Tuaran Mee Restaurant is a must-visit for noodle enthusiasts. This iconic dish hails from Tuaran, known for its simple yet intricate preparation involving delicate kneading to achieve the signature springy texture and eggy flavor. Seng Hing Coffee Shop in KK is a popular spot where the dish is fried and adorned with egg roll slices, char siew, or seafood and green vegetables.
First time trying Tuaran Mee! Was brought here by our friend who is local! What an experience! The homemade noodles are unique and have good subtle flavor but explodes once you add the homemade hot sauce! We tried both the normal version and the one with wine. Both are unique and delicious in their own way! A great way to start the day!

Worth the drive from KK! Authentic Tuaran noodles with crispy texture and tasty sweet dried meat. Delicious food + fast service 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Steffie P — Google review
Small shop. Tuaran noodles is their signature but somehow, the noodles and the way it cooks doesn’t seem to be like tuaran noodles. One of the signature is the tuaran noodles yellow wine. For that, the yellow wine tastes so strong. It’s either you like it or dislike it. I prefer the original Tuaran noodles.
FoodiesTravel B — Google review
Food is very good! In my opinion, this is the best spot for Tuaran mee. And to my knowledge, I don’t know anywhere else in KK which offers lihing (local rice wine) Tuaran mee. I love their Tuaran mee texture, flavourful sang nyuk. The lihing was extra strong today! And I always top it off with a sunny side up. The gooey egg yolk just elevates the whole dish 🤤 The portion is huge! Definitely enough for two ladies. The only downside is the environment. It’s an old kopitiam, which gives it a nice vintage, traditional vibe but it’s very very hot 🥵 the cleanliness can also be improved. The attitude of the waitress and the boss is alright. Not very friendly but not rude either. I still go there quite often, and it’s my husband’s favourite whenever he comes to KK. We love the food so much that we’re willing see pass the hot environment 😅 Still highly recommended, especially to tourists 👍🏻 it’s absolutely worth a try!

Ordered Tuaran mee ayam lihing. I didn't expect it was gonna be the almost "basah" type, but it wasn't a problem. The lihing was quite strong, abit surprised, but I wanted it strong anyways. Chicken was roasted, tasted good until I forgot to cicah my lada. Cravings satisfied! There's also one shop that does tuaran mee lihing at delima, but if I'm not mistaken they put lihing in the fish soup instead on the noodle (serve no pork).

Chinese noodle restaurant
Breakfast restaurant
Sinsuran Sang Nyuk Mee, also known as Sang Nyuk Mian, is a famous dish in Sabah, particularly in Kota Kinabalu. Originating from Tawau, this pork noodle features thinly sliced pork served on top of noodles with a flavorful pork broth. It is also available with soup or dry stir noodles. The dish offers various protein options such as meatball, intestines, and liver.
Another good sang nyuk mee establishment in Lintas plaza area. You know you are good when you can still survive and thrive here with the tough competition. The noodle is good and comforting old style taste. The pork slice tender and sweet. The soup fragrant with a salty tinge. You cannot go wrong with either dry or the soup version.
SY T — Google review
Went for both soup and dry + the special that includes everything. Very porky bowl of soup with comforting salty taste (I love salty). The fried onions are great, can be better if they provide fried garlic, small red chilli. Also, would suggest to provide some vegetables for different textures. Pork slices are well marinated with perfect thinness. The kidney might have been a bit too 'porky' for personal liking. Overall it is a standard good bowl of pork soup and noodles. Nothing really special, nonetheless a day to day type of food.
Fatdieme — Google review
Sinsuran Sang Nyuk Mee delivers that nostalgic comfort you can’t quite explain — it may not be the most extraordinary bowl out there, but it hits the spot in a familiar, satisfying way. The pork slices are impressively soft and tender, soaking up the subtle yet hearty broth beautifully. The dark soy noodles are straightforward and flavorful, pairing well with the soup for a balanced bite. It's one of those meals you occasionally crave not because it's the best, but because it reminds you of home or simpler times. A comforting go-to when you just want something that feels familiar and satisfying.
Xelcius — Google review
It was pretty good overall. I’m not from Kota Kinabalu, so I didn’t know what to expect, but I found their standards quite passable. The food was decent, and service was okay—nothing outstanding, but nothing disappointing either. It’s a solid choice if you’re in the area and looking for a reliable meal.”
SY L — Google review
There's 2 ways to order this. The soupy version where everything is in it or the semi deconstructed version where you get the dry mee individually and the soup separated in another bowl. I suggest you get the deconstructed version where you can get 2 distinct different taste for the price of one. The dry noodles are tasty, delicious salty oily gravy and smells great. It looks plain but looks can be deceiving. Good enough to be eaten alone to be honest. The soup is yummy. Comes freshly cooked (that's why there's a little wait but worth it) and steaming hot. Contains the famous pork slices, liver, intestine, meatball with self extra ordered kidney. That there's absolutely no offal smell is testament to the incredible preparation done to it before cooked and served to you. The tender pork slices are incredible and that itself is reason to try this dish. Tender, soft and fresh, the meat near literally melts in your mouth with minimal chewing needed. Superb and worth the recommendation to come here. In short, try not to miss this if you are in the area.

Is my first time have it , is delicious and taste perfect. Definitely will recommend friends. The only Sabah have Sang Nyuk Mee .
Christina S — Google review
Always my go to place for sang nyuk men when i work in KK. Personally i feel this is the best among all sang nyuk men in KK. Reference for West malaysian chinese taste I prefer the soup (dried noodle is too sweet and greasy for me). I dont recommend the kuey teow Can request for more fried onion with lard Soup is hot and tasty (salty for some maybe) Add a touch of white pepper in the soup can enchance the taste It is constantly boiling under charcoal fire Chilli sauce is just great to complement the noodle. Parking can be difficult during lunch hours

Yee Fung Laksa is a renowned restaurant in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, known for its delicious laksa and beef noodle soup. The beef broth served with flat noodles, beef slices, tripe, stomach, tendon, and more has a smooth and clear texture with a strong beefy flavor. While the laksa is not very spicy compared to typical Southeast Asian dishes, it offers a unique taste and consistency. The restaurant provides quick service in an open and airy setting.
The Laksa king is actually very nice! Huge servings and very reasonable price. There is a very long queue but the staff are very organized and very hospitable so there is no chaos in the store. The staff are super friendly and the food is very good. Definitely a 5/5 and would highly recommended specially their Laksa King!

