Siang Siang Restaurant

Located next to Yu Yuan Secondary School (Mile 4)
Famous for? .....Their bread (?)

Lemon Ping -only available in Sabah (?)

Lemon Teh Ping..so much lemon today ^^;;

They have lots of bread, char siew bread, some other bread..
This is Luncheon Meat plus Egg Bread

^ But....the Luncheon meat only appears at the last 3 bites ;_;
The bread is nice tho~

Ngau Chap Mee

It's really rich in yummy Intestines (?)...I have NO idea what is it called but for you all science students, it has lots of villi and microvilli..The beef tendon MELTS in your mouth woo~ (tho i actually prefer it to be a little more chewable)
and too bad there are no beef ball otherwise there will be one big happy beefy family in that bowl

Anddd~ it comes in a kon lou version too..the mee not the beef!

Anddd~ if you are lucky you may find an Ikea item in your bowl of Ngau Chap

LOL don't you they look like long lost brothers?

We're (I'm) Back

I was very lazy...VERY lazy the past few days because it was so hot and humid, i can faint if i stand under the sun for 3mins..urgh..and the wonderful streamyx is not helping me cure my laziness at all~

Anyways i wasn't lazy to the max..i really did my research on sandakan food these few days (in another words-eating) but this time i have to watch my weight because......just because ;_;

BUT..allow me to continue being lazy because i will go off topic for a while just to write about something i came across today because i am a proud Sandakan-ian

I'm sure some of you know who this is.. Someone told me about Sandakan being blogged about so i was REALLY curious..

I've seen the comments and they aren't really that good..some are being defensive some are being mean towards the defensive people and some are being...plain mean..
(freedom of speech is interesting)
As for me, I was LOL-ing because of the things he said that are SO sandakan and are only found in sandakan..

Environment friendly aircon-less airport, only in Sandakan



Again, aircon-less airport that looks like an open church, only in Sandakan


Small town with more than 10 interesting roundabouts, only in Sandakan
(FYI, Mr. Croc is pointing towards the crocodile farm)



1970s building stronger and more tahan lasak than any other buildings, only in Sandakan

And no~ we are not stuck in the 70s, we're just being conservative towards all the historical buildings (LOL, excuses)... In fact one of my friend stays in a 70s building

But there are still 17843920125 things that he hasn't found out about Sandakan yet but i don't really blame him, you have to stay here to find out...
It's not surprising anymore that people think Sandakan is still using boat to go to papan school and have KFCs on top of trees but some tend to expect too much from Sandakan especially since KK has gone through major modernization these few years but tbh Sandakan is still very Sandakan and i like how it doesn't change that much;
1. I like how i don't need to worry about traffic jam that much
2. I like how i don't need to worry about numerous motorbikes when driving
3. I like how i can fill my stomach eventhough I forgot to bring wallet and only have rm5
4. I like how i can go pluck coconut or avocados and drink/eat it fresh myself
5. I like how Sandakan has more Oxygen than KL, the air is so much easier to breathe in
6. I like how i can speak pure Cantonese here without all the "lui" and "kok"
7. I like how MPS can be renamed as MahathirPungutSampah :x
8. I like how only we use "BAH"
9. I like how only we call Ninja King Ninja King instead of Land Cruiser(?)
10. I like how Sandakan has Lemon Ping, Best rm1.50 TehC Ping, Best rm2.50 Pearl Tea
11. I like how we can bump into 5 friends and relatives in a day out
12. I like how news can travel SO FAST in Sandakan because everyone knows everyone
13. I like how all the pendatang asing efficiently build 10 rumah papans a day even after massive evacuation in BDC
14. I like how all our taxes and government profits are used for development in Semenanjung
15. I like how i can get bitten by 7 aedes mosquitos a day and not get denggi
16. I like how Sandakan always have blackouts and have no water

In conclusion, I always find it amusing that people think Sandakan still ride boats but i don't really care if they know about Sandakan or not because i only care about how i can still enjoy my 'ulu' Sandakan.. a~

Sandakan-ians who are not proud of their own hometown are worse than other people who doesn't know Sandakan

To wrap up this post ...

