Seoul Garden

Who would have thought that we have our own Korean Restaurant in Sandakan
It's quite hidden though..located next to the one and only standing cinema in Sandakan, same row with Hsiang Garden Restaurant/Hotel

^ Blurry picture..will try to take a better one next time x.x

As usual, koreans eat their food and rice with lots of side dishes
so no matter what dish you order you can still try their famous kimchi yay~

Clockwise: mini korean pancake, some sour pickled radish, bayam, kimchi, mini kimchi pancake, taugeh, ikan bilis, shrimps with long beans

Out of those 6 I really like both pancakes and the ikan bilis,

Kimchi 김치 - It's like the korean version of japanese wasabi- not the taste but in the sense that some people may not like it, but those who like it will love it..

It's definitely hot!

Mini kimchi pancake 김치전



One piece of an advice, these side dishes comes first so don't be greedy and eat ALL and get full before your main dishes come!



Fried korean noodles with vege and meat 잡채 - If you like sesame oil you will loove it



Korea pancake 파전 - very vege, it has carrot, chilli, spring onion, shrimps, etc~
If you didn't order it you can still try it as a side dish but the mini vers. is not as nice as this



HUGE...don't even attempt eating all unless you have 3-4 people (especially after eating all those side dishes x.x)



See...can't finish them


*EDITED with new ones*

Kimchi Pancake 김치전 - also as HUGE

If you can't finish this, dapao and eat it with instant noodles..yumm~


Marinated barbecued beef 불고기 - Usually you get to barbecue it yourself on the table but here they serve it readily barbecued for you..

I like it..it has that nice charcoal fragrant you experience while eating satay


Fried sotong... Not bad



And free watermelon~


Overall kinda worthy and VERY filling (the pancake is very very filling)
If you don't know what to order these few are what i would recommend, plus some other dishes that i will update next time

Come to think of it, korean food is very vege

Ps: the cook is a korean ^^

Syn Lok Bak Kut Teh

I've been too lazy and unmotivated to re-post this up but I saw the comment about bak kut teh so here I am TT

Just in case you don't know, Sandakan Bak Kut Teh is one unique Bak Kut Teh being pepper based instead of the normal unstimulating and no-omph chinese herb based Bak Kut Teh that can be found in any part of Malaysia......Personally, I prefer our Sandakan Bak Kut Teh - Siong Hei Si (please correct me if I got the location name wrong..I always get it confused with Nam Tung Si) WRONG! - It's in Nam Tung Si ^^;; thanks

Alternatively you may eat at the Mile 4 Indah if you stay nearer to there

This....is a MUST to eat Bak Kut Teh (at least for me!)

Spinach

Pork Mix - Some of you may not like it but it's recommended ^^ , you'll never know unless you try..be adventurous!

Forgot the name TT

Pork Balls/ Ju Yuk Yuen - RECOMMENDED

Pork Ribs

-EMQ-

Town Pasar Duck (Siu Ap)

Keluar-tajuk note: Finally Sandakan can enjoy internet connection again after days. Telecom can now increase their number of fire extinguishers just in case things happen again ^^;;

Kinda famous in Sandakan and located just opposite of the Pasar Za Yuk Tai Fun stall
(perfect for 2nd round of yumcha right after the Za Yuk Tai Fun if you are..ganas)

They say that good things finish really fast;- This stall don't even need to work at 11am onwards because they ran out of stuff to sell ...same goes to any other famous pasar food

Siu Ap Kon Lo Mee

Siu Yuk, Siu Ap Kon Lo Mee

The Siu Ap is really worth trying..Can't believe I've been eating this since I was young

G-Burger

Located in Mile 4 Outside of Indah Jaya Happy Mart lies the famous non halal PORK burger

They have Original, Cheese, Satay, Double Decker, etc....

Cheese burger, tho you can't really see the cheese, it was under the meat

Worth trying i guess, how often do you come across pork (CHU)G-burger sold openly in Malaysia!?

The only problem is that we didn't have a chair to sit down and enjoy this TT

Sandakan Curry House

Located in Mile 4 Indah..just...drive around and find it yourself ^^;;

Teh Tarik Ping..I like my ping, it was a HOT day

Roti Canai

Or if you want an extra kick or aroma and fat get Roti Planta!

Opt for Roti Pisang if you want something sweet

This is really nice~~

Roti Tisu..I love the Tisu here the best of ALLLLL places, it's crunchy and you can eat it like a snack

I can only eat this much Roti but there are ALOT of Roti types available too

Besides Roti, their other dishes are also delicious

Something you can eat with your Roti - Curry Fish

You may even choose any curry displayed on the ..display thingy (idk what you call it!)

Nasi Goreng Kampung (This is the not-so-hot version I requested)

Raisin Rice with Curry Chicken and Tepe(?not too sure about the name) Tempeh

A closer look at the Tempeh (compressed and fermented soy beans)>>thanks to chongerin for the info!

^ These are actually ordered from the display thingy I was talking about too

-EMQ-

Sim Sim Pei Dan Gau

Another MUST eat in Sandakan..if anyone ask you what is famous in Sandakan just tell him/her that this is one of those few famous food..

Located (obviously) in Sim Sim 7th bridge(?)...not too sure or was it 8th ^^;;
But don't get lost because it is not really an obvious restaurant, it's like a house..if you know how to read chinese then that will not be a problem!

^Memorize this sign board just in case you are afraid of getting lost


Just in case you may not like it you can order mixed bowl and try

If you think you will like it you can order a normal Pei Dan Gau Mee with only 2 pieces of Gau

If you REALLY like it you can just order only them XD

99% of them are wrapped up perfectly, with the Pei Dan spanning the whole length of the Gau

^Just like this..love it!


An inside look at the Gau..no matter how many bites you take you can still see the Pei Dan

It's so famous that I even saw it on the menu in a shop in City Mall, Kota Kinabalu..

Franchise? Cetak Rompak?! IDK!!someone please try it and let me know!
But it sure is a little more expensive compared to Sandakan

Ps; Pei Dan=Century Egg
Pss; You can pre-order them uncooked and export it ;D

Ang Ban Guan

Located along Sim Sim Highway, along the sea lies a shop so insignificant that you prolly won't take much notice while driving......or maybe i was being too blind myself to notice it all along TT

Crab meat fried rice, not too bad

Lettuce

"Jiu Pai" Tofu

To be honest i don't really fancy it, it only has carrots.....i think

Custard Prawn - LITERALLY custard-ish, sweet-ish,
really taste like those custard puff custards if you know what i mean..I don't fancy this type of custard prawn either but maybe you do?hehe..just give it a try TT

Steamed Fish - To be honest it was really salty TT..either they accidentally threw a whole bottle of kicap into it or..it was meant to be this salty

...so salty that his pair of eyes even popped out *o*


But you can always ignore the sauce and just eat the meat, the meat is not salty! ^^;

And finally, the best dish that saved the whole meal - Sa Bak

I've heard people who like this restaurant and people who don't so why don't you become your own judge and try it yourself~ ^^