Well organised systematic Cafe with great food and even better Kaya! Best kaya i have ever tasted. Smoky and good flavour of caramelised brown sugar.
Joan L — Google review
My family and I really enjoyed the laksa. It was mildly spicy and flavourful. The broth was thick and rich and absolutely tickled our palates. We also ordered kaya toast and it must be one of the tastiest ones I’ve had. However, the ngau chap noodles was somewhat disappointing and tasted watered-down. It unfortunately brought down the dining experience at Yee Fung Laksa a few notches. Nonetheless, we had an enjoyable time and would highly recommend this place to anyone who’s in Sabah for a visit.
Candice C — Google review
Local specialty laksa. (And to be clear, the laksa is not the same as what you get in Singapore or Penang). The version here has a distinct curry flavor and deeper umami. Lines may be long but very efficient. There is a regular serving and "King" serving size, with the latter having shell on large prawns (vs smaller prawns). Fresh and flavorful, but you decide if you want to peel by hand! The chili sauce on the side is very nice too. Wash it all down with a iced preserved lemon or plum drink.

One of the best noodle always here if visited this place, plus their price is reasonable too. Food is consider good as well. Just that sometime there is long line of people waiting for table, but can see they are very good in organizing it included advance order and very quick serve your food.

Came here to try their laksa and it didnt disappoint! Though its not very hot and noodle portion is abit small. Their fish ball was OK but the dry noodles was cooked too long as its soft and mushy. Place is quite packed with people so you might need to queue depending on the time you visit. Staffs here are very friendly and you will need to order at the counter.
Chen — Google review
The laksa soup was okay, but I was a bit disappointed with the prawns. I ordered the larger prawns, but unfortunately, they weren’t fresh. I was expecting fresher seafood in Sabah! The beverage was good though…sorry, I forgot the name! Hahahha
Tracy A — Google review
Came here because of the high ratings. Came here for breakfast. Super crowded. The laksa is acceptable but not the best. Felt like the soup is quite diluted. Not flavourful. Fishball is great. Overwhelmed by the extremely efficient and fast service. Shop has AC but due to the hot weather it feels like no AC. So hot that we had to leave immediately after as it’s too humid.

Seng Hing Coffee Shop is a must-visit culinary gem that promises an unforgettable dining experience. Renowned for its tantalizing vermilion laksa and the beloved mee tuaran, this eatery showcases the vibrant flavors of Chinese cuisine, enhanced by the artistry of wok cooking and local ingredients like Chinese red wine. After settling into the colorful Hotel Capital, I made my way to Seng Hing to indulge in their signature dish: Tuaran Mee.
Tried Seng Hing Coffee Shop and really enjoyed the local flavours! We had the Char Siew & Chicken Mee Tuaran and a bowl of Mee Hoon Soup. The Mee Tuaran was fragrant and springy, with the Char Siew being nicely done, though the chicken was a little dry and tough. The Mee Hoon Soup was light and comforting. Drinks were on point – we ordered Kopi, Kopi C, Teh C, and Teh Tarik Madras Ping. Each one hit the spot, especially the Teh Tarik Madras Ping which was frothy and refreshing. Great spot for a local breakfast or lunch. Would definitely return to try more!

I tried its Tuaran Mee this morning. Not bad. However, I also ordered a Barley Ping drink that was too diluted. Otherwise, this almost 50 year old kopitiam is worth trying for its wide variety of local food. And the ambience here brings you back to the old days.

One off the best Tom yam in KK , that’s the one and only dish i ordered every visit . The lady boss is very friendly and besides local , there are many asian tourists patronising the shop.

Seng Hing has been well known for their tomyam prawn noodle soup for decades. Over the years, the prawns have gotten smaller from one big prawn split in half in the early days, to now just small prawns. The soup is also less thick than before. Still tasty, but not quite the legend it once was.

I like the Tuaran mee. You can expect some wok hei and the good flavour of the noodle. I came during the off peak hour, so there’s plenty of table available. Do prepare some cash for payment as it is preferable payment method by the restaurants

Sat near the street, nice atmosphere where you can see passersby. The laksa is pretty good, I find the laksa compared to Singapore ones is thinner in broth. Not bad still. Savory but not very heavy on coconut milk.
Monica H — Google review
For me, the tuaran mee is overrated unless you order lihing (white cooking wine) tuaran mee. Sweet and sour fish was ok. The wet butter chicken is the best in town in my opinion- the sauce is like pure butter with added flavours. My friends always get their famous laksa here. Chicken fried rice is nice too.

Kah Hiong Ngiu Chap is a popular noodle dish in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. The dish features a variety of beef cuts such as beef balls, brisket, tripe, tendons, and other parts served in a rich and flavorful beef broth. The restaurant simmers the beef cutlets and daikon radish for hours with their special blend of herbs and spices to infuse the broth with delicious flavors.
One of the best beef noodles in town, hands down. The broth is rich, thick, and packed with natural sweetness from the beef — you can tell it’s legit from that deep brownish-reddish color. I especially love that they serve it with radish, which adds a nice balance to the dish. The chili here is no joke — spicy with a sharp, stingy kick that lingers in the best way. Definitely for chili lovers! Cleanliness is top-notch too. They even provide hot water for you to soak your utensils — a thoughtful touch that shows their attention to hygiene. And don’t miss the sweet stewed beef — tender, flavorful, and highly recommended.

The owner decided to change the rice to garlic instead plain rice. Not a good combination for bkt and somehow taste not seems right as garlic rice is usually used for chicken rice. . They should give an option for plain or garlic rice. Will be my last visit since they don’t have an option as per the staff.

There are three different soup base to choose from; dry bakkuteh, traditional and the pure thick Klang style bakkuteh. We ordered traditional clay pot bakkuteh rm16.50 per pax. The soup is fragrant with minimal herbal taste, good for those who don’t like thick herbal taste. Less salty and taste good. Rice is fragrant and moist. Overall good 👍🏻

So far the tastiest Bak Kut Teh I have tasted in KK. Meat is soft and yu tiao is good, only a little too salty for me. Price is not cheap(like all the rest of the bkt in kk). Place is clean and neat, though lack the traditional kopitiam air. Recommended!