LOL..ilu sandakanians <33333
^and actually....this is the main point of this post ^^;;

Mei Ngar (Mile 4)

Everyone in Sandakan knows that there are so many Mei Ngar in Sandakan (Even i got confused sometimes which is which)

THIS Mei Ngar is the one in Mile 4 Bandar Kim Fung
Rumored to have really delicious Har Mee aka Prawn Mee so i went on and try it

HAR MEE (omg i so so so miss it now! *drools*)

It is nice, love the eggs on top (i love eggs)..
Sya Ting Fong's Har Mee left a greater impression on me tho (maybe because i ate there a few times and only once here) but nevertheless both are good Har Mee..


For those who doesnt like Har Mee,
you can opt for others like Ham Choi Mee (Salted Vege Mee)

Not bad also if i am not mistaken..Only tasted 1 or 2 bites so cant really remember the taste ^^;;
But my friend liked it so i guess it is nice!

Overall, not a shop that i will only want to eat and try once but i will come back again (for their Har Mee of course hehe)

Sya Ting Fong #2

This is the continuation post about Sya Ting Fong which is located further down Town in Bandar Ramai Ramai..(Please refer to old posts about Sya Ting Fong)

This is one of the shops that you will want to go there again and again after eating there the first time. The food is so far amazing and not so expensive (tho it is a little far)

Kon Lou Mee with variety of stuff you can choose yourself to be added into the soup
Let's see here we have Tou Fu Pok, Pork, Fried Pork Skin with Fishball etc etc

If you are big fan of kon lou mee i suggest you to eat
the kon lou mee in Kedai Kopi Istimewa which is much nicer in texture and taste eventho the serving is not as generous as this hehe

Har Mee (Prawn Mee) however is delicious..and it is one of the main attractions in this shop

As you can see, this Har Mee is not as oily as the rest of the Har Mee i have tried elsewhere
but i havent eaten Har Mee from some of the well known shops so i still cant comment if this is the best Har Mee in Sandakan BUT...i really like this Har Mee, and it shall become my 'usual dish' whenever i come and eat here XDDDD

Dang, i am addicted to Har Mee now...Look at the prawns..TT

Kedai Kopi Shamrock

Located in Indah Mile 4
Kinda easy to find but kinda easy to pass it without noticing it too~

Tho i will have to say that their drinks are a litttttle different from most shops

Guess what is this....Cane water (Air Tebu)

Apparently they added some extra herbal stuff so the colour is a bit different from what you see in normal Air Tebu ...i still prefer the original Air Tebu but hey it's something new!

Kit Chai Ping

Honestly i was shocked to see this colour because...just because!
It's not the normal Kit Chai Ping i used to drink..and for a second i thought i ordered the wrong thing...and it's sour..not my favourite..hmm..maybe for sour loving people


Ngau Lam Mihun...

Minced Meat Mee Soup

Try the food, drinks...beware of what you order ;)
Tho the food itself didnt really leave a deep impression on me, and there are not much choices of food for you to try ...

Jesselton Coffee

Another one of the 'younger' cafes in Mile 4 Indah

The interior ...is kinda nice especially the sofas

With many choices of cakes

The hot beverages (tea) are usual...

Ice blended drinks

(I see some discrimination towards ice blended here..look at the difference in the cup design!)

I-forgotten-what-is-this drink

Sigh~ They don't even serve my favorite Vanilla Ice Blended Drinks
(At least not when i was there)

O CAKES

Chocolate Banana Cake - I see similarities with the Choco Banana Cake in Equator..
Same supplier i guess?

Cheesy Cheese Cake that i don't fancy because it's sweet and a little sour on top
but my other friend likes it a lot
So up to who you want to believe (Trust me people!not her!)

Moist Chocolate Cake...Oklarr~Didn't really leave me any deep impression

After all these cafe hopping i think at the end of the day i will still go back to the old equator :P
Equator does have more choices of drinks!

Jia Xiang

Located right behind Kedai Kopi Istimewa in Mile 4

Quite a number of people come here and eat considering it is being hidden by Kedai Kopi Istimewa and all..so it must be quite good??haha

And just because this blogger here loves to eat kon lou mee.....XD

Picture is actually taken by someone else and i didn't get to try it but it does LOOK pretty good
