KATU Dayak Food Kuching: What to Try at Premier Food Republic RH Plaza

kuchinghub

If you want to try Dayak and Sarawak ethnic flavours in Kuching without planning a long trip out of town, KATU Dayak Food at Premier Food Republic RH Plaza is a practical place to start. The menu is built around familiar rice meals, pork dishes and a few distinctly local preparations.

For a first order, I would start with Nasi Babi Apai Saloi at about RM14.80 or Nasi Babi Tunok at about RM11.80. The former comes with grilled pork, peanuts, fried anchovies, half-boiled egg, sambal and rice, while the latter is a simpler rice-and-pork option. Prices and portion details can change, so treat those figures as a guide rather than a fixed bill.

The menu also lists BBQ Pork Babi Tunok, Pekasam Babi, Babi Kicap, Perut Babi, Nenas Perut, Daun Ubi, Rebung Sambal, Pansuh Babi and Pansuh Ayam. That makes KATU more useful for a small group than a one-dish stop: one person can choose a rice set while the table shares a vegetable or a more distinctive Dayak preparation.

Because the current menu includes several pork dishes, I would treat this as a non-halal recommendation. Diners with strict dietary requirements should ask the stall about ingredients and preparation before ordering. The menu is also a better guide to what is available than a generic description of “Dayak food”, since the actual choices can vary between branches and dates.

The venue is at KATU Dayak Food Stall, Premier Food Republic, ground floor, 123 Jalan Lapangan Terbang, Green Heights, Kuching. It is a food-court setting, so visitors should look for the KATU stall after entering the building rather than expecting a standalone restaurant frontage.
