Satay/Sotong/Ikan Bakar

This is located beside the Sandakan Dewan Masyarakat (Community Hall)
I have no idea what name is that shop because i never paid attention to the name!

Closed during that time i took the picture

Recommendations are...SATAY..rumored to be the best satay in Sandakan
But unfortunately i was too lazy to take the pic of the satay XD
The sauce is abit hotter/spicier than the satay sauce from Shin Cheong Loong in Town Centre

But then they also have Ikan Bakar..Not bad

Looks abit dry here tho hehe

And oh i saved the best for the last...

SOTONG!!!-with a very nice curry smell but not really hot..crunchy too!
And the best part is that it is very addictive..i can finish the whole plate in 5 minutes!haha

Lee Kim

Located in Mile 8, exact location is...right after you drive/walk pass Servay Hypermarket

I am not so sure about what they are famous for..anyone care to enlighten me??

Anyways, i deicided to try their Siu Gai Kon Lou Mee (Chicken)

A little different from normal kon lou mee
because they use the sauce for the chicken/duck itself as the sauce for the mee also

This is Siu Ap Kon Lou Mee (Duck) - Not bad

And look what i found there, UFO~~

It is TALL but the yellowish part inside is...rather little

I still miss Chung Ming Hing's old UFO

Egg Tarts - Not too bad also..worth trying

Equatorial Restaurant

Locals sure know this restaurant very well as its always the place where locals held their wedding dinner and sometimes catering from them. The food? Of course it's.. SUPERB I LOVE THEM! They are located at Bandar Ramai-ramai, 2nd floor. Exact location..? Will be updated when I get to know how to explain it. They even have a branch at Tanjung Aru Plaza, Kota Kinabalu.

(I don't really know the exact names of the dishes. Will update once I know the names)

Mango Chicken (?)
I'm not a mango fan. However it is said that it goes kinda well.
Underneath the chicken skin, there's a slice of mango and under it, it's the something like chicken salad and lettuce. Not bad.

Jelly fish + some-clams
This dish is so appetizing because of the taste.
It's actually an appetizer.
Recommended

Zhit Kong Kuat ( Zhit Kwong bones?)
I seriously recommend this dish. It's actually pork.
The special thing is the sauce.
The pork too is JUICY.
PERSONAL FAVOURITE

Sui Jing Ha (Crystal Prawn ?)
The only place that can make the prawn sparkling like that is none other than Equatorial Restaurant. Seriously, other places just made it looks like some Mayonaise prawn.
The prawn is juicy and it's fresh. The sauce? The chef is so great to make the thing.. SHINING and SPARKLING *kirakira*pikapika*
PERSONAL FAVOURITE

Dunno-what-fish-dish
It's abit spicy. Not that spicy. Even I can't tolerate with spicy stuff can have it.
Not bad. The fish is fresh. The meat is...firm, which is nice.

(Missing name)
By right, if eaten at the restaurant itself I think this thing is actually in a SMALL wok. And I really mean SMALL wok. It has clams, mushrooms, fish maw and etc (which I don't know the names in English) I like this thing. The taste is very nice. Very-chinese.

(Missing name Soup)
This thing is not shark-fin soup or the crabmeat soup. If not mistaken it's actually a tofu soup.
However the taste is SOOO like the fish maw thick soup. It taste LIKE the fish maw soup, but it does have it's own taste as it's NOT a fish maw soup. Not bad. I like it.

Scallop + Celery (?)
It consist of scallops and celery and some other vege and mushrooms. As like the look, it's very CLEAR. This dish is light and clear, however the TASTE is there. It is SWEET. If you want me to put it in a culinary-term. It is as clear as a consomme, but it is full of taste like a consomme too.
RECOMMENDED

Images uploaded here are food from there,but not taken in the restaurant itself cause we have it at home. Means take-away. This place is a MUST GO.

Little Nanyang

I had ALWAYS wanted to try this shop..it was there since years ago but i haven't actually got the correct time and correct mood to step into this restaurant..

Btw it's located in Indah, same row as 7Heaven (i have yet to write a review on 7Heaven but i haven't the the chance to!!)

Anyways back to Little Nanyang

This..is..Ka Hiong Chicken Rice (Not too sure about the name, i didn't order this)

Nasi Lemak - rm6.90 (wuuu, my wallet is crying)

I didnt like the cucumber and the jeruk, other than that it was delicious


Teh C Ping, which i didn't order because it was quite expensive and i don't think it will be any better than the rm1.40 Teh C Ping that i can easily get from Pasar Kim Fung (refer to previous posts)

(I did order a drink - mineral water but they forgot about it T_T)


I don't think i will be coming back to this shop anytime soon because it is a little expensive and the service there is not quite up to par..(eventhough the nasi lemak rice is kinda aromatic hehe)

Maybe next time..

Kedai Kopi Baru Bar Lock Yuen

It's is kinda hidden..at least it's not situated in some popular busy area..
You can find it somewhere along the road to Batu Sapi across our Pantai "Putih"

Walk inside to find the shop's main attraction..

