Kuching: Rojak and Cold Drink Centre

Salam..

The front of the shop

Yes, another nice place to share. This time, Boon Khai Rojak and Cold Drink Centre. (BKRCD) I would say it has a typical kopi tiam setting. In a hot day, the words "cold drink" would srike an instance to lure potential thirsty and mildly dehydrated customers, or just to cure sweet tooth.

The cross marks the spot.

BKRCD is located along Palm road in Kuching. It is betwen Dora medical clinic and Chuang medical Clinic, right opposite the Sarawak Police Headquarters. The shop looks less than peculiar and seems like there is nothing interesting to it.

Order and pay immediately at the counter. Then wait for your order to be sent to your table.

The shop sells desserts and tea time type of delicacies, but mainly cold drinks and rojak as displayed on the name of the shop.

There were, ais kacang, cendol, kacang sago, materhon, mix fruit, passion fruit juice, tiga masam etc. Food wise, it was nothing heavy, but light and easy on the stomach, snack like and fingger food like. Examples include "ju hu eng chai" aka sotong kangkung aka water convulvolus + cuttle fish, "hey pia" aka cucur campur or assorted fritters (prawn, cassava etc), nuggets, roles etc.

Here was what went in..


Left: Ais Kacang. Right: "Ju hu eng chai" aka Sotong Kangkung aka water convulvolus + cuttlefish. RM7.50.

Not too full, but just nice.

The business hours. Now opens daily. It used to close on Wednesdays.

Cleanliness: acceptable, no cats or dogs running around, no flies, tap water and soap dispenser available. Since it was properly set up in a building with reliable clean water supply from Kuching Water Board, it should be fine.

Price: affordable.

Till then, happy trying.
