KK : When East (Dumpling) Meet West (Coffee) by Dumpling Cafe 【沙巴食】 亚庇 ： 饺子咖啡馆 Lintas

Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. 沙巴， 亚庇。
Non Halal.

Just by the look of the presentation, their dumplings simply eye catching. The first impression when I knew there's a cafe highlighting their coffee and Shantung (China) dumplings were an odd combination. No matter what, it was quite surprising that people like us might want to try out the cafe.

第一次试了这家饺子咖啡馆， 光听它的招牌是有点怪怪的。 问自己咖啡与饺子怎么配呢? 好吧！ 我们乘午餐时间就去试一试！

- Kon Lou Noodle 干捞面 -

Although the noodle was oily, however, I love the noodle texture which is springy and just nice. :) Non the less, the taste of Char Siew was savory and the oil layer of it was just nice as well, not over done with it.

试了他们家的咖啡， 干捞面， 饺子还有煎包。 味道是有的， 但平均都蛮油腻的。 也许现在已经改良了他们的美食配料了。我们到这家餐馆也有一段时间（刚开始营业的两个星期内）， 也许不再像之前了吧。

- Tenom Coffee 丹南咖啡 -

- Iced Black Coffee 冷黑咖啡 -

- Pork Dumplings 猪肉饺子 -

- Fried Dumpling 生煎包 -

Saw the oil bursting from inside out! While having the fried bun, remember to dip the vinegar with ginger slices! Without them, the fried bun will taste oily and that's how the Chinese eat!

煎包内的汁令人怀念呀！ 记得要搭配酱料以免太油腻的感觉。

China : Yang Shuo - West Street (Pedestrian Street) 【中国游】 阳朔 - 西街步行街

China Part 4 - Guang Xi Region : Gui Lin - Yang Shuo
中国篇 4 - 广西 ： 桂林 - 阳朔

An interesting yet beautiful city of Yang Shuo. Stepping out from the long hours of ferry ride along GuiLin River, the air seems fresh at Yang Shuo. Such a calm and quiet destination to visit. 

Embarked at the jetty and we walked along the pedestrian area - West Street! So beautiful and it is similar street as Jiu Fen, Taipei, Taiwan! Interesting souvenirs can be found, as for street food, not recommended. We had doughnut and it smells OILY! 

Here you are, from my eye I see these. :)

阳朔/ 桂林的确是拥有漂亮风景也称为中国美景之一。 乘了好久的船， 我们也到达了下一个目的地 - 阳朔。 我们步行到酒店， 也乘着时走马看花！ 下一个节目就是晚上， 我们观看了“刘三姐”露天剧场, 百人表演也让我们大开眼界。

以下是在我眼里看到的情景， 事件。 :)

The moment I saw "illy", I wanted to try them and thought that the cafe would serve something good, but turned out, the donut was oily and mom was nagging me letting my dad eat the donut. Crap. (-_-)

一家让我失望的咖啡屋。 还以为可以吃到一些我喜欢的食物。 （叹气） 甜甜圈有一股油味， 我还被妈妈骂！

KK : That Tuaran Mee just opposite S.M. All Saints (Da Fatt Xing) 【沙巴食】 亚庇 Likas 的斗亚兰面 (大发兴）！

Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. 沙巴， 亚庇。

Raise your hand if you are Ex- All Saints! 

Da Fatt Xing 大发兴 is the coffee shop in Likas which may of us, the school leavers familiar with.

It was located just opposite the main entrance of All Saints School. All Saints school reminds me quite a lot of memories and perhaps many of us, the school leavers will flash back a bit of how naughty were us. Those days.

位于里卡士的大发兴曾经是陪我们一起成长的一家茶店， 老板娘的确还记得我哦！ 虽然只是一份笑容， 那也是我们开心的欢迎那些熟悉的脸孔。我是曾经就读All Saint 的， 妈妈曾在那儿附近做生意的， 所以在里卡士也逗留很久了。

- Tuaran Mee 斗亚兰面 -

Some of them said it has one of the best Tuaran Mee in town. As for me, the taste was a bit flat when we were there for breakfast after so many years. And YES, they were once claimed having the best Tuaran Mee.

Tuaran Mee was originated from Tuaran. And the owner of Da Fatt Xing was from Tuaran and came to KK to run his coffee shop many years ago. I think the shop was there more 20 years ago.

被列为其中一家著名斗亚兰面的一家茶店， 但对我而言， 那句也只是曾经。曾经真的很好吃， 我也很喜欢他家足够火候的滑蛋河。 如果没记错的话， 这家已经营业的超过20 年了。

- All Saints School 中学校 -

Our school that has been changed a lot since we left. 现在的学校不像以前的我们读书时简单， 没要求的环境念书。

- Wa Tan Ho 滑蛋河 -

- That's me and my plate -

Sometimes not because of the taste that we are seeking for, it is simply the environment and the norms of ours to be there. :)

有时不是因为食物的味道而到这儿， 人嘛。。。 会想回到熟悉的地方吃吃饭， 回想学生时代咯！ 

That's all for today! 今天到此了！

KK Cafe : Crepes & Coffee by De Vie Deli 【沙巴吃】 咖啡与千层糕 Pavilion Bundusan

Kota Kinabalu, Sabah 沙巴， 亚庇。

It was one of the cafe that I would rather be. :)

一家我会考虑再回去的咖啡屋。

- Crepe 千层糕 -

It was Saturday evening when there's no where to go and since I'm alone while waiting for the hubs to finish his job. If you spotted me in around that area, don't mind to say Hi! 

Spotted De Vie Deli and went in to have a cuppa with slice of crepe. I love to have crew once in a while. :)

星期六， 除了喝茶减压， 还可以做些什么呢？ 如果有一天您看到我在咖啡屋附近， 别奇怪哦！ 来打个招呼吧！嘻嘻 :)

- Orange coffee and crepe -

Sweet, sour, bitter combination of coffee, a bit weird, however, it has interesting taste.

有点酸酸， 甜甜 还有咖啡味的一杯。 有点怪， 可是蛮特别的， 值得一试。

- They Interior 室内装潢 -

Simple and clean design, just like other cafes under the name "De Vie". We just need to choose our favourite crepe from the fridge and beverage from the menu and pay for the bill! Not only those crepes they are offering, they do have other desserts too! And each "De Vie" have their specialty as well. Check them out!

舒服， 简单利落的装潢也是近来很受欢迎的。 好吧！ 每家 “De Vie” 咖啡屋都有他们的独特甜点， 你们也该去看看吧！
