Lau Ya Keng Pork Satay

🌶️🌶️🌶️ Berbaloi · Worth the Detour

🐖 Non-halalRM8–RM20

The charcoal pork satay stall inside the temple-front food court on Carpenter Street, a Kuching treat you won't find on the peninsula. It has been grilling for years, and the sweet, smoky sticks go well with a laksa from the next stall.

⚠️ Last confirmed before 2025 — check it is open before you go.
