Calling all curry lovers in Kuching! Your dreams had just been answered.
The Curry with a ‘KICK’ is in town and had just opened for business yesterday at the corner shophouse (Yam Seak Cafe) of Jalan Padungan and Jalan Song Thian Cheok. The stall operated by affable Jason Chew aka Roti is at the back of the shop. You can’t miss the big banner on the side wall of the shop house; and you shouldn’t miss the opening special for a limited time only which is one free order for every 3 orders! Besides serving the best curry in town, Jason also has Assam Fish as well for added kick! Jason also do special catering for private functions or parties.
Whether you like curry or assam or not; looking at the banners that Jason designed is sure to bring a smile to your face! Got real kick one!
Now go get your “kick”!

buy 3 get 1 free! i like!
where is this place relative to Chung Hin (number 59 (I think)) Padungan? Up-river direction, or down-river…
that should be Chung Hin Hotel…. eating and typing
flaneur - not sure where’s Chung Hin Hotel; but the place is more towards Tun Jugah Shopping Center but on the opposite side of the road. an old shophouse after Everise Supermarket.
advetising aside…… how’s the curry? got kick or not? don’t understand chinese… how to down 3 bowls of curry and expect to get one free? the place is next to hock ha, famous for the local siao-bee, or behind the famous too-car rice, opposite the red building called red chamber, ‘t’ junction of jalan padungan and jln song kheng hai…phew!!!
kong-kay - thanks for the additional info on how to find the place. Flaneur would appreciate that.
the Curry is GREAT! ‘Got Kick’ or not - well the only way to find out is to go eat there! Ask 3 more friends to come along and 4 of you eat for the price of 3 only!
I’ll find it… sounds like I’m eating a far broader variety of food in Kuching this time than last, though I certainly wouldn’t say my eating experiences were limited then either…
just the horror on the server’s face in a place in Sibu when I looked to the other side of the restaurant, and asked for pork… I’ll leave her reaction to your imagination. And I have a beard, look like a member of the Saud family, minus the money.
flaneur - we could do better than that; lets go there together! I need to take lunch too.
u just need the robe and u’ll pass for a taliban!
Taliban eh? I don’t think I have the vaguest chance of ever being mistaken for a member of that enlightened group of exemplary individuals; much to their chagrin I pass as Jewish in New York, while in Sarawak (and Singapore) many thought I was Muslim. In both cases an affront to either faith I’m afraid.
But I would truly appreciate the opportunity to discuss life, architecture, kayaking over good food, with good company while in Kuching.
aaah, now you’re talking - hot and spicy, just the way i like it
and so near my office summore!
so far .. aiyak.. r dey gonna open 1 in kl?
New Kick on the Block!!!
I have tried, have u?
yum… yummy… would love to try it! Someday… yeah… maybe someday… I will *crossing fingers*
flaneur - yeah lets do lunch there n all the other good stuffs of life! ahhhh!
laksa - maybe we can have a ‘hot’ date there someday! hahaha
alicia - hmmm who knows?
any plans to expand overseas roti?
today Kuching, tomolo the WORLD!!
robin - we’ll go again to get our ‘kick’!
Selba - one more ‘must-do’ when you’re in Kuching!
shouldn’t the word “Kick” be printed on the back of the shirt? heehee
panda - yes … only if the curry or assam is no good!
but in Jason’s case it’s two thumbs up!
Ooh…spicy enough to make my eyes and nose tingle just looking at the picture…
I love curry!
Roti’s curry really got the kick, especially after kayaking in cold water down the river..
Thanks again …
Ah well, my opinion of curry was best expressed in a Sherlock Holmes movie starring Basil Rathbone. Watson said, “we were just discussing curry” and Holmes said, “oh, yes, terrible stuff.”
Coincidently, we just had a curry vegetable stew for dinner. Couldn’t taste a thing. Sigh.
ooohhh…. so what’s the verdict? Are they really good? (would love to give it a try when back in town)
poison - contact me when you’re back in Kuching and we can go kayaking n currying! heehee
panda - i guessed durians are out of the question as well??
Never tried a durian. Would like to, just to see. Never know unless we try.
No offense meant about curry. Just not my thing.
Best wishes for Roti’s new business. I’m sure he’ll bring his curry loving customers meals that can’t be beat.
after u eat the curry, u got “kick” anyone or not ? kekeke…
kick someone to show the curry really got “kick” mah..
panda - there are many types of curry. actually d ones in japan are very very mild by comparison! Insipid as they say!
Durians are definitely not for the uninitiated!
chen - i would never have imagined that d doc can be this naughty or violent!
I am getting hungry already !! Cant find good curry here in perth
HI all….wow wow and wow…hope my curry had “wow” those who have tasted it!! unker’s blog must be the most connected blog around..!!!! my 2nd day kari and today’s asam sold out!!!…”clear until dry dry” ha ha ha…thank you all of u for the support and encouragement!!!
roti - your curry is one of the best I’d tasted and believe me I’d tasted a lot!
The thing now is to maintain a consistently high standard of the best tasting curry in town with a KICK!
Keep this up for the sake of curry lovers in Kuching! We’re counting on you kiddo!
Hmm…how much does it cost to travel from Japan to Kuching? Is the curry worth the price?
Roti’s lucky to have Unker’s plug - the best advertising available (except for Happy’s or Panda’s, maybe)
Panda - If you don’t like spicy curry, try a mild masala curry. It may change your mind.
fh2o…sure thing unker! feel free to be my reminder and critic of my kari n asam quality, quantity, service, display,…etc u name it..you have been extremely generous in helping me…
the moody minstrel…oh yes it’s really worth it…pls bare in mind that your trip will allow you to enjoy the secnic adventures of fh2o kayaking trip that dun come handy in other cities…and together,…we might throw some Kayaking and Kari packages together..right fh20? (coz both start with K mah….:P) There’s also a very well furnish lodge that u might want to experience…its call..singgah sana..5-7mins “water front breeze stroll” to my youKICK food stall…or better still,..we have hilton holiday inn and etc that’r only a few kayaking paddle away from my stall.
roti - miracle8, wilson n kawaras all confirmed getting their ‘kick’ during lunch time!
good to hear that,…fh20, u r now officially my most consistent customer….3meals and a visit in 4days time!!!!!(that’s everyday!!!)…..i better go and make u a medal…”Most Supportive” awards
roti - enough liaow!
Will be on a ‘curry-fast’ next week! Otherwise no more ‘KICK’!