Highly recommended to visit there! Had local food experience there with their friendly service staff. The lady staff is kind and good at explaining their menu. Basically we ordered our food from her recommendation. We ordered both dry and soupy bak kut teh with mix lean and fat pork. Also, ordered tou gee, lettuce and lime juice. All of their dish is nice and satisfying. I love their lime juice too! I’ve never heard of the drink before but I ordered it since the lady staff recommended the sweet and salty taste. That taste is quite unique and refreshing! It actually tastes like ion water(pocali sweat).

Totally unacceptable taste for me but kee hiong is the best😁Iusally order enoki and youtiao, each dry and soup bak kut teh... First tried 猪脚 this time..It still has the pork smell...so i couldn't eat much but my friend said it is considered much better than any other shops in KK.. Not sticky...

Nestled in the heart of Tuaran, Tai Fatt Restaurant is a beloved gem that has been serving authentic Tuaran Mee for over 40 years. This cozy eatery captures the essence of nostalgia, drawing visitors who fondly remember their childhood trips from Kota Kinabalu just to savor its delicious offerings. The signature dish, Mee Goreng Tuaran with fried buffalo meat, showcases perfectly cooked noodles that are soft yet chewy, complemented by a rich and flavorful broth.
Located in the heart of Tuaran, this cozy eatery has a warm and inviting atmosphere. The konlau mian was a revelation. The noodles were perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of chewiness. The broth was rich and flavorful, with a hint of sweetness that balanced the savory pork. The pork itself was tender and juicy, and the toppings of vegetables added a fresh crunch.

It is good to have an original Tuaran mee in the place where it originated. With the aroma of 'wok hei' which is not overwhelmed the cha sao favour plus the not dry tuaran mian are a perfect match. For people who like the nostalgia feel of Tuaran old shop lot, here is a perfect place.

Humbled by this 40-year-old coffee shop selling authentic Tuaran Mee. A special to Tuaran district noodle made of flour and egg distinct to its character to be soft when cooked. Reminiscing the younger time as a kid coming here with my family on a 40mis journey from Kota Kinabalu just to eat at this shop. The fried noodle hasn't lost its touch, and the food is still the same as how i would remember. It's probably even tastier! A must try 1. Mee goreng tuaran daging kerbau (buffalo beef) 2. Mee goreng tuaran char sau (bbq pork) 3. Mee sup tuaran Other food available 4. Hakka style kon lau mien (bleached dry noodle in soy sauce and with pork) 5. Mee goreng basah 6. Mee goreng kering And many more, i guess ...!!

The Handicraft Market, also known as the Filipino Market, is a vibrant waterfront market in Kota Kinabalu. It offers a wide range of items including jewelry, clothing, and handicrafts from various parts of Asia. Visitors can find unique souvenirs such as pearl jewelry, textiles, seashell crafts, and bamboo goods. The market is also a great place to sample local street food with a focus on seafood.
We came to visit the Filipino market during the day and there were lots of vendors selling various dried seafood and snacks! They are super friendly and offered samples to try! Of course we could not resist and ended up buying several bags of snacks!

We leisurely meandered through the KK (Kota Kinabalu) Handicraft Centre, also referred to as the Filipino Market or Anjung Kinabalu, on a Saturday. The market boasts a vast array of souvenirs, including Sabah pearls in various shapes and sizes. We even bought a T-shirt for RM 40. There were stunning batiks for sale, along with fresh fruits, vegetables, dried snacks, and everything else you'd expect at a market. Notably, along the front of the market, male tailors were busy at work with their sewing machines, adding a unique touch to the vibrant atmosphere. It was easy to visit, as our apartment was in The Shore, just across the road. The market operates daily from around 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM.

Had a great experience when buying dried fishes and snacks here in particular when dealing with the shopkeeper, Khabib. His service was second to none! He was friendly and easy to deal with. He gave good discounts and free gifts if buy more ! One of the best experience I've had when did my shopping here. Definitely a nice place to buy sabahan snacks and dried seafoods because of the choices they offer. Most of the stalls offer relatively the same prices but each stores have different packages of discounts and promotions so happy shopping! He can even pack for you the items in boxes for easy carry when going back home via plane.

A good place to go if you’re a tourist and wish to get souvenirs or local food stuffs from Sabah. They have lots of stalls here and the whole area is divided into a souvenir and food section. Most of the stall sell fairly similar items and bargaining is encouraged. Do take note to watch your belongings closely and be aware that the whole area is quite hot and humid especially during day time. Taking e-hailing is highly recommended as parking is very difficult around these areas.

My opinion is, know what you want to buy, study the price and try to nego with the sellers as low as you can. Item such as amplang, kerepek cincin, ikan bilis, pearl brooch, you can buy here. But for item such as T-shirt, kaftan etc just go to normal shop around KK or accross this market. For the sellers, I think they’re all so friendly & can nego. They Even can packup your bought item in a box.

An indoor bazaar made up of a potpourri of a hundred different smaller vendors hawking everything under the Sun (and then some). Expect your standard market produce, local snacks, dried goods… and also handicrafts, homewares, souvenirs, accessories, clothes, and occasionally some really bizarre artefacts. This is retail therapy at its most rugged, and the vibe is guaranteed to put you in a good mood. Gentle side note of caution: the aisles in here are narrow and it can get crowded certain times of the day and certain days of the week. Be very aware of your personables at all times.

Great place for souvenirs made in China. Every stall sells the same, so there's really no need to stroll the market. I was very disappointed as I was hoping for an authentic, handmade souvenir.

Aka Filipino Market. Not even the locals visit this place too often, but it’s got its fair charm. The seafood market will be full of people trying to get you the freshest seafood there - big crabs, fancy fish, etc. - and it’s fairly Filipino immigrant local, but cleanliness and hygiene is not a guarantee! The snacks shop are full of Malay ladies and aunties who are selling the same thing. There’s near zero diversity or differentiation between stalls. The wet raw fish market for buying whole seafoods, not for on the spot cooking and consumption, is a fun walk and experience! 7/10 overall. A lot of fascinating dishes should your stomach dare. Hinava, sea grapes, parrot fish, all for cheap!

