Famous food in Sabah!!

Roti kahwin :))

Available during: Whole day

Incredibly soft and fresh white bread that is served with slices of cold butter and kaya (coconut and egg). The bread, cold butter and kaya melts with every bite. You can’t get enough of these.

One of the legends in Kota Kinabalu – the restaurant revolutionised the whole street into a “food street”. Stalls and restaurants were setup in order to cater to the demands of the attracted crowds.

Must try: Teh C Ping. The awesomest milk tea in Kota Kinabalu.

Beef Brisket Noodles :))

Available during: Breakfast and lunch

Also known as “Ngiu Chap” by the locals. The beef noodles consists of noodles, beef and broth, also cilantros for extra tang.

The quality of beef noodles is mainly determined by tenderness of the beef and also the richness of the beef broth. If both are in high quality, you’ll get a perfect bowl of beefy noodles soup that makes you crave all day!

Beaufort Noodles :))

Available during: Lunch and dinner.

Dishes here originate from Beaufort. The noodles is prepared with sliced pork, fresh vegetables and yellow noodles. The gravy… holy… no need further explanation. You go try.

From what I know, the dishes are prepared with pork lard instead of vegetable oil, that makes the taste freaking amazing – one bowl of noodles is never enough.

Also try their stir-fried vegetable and cha-sao omelette.

Tuaran Noodles :))

Available during: Breakfast and lunch

The noodles itself is the star of this dish. Extra eggs were added into the flour, thus the yellowish hue and fragrance that comes with the noodles. Originates from a district near Kota Kinabalu, called Tuaran. Thus the name of the noodles.

Usually this dish is prepared stir-fried with even more eggs, also char siew and vegetables are added to give the dish more texture.

You can only find this dish here in Kota Kinabalu, local specialty! A must try for noodles lover.

Fish Paste Noodles :))

Available during: Breakfast and lunch.

Homemade noodles that made its way into the local food show. The noodles is made with bread flour and eggs, which gives its the bouncy and chewy texture.

Special noodles alone would not stand out among competitors, the choice of dish that comes with the noodles plays a major part too. You can choose between chicken, beef, fish slices or smooth fish paste.

Crowds usually order “fish slice and fish paste combined”

Also try the home-made chili.

Lets try all of this when you come to Sabah!! Dont forget ^^
