Tavern Kitchen & Bar, Imago Shopping Mall

Sabah - Kota Kinabalu Eats

Serve No Pork

Tavern Kitchen & Bar (Tavern). The fusion concept of Tavern caught my attention, combining the Sabahan native ingredients, local Malaysian and Western dishes and even the interior of the restaurant was interesting yet trendy.

- Tavern Kitchen & Bar -

A renowned restaurant and bar located in Imago Shopping Mall and it is also the Top 25 best restaurant in KK on Tripadvisor out of 414 restaurants.

- The Doors concept stage -

At one corner of the restaurant, it either for stage performance or tables for guests.

- Graffiti -

Art of Sabah landmarks, symbols and beauty.

It was impressive with the interior design that art pieces blended in with Sabah slang and details. Tavern interior design by Ben Firdaus, the host of Season 2 of Casa Impian (interior design TV show).

- Mango Mojito -

 
One of Tavern's best seller. Tasted mango with puree, rum and mint. 

I love their list of beverages, there's unique cocktails and mocktails and same goes to other non-alcoholic drinks. Sumandak On Fire Flaming Cocktail, KK is Burning Flaming Cocktail, Teh Tarik Long Island and the list goes on for all the favourites! 

The best part is Tavern's having Happy Hour too! Which is twice a day, from 3pm - 6pm and 10pm - 12 midnight!

 - Mac and Cheese Burger -

Homemade Charcoal Bun, macaroni and cheese. The macaroni tasted just right and just the way it suppose to be!

- Nasi Goreng Tuhau with Ayam Berempah & Bambagan -

The local fusion dish and I like the taste of the tuhau fried rice. Tuhau is a word of the native which referring to wild ginger. Fragrant fried rice with large portion that rich in flavour.

- Black Spicy Chicken Wingies -

Spicy chicken wings with crispy tuhau. The level of spiciness is acceptable, and if you would like to have even spicier, just inform the service crew.

- Spicy Sabah Seafood Pasta -

No wonder their pasta is in the favourite list, I love the taste of the pasta sauce, spicy and local, el dente pasta is a must.

- Monster Shake -

A milkshake lover must love.

- Tom Yum Seafood Soup -

- Beef Burger -

Tender beef patty with homemade charcoal bun! A choice for burger lovers.

- New Menu -

Occasionally, Tavern will create new menu at their restaurant. 

With head chef, Marcel Lomangkok and team of 40 experienced chefs, bartenders and service crew, quality shown in the restaurant with one of the best service in KK.

- Vapeshot -

First in KK, the video is shown below!

- Boom Boom Sizzling Brownies -

500 plates sold WEEKLY. Instant hot and cold at one bite, it was heavenly! All of us love this! How is served? Check on below video!

KK Food : Jiu Long Bing Shi 九龙冰室, Lintas

My oh my...

It was a big hoo haa when this Hong Kong theme was open weeks ago. I have made a visit to this air-cond coffee shop and it was quite disappointing.

Nothing to say much and it's just an amateur Hong Kong style coffee shop. 

By seeing all the photos. You know. :)

So much to be improved.