Love the ambiance. They always put up really nice festive decoration. When we go there we always sit outside. The food was good. We had the Chicken Chop and Crispy Chicken Burger. Love the Chicken Chop. It was served hot, and chicken was cooked perfectly. The Chicken Burger was good as well. Crispy on the outside and juicy chicken fillet in the inside. Some things they can improve on is the timing of serving the food. There was a 15 minutes gap between our food. I was almost finished with my food, when the Chicken Burger was served. Also another improvement needed to be done is customer service. Some of the servers are really friendly and attentive, and some of them are not attentive and lack the communication skills. We will still go to Upperstar for the food. I would say the food here is good value for money. Hopefully they will improve on other areas and be better in the future.

Went there on 15/4/25 around 10 PM and ordered the baked chicken pasta, French fries, baked mushroom soup, and chicken burger. Kudos to the chef on duty that night — you guys did an amazing job with my food! I loved every bite of it! The baked chicken pasta was loaded with cheese on top — definitely worth the drive to the Damai branch! The fries were perfectly fried with just the right amount of salt, and the pastry on top of the baked mushroom soup was beautifully baked and generously portioned. Huge shoutout to the kitchen crew for the generous serving of fries — bless you guys! No comments on the chicken burger, but I’m pretty sure it’s just as bomb as everything else! You guys really made my night. Thank you for preparing such a hearty, comforting meal. You all deserve a raise! Not to forget the service crew — super alert and quick on their feet. So far, Upperstar Damai is the best branch to go to!

Ordered and ate here, fries was soggy, and pale, I asked for chilli sauce.. surprisingly they run out of it, ordered ice blended mocha but taste was horrible, did ask for amendment but still bad taste, and staff making jokes and cursing about 'poo/shit' near to me while I'm dining... Toilet is filthy and the toilet door knobs is horrifying, they really drop in service and quality.

A decent spot for cheap eats, a great place for friends and family gatherings. The menu offers a variety of local and Western dishes at reasonable prices. However outdoor seating can be uncomfortably hot, and the indoor air conditioning has an odd smell, suggesting some improvements would have been needed.

Upper Star Restaurant at Damai Plaza, Luyang, Kota Kinabalu has gained quite a reputation for itself, and rightfully so. This well-loved establishment not only offers delectable western-style meals, but also tantalizing Asian cuisine. One thing that truly sets this restaurant apart is their exceptional pizza, which manages to be both thin and crunchy, resulting in a taste sensation that is simply unrivaled. Personally, I find myself constantly craving their spaghetti bolognese, as it is both delightful and satisfying. When it comes to beverages, Upper Star Restaurant leaves you spoilt for choice. Their menu boasts an extensive array of options, ensuring that every customer's preferences are catered to. It is worth noting that while they used to serve alcoholic drinks, such as the classic Margarita, but no longer offer them. The ambiance of Upper Star Restaurant is simply delightful, with a cozy and inviting atmosphere that makes it the perfect place to relax and unwind. Whether you're looking to enjoy a meal with loved ones or simply seeking a spot to gather with friends, this restaurant will not disappoint. Upper Star Restaurant at Damai Plaza, Luyang, Kota Kinabalu is a culinary gem that has earned its rightful place on the map. With its delectable menu, cozy ambiance, and exceptional service, it truly is a must-visit destination. So why not treat yourself to a delightful dining experience that you won't soon forget?

Tuaran Mee Restaurant is a popular spot known for its delicious seafood dishes such as prawns, crabs, fish, clams, and wet butter chicken. The restaurant is famous for its Tuaran Fried Noodles, also known as Tuaran Mee, which is made from a batter of egg yolk and flour. This fragrant and slightly smoky egg noodle dish attracts locals and visitors alike. The prices vary depending on the ingredients chosen for the noodles.
What would be the point of dropping into Tuaran with enjoying tuaran mee? Absolutely a must treat for yourself. The noodle, hakka styled home made egg noodle, fried and garnished with roast pork, cha siew, vegetables and egg rolls. Due to the frying, the noodle is fragrant and somewhat crunchy. You can further add flavour with chilli sauce and/or infused with lihing, a locally brewed liquor. A veritable cuisine on a plate. Tuaran mee restaurant would not be so bold to carry the dish name without doing the fried noodle justice. The restaurant is fairly bare but it not a factor for enjoying a good tuaran mee.

Further in to town there’s another much better place but its not to say it wasn’t good, just not the best for me n my taste buds. U hv 2go 2them to order which i hate n its ur typical coffee shop style. The mee soup oso average nothing fancy, chili too watery.

Lunch recently at the home of Mee Tuaran in Sabah. They have all sorts of fried noodles here. If you are looking for the signature style of Mee Tuaran with rice wine, you need to ask for “tambah Lihing”. Lihing is a type of Sabahan rice wine made from "pulut", a glutinous rice, and is a traditional rice wine for the Kadazan-Dusun people. The roast pork noodles was excellent. The seafood noodles used a fish meat that tasted like chicken! Not sure what fish it was. Perhaps some tuna. Unsure.

Sabah Part 4 We were supposed to meet another couple who flew in late at Tuaran. So when we got to the town, the first thing we did was to look for Tuaran Mee. With no reference whatsoever, we looked for the oldest looking shop - almost all shops looked old 😅 so we settled for the one aptly named with the famous dish from this town. Price varies depending on what ingredients you order for the Mee - one has option for biasa, saunyuk (roast pork), seafood, daging, saunyuk campur, daging kering campur and kosong. ◾Mee Goreng is a must-order! The homemade noodle packed with wok hei although not much presentation. ◾Kon Lau Mee - basically noodle with concoction of dark sauce and topped with ingredients. Options for those who don't like their noodle dry. Their fried noodle was definitely star of the show. They do have another branch in Inanam for those who don't feel like traveling far. We also bought durian from a stall next door but the flavour didn't come close to West Malaysia's.

