stall 20: wok fried noodle dishes either 3.80 or 6 RM

Stall 21: jakson, closed.

Stall 22: ak kok, closed. Seems to sell chicken wings.

Stall 23: Sri mathi Indian, dishes between 4-8 and naan between 1-3rm

Stall 24: Ching chang drink stall, no prices, have coconuts and sugar cane.

Stall 25: ah Lau, closed no sign of what they sell.

Stall 26: jia jia, sell peanut ribs soup, curry chicken, kacama chicken, bitter gourd soup and pork leg. 5-6 RM also claypot and loklok (fried and skewered things)

This particular stall in the foodcourt serves a delicious local famous dish, belacan beehoon. Comes either plain or with sotong & century egg for just a mere rm7. Stall operated usually by a lady who's unable to speak. So just point ur order at the big menu shown on the wall behind the counter. The drinks stall behind also serves sugarcane juice with coconut flesh inside. A unique combo for u to have the best of both worlds. Swing by!

A well known kopitiam. First time trying belacan bee hoon, this costs RM9 with the century egg. I don't think everyone can stand the strong belacan flavor. The char kuey is nice also, RM5 for small. Tried the Coconut Sugarcane juice, but I think it's quite normal. Rojak is really mid, can skip if you are not craving for one. Overall a nice place to have afternoon tea time with friends and family.

Went there for sugarcane + coconut drink and to eat Kompia. Nice. Everyone should try this.

During weekend, I like going Song Kheng Hai hawker centre to order fried Kueh Tiaw and fried mee at Ah Eng hawker. Very delicious.

Good lunch ! Good price ! Childhood place !
Tomato noodle and belacan beehoon , must try !

Best belacan bee hoon in town. Must try

Must try is the cat city chicken rice that comes with amazing soup. The Cha Kueh or fried carrot cake is amazing, go for the sticky rice cake. One.more shop which I'm not fond to the food but welcome by lots of kuching food lovers is belacan bee Hoon.

Childhood eats. Can't find them around these days. Best to have them while they are still available

The Kolo meet at stall #5 is very good, as is the sugarcane coconut water from stall #1

Favourite place for kompia & sugarcane coconut drinks 🥺🥺🥺 10/10 for the environment as well!!

Stall no 7 (Rihga) sells really good Kompia! (Chinese-style bagel). The kompia is nice and crisp on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. You can choose different pork fillings to go with your kompia.
