If there's one place my Kuching friends keep telling visitors to go, it's Siniawan Night Market. And honestly? Now I get why. This old town comes alive every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evening. The whole street is lined with traditional wooden shophouses and red Chinese lanterns — giving it this incredible rustic, old-west vibe. That's why locals call it Kuching's very own "Cowboy Town." [image: 1781575523887-1-tripadvisor.jpg] Source: TripAdvisor The star of the show? Lemang Periuk Kera (Pitcher Plant Rice). This is THE signature dish of Siniawan — sticky rice cooked inside a pitcher plant. It has a subtle earthy fragrance and a texture you won't find anywhere else. Must try. Other recommended eats: Lui Teh (traditional Hakka tea rice) and Ngo Hiang (five-spice rolls) — both local favorites.

Another wrote: "Best pitcher plant rice I've ever had. Period." TripAdvisor reviews rave about the atmosphere — "Feels like stepping back in time. The food variety is amazing and very affordable." I arrived while it was still daylight, and watching the lanterns slowly light up as dusk settled was honestly magical. People sitting on tiny stools along the street, eating, laughing, kids running around — it's that relaxed Sarawak vibe you can't get anywhere else.

老实说，我第一次去新尧湾夜市，纯粹是因为朋友死命推荐。结果去了之后…嗯，我明白为什么了 这个地方每到周末五、六、日晚上就会活过来。整条老街挂满红灯笼，木屋老店配上人来人往，氛围感直接拉满。有人叫它「古晋牛仔镇」，因为真的太有西部老镇的味道了。 [image: 1781575523887-1-tripadvisor.jpg] 来源：TripAdvisor 说到吃的，第一个要提的就是 猪笼草饭（Lemang Periuk Kera）！这个真的是 Siniawan 的标志性食物，其他地方很少见到。糯米塞进猪笼草里烤，吃起来带一点淡淡的草木香，口感很特别。还有 Lui Teh（擂茶） 和 Ngo Hiang（五香） 也是 locals 必推。 [image: 1781575524135-2-amazingborneo-1.jpg] 来源：Amazing Borneo Google Maps 上有人留言说：「每次从古晋市区开车过来都值得，食物选择超多，气氛一流。」另一个 review 说：「这里的猪笼草饭是我吃过最好吃的，没有之一。」 TripAdvisor 上也有人写道：「The atmosphere is incredible — feels like stepping back in time. The food variety is amazing and very affordable.」 我是周末傍晚到的时候天还亮着，等到灯笼亮起来的那一刻，整条街的氛围完全不一样。大家坐在路边小板凳上吃吃喝喝，小孩子跑来跑去，那种 relaxed 的感觉真的很 Sarawak。 [image: 1781575524381-3-amazingborneo-2.jpg] 来源：Amazing Borneo [image: 1781575524587-4-borneotravel-1.jpg] 来源：Borneo Travel Network 实用资讯： 位置：古晋新尧湾旧街（Old Siniawan Town） 时间：每逢星期五、六、日，傍晚开始到深夜 交通：建议 Grab，从市区大约 RM30 左右 ️ 停车：自驾的话车位有限，建议早点到 消费：大部分食物 RM5-15，丰俭由人 [image: 1781575524779-5-borneotravel-2.jpg] 来源：Borneo Travel Network 如果你还没去过新尧湾夜市，真的找一天周末去走走。适合一群朋友去扫街，也适合情侣去走走拍拍。 你去过新尧湾夜市吗？最喜欢吃什么？留言分享一下