They said it's the best Tuaran Mee in town. The noodle itself is already nice without any condiments, it has a chewy texture as seems it used an egg in the noodle dough. During eat it we also can taste a strong the egg flavour in every time we chew. On top of that it very tasty as well. Must Try !!

How Lee Coffee Shop is a popular spot for night owls, operating from 6PM until late. It is renowned for its Chinese porridge and Tenom Noodles. While both dishes are beloved, this time the spotlight shines on the Tenom Noodles which feature springy noodles, expertly cooked roast pork, and delightful flavors. The curry chicken lacks spiciness but boasts a strong curry powder taste; it is considered a signature dish by the owner.
The Food actually is quite good especially the porridge And tenom mee. I personally love the wet tenom mee. Fried tenom mee also quite Food.

We came here at the recommendation of the snorkeling guide (reads local). Their specialty was the porridge, and we ordered one seafood porridge, one razor clams porridge and a chicken porridge. The guide highly recommended the salted egg bitter gourd which we ordered although the both of us are not a fan of bitter gourd. We had an additional order of dry noodles with fish after seeing other people having it. Generally I feel the porridge is a bit too salty to my liking, not much ingredients as well... More porridge than the ingredients. The salted egg bitter gourd was tasty though, it was crispy and the salted egg covers the bitterness of the bitter gourd. The noodles was ok, normal but the fish were quite chunky and tasted ok.. not too bad. The one I like most from what we had ordered was the 腐竹薏米水 (Barley bean curd skin drink). It was not too sweet, just nicely sweetened, thick enough and very very tasty!! It's what I like. The place was crowded with people.. no queues as the turnover was quite fast. I don't mind to come back to try the other food that's in their menu next time.

This place does beef noodles in the morning and western food in the evening, and now they’ve added chicken rice too. Tried it, but honestly, it was disappointing.

If you're on the hunt for a hidden gem that serves up authentic local flavors, look no further than Gerai Kelapa Bakar Kak Tini. This charming kampung-style stall specializes in lokan bakar (grilled clams) and offers an array of other delightful dishes like keropok (crackers), grilled chicken wings, and their famous coconut pudding. The inviting aroma of grilled coconut fills the air, creating a warm atmosphere perfect for enjoying your meal.
I visited in early November 2024, on a Saturday around 2pm. I chose Gerai Kak Tini, which was conveniently located right in front of where I parked. All the stalls sold lokan and grilled oysters at the same price, but I went with Kak Tini's stall nearer to my car. At first, I was hesitant to try the raw oysters, but they were surprisingly good, so I ended up buying 3kg! No stomach issues afterward. The coconut pudding was delicious, especially when eaten during hot weather, and the grilled coconut water was a unique experience—I've never had hot raw coconut water before. It was totally worth the drive. The oysters were unforgettable, and I’ll definitely visit again if I'm in Sabah! Oyster RM15/kg.

My last visit to the lokan place was 5 years ago and to my surprise now all the stalls hv shifted to a more proper place, which is good for us visitors as the place has more parking, brighter and better hygiene. I couldn't remember which stall we visited. So i end up choosing this stall which has good rating on the google review. To my disappointment, this is the worst lokan i had. It is totally tasteless the lokan. The saucd given was just normal cili kicap, just sucks! Dun ever go to this stall for lokan! But the coconut puding is ok though... Just a little too sweet to me.... But still... The coconut puding has changed a lot compared to 5 years ago... I meant nt particularly this stall, is like all stall (i think all, cos tried a few stall and all same). Last time was translucent colour, now the puding is white colour. 5 years back, they do not add coconut millk but only coconut water. Now they added coconut milk (i guess, cos is white colour) .

Obviously, this restaurant serves some of the best tasting noodles in Tuaran. On the walls are hung posters and banners which show off its achievements. I however believe that it is their fried noodles which is the better dish, and not the ones prepared with soup or kon lo style. The waiter / waitress taking the order should explain this fact. The down side of this shop is its lack of attention to cleanliness. No doubt that the restaurant is located in a relatively ancient building but that does not mean that the restaurant need not be clean. They have even proudly hung up their "B" rating card which they received from the Majlis Perbandaran Tuaran. Its a pity that the restaurant management has not taken proactive steps to upgrade the cleanliness of this place.

Intend to try local food and here we are for the Tuaran Fried Noodle. Noodle were nice yet taste average. Char Siew a bit too dry. Easily can get a parking here. Food serving was fast too. Price average. Cleanliness a bit poor.

Founder of Mee Tuaran and always a go to place for it. Utensils soaked in hot water were served first as this was the traditional way of keeping the hygiene. Staff were friendly and would highly recommend it.

Chinese restaurant
Restoran Wun Chiap is a popular eatery known for its Tamparuli Mee, often confused with Tuaran Mee due to their similar handmade noodles and chun kien. However, Tamparuli Mee stands out with its springier texture and unique ingredients like siew yoke and scrambled eggs. Some recommend trying it with tomato sauce for an interesting flavor combination.
Friendly staff in the restaurant recommending must-try-food.. The noodles looks simple, however it's super delicious, chewy and flavourful!

Food was mediocre. Lack of flavor. Service and waiting time is slow. Most customers are locals. Servers were rude. If you cant wait then I suggest you to try other places. If you like "karen" type of treatment, can give it a go.

This renowned spot is celebrated for its Tuaran mee, yet my regular order is their delectable fried mihun paired with crispy fish fillet. The rich flavor of the fried mihun is a delightful experience, maintaining its appealing texture. The fish fillet, expertly coated in a thin layer of flour, boasts an enticing aroma and delectable taste. Opting for the large portion is my norm, given the rarity of my visits to Tamparuli. The prices are incredibly reasonable, adding to the overall satisfaction of the dining experience.

Randomly this restaurant is recommended by the local guide over lunch at own expense. First taste of Tauran Noodle. Tuaran Noodle (locally known as Tuaran Mee, 斗亚兰面 in Chinese), a traditional handmade egg noodle born in Tuaran town. This golden-color noodle is rich with egg aroma. If prepared nicely, the noodle is crispy outside but soft inside. We had a dry version 干捞 and the other one with egg starch 滑蛋. Noodle in both version are smooth, springy and chewy. You will be surprised that Tuaran Mee can be stomach-filling even taken in small quantity. Sayur Manis fried eggs is also another popular item off the menu. Price is reasonable charged consider its in a small town off from city. Should have try their Lo Mee as recommended by a diner whom shared table with us. Good dining experience for first timer in Kota Kinabalu.