Freshly baked bread..

From Kaya Buns, Red Bean Buns, Peanut Buns to Plain Buns(I think)..

But my personal favourite would be the Peanut Bun

In addition you can always ask them cut and add butter in the middle (and Kaya too but i still prefer it without the Kaya)

Look at how the butter MELTS in the bun.and the bread itself is so soft and fresh
YES I KNOW IT'S FATTENING but why not pamper yourself once in a while??XD

Asian Delight

Newly opened (kinda) eatery in Taman Tyng. Same block with Edo Ichi. Kinda near to each other. So call serving Japan-Chinese style food. It kinda wanted to be like a Kim Gary Restaurant. I THINK.

Beef Katsu Retsu Mein
I don't what is Retsu.
It's the 1st time I ate 'fried' beef.
Not much to be commented.

Cheese Bake Rice with Char Siu Chicken
I kinda recommend this. The cheese go well with the Char Siu Chicken.
Not bad.

Chicken Katsu Mein
Wanted to try lamb. But out of stock.
The chicken is kinda nice with RICE.
But not with mee with sauce. It's kinda weird for me

Food here comes with a bowl of soup. Today we get Salted vege soup. Not bad. However I don't quite like the milky tea here. It taste kinda weird.

Pasar Kim Fung

Mile 4 market is a MUST-GO place for cheap and good food. There are alot of different things here. Some stall offering the same thing but need to know which stall is the best.

I like sotong + kangkung
Kinda is a must order. Where is the exact stall?
I don't know how to direct @@
But do try this out.

Another MUST-ORDER
Wo tet/dumpling.
Refer to previous post for locations.

3 items above is a must order. Totally recommended

Not forgetting, the fried radish cake.
This time without taugeh cause EMQ don't like 'em.

Please look for this glass to locate the stall. In my opinion, it's the BEST Teh C Ping I ever had.
The tea taste is so rich. Even the ice already finish melting, the tea is still GREAT.
Unlike most Teh C Ping, when the ice melted, it'll be very tasteless.
This is milky and yet it didn't effect the tea taste.
TOTALLY RECOMMENDED!

Gotta imagine how nice this thing is? 3 person, from 3 glass to 5 glass.
It's VERY nice. Especially during these days crazy weathers.

After all that and you get a bloated tummy.
*yum*yum*

Edo Ichi

I'm posting about Edo Ichi again. Please refer to previous post about it.

Hokkigai Sushi
I finally get to eat it.
I love this dunno-what-clam dish

Tako Sushi
It's octopus by the way

I forgot what's this

Unagi Sushi
I recommend to request them to reheat them.
It certainly taste nicer when warm.

Cuttlefish in I-forgot-sauce
It's kinda NORMAL.
The sauce is kinda nice tho.

I also forgot what's the name of this

This...whatever-maki
The cheese in the middle is definately LOVE

Salmon maki

I get to eat their Nestum ice-cream again. I just love their ice cream.

Hawaii Restaurant

Located at town. It's actually INSIDE City View Hotel. The food here USED to be value for money. I mean their serving is VERY big despite the price since last time. I'm not sure about now since price hike.*sigh*

Black Pepper Lamb + Rice
It's kinda normal.

Chinese wine soup.
If you love chinese wine, I certainly recommend this. The chicken inside is kinda tasteless
but I love the soup alot. Very rich in chinese wine..? It's kinda HOT if you finish it tho.
The soup's serving is SOOO big that it takes 2 person to finish it.

The set lunch and dinner in this restaurant is certainly recommend for the value. It's damn cheap and it's a 3-4 course meal. Where'd you get to find such deal? Taste wise..? not bad I would say.

English Tea House & Restaurant

Looking at this creature, locals sure know where is this place.

Mr Peacock is like an icon to this place.
Kinda.

English Tea House & Restaurant
located at Jalan Istana, right on top of a ..hill?

The walkway.
You get to play the i-dunno-what-its-called-game at the side.

Orange Rampage
A mocktail which taste kinda weird for me.
I just don't like the taste where orange juice mix with sprite?
It tasted abit bitter and sour and sweet?

Apple Tea
It smells VERY nice! It's so fragrant that it can unblock a blocked nose better than wasabi.
I think the taste is just as nice as the smell.

Soft Center Chocolate Cake
The cream is nice
I'm a cream-lover =p

I think most choco-lover would love this.
It's not that sweet,somehow just-right for me.
However, the more you have it, you'll feel weird.
It looks like a paste tho.

Black Glutinous Rice Cream Brulee
I forgot the complete name for this thing, but it's something like that.
Topped with papaya.

Taste like curry! I know it's weird to say like that.
But it taste like curry to me. I think it's because of the glutinous rice at the bottom.
I think it's nice tho. But like the choco thing, the more you have it, you'll feel weird.

From above, you get to see the Sandakan Town.

Moving down from the cafe/restaurant, there's a place to view the town.
It's advisable not to go to the place at night.
