Instead of Google-searching places to eat, some of us prefer to Facebook-search them.
Facebook conveniently allows us to look at reviews, photos and the locations of the food outlets.
Not only that, Facebook has enabled hardcore foodies to form their own pages and groups, providing them an online discussion space to share their photos and critiques.
With these independent foodie pages, you can always post a question and let your fellow food enthusiasts answer. Plus, if there is a new food place to try, nobody tells you faster than people on Facebook.
Scroll the list down below and see which of these Facebook pages/groups to follow as your ultimate East Malaysian Food Guide.
Facebook! Tell me where to eat in Sarawak!
1. Kuching Food Critics
This Facebook group is the creme de la creme of Kuching food guides.
The members are helpful and they will always have recommended places according to your preferences.
They also rate their foods so you will know what to expect from your orders.
Watch out for Ah Ong, one of the group admins: he seems to have a lot of insight on what is going on in the Kuching foodie-sphere.
The group aims to provide a healthy space for discussion on food, so play nice while you are in it.
Follow the rules on their About Page and always remember rule number 15.
If you are not much of a team player and do not want to join a Facebook group, you can like their page too.
It is equally helpful and informative.
