"If it’s your first visit, don’t just order one dish. Singkawang shines when you mix and match across the menu. The crispy pork, Indonesian-style rice plates, noodle soups, and spicy basil dishes each tell a different story. It feels less like restaurant food and more like recipes passed down through family and shared with the community."
