Pork Hamburger Found Here at Comi Comi Hamburger Sandwich, Bundusan

Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. 
Serving Non Halal

猪扒包? (Pork Burger), finger food, all day breakfast and even serving Instant Korean Noodle with Luncheon Meat are available here.

Never knew that Comi Comi serving varieties of express dish and we only knew it when we visited there this afternoon for a tea session.

Well, we had Luncheon Meat with Egg White Burger 午餐肉馒头 and Scallion Cake with Ham 葱油饼. The Scallion Cake seems like "Roti Canai" for me!

Anyway, it was a nice place to chill for a cup of coffee and light meal with budget pricing. I like it!

KK Eats : That Inanam Capital's Wo Yen Kee Kopitiam 和源记 for Nasi Lemak Crispy Roasted Pork

KK Eats : Inanam Capital
Food : Non Halal.
Price : Individual selection from RM7.50 to RM12.00.

With recent long holiday, my parents brought me for breakfast at Inanam Capital with my aunt who would love to try out new dishes, especially famous one.

A Chinese will always seek for good roasted pork, duck and somehow chicken as well.

It was early as 9.30am and my dad had the Nasi Lemak, but instead of Crispy Roasted Pork (which all recommended this!), my dad had roasted duck and Char Siew (BBQ Pork).

We went there not at the right time where the last portion of roasted pork was taken! We saw the last was given to the table next to us. How sad was it. (-_-)

I heard and read about the good comments of Wo Yen Kee Kopitiam, hopefully my next visit would be lucky to try it!

What I had? I had KonLao Noodle with Roasted Duck. I was full from my breakfast earlier at home, the soy stirred noodle was fine and for sure they have quality roasted duck too.

Inanam Capital, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia.

Is a type of Chinese food that the labour from the olden days at the port to energise their energy and maintain their health to work harder. The explanation that I mentioned here is stated by one of the BKT restaurant at Port Klang when I was there months ago. ;)

KK Food : Sabah Chilli Pan Mee 沙巴辣椒板面 @ Lintas

Kota Kinabalu Eats

In fact, Sabah Chilli Pan Mee is not a new restaurant from the block. It was quite a successful restaurant that somehow maintained their quality and makes me return for their signature dish once in a while.

There's quite a number of negative comments when they just started their business, as for now, with lots of  improvements, they are running well and opened a new branch at Gaya Street too.

 - Signature Pan Mee -

Handmade Pan Mee, Minced Pork, Anchovies, Half boiled egg, special ingredients and homemade dried chilli to be added with our preference.

The image above was taken months ago, when I first visited their restaurant while they are still new. The egg was 80% boiled, which less with its runny egg yolk. However, it used to be that, but not recent. They have improved in many site.

- How to eat? -

Mix all the ingredient and that's their signature Pan Mee. ;)

Tawau, Sabah - Aladin Noodle House 亚拉丁面食之家

Tawau - Part 2
Non Halal

Often heard about the delicious local dishes else where other than Kota Kinabalu offered. Shall I say, KK food often influenced by other provinces? And other provinces includes Tawau and Sandakan as well! :)

After the Sandakan food discovery, we went to Tawau for family trip and family trip meant for food too! I have a brother in law who love to eat. (lol). One of the local find out was at one of the oldest area in Tawau, having our Nasi Lemak time and Prawn Noodle time. 

Interesting that they are doing well although the restaurant located at first floor and it was delicious! Tasted Malaysian with hint of Malay cuisine and Chinese! 

- Nasi Lemak, Prawn Noodle and Fish slices soup -

Nothing to complain about. It taste really good. :) It's a must visit in Tawau.

- Aladin Noodle House -

It was nice having lunch at Aladin, where all that looks like the old Kota Kinabalu that once had. The people, the environment and all. :)

Sandakan 【山打根】 : Moon 'n' Star Pork Noodle 生肉面

Sandakan, Sabah. 沙巴，山打根。
Restaurant - Non Halal

After the long wait at Sim Sim Water Village for our unseen breakfast, we went to the next recommended restaurant for breakfast.

