Kedai Kopi Fui Chew

Another shop with a really long history (but not as long as town market za yuk?idk)

It's located somewhere before the cinema? On the road opposite of that building that used to be a supermarket?hmm...forget it, to be honest i don't know how to describe its location and i am lacking some imagination at the moment so forgive me! ^^;;

Anyways, it is famous for its za yuk dai fen also - a VERY generous amount of za yuk

You can choose to have extra za yuk where the za yuk can even cover your bowl of dai fen

But i suggest that normal amount of za yuk is enough because it is really alot!!
This is nice too but I think I prefer the one in town market,..

Mee...but to be honest the dai fen here is nicer eventhough I am a mee lover

Veda Blu

A relatively new cafe in Sandakan located in Mile7 Bandar Utama/Giant area
Easy to find parking because that area is still new and empty

Veda Blu (I assume it's an Italian branch) serves ice cream made with Italian recipe but before you jump in excitement the ice cream is not actually made and delivered from Italy, it is made in KK, Sabah

I was surprised to see it EMPTY that day i went there, maybe because it was a weekday

But empty is good, i can have the whole 1st floor all to myself

I like the design, the colours are soft to my eyes and i can also enjoy the view outside (if you enjoy seeing jalan raya and giant hypermarket)

Mango yoghurt smoothies - very mango, yoghurt?...not really

Ice cream cake (I forgot the name TT) - pretty normal

Ps - If you order ice cream or ice cream cake i suggest that you don't sit near the window, it melts even before you get to finish it

I didn't have enough $$ or space for ice cream so I'll try and re-edit my post next time!
So for now, I have no comment on it because the main dessert there is the ice cream and I haven't tried it once but for now my only comment is that the cake is expensive and the ice cream is expensive TT, whether it is worth the $$ or not I will decide on it later

Bandar Za Yuk KuehTeow

One of the representatives of Sandakan Food - Located at 3rd floor Sandakan Market

Since 1940 - Yes they serve daily homemade kueh teow and if you do not know this or haven't tried this then don't even call yourself a Sandakanian

Recognize the origin of these bottles? If you cook alot you will :)

And of course their Kon Lo Kueh Teow Za Yuk

Alternatively Kueh Teow Soup Za Yuk - the soup is really nice, it's not those typical Ajinomoto or kicap soup, it really does have a home soup feel..idk..

But actually the Kon Lo sauce is made from the soup itself but just slightly different taste?


Or if you are a mee lover you can have mee but i'd advice you to try the kueh teow, even i did and as a mee lover myself i will order kueh teow again if i were to eat there again

Bowl cleaned!

It's cheap too~ and reallly clean..

Restaurant New Century

Located in Taman Grandview

Tofu - Not your ordinary supermarket tofu, i believe this is homemade

Nice!I like it but i wish that it has a little bit more taste

Vege...

Spinach with Fried Century Egg Soup - Recommended!

This is another great way of eating century egg besides having it with porridge

Not recommended for people who dislike this egg

Fried Pork Leg/Knee (idk) - Recommended!

Definitely nicely done and marinated

Knee/Leg doesn't mean it has no meat, it is full of meat

and fat? i believe they are tendons actually, most of the fat would have melted away after such frying

ps- I don't think you need to use the sauce for it, it is already nice enough to eat it just like this

And so, your dog at home will be a happy dog~

The bonus part of eating there is their dessert: nothing much but better than nothing

And one more thing i would like to recommend is "Hung Siu Yin Tei" (Pork Leg stew?) but this you have to pre-order a few days before and MAKE SURE you will be there to get it..it will be such a waste of time, energy and good food if you don't

This is it...but dapao-ed - lacked the appearance but it is reallly nice, the meat melts in your mouth~

Novelty

Easily spotted Novelty in Mile 4 Bandar Kim Fung..

Not only it serves a vaaaaariety of bread, cakes and pastries it also has a 'mini' air conditioned restaurant inside it with wi-fi perfect for people who cannot stand the incredibly hot hot HOT, weather in Sandakan..

Anyways.. I actually posted about Novelty last year but i wasn't satisfied with my hp taken pictures so I am back to edit-

Mayo Chicken Rice (sadly this is my old hp taken picture)

But old pictures are sometimes treasures eventhough they are not really nicely taken..
It lets you see the changes that happened over the year:

Cheese Baked Rice
Last Year: Mangkuk Kayu

This Year: Mangkuk Kaca

I am not a HUGE fan of it because it has corn..Not their fault, mine..
I don't like corn in my rice ;_;

Chicken Chop Rice (Corn in rice..again ;_;)

But actually it is a rather small bowl - not a typical cheap Sandakan food but despite being small it will surely make you 70% full(healthy) and not fatandbloated-full(not healthy)

orange's addition
novelty is one of the bakeries that comes out with the most choices of pastry. you can find almost any flavoured mooncakes here especially near mooncake festival. other than that, their bread and cakes are quite popular too among sandakanians~ this is a halal restaurant. and serve dim sum througout of the day. this is also quite a popular place for students & working people to eat their lunch.
tips of the day. if things didn't change, daily freshbread is arrives from their factory in the evening at about 4. get your breads by then =).

Sandakan Hotel Dim Sum

I guess everyone in Sandakan knows this place;
Located next to Wisma Sandakan in town~

Palm Garden (1st floor)

My favourite dim sum - Cheong Fen (not Chu Cheong Fen or Fen Cheong-one is another type of food & one is for scolding people so pleeeease don't get confused!)

The Char Siew portions are getting less and less over the years

Fried Lobak Kou

Too Oily

Wu Kok (Yam with Char Siew Stuffing)

Taste is ok but it is getting smaller every year

Siew Mai

Seaweed "Siew Mai"

Pai Guat

Yu Chi Gau (Shark's Fin) - I didn't mean to kill sharks so don't follow my footsteps, it's not really nice anyways ^^;;

Pei Dan Sau Yuk Chuk

I can't remember chewing any sau yuk tho

Char Siew Pau

Palm Garden - used to be good but now it only gets worse over the years
but i wonder why i still eat there..Anyone knows a better proper dim sum restaurant in Sandakan?

Penang Food Centre

Tried and tested due to popular demand..
Located in...Bandar Ramai Ramai (?-i stayed so long in sdk but still gets confused with Malay & Cantonese names of places -_-;;)

Penang Food Centre

Sap Chau Mee (Wet Fried Mee) with seafood - taste like normal but nice kind of normal

wooo~

Ikan Bakar - A must if you eat at this shop?...yes yes..besides you will be attracted to order it when you smell it from your seat

woo~ It's the dry type of Ikan Bakar, if it is wet i shall eat it with one big bowl of rice

My favourite...!!! Sotong Goreng..I love love lovethe curry powder they put in <33 onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzj91BiUaGOwx9WXJL9dfqn3IC7aShVhjKtAYZFsUR2rwzJwtOWT7mA525vW_ohm1QyG-KZWGoQ4WqrcY2EadYedzt1hNi8XdhVo9hoyyL0aIkmTkofT8RqUOqCABhGVLAsa272sxDhcmO/s1600-h/IMG_2377.jpg">