Not nice anymore, used to be one of our stop by for Tamparuli noodle before Kundasang trip. The noodle tasted bland and soggy, stir fry vegetables is ok, omelette egg too. Didnt take photo of the noodle, wasnt happy by the look and taste of it. Overall not worth the wait, service is also bad. If u want to try, dont go in empty stomach, expect 1 hour wait.

It's me and my partner's first time here, a couple friend brought us for brunch. So we ordered a Ayam Goreng Nasi, Butter Chicken Rice, and a Kopi Ping (do excuse me if i got the food name wrong from the menu). The Kopi Ping arrived first. I specifically mentioned "kurang manis" but oh my the drink was sooo sweet and very very minimal coffee taste. The Ayam Goreng rice was such a huge portion but when my Butter Chicken arrived, the meat portion was as little as a palm size, that was a lil disappointing 🥹 but ngl the taste is great. Our friends ordered the Terung to share. the 'small' portion was HUGE! the deep fried crisp was the batter was nice👌🏻 but unfortunately the eggplants themselves got no seasoning inside. Our friends still enjoyed their food, but hmm.. it was a miss for me 🙏🏻

Delicious food, price for the value Upon entry, I was greeted with a warm and welcoming smile, and the waitresses were friendly as well. The restaurant features three sections: a non-air-conditioned area, an air-conditioned area, and a VIP room that can be booked for special occasions. The eggplants are fried and imbued with the aroma of dried shrimp. The Assam soup is drizzled with a layer of chili oil. Both the fish heads and prawns are served fresh. Portions are generous; for example, the fried rice is enough for at least 1.5 to 2 people. It’s definitely worth to give this restaurant a visit 👍👍

I just want to share my first experience here in tamar rindu. As we decided to celebrate my mother’s birthday in this restaurant but sadly I would not recommend this restaurant ,if you just want to have a small and simple birthday celebration with your family. The restaurant has a very strict “no outside food or drinks” policy. We had already ordered a large portion of food and drinks from the restaurant, but when we finished eating and wanted to cut the birthday cake as traditions ( small cake brought from outside) . We asked the waiter for small plate for the cake but the waiter told us “no outside food or drinks” policy so she not gonna entertain our request . In the end, we had to keep the cake back in the box and bring it back home instead. Eat it with fewer family members who initially want to celebrate together ,this experience kinda spoiled our moment and quality time together and the initial purpose of celebrating. Overall , I respect their policy and The first 2 waiters are nice and friendly. (3 waiters who serve us) I just want to share my experience here so others can plan ahead if they wish to celebrate a small occasion here. Thank you.

Restaurant Kyun Lok Baru is a must-visit spot for anyone looking to indulge in the authentic flavors of Tuaran Mee. This iconic coffee shop, known for being one of the first to serve this beloved dish, has made quite an impression on local food enthusiasts and even appeared on television. The restaurant takes pride in crafting its own noodles right upstairs, ensuring that every bowl served is fresh and delicious.
This coffee shop serves Tamparuli Mee that’s definitely worth trying. We had both the dry and wet versions and they were equally delicious. The noodles were well-cooked with a nice bite and the flavors were well balanced. The wet version stood out with the addition of yellow wine, giving it a fragrant, slightly sweet depth that complemented the broth beautifully. A great spot if you’re looking for a satisfying plate of authentic Tamparuli Mee.

This restaurant serves the local based comfort food. Filled with all local patrons. Service was quite fast. Unfortunately, the food was lacking the oomph. Especially the fried Mee Tuaran was kinda bland. We also ordered fried rice (not in pic), which was quite good; like the total opposite for the noodles. Nevertheless, it was okay.

Came here because there were many reviews and it looked quite popular. But some of the reviews mentioned that the lady boss is rude—and that's absolutely true. She was very rude and lacked basic manners in the way she communicated with customers. And just to be clear, I'm a local—not a tourist expecting 5-star treatment. Not recommended at all. As for the food, the taste was just so-so—nothing special, but quite expensive, to be honest.

Restoran Beaufort is a delightful gem nestled in Beaufort Town, renowned for its signature dish, Beaufort Mee. This culinary masterpiece features soft yellow noodles enveloped in a rich sauce, complemented by tender slices of pork and fresh choy sum. The secret to its irresistible flavor lies in the meticulous stir-frying process that gives the noodles a slight crispiness before they are bathed in thick gravy.
A Warm and Flavorful Experience at Restoran Beaufort My recent visit to Restoran Beaufort was an unforgettable culinary experience that deserves to be shared. From the moment I stepped into the restaurant, I felt an inviting atmosphere that combined authentic local charm with a casual, friendly vibe. The staff greeted me with genuine smiles and guided me to a comfortable table, setting the tone for what turned out to be an exceptional meal. One of the highlights at Restoran Beaufort is its menu, which features a delightful array of local favorites and traditional Malaysian dishes, all prepared with a keen attention to freshness and flavor. I ordered the signature Beaufort Mee, a must-try dish featuring handmade noodles stir-fried to perfection with a rich, savory sauce, complemented by tender slices of pork and crisp vegetables. The smoky aroma alone was enough to make my mouth water, and the first bite exceeded my expectations — perfectly balanced and utterly satisfying. Another standout was their mixed vegetable dish, which showcased the freshness of the produce and the skill of the chef. Each bite burst with natural flavors and had just the right amount of seasoning, highlighting the restaurant’s commitment to quality ingredients. Beyond the food, the service was top-notch. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, always ready to refill my tea or offer recommendations. It’s clear that they take pride in creating a welcoming dining experience for every guest. Overall, Restoran Beaufort is a gem that captures the essence of local flavors while providing warm hospitality. Whether you’re a local or a traveler passing through, this is a spot you won’t want to miss. I can’t wait to come back and explore more of their menu!

