A lively evening place for a group that eats seafood. Ask to see prices first, as Wikivoyage warns some stalls have overcharged tourists. Not a vegetarian option.

Why it matters
Why Top Spot Food Court is worth your time
A rooftop food court shows another side of Kuching eating, the group dinner where everyone orders from a different stall. It is close to the Padungan area, which also has several vegetarian restaurants listed elsewhere in this guide, so a mixed-diet family could split the evening.
The honest warning is about prices: use it with care, treat the page's advice as the rule, and keep a note of what you agreed at each stall so the final bill matches the price you were quoted before cooking started.

How to experience it
Top Spot is a food court on the top floor of the Taman Kereta car park on Jalan Padungan. Wikivoyage describes many stalls at varied prices, with seafood on the pricey side.
The practical rule from that page is to ask to see prices first. Settle the price of each dish, and the weight if seafood is sold by weight, before the stall cooks it. Choose a stall with a visible price list and other customers.
Groups can order from different stalls and share a table. Go in the evening when it is livelier, but avoid the very busiest hour if you want to keep your party together. Because it is up a car park, ask a staff member or your hotel where the lift is.
