Another food trend here in Kuching is roti teluq bakaq
meleleh, which originates from Peninsular Malaysia. It’s basically grilled or
toasted bread, smothered in seasonings and topped with plenty of mayo, ketchup,
chilli sauce and sometimes cheese. Its name translates to melting egg toast, so
u would expect to see lots of sauces all over it with a piece of egg on top.
Today we adventure to a café that offers this roti teluq bakaq meleleh, along
with other food in their menu.
The Eating Garage Kuching is located right in the city area
and offers local Kuching food opening from day till night. The hold café is
decorated with hipster stickers and paintings on the wall. Food such as laksa,
kolo mee, mi goreng, stir fried dishes and not to forget the famous roti teluq
bakaq meleleh are sold here.
Here is what they offered on their menu.
We ordered the basic roti teluq which was just the plain
grilled bread with egg and a bunch of seasonings and sauces on top. It came as
a piece of grilled bread with a fried egg, topped with baked beans and
seasoning sauce, finished with mayo and thousand island dressing. The overall
taste and flavours came from the dressings and seasonings on top, the bread and
egg itself was just simple and plain, but overall it was a good combination and
worked well.
We also tried the kueh tiaw goreng kerang which was the
fried kueh tiaw with clams. It was spicy and sweet which was the total opposite
of the usual stir fried kueh tiaw u normally find outside in hawker stalls,
with the usual salty savoury taste. Its sweet flavour came from sweet soy sauce
and it had a bit of rojak paste flavour to it. Apart from the spiciness it had,
it was further served with cut chillies on top. This one is definitely for the
spicy lovers.
One of the stir fried dishes we tried was the butter
chicken. They were very generous with the gravy and nestum flakes on top. The
gravy was thick, savoury and had a slight sweetness to it. It was very fragrant
with a milky taste to it along with the butter. The curry leaves were fried
well so its essence was released well too.
The Eating Garage Kuching is a good place to try if you’re
looking for a variety of local Kuching food under one roof and also the famous
roti teluq bakaq meleleh at the same time.
The Eating Garage opens daily from 8am to 1am.