anybody wanna match fh2o record of 3 kari meals in 4 days?….can make it an official competition..ha ha ha
Hi there!
I’d like to congratulate Jason @ roti for his vision and entrepreneurship in turning what we have taken for granted (Mum’s curry) into a great business model. Good job, Chuan.
And to Unker, although we haven’t met, I’ve heard so much about you and read your blog since roti introduced it to me… and many thanks for you support and encouragement to You Kick!
In case you’re still wondering who am I??? Well, I’m roti’s elder brother living and working in Singapore and I love painting watercolours.

Cheers….
watercolourdude - *Ahem* .. the name is FH2o but affectionately (i hope) called by the “still teething” (or wet behind the ears) as “Unker”. Kuching Kids very the respectful one!
Anyway, I’m more than happy to be plugging for roti as any young entrepreneur with vision n courage commands my respect. Plus roti is such a positive, sincere and cheerful dude! How not to like him?
I LOVE watercolours and would be checking on your site!
Marvin! I had checked your website. You are very talented! wow!
Hey thanks! the artistic gene runs in the family… roti used to love painting too but I guess his culinary skill is much sought after now…
fh2o..I’d love to join your kayaking trip one day when I go back to Kuching. I’m sure it will be very fun. Combining the two elements of H20 (kayaking and watercolouring) should be quite inspiring to me as an artist!!
fh2o, meet my brother..marvin chew. Will certainly let u know when he’s back so the two talented guys can bring kayaking n watercolour to new ground…”ahem…water..not ground”,..:)
roti - i look forward to meeting marvin as i there’s so much i wanted to find out about watercolour painting!