- Moon 'n' Star Sang Nyuk Mian -

Packed with people and luckily our friends from KK were there too, therefore, its the fastest way to have seats and food!

Different soup base as compared from KK, having Ham Choi soup base, Tomato based, Curry based, Pepper based and more.

- Tomato based Sang Nyuk Mian -

Its a norms that Chinese loves pork (lol), when there's pork, that shop would have crowded with lots of people!

- Ham Choi based -

Interesting local food that many would like to try perhaps. As for me, the soup tasted light which I had. I love savory food taste that's why, different people having different favour.

Both both me and Mr. Hubs, Moon 'n' Star might not the right place for us. :)

Sandakan 【山打根】 : The 7th & 8th Bridge, The Seafood at Sim-Sim Water Village

We made it!

Check out from Four Point Sheraton Sandakan and immediately we went to Sim Sim. Heard about the their seafood and guess what? Way packed than you imagine.

- 7th Bridge -

We walk through 7th Bridge and the seafood restaurant we mentioned is located nearer to the 8th Bridge.

- Sim Sim Water Village -

I believe that there are still people staying in the houses and the view just inspiring. Very local type of Hong Kong scene.

Did I ever mentioned that Sandakan was also known as "Little Hong Kong"? The elder generation were came from Hong Kong back then, even the Cantonese dialect is well spoken until today.

- Sim Sim Seafood Restaurant -

We were there and waited for almost an hour with two glasses of hot beverages. About our breakfast, Gosh! We didn't even manage to have them despite of the time we are rushing for our flight soon.

Say bye to Century Egg Dumplings and Spring Noodle. :(

- Sim Sim Water Village -

Simply love Sabah. :) Good to know and exploring Sandakan lifestyle.

Sandakan Eats : Good Taste Bak Kut Teh 【山打根吃】 好味肉骨茶 Nam Tung Street

They say it is the best Bak Kut Teh in Sandakan town. There were friends who like the another one which Nam Choi BKT 南财肉骨茶 and in fact, Nam Choi BKT located at the corner end of Good Taste BKT (same row).

The high lights of Good Taste BKT is their seafood BKT while Nam Choi BKT is their PORK BKT.

- Media highlights -

It was half way lucky that we were only able to taste Good Taste BKT seafood version, while Nam Choi BKT was close on Monday. :(

- Our selection -

We suppose to try their LaiMang (a type of fish) BKT which was famous and didn't get to try it because of the staff that was NOT HELPFUL while she was taking our order. NO RECOMMENDATION etc. HOW WE KNOW WHAT'S THE BEST SELLER? Every where just good food in Sandakan. *Shake Head*

- SEAFOOD BAK KUT TEH -

We had prawn balls, meatballs, fish meat and prawns. In fact, we prefer the original pork Bak Kut Teh that we had normally, as for seafood BKT, the soup base just taste PEPPER, GINGER and relevant spices. Not my kind of selection. :) I love soup and I am very particular with it. ;)

That's all! POKEMON GO fever in town! ;) Be alert!

Nam Tung street (use Waze to search for the spot, it's that easy)

Sandakan, Sabah. 沙巴， 山打根。

It is a norms that majority of the hotels now a days are serving halal/ serve no pork. Back to Sandakan foodie findout and it was also the fourth breakfast we had that morning, after pastries at Gold Crown. Oh gosh! Second day in Sandakan was scary and high cholesterol day, I was dizzy during night. *faint*

There we went and had breakfast with Mr. Hubs' relative at Palm Garden, Sandakan Hotel. One of the two or the only one hotel that serve pork Dim Sum. The restaurant was way crowded and the service unexpectedly very slow and they need to keep up with the crowd.

- Dim Sums -

Who doesn't love Dim Sum? We could see when there's Dim Sum in local shop areas, there will be crowd!

