Hakka Restaurant

Idk..I call it the Indah Hakka restaurant so I never bothered to notice the correct name of the shop hehe, it's understandable rightttt...

Anyways it's located in Mile 4 Indah right beside Jesselton Coffee

Since I myself am have very shallow knowledge of Hakka food (besides Cao Yuk) I didn't really know what to order, and which of them are really Hakka food or normal Canton food..

Cheese Fried Wantan - Not exactly Hakka food but.....
I taste the cheese strongly but I cant see it?

And no the cheese taste didn't come from the mayo dipping! - tried and tested


Hakka Fried Tai Fun (This I am sure is Hakka food ;))

It's like a salted vege+tomato+pineapple-fied version (LOL I am making my own adjectives) of Wet Fried Tai Fun..in short- a little more sour but this is kinda tasteless at that time so had to just add a little bit of soy sauce


Black Pepper Fried Meehoon

Not exactly Hakka food but...yea...^^;;

Fail! Ok I will revisit this restaurant again I promise............but next year ;P

Cafeteria Guan Huat

Used to be a stall at Town Market (Pasar) 2nd floor but they've moved to a new location. It is at mile 5, Taman Tshun Ngen entrance. Just next to Annie's Baking Studio, opposite the petrol station, in front of the huge..mansion..? (You will get the idea when you reached there)

I think they are famous with their ngau lam tai fun? They offer zha yuk also. I like their kon lou ngau lam zha yuk mee hoon. The sauce is somehow special? I just like it. Kinda bias here.

Kon Lou Ngau Lam Mee Hoon

Their mee hoon is not like those very thin mee hoon usually eaten? It's thicker.

Can someone tell me what is this thing in english? I think it's ngau pak yip in cantonese tho.

Zha Yuk

I like their sauce for the mee. I know they use star anise for it. Ok la, in general I like this kon lou ngau lam zha yuk . I think this shop do offer some other items. Not sure =p

Nam Chuan Chicken Rice

Been too long since I updated ^^;;

It's located at the far corner of town on the first row of shops opposite the road from Santos Supermarket (thanks Alice for the name of the shop ;))

The place is quite famous so you might not be able to eat it after 12-1pm and you might also need to 'dap toi' (share table) with someone else..


Yellow rice



Chicken



Fish (because Sandakan loves fish)


Good news, there is a branch shop in Mile 4..location wise; a little hard to explain but it is somewhere along the double-shop-row after Tai Chung..i think TT
Apparently it's a completely different shop with similar names ><

Tanah Merah (Sek Chui) Pasar Za Yuk Dai Fun

Seems like my Za Yuk Dai Fun little adventure is not over....yet

In contrary to the Dai Fun in Town Market..this one is..slim but thick......(you get my point right? ^^;)

Kon Lo Za Yuk Dai Fun - Oily but nice...(unhealthy stuff are always nice so don't complain ;P)



Soup Za Yuk Dai Fun - The soup is not bad


Like what everyone said it finishes quite early, not available for lunch or brunch..so wake up early~

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
