Chakitiam – Kota Kinabalu

Seems like the locals here like to have their tea break at this kopitiam. So, what’s do most of the customers order?

The most fantastic cha siu pao I have ever had. Just simply fantastic.

Do remember to order the lemon tea when you’re here. It’s taste it just perfect. Till now I still can’t find anything that is close to it in Semenanjung Malaysia.

Here’s the location to the shop.

Wan Wan Coffee Shop – Kota Kinabalu

This coffee shop is located at Bundusan area, nearby Damai Club and KDCA in Kota Kinabalu. They open daily from 6.30am till 2.30pm.

This coffee shop is famous for mince meat kon lou mee, fish noodle, fish fillet and fish cakes.

  Look at the crowd on a weekday morning. Food must be fantastic right?

A snap of the price list. You can’t really anything remotely close to these kind of pricing in KL.

Giant groper fish fillet soup.

Fish noodles.

Tom yam mee hun soup.

Kon lou mee. The mee’s texture and meat slices is fantastic. Each bite feels heavenly.

Definately a must go place for breakfast if you happen to be in Kota Kinabalu.

Keningau Paus

What so special about paus in Keningau you might ask.

Well you have the typical cha siu pau, red bean pau… wait a minute.

Petai Pau? Mui Choy Pau? Peanut Pau? Pumpkin pau? Oh gawd, seldom you see these kind of paus being sold in peninsular Malaysia.

All the paus are handmade as indicated by the sign, and taste fantastic also.

And they are cheap also… 6 paus for something like RM6 if I remember correctly.

Sabah Day 1 – Kuo Man Restaurant

When we eventually arrived at Kota Kinabalu, it was already lunch time. So my wife’s 3rd uncle took us for lunch one of famous eateries in Kota Kinabalu – Kuo Man Restaurant.

This restaurant is famous for their homemade noodles and fish cutlets. Too bad fish cutlets were sold out when we were there. :(

This is the version of dry noodles. Taste like a mixture of wan tan mee & meehun.

A bowl of beef slices in soup.

A bowl of mixed various sections beef.

Prawns in soup.

Pork slices in soup. Pork in Sabah appears to taste better.

Here’s the address:

Food Foundry

This might be late. But here are some photos taken from Food Foundry (Sec 17) on 5th May.

Cupocinno

 

Salad

Fish and Chips

Brother in-law’s succulent lamb rack? Can’t remember. But the photo looks more like a drumstick. :P

Chicken cordon bleu

My spaghetti carbonara. Not bad..

 

Food Foundry is famous for their Crepe.

Forgot what this desert is called. But anything with raisins on it, i will like… yum

Sang Kee Restaurant

After watching Taste With Jason which features various tasty food outlets around Malaysia (mainly the peninsular so far), I decided to give this restaurant a try a week after the restaurant was featured on the show. Boy what a mistake that was:

This was the crowd at 7pm on a weekend

It even overflowed to the lane outside.

Ok. Decided to do the right thing and not wait.

Take 2. Went again during the Labor Day long holidays.

Crowd sort of died out a bit. But still as many people inside the restaurant. Had to wait almost an hour for food.

This is what we ordered.

“Wat dan yin yeong” which was recommended on the show. Well, it’s good and very worth a try.

“Kau choy stir fried with pork”

Sweet and sour pork. Very nice.

All the food and drinks came up to around RM35 for 2 pax, quite reasonable if you asked me. Well bit of advice, do not go to a place which was recommended by the show directly after the week it was aired, chances are there will be a huge crowd of people. Let the hype die out let say about 3 week – 1 month + then give a try. 

Address and contact details can be found here.

Hatyai Street

After reading a food blog about Hatyai Street in bangsar, I’ve decided to go give it a try.

Hatyai Street is located opposite TMC bangsar and beside Denise wine bar.

The condiments that are provided. (Thai chili sauce, green Thai chili sauce, curry powder? and hidden behind is the fish sauce.)

Stir fried chicken with basil leaves. (RM13)

Medium pig trotter dish (RM18) Nice..

Pad Thai.

Paku pakis with coconut milk.

Prices are quite reasonable considering the restaurant is located in bangsar. Worth having a try if you’re around the area. Oh ya, obviously the restaurant is non-halal.

Memphis Bistro

Visited Memphis Bistro last Saturday for dinner. The bistro is located at quite a secluded place at Pusat Perdagangan Dana 1. Full address below this post.

We (Me, Wife & Sis In Law) order the following food:

Wild mushroom soup.

For appetizer, we ordered this. “Deep fried soft-shell crab” Quite crunchy and yummy.

Can’t remember what the wife ordered. I think it’s some chicken dish.

While my Sis in-law ordered the lamb shank. Very juicy and tender lamb shank.

I ordered this. Grilled tiger prawns. Very big, meaty and juicy tiger prawns. Although I think as a main course, this wouldn’t be very filling.

For desert: Molten chocolate cake with ice cream. Hope I got the name correct. Very fantastic molten chocolate cake, very rich chocolate. Highly recommended. The average price for the main dishes here range from RM18-RM50. The bistro is still considered quite new, thus the menu is still quite limited. Food and ambience of the bistro is ok and worth visiting if you haven’t tried it before.
