Zest Cafe offers food fans with a wide variety of Asian fused wonderful dishes that is sure to whet your appetite. Calling it the new Dining Experience, food lovers will be given a menu that is filled with Thai, Japanese, Indian, Chinese, Singaporean and a little mix of western and European savoury dishes such as burgers, pastas and fries.

Located at Jalan Petanak, Kuching, the cafe is a hugely popular choice for those who wish to seek a different variety of delicious food at reasonable prices. Zest also has a fairly wide variety of wine from all over the world for wine lovers and as well as a large choice of coffee, with the cafe’s specialty such as the Obama Coffee which is mocha coffee and Kawai-I, which is Nescafe coffee mixed with chocolate.

Red is the theme at Zest, with modern decor settings yet informal. The cafe is set with dark wood furniture, wood floor, glass panel at one corner and lightly dim ambience; it is certainly cozy and alluring. The ambience of the place is filled with latin music, not too loud but just nice to set the mood. The cafe is not equipped with air-conditioning but with ceiling fan instead, but the area is quite airy so it would not be a problem for customers to enjoy their food here.

One of their popular dish here is Ebiko Fried Rice with prawns, a Japanese dish; deep-fried rice with prawn roe. A single glance at it is sure to rock your appetite with the orange-coloured prawn roe on top of the hot deep-fried rice. The delicate taste of the prawn roe is simply delicious, and the fried rice is quite fine. Exotic as it may sound, the dish will only cost you RM7.90 and you would not get any better deal than this or elsewhere in Kuching.

Other dishes served here are:

Chicken Soup with carrots, potatoes and green apples.

Mixed Vegetable Dish

Tomato Noodle

Japanese Fried Udon

Softshell Crab Burger

Prawn & Bacon salad

Zest strives to serve you with the best of what they have to offer. There is also a wide variety of dessert such as ice creams and cakes, refreshing beverages and soft drinks.

They are open from Monday to Saturday, from 11.00am until 11. 00pm. Other services available here are take outs for those on the go, home delivery, and catering.
