A trip to Kuching wouldn’t be complete if you haven’t had a taste of the traditional Sarawakian cuisine. Priding itself on an authentic Orang Ulu and Dayak cuisine, @lepaurestaurant is definitely one restaurant not to be missed for a true indigenous cuisine experience, in a rural Kayan hut setting.

A Lepau signature, the Pansuh chicken is a Dayak-style chicken cooked in bamboo stalk with some herbs that include ginger, garlic, lemongrass. While it sounds like a dish of strong flavours, the chicken was succulent amidst a light, aromatic gravy that was quite comforting. It is also a popular dish served during celebrations and festivals of the the Iban and Bidayuh tribes.