About the taste, portion is big or normal. There's a few tray that we never tasted before in KK. :)

- Hotel Sandakan -

One of the recommended one in Sandakan. If you have the time, just be there and wait! haha! Good food are meant to wait. To avoid crowds, you might opt to be there during non peak season.

Bundusan Pavilion 应该算是美食街吧？ 在这区我们可以品尝到各式各样的美食。 日本餐， 快餐， 著名小吃等等。

听阿力士说在这里有一间食物价格合理还有给客人的分量也ok的茶店， 我当然也要去吃吃看。 

Recently, it's been a while that I have noticed Bundusan Pavilion's area do offers variety of food to eat, from Japanese food, Wine cellar, cafes and local famous eateries.

Alex has been telling me about this restaurant which offers foods at reasonable price and providing satisfied portion as well. That's made me went for a try and I have been there twice last month.

- 干捞粉面 Kon Lou Noodle -

这是一间有提供猪肉的茶店。 阿力士叫了这碗， 还有猪油炸呢！

Kedai Kopi Koki is a restaurant serving non halal food. Alex had Kon Lou Noodles (Sang Nyuk Mian), definitely different flavour as compared to the few famous Sang Nyuk Mian Restaurant.

- 槟城亚三拉沙 Penang Assam Laksa -

什么让我对这间茶店感到兴趣?　必定是他们家的槟城亚三拉沙！　我没吃过正宗的槟城亚三拉沙，所以一定要来试试。

I have heard about the Penang Assam Laksa that Koki Coffee Shop offers. I never tried an authentic one, therefore it is a must to try just like I told my friends. :D

- 槟城亚三拉沙 Penang Assam Laksa -

 罗杂的浆料，好像槟城的浆味。　那玩面条的确是真确的！　味道真的有鱼香味。　

The brown colour sauce is rojak sauce which taste the same like the one from Penang. The bowl of noodles is the correct noodles for Assam Laksa! The flavour was taste like Sardin and spices! It is Penang Assam Laksa!

- 猪肠粉　Zhu Chang Fen 图片取于 Charlotte Credit to Charlotte -

好久没吃那么好吃的猪肠粉了！　这是第一句话当我吃了第一口！

我觉得在Bundusan Pavilion这区，　国记茶室值得一试，　想吃饱的可以去！想吃不一样的可以建议吃他们的槟城亚三拉沙。不是最棒，可是满足那个饿的肚子。　

The first phrase I have said was "IT IS SO GOOD!". Its' been so long since the last I had Zhu Chang Fen. Wow! This plate do make some credit for sure!

KK : Annyeong Haseyo! The Bab's Korean BBQ at Likas

Another round of delicious Korean Cuisine during one fine night.

While it was Bae birthday, we went to The Bab's for a nice Korean dinner in town, some where where not many people would go. 

- The Bab's -

It was our first time there, such a pretty environment at the restaurant, painted in purple and white. :) We have option to have our dinner outdoor and indoor, I'm a bit reluctant to sit out. Way to hot to dine in at Korean restaurant while we stayed in a humid environment 24/7 here.

- Appetizer/ Starter -

So many to eat while waiting for the main dishes!

- Pork Bibimbap - 

By looking at it's presentation, THEY WIN IT!

 

- Hot Plate Bibimbap -

In fact, I love Bibimbap and we had two pots of bibimbap in addition with a plate of fried pancake. Over eating that night for two of us, but it was delicious!!

- Bibimbap - 

Stirred Bibimbap! Both of them were scrumptious, tender meat as for the pork one. Stirred all of it together with their sauce, can't wait for another bite.

- Kimchi Pancake -

Kimchi pancake by The Bab's still acceptable, maybe it wasn't what I have expected. I tried a few Korean style pancake in town, I liked it and I'm still searching for the best one in town!

Overall, dinner at The Bab's was GOOD, however, the guy who took our order was a bit "gangsta" styled, I was totally surprised with the way he talk while taking our order. (No patient) *Boo* 

I paid two person in total of RM78.00++ that night, gosh.
