Best Butter Prawns in Kuching

Most people will say the best Butter Prawns in Kuching can be found at the Sarawak Club Chinese Restaurant. That's a private, members-only club, so I'll recommend the one at Li Garden, inside the Hock Lee Centre Building (location map here).

There are many styles of cooking Butter Prawns, but this is my favourite style because the creamy sauce is so fragrant and the prawns are ready peeled so you can eat them whole. Goes well with rice because the cream is rich and sweet. There are many prawn dishes at Li Garden (such as Butter Milk Prawn and Baked Prawn with Corn) so it might be confusing to pick the one recommended here. This is Baked Prawn with Butter Sauce. It comes with diced chilli sprinkled on the prawns, but not shown in the one pictured below because I requested it be cooked without the sprinkled chilli.

Another gem I accidentally found at this restaurant is the Wrapped Ham with Mayonnaise Sauce. I came across it when eating the 4-dish appetiser during a function at this restaurant. It's not on the menu, so you will have to request it from the waitress captain.

Just as tasty as the Butter Prawns, and just as fattening, but sinfully good. This air-conditioned restaurant is a good place to have lunch and dinner
