What I eat in Kota Kinabalu

-
Back to uni life, I crave for hometown food again.

Today I'm gonna do some summary on what I ate in KK during my 1 week ++ stay for CNY.  Of course I'm not gonna post every meal that I had, but just some that I think they're MUST-EAT. The arrangement is random.

1. Fish Noodles @  Kedai Kopi How Kee
This place is one of my family's favourite it's within a stone's throw from my house and I personally think they pretty much serve the best tomato fish mee in KK. The shop is always full and you can see people standing outside to wait for seats no matter it's morning or afternoon. 
Generous amount of ingredients
The soup is tomato base and it's really delicious without the fishy taste. There're a variety of ingredients which you can choose from. I once ordered without specifying that I want a small one then they got me a normal bowl which was too much for me hahaha.

2. Kedai Kopi Lotus
This was actually my first time here. I searched online and knew that there're quite many stalls here. I ordered pork satay, fried dumplings, hokkien mee and grilled chicken.
Pork Satay
Grilled Chicken
Fried dumplings
Hokkien mee
These are for 2 :o

3. Dim Sum @ Foo Phing Dim Sum
We went here after touching down from Sandakan. Here's my Sandakan Trip, feel free to read it. It was so crowded because it's late morning. I didn't take much photos here because we're very hungry, can't wait to eat the dimsum.
Only managed to snap a pic of 'har gao'
4. Fish head noodles @ Tian Tian Fish Head Noodles, 6th floor Wisma Merdeka
This is also one of my favourite spot for fish noodles. I usually won't order fish head because it takes time to eat. You can choose from 3 types of soup (milky, salted vegetables and bitter gourd) and you can also customize the ingredients that you want (fish slice, fish ball, fried fish head, fish skin, beancurd sheet, fish cake, 'yu fu', fish maw, fried fish maw and also Thai style fish maw)
Milky soup
5. Ngiu Chap @ Kah Hiong Ngiu Chap
Ngiu Chap is definitely a must-eat in KK and here's one of the best place for a bowl of heart warming ngiu chap. The soup was very rich and aromatic and I always can't help but finish the soup to the bottom. The meat was tender and go extremely well with the chili paste they have. It's super spicy so be careful when you're dipping your meat with the chili paste. It can cause tears and runny nose hahaha. They are selling the chili paste as well but it tasted a lil bit different from what they serve.

I couldn't find the pic of my bowl of ngiu chap :/ I remember I did take a pic of it.

There're many more good food around KK, like seafood @ Welcome Seafood Restarant, Sang nyuk mian etc but I didn't have the chance to eat them all in 1 week ++. Anyway, despite having many good food, home-cooked meal is still the best for me.
Ermented red beancurd fried pork (mom's signature dish) , braised duck, fried ladyfinger with sambal, sea cucumber and mushroom, yam stewed with pork belly

Lollipop Cafe

3 more days to my final exam!! Can't wait to get this over so I can go back to hometown to eat good foooood. Elaine, Jowen, and many other of my secondary school classmates had their trip to Kundasang yesterday, but I'm stuck here facing books. How I wish I could be there with them, the last time 4 of us actually meet was during March last year, it's been more than a year. But I did meet them separately in KL and KK, just that 4 of us didn't meet together. Okay back to the main topic. I wanna share about my breakfast at Lollipop Cafe yesterday with Joshua. This was our first date since the day we're official, a breakfast date. Not really a date, just that I begged him to bring me out for breakfast yeah that's it. It's located near  Overstepped Cafe  which was quite far away from my campus, near the Sungai Petani selatan toll exit. When we arrived it's around 7am so there're many seats. Around 8am people started coming and most of them order...

Wan Roti Canai Beratur

While having dinner with Xin Hui, Pei Rong, Shumin, Joshua and Jun last night, Jun decided to go home to take his nametag so we had an impromptu trip to Alor Setar. We wanted to eat roti tampal there since we didn't manage to try it on Monday before coming back to Aimst from Langkawi. Seriously all the roti tasted so nice, we ordered roti pisang, roti kaya, roti planta and 3 roti tampal. It's my first time trying roti tampal. Roti tampal is basically a roti with a fried soft boiled egg on top of it. What makes it differ from roti telur is that the egg wasn't cracked into the dough but instead it's cracked directly onto the pan and it's brought to half raw. According to Jun, this stall is quite repute in this area. We actually qued for about 15 mins to get our order placed. He said that time was not even the peak hour and it was the time when the least people come to eat. Overall it was a satisfying supper for me. Although the roti didn't look appealing t...

Overstepped Cafe

After hours of non-stop writing, finally I've done my Biology lab report and have some time to blog about the cafe I went with my friend (Joshua) yesterday. What's better than having a friend to ask you out when you're craving for good food? Haha so yesterday I went to Overstepped Cafe which is located quite far away from my campus, about 15km away. This cafe is located near the toll station but I can tell this cafe has its reputation here despite its not-strategic-location which is away from town. Why? Because the moment we got into the cafe, what welcomed us was the noise of people chit chatting. For a second I thought I was in a kopitiam rather than a cafe because it was really noisy inside. It was around 2.30pm when we reached but many tables were occupied even though it's not lunch hour. Fortunately, we managed to be seated at a table for 2. I ordered Fat Elvis , which is beef burger with grilled banana with the spread of peanut butter. For drinks, I got mysel...
