Situated next to the morning market square, this neighbourhood stalwart draws an early crowd for its excellent variety. Catch a break on breezy mornings here with a cup of their hot Kopi (RM2.30) to jolt your senses. For breakfast, there is Kolo Mee (from RM6) that sees a tweak on the traditional Sarawakian recipe with extra garlic, pepper and charcoal-cooked char siew. Come afternoons, the queue forms for Hong Seng's Chicken Rice (RM6.50) that has developed a cult following over the years. What makes it special is the lashing of char siew sauce, a caramel-like gravy that heightens the flavours of regular roast chicken. The family rotisserie also churns out crackling Siew Yuk (roast pork, from RM7) and tender, caramelised Char Siew (from RM7), proven delicious by the sheer amount of patrons ordering them.
Avg price per person: RM10

On late mornings, Hong Seng’s got a serene kopitiam setting and a snaking queue for chicken rice. While widely popular for their smooth roasted chicken, the systematic roast meats stall also dishes out a wonderful serving of siew yuk —crispy skin, flavoursome meat and all.
The char siew’s good too, from what I hear. Can’t get enough of that garlic chilli sauce. Also get the Kopi (RM2.30), steaming hot and strong.