Service is very bad, food Isn't bad but your only allowed a few options even though it written on the menu. I ask for long bean, they say no, bitter melon, also no, kai lan, also no. Only option is to have the choi sum but I specifically order pork and they serve me seafood(only few pieces of small prawn, and they were already bad. I inform the staff and they refuse to admit their mistake. After the meal as I was leaving I notice they did have the items that I requested place in the back. Why even bother making a menu if you limited the option customer can choose? Will be my first and the last time I try.

Although the shop is named after Kuching Laksa, the dish here was disappointing. The broth lacked the expected spiciness, tanginess, and coconut milk richness.

Not my favourite Kuching Laksa. The soup is lack of something, takde ohm. And it's watery. Kuching laksa soup should have the 'sandy' feeling. Also they provide just chilli paste and not sambal. Sambal and Laksa go hand in hand mar, give me back my sambal pls. One thing though their soup is served REALLY hot. 👏 Chinese would appreciate it. Coriander is served separately, u can add as your preference. Also, I think the price is reasonable. RM10 for medium size, the portion is just nice for me.

Another one I ordered omurice, but honestly it's just a thin fried egg and you can even see whites on it! For that price and this kind of food is definitely not worth it. Bet your chef never eaten good Japanese food. Better not call yourself a Japanese restaurant! Hinode? 日の出? More like '日の入り' because my hope for good food definitely died here.

DO NOT EAT HERE—UNLESS YOU WANT FOOD POISONING! I ended up with severe food poisoning after eating here, and as I write this, I am extremely sick in the restroom, completely miserable. When I politely called to inform them, the woman on the phone immediately hung up the moment I mentioned it. I tried calling multiple times, but they refused to answer. This place doesn’t just lack professionalism—they also have zero respect for their customers. The waiter straight-up lied about portion sizes, telling me my order was fine for one person when in reality, it was a family-sized meal. Just another way they try to scam people. The restaurant next door is 100 times better—better service, and they actually care about their customers. This place is a joke, and it’s clear they don’t care about hygiene, honesty, or basic decency. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

Mentaiko chazuke was firstly served in hot and it wasn’t disappointing because it brings back memories when I was food hunting at the Kuromon fresh market of Osaka. Simple dish that could go sideway easily if Did ordered sashimi assortment which eventually go downhill. Definitely can tell the tuna and salmon are not very fresh and slices don’t have a clean cut that eventually lead to the damages to the meat. For the same price value in comparison, I would think twice again in the future. Hamachi and scallops are fresh and yum though. It’s a notable great challenge to serve fresh sashimi especially the customer group isn’t large, and customers are not ordering sashimi in regular basis in the city. Waiters and waitresses are very well-mannered and alert to customer. That’s a bonus worth to mention.

Wisma Sabah stands tall as a historic landmark in KK, while the shop might not boast the same storied history, its culinary prowess is undeniable. We indulged in both the classic pan mee soup and the tantalizing dry chili pan mee, each dish a testament to the shop's culinary mastery. The classic pan mee soup invoked waves of nostalgia with every spoonful, while the dry chili pan mee ignited our taste buds with its bold flavors. However, the Korean-style black pepper pork rice failed to leave a lasting impression, offering a taste that was merely ordinary amidst the extraordinary flavors of its companions.

Handmade pan mee is not always easy to come by, and this early morning spot does an excellent job of it, with the mixed fish ban mian being a must-try for lovers of fish balls and 鱼滑 like myself. It’s quite a hot and stuffy space to enjoy hot soup noodles, and the drinks are hit and miss but I would definitely come back for my food order!

The broth is very good. Authentic and feels home made. I ordered the hand made one with soup. Other then the smooth n silky pan mee for my breakfast there is nothing else worth noticing. Service wasnt friendly. Self service for utensils and sauces(not much choice) Rm9.50 per bowl of original. I like that the shop starts operation early int he morning. Bonus for my gastronomic walkabout KK town. Off to the wet market now.

Quiet, cosy place run by a small family. Food is tasty. We chuckled when we saw the Korean words at the door 손칼국수... because it's true! Pan mee = kalgugsu

Yau Tao with kaya is the first try and it’s really nice. It’s crispy and inner is filling. Their homemade yakun is not too sweet. Grab and go.

Kuih muih are all top notch! Presentation of the food are good too! Just that need to improve more on the taste of food. Not really good. We ordered Nasi lemak ayam, ayam penyet and ayam masak merah. Taste are just ok ok 50-50. Sorry managed to take ayam penyet photo only!
Theodore C — Google review
Oysteregg Prawn w Rice was so so and in a big portion. Its enough for two person. If you are a lady, that kinda rice portion is not for us. Fried Indo Mee is just average. Barley and Honey Lemon was spot on. Kuih muih is delicious because its not sweet because I am that girl that doesn't like sweet things. The Mochi Gula Melaka is soft and gentle to the palate, the Ubi Kayu is the first I ever taste without sweetness, maybe a little bit. Love it! Since buy 2 free 1, I chose Kuchi Kelapa. Its like Kuih Lenggang. A bit sweet but still delicious.

Second time here. The first time, we bought mochi gula melaka,it's just sweet with no aroma of gula melaka. Giving chance for 2nd time,i bought peanut mochi, same also. It's just pure sweetness with no balance between savory and sweet. You can even see the coarse sugar granules in the photo. The other one was kuih koci, too big of a size. The taste is slightly tolerable. The sizes were too big for a manisan. When someone made their food in gigantic size, they don't care about the quality or the details. I have a feeling they won't last long. Otherwise, service was okay on both times.

