Walk into Slurrp during lunchtime, and the cosy restaurant is packed with regulars chomping down hot bowls of Kolo Mee, Sarawak Laksa, and Kampua Mee. We speak to founder and head chef Gary Lim, who hails from Kuching. 

• Did you know that China’s biggest winery, Changyu, shares the same founder as Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion? The special wines are available at The Bar and Indigo, housed within the establishment.
