Ian-Tau Sarawak Laksa was founded by passionate Mitchell Gan from Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia. He originally came to Singapore to work for Singapore Airlines (SIA), but was unfortunately let go due to the Covid-19 pandemic. His uncle suggested he start a Sarawak Laksa business, which he was frequently cooking at home.The stall name has an interesting story behind it. Since young, Mr Gan used to frequent a Sarawak Laksa stall back in his hometown in Kuching. Whenever he patronised the stall, the stall owner would amicably call out Ian-Tau (Hokkien for Handsome) is here!. Mr Gan therefore named his stall after the call of the endearing stall owner, as a fond memory.Sarawak Laksa is made using prawn stock, Sambal Belachan, tamarind and coconut milk. Those who are familiar with the taste of Prawn Noodles might say it is a combination of Prawn Noodles and Laksa! A bowl of Sarawak Laksa contains rice vermicelli soaked in the flavourful broth, along with prawns, as well as lime to give the dish a sour tang. You can also choose whether you want more prawns, or even upgrade to Jumbo Prawns!The stall also sells Kolo Mee, a Chinese noodle dish served dry. They serve 2 flavours - noodles tossed in Char Siew sauce, or without. The noodles come with a scoop of minced meat, a few slices of sweet Char Siew, together with a touch of pork lard that elevates the dish!Ian-Tau Sarawak Laksa has another outlet located in Vivo City Kopitiam.