I don't really wanna give 1 star review but this is the only way people would read my review and be warned. I wouldn't even have tried your shop if it wasn't that one moment a colleague "tapau" your cucur udang, kelupis and lenggang and had me to try some. I gotta admit at that time, I was so shocked cause it was the best kueh/taste I ever tasted. So that's why I decided to brought my friends to try other food and the kueh today. I was actually worried even from the start because I know how hard to keep the taste consistent. And so we ordered the cucur, lenggang, kelupis, 3 main dishes which was chicken butter rice, nasi ayam penyet and nasi lemak special as well as 3 drinks (chinese tea, soy milk and kopi) Long story short here are our ratings: The 3 kueh: 4/10 (very disappointed as it was not the same from I first tasted it which is only from 2 days ago) Chicken Butter Rice: -1/10 (the worst butter chicken we ever tasted, not sure if the recipe is "special" or "family recipe" but , nah. nah. absolutely nah.) Nasi ayam penyet: 3/10 (the sambal saved the dish, barely. Oh and, your chicken is not fresh.) Nasi lemak special: 2/10 (again the sambal saved the dish. The fried chicken is super dry and bland. Next, beef in the rendang could have been more tender and the rendang itself lacks the aroma which I'm pretty sure is crucial to the dish. And the rice.. yes it's fragrant and tasty but the texture oh man.. the chef should learn from the basic eh, the rice was too soft and actually kinda ruined the overall dish. For Rm27 something.. it's really not worth it. The drinks: kopi could be more kaw and less sweet as per requested but I think they forgot but sokay. Homemade soymilk is kinda "watered down" kinda taste, tasted better. We're not writing these reviews to condemn your business, we just wanna share our experiences to other future consumers so they are.. "prepared" Ps: not sure why my review is being "hide"

The food was good, but unfortunately one of my orders was missed. When I tried to get the attention of one of the staff, I called out “Miss, miss” quite loudly as she walked past me, but she completely ignored me. I then went to the counter and noticed she was avoiding eye contact. Thankfully, another staff member assisted me. I just wanted to ask a simple question: is my missing order being prepared?

At Tuaran Mee & Roast, a delightful culinary experience awaits you! I had the pleasure of trying their unique Mee Tuaran Lihing for the first time, paired perfectly with a refreshing cup of cold coffee. The flavors were so enticing that I found myself craving more the very next day. Their menu features an array of options including the highly recommended Tuaran Mee Special and succulent roast duck, which are must-tries.
Tuaran mee is nice here. If want to try something special, can order the lihing tuaran mee🥃
Joyce W — Google review
The Tuaran seafood noodles were nice. However, the waiter missed my friend’s order and insisted that we didn’t make that order. So, when we followed up, they treated it as an add-on. We had to wait a long time, and even after checking with them, they said it would take at least another 10 minutes since it was considered an add-on. Additionally, the chicken breast was undercooked, and taste-wise, it wasn’t a good choice for us. The Lihing Tuaran noodles tasted good, just slightly oily. The place is divided into two sections, one mainly serving Tuaran mee and the other focusing on Hock Chew red wine noodles and other dishes. it’s a shared space, but if you sit on a specific side, you better order at least one of their dishes, which I think is fair enough. The regular Tuaran noodles come with pork slices. The noodle portion is small, but the amount of pork is quite generous. No harm in giving it a try!
Nico L — Google review
The Tuaran Mee was just average … nothing really stood out in terms of flavour or texture. On the other hand, the soup noodles topped with roast pork were actually pretty tasty. The broth had a nice depth of flavour, and the roast pork added a rich, savoury touch. But it was a bit on the oily side, which might not be for everyone.
Lee M — Google review
I ordered Tuaran Mee Lihing seafood+ mee + liao (more meats). Turned out 3 small prawns and 4 thin fish slices for RM23. I don't mind the price if served with thicker fish and large/ medium-sized prawn.
ChinVui L — Google review
I was quite disappointed with the portion size of the Tuaran Mee I ordered via Grab. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the chance to check it immediately as I was rushing for a flight. When I finally did, I found the portion surprisingly small considering the price (RM 14 on Grab app). The taste and texture were both average—not particularly impressive. Overall, the value for money just wasn’t there. You should be ashamed of yourself!

(Translated by Google) 3 stars? 0.00001 stars A place that doesn't deserve even 1 star It didn't matter if it was old, it was a place that wasn't managed at all I chose the accommodation after seeing the pictures because I didn't care if it was old I was fooled by the pictures After the hopping tour, I came back to wash up, but there was no water I contacted them, but they were late A person who said he was the room manager came, but The government made excuses that the water supply was cut off due to a water shortage The host who contacted me via KakaoTalk made the same excuse They said that water supply is common in this country However The people I went with stayed at another place And they said that the water was flowing well there and everything was fine Everywhere else was fine This place was not fine The response after that was unbelievable and unbelievable They told me to use the water in the large water tank under the sinkㅡㅡ Ha... Thinking about it again It's creepy They said the water supply would be cut off until 6, But it didn't come out even after 6, And they told me to wash up quickly because the water might not come out even at 11ㅡㅡ That's what I'm saying Makgeolli The host was slow to respond and the manager there only sent me a text asking if I had not arrived yet so I called Agoda directly to inquire Since it was the 2nd night out of 4 I was going to leave right away and asked for a 2-night refund Agoda said It was past 7pm so they would only refund 1 night This is ridiculous I won't stay in this room anymore But the 2-night fee is ridiculous Even the water doesn't go down If I poop, I have to spend the rest of my time pooping This is crazy... I came back from hopping and from 4pm to 8pm I asked the host, manager, and Agoda to resolve the issue and there was chaos what should I do.. The way they handled the issue was really the worst The fact that they only refunded 1 night was even creepier I got a refund for all 4 nights and held my feelings I only requested 2 nights that I didn't stay I did it 4 hours of my time just contacting them and doing nothing My time trying to find another place to stay Grab costs going back and forth My plans all went wrong Even if I only get a refund for 2 nights, it's all my loss I somehow got a refund for 2 nights And eventually moved to another place Since I didn't have much time to stay at the place I thought it was cheap and booked it I was wrong That price is very, very expensive It's just expensive Even if you pay me to go back, I won't go I If you're thinking of choosing this place You should think carefully They say that you can handle the darn water shortage that can happen If you do, you can wash in a black bucket under the sink and live Are you able to use a toilet that doesn't drain Are you able to live with poop piling up for a day or two?

Beyond their exceptional coffee offerings, visitors can indulge in mouthwatering dishes like Mee Tuaran, a local specialty featuring stir-fried homemade egg noodles.

As a new addition to the area, Kopi Ping Cafe offers food and coffee that meet general expectations, attracting both casual diners and coffee lovers. The menu is reasonably curated, and the taste aligns with its positioning. However, for a cafe at this price point, there is room for improvement in overall cleanliness and hygiene. With some attention to detail in maintaining the dining environment, the outlet has the potential to become a more comfortable and welcoming spot for regular visits.
