Discover the Traditional Bread from Kuching, Malaysia
About the city of Kuching
Kuching stands where Malaysia’s many cultures meet the biodiversity of Borneo. Since its foundation in the 1820s it has been a center of trade and exchange for East Malaysia, and today it is a modern city of about 620,000 inhabitants. Its food draws on the great diversity of the Sarawak region and on the close relationship between indigenous communities and their environment, enriched over time by immigration. Food is central to events such as the Rainforest World Music Festival, the Kuching Jazz Festival and the Sarawak Regatta. A UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy since 2021, Kuching supports smallholders and cottage industries that collect heritage food products and passes this knowledge from one generation to the next.
