New Fong Fong

This is my first time eating here, but i heard that it is famous for 'loh mee'

Located in Indah


"Loh Mee' is a kind of mee with a thick gooey soup base with egg that is cracked into the soup and quickly stirred so that the egg appear in fine small smooth flakes


Looks like this shop uses thick mee to make this dish, and they put alot of vinegar..if you like vinegar you will like it!

Chung Ming Hing

BEST EGG TART IN TOWN (also better than all kk egg tarts i think)...
^That says it all

Located in Sandakan Town opposite the Shell Petrol Station and in the same row as Lumen Bookstore..


I was too late (11am) so there was only 3 egg tarts left and NO NGAU SI DUI(UFO)!


So what do it do, of course i bought all the egg tarts available..i actually wanted 6 of them and 10 Ngau Si Duis uwu..
Also bought a few Tau Sa Peng/Black Bean Paste Biscuit to compensate my Ngau Si Duis


The eggs tart is famous for it's crunchy thin layer of pastry and a soft & smooth not-too-sweet filling

Compared to other eggs tarts i've eaten, the other egg tarts have THICK pastry base and tricked us into believing that the filling is thick!

Tau Sa Peng (I call it Cantonese Dorayaki - Doraemon's favourite haha)



PS; will edit once i get my Ngau Si Duis

Dai Si Po Lo/Nangka

You may have eaten or seen this before but have you seen the process of managing it???

This is...HUGE..and HEAVY..i cant lift it with only one hand


Need a giant parang to cut it open like this..


And then cut it again like this..


Then remove the middle part which is now FULL of really really sticky substances

Trust me it's more sticky than melted cheese or glue..Traditionally some people use it to stick and trap mice (think about what else you can trap with it hehe - cockroaches, ants, flies, mosquitos wahaa imagination gone wild)

Then oil is used to wipe away all those sticky substances

You might also want to use oil to wash your hands because it's SO STICKY

And then you peel the edible part out one by one


Remove the whiter layer and remove the seed

Ps; seeds can be boiled and eaten or alternatively fried

And there you go!

(This is only half of the giant fruit)

edit - this is NOT a cempedak eventhough they are from the same family

Pancake/Gap Peng

You dont need to go too far to get this if you are having your meal/snack at Pasar Kim Fung because this stall is IN Pasar Kim Fung..just need to venture inside to find it

RM0.80 one piece


It's filled with peanut, butter and sugar...for those peanut lover like me u will surely love it esp when it is fresh & hot from the 'kiap' machine


Eat while hot

Zaman Manis/Tong Chiu

To eat dessert/herbal tea/sweets..must try Tong Chiu

Tong Chiu in Indah (Many shops are also located in Indah)


They have ALOT of dessert (should i call it dessert?it's manisan/tong sui)
tong sui => direct translation to 'sugar water'. the chinese for desserts.


Can even open the fridge yourself and grab a few then pay for it. and since they come in disposable plastic containers, u can just take them home straight. of course after paying for them. plastic spoons are available too =)


They serve hot or cold tong sui but i prefer them cold wahaha (to avoid heat stroke/jung shuu again haha)

These are my regular tong sui - except the orangy one..first time trying but not too bad tho..

^From bottom to top - Black Sesame/Hak Ji Ma Wu, Peanut/Fa Sang Wu, Pumpkin/Gam Gua ??? (I am TERRIBLE at translating, we'll wait for agent orange to do the job haha)

A closer look at Black Sesame Wu


It's at average RM2.50 a small bowl for these Wu-s

orange's addition
dessert shop!! haha.. personal favourite from this shop goes to ==> fu zhuk tong sui
made up of 'fu zhuk'(bean curd sheets), barly seeds and lotus seed(pak goh) boil till soft. Is watery (not paste like) and has the 'cooling' effect effect as well. served cold. sweet in taste quite healthy too. btw.. the word 'wu' literally means 'paste' so... for the 3 desserts will be... black sessame 'paste', peanut 'paste' and pumkin 'paste'. despite the name 'paste' the texture is creamy and soft. other recomendations honeydew sago (sai mei lou)
