Bumbu Cabe: Indo Sudanese cuisine in Kuching

"Bumbu" stands for seasoning while "Cabe" means chilli. Bumbu Cabe Restaurant has opened a few branches in Kuching since a couple of years ago. But this Ramadhan season, it caught our attention again because it offers a Buka Puasa Buffet for only RM33.90 per pax.

The branch that I visited was the Uptown branch which is very unique as it is a house made into a restaurant. Imagine dining in one of the bedrooms where built-in wardrobe still stand tall. Step into the bathroom and you find a bathtub.

For this fasting month, Bumbu Cabe offers an array of Indo Sudanese cuisine:

Vegetables such as green beans, fried spinach and brinjals

Tempe is a strong theme 

A very delicious vege dish

Various finger food and cakes

Ulam-ulaman and rojak centre

A hearty meal indeed

Despite the out of ordinary layout of the restaurant, the owner/supervisor/manager was very friendly and helpful. She even recognised that it was my second time there in a fortnight. The atmosphere was a very family-friendly type due to the overall "homey" feeling it brings. 

The wooden tables laid out are sturdy and some rooms had couches - no beds, though!

Overall, I enjoyed the food and the experience of dining in Bumbu Cabe. Indo food can be spicy but they have quite a range of interesting flavours, thanks to seasonings and local ingredients.
