Novelty Cream Tarts

Just a short post =p

Various topping of cream tarts (?)

Tea time? Or just itching for something that is bite-sized and taste nice (?) Gotta try these cute bite-size cream tarts (?) from Novelty. Not sure if all branches have it or not. I kinda got these from the Mile 4 branch. For those who do not know where does this branch located, it is just at the other side of Tai Chung Supermarket. The mile 4 market is just in front of it, just across the road.

Basically I've forgotten the name of the pastry here, just assume it's called as cream tart @@ (to be updated with the correct name) Not everybody like cream, but this is kinda different from the normal creams you've tried out there. It's not buttercream for sure. Give it a try =P

Kedai Kopi Mee Ngar

Breakfast anyone?

Half-boiled eggs with soya sauce and pepper

There are too many shops with this name in Sandakan, this shop is located in town. In front of the town field, in between D'image and another branch of Kedai RM2, which formerly is Rex Cinema. Not detailed enough about the location? Since the town area is often a confusion for most people. If you are driving all the way down from Jalan Utara, then follow the main road all the way down until you reach the traffic lights in front of the 'fountain'. It's just at the row in front of you then. More direction needed? Just ask us then =p

Toast with kaya and butter

The typical toast that you can find in Sandakan I guess. Some might not be familliar with this 'kind' of toast, as most of the place offer toasts which the bread is so thick. This is a thin slice of toast. It's not stingy, it's the default size of the original pre-prepared bread. I prefer this way because the bread will be crispy and crunchy as it is thinner. Personal perference here.


Mix everything up - and you get a hearty (?) meal minus the unsightly image of it =p


Dip the crispy toast together. Then you'll be having a nice breakfast altogether. Yes,a very simple meal that you can do it at home. But the kaya used in this shop is homemade. Now that's a lil' different.. no?

Imperial Bayview Restaurant (Dim Sum)

Located in town smacked right above the aromatic fish market, is the Halal Dim Sum restaurant..Halal by means, no pork-ish dim sum..just chicken and lots of fresh prawns as compensation..

Fish Market, here you can see all the behind-the-scene work while you eat



And also the beautiful sea(?) but no worries, there is no fishy smell in the restaurant itself


THE Dim Sum - Siew Mai

Just chicken and prawn but it's fine


Steamed Seafood Dumpling



Har Gao

The prawns..indeed very fresh tho


Steamed Spinach Dumpling

This is nice too, at least it is not all prawns

But at this point I am already sick of all the prawns ^^;;


Stir Fried Carrot Cake

Not too bad for restaurant's standard but still far away from the one in Mile4 Market


Chicken 'Char Siew' Cheong Fen

The lady asked what kind of filling do I want, honestly I nearly blurted out Char Siew ^^;;
And honestly without pork char siew this is just wrong to me..Didn't like this at all..


Chicken Ham Sui Kok

Not a big fan of it


Deep Fried Prawn Dumpling

This I like..


Chicken Wu Kok

This is also very wrong without Char Siew

And look at all of them, without pork they all just look and taste pale..
The only-prawn dishes are not bad tho, but I can get sick of prawns pretty fast so....
Sigh~

I'd rather go Sandakan Hotel in this case
