6 unique, must-try Sarawak delicacies, from kek lapis to mee kolok


There is a wide selection of kek lapis to choose from, such as Lumut Cheese and Cadbury.

A sweet fragrance enveloped the air as we arrived at Kek Lapis Warisan at Jalan Tun Ahmad Zaidi Adruce in Kuching, Sarawak. The pleasing aroma of butter wafted from the kitchen, leaving us curious over what to expect.

Kek lapis, Sarawak’s multi-layered traditional cake, dates back five decades. In fact, according to 45-year-old Kek Lapis Warisan co-founder Mohammad Sufean Fauzi, more than 70% of the state’s population possess the skill to make this dessert.
