Sarawak Laksa in Kuching: King Laksa Sarawak at ICOM Square

[kuchinghub]

A first bowl of Sarawak laksa should tell you what Kuching tastes like: a fragrant, creamy-spiced broth, noodles, egg and seafood in one generous spoonful. For visitors staying around the city centre, King Laksa Sarawak at ICOM Square is a practical stop, with an all-day schedule and a menu that also makes room for kolo mee and simple rice dishes.

My first-order advice is the regular Sarawak laksa if you want to understand the base flavour; choose one of the seafood versions when prawns, squid or bamboo clams are the reason you came. The broth is presented as rich and mild enough for diners who are cautious with chilli, but the seafood upgrades will change the bill. A useful working budget is about RM10–RM15 for a straightforward bowl; prices and availability can change.

The venue’s own profile describes its food as halal, and the menu includes chicken-based options. I would go earlier or outside the busiest lunch period if I had a tight itinerary; published hours are 6:00am–11:00pm daily, while individual dishes can sell out or take longer during a rush. ICOM Square is easier for drivers than a small old-town coffee shop, but allow time to find a bay and walk from the commercial centre parking area.

From here, I would pair lunch with a short waterfront-and-old-town loop, or use ICOM Square as a convenient first meal after arriving in Kuching. If this is your first Sarawak laksa, would you start with the regular bowl or go straight for prawns?
