A late walk around Kuching’s Waterfront does not have to end with another café dessert. I would save a little appetite for Teresa Laksa on Jalan Bukit Mata: a small stall tucked behind the Tune Hotel area, where Sarawak laksa belongs to supper rather than the breakfast timetable. [image: 1792129515801-teresa-laksa-1-resized.jpg] Google Map / Teresa Laksa That evening identity is the reason to come here. Teresa was already described as a two-decade laksa business in 2019, with bowls served well into the night. This is an established part of the city’s supper circuit, not a new shop borrowing a heritage label. For visitors who have spent the morning outside town, it offers a different way to fit a Kuching laksa meal into the day without forcing another early start. The setting matters almost as much as the bowl. Teresa is inside a modest shared eating space, not a restaurant with a broad street frontage. The approach behind the hotel and the small alley have repeatedly been part of diners’ experience of finding it. I would follow the precise map pin, then look for the Teresa Laksa sign at the counter; stopping at the first nearby noodle stall would miss the point. Use an open public entrance rather than assume a hotel passage is available. [image: 1792129515094-teresa-laksa-0-resized.jpg] Google Map / Teresa Laksa I would start with one bowl of Sarawak laksa. The prawn-topped bowl brings noodles and soup together, with sambal and lime alongside so the final balance remains yours to adjust. Try the broth before squeezing in the whole lime or adding all the sambal. If you have already had a large dinner, ask about the available portion rather than ordering a second full meal simply because it is supper time. Teresa’s counter also has a chicken kolo mee alternative. That makes it a useful stop for two people who do not want the same thing: one can choose a soup bowl while the other takes the dry-noodle direction. Check what is actually being served before settling in, especially late in the evening. Old photographs and old prices do not guarantee tonight’s toppings, portion sizes or bill. This is a straightforward hawker meal, not the place I would choose for a long, air-conditioned dinner. Come for the laksa-and-supper combination, keep the order manageable and leave time to locate the stall on foot. Public opening-hour listings differ, so treat it as an evening stop and confirm the current session before a special journey; do not plan around an assumed 4am closing time. Teresa Laksa Jalan Bukit Mata, behind the Tune Hotel area, 93100 Kuching, Sarawak. Open Teresa Laksa in Google Maps For a city-centre evening, I would keep Teresa as one deliberate food stop after the riverside walk, rather than collect several bowls from different stalls. Its place in Kuching’s food story is simple and specific: an old laksa name that lets the day’s last meal carry a dish usually associated with the morning.
