First and foremost...

Thank you so much for visiting this humble blog of mine. I'll try to give you guys some good reviews on the local food & sceneries especially from my hometown (yay Tawau, Sabah) so please bear with me ok 😊

Oh and just so you guys know before proceeding...

a) I never travel abroad - so you won't be seeing any posts outside of our beloved country (yet!)

b) I take all of my pictures with my smartphone - so no professionally taken photos here as well (sad but true)

c) I dined using my own moolah - so my comments are somewhat unbias (for now)

d) I have this ongoing problem with my internet at home so I can only go online at work (the 'perks' of living at the bottom of a hill)- so I'm sorry beforehand for any comments that cannot be reply timely (my bad)

e) I don't mind if you guys wanted to use any of my pictures - just as long as you credit this blog as well ok 👍

Also due to my own carelessness, I've accidentally deleted most of the photos that I've uploaded to Google Album Archive a few years back. Thankfully I found a way to recover most of them (but not all I'm afraid) albeit in a much lower resolution & quality. So if you're viewing my past posts and there seems to be missing photos from them, I do apologized beforehand for that. I'll try to update them with newer photos should I drop by said places again in the future. So sorry folks... 😢😢😢

So here goes nothing...

San Da Gen Kopitiam (Sandakan FoodieVenture #11)

Last but not least we have this iconic place from my trip to Sandakan. This eatery has been recommended my numerous food bloggers and Tiktokers that I just had to try them out. Although parking might be a challenge since they're located right in the middle of the (old) main town area at Lebuh Dua, patrons specially tourists still manages to make their way there (us included of course). I dig the whole nostalgic Hong Kong vibe of the eatery and since they only have a huge, single chalkboard as a menu, it is completely natural for almost everyone to be standing in front of it just to pick out the menu items (even though I find this amusing). We eventually ordered their Mee Siam and Nasi Lemak Ayam Berempah and both were commendable. The eatery is also well known for their UFO tarts but I was not in the mood for one so instead I opted for their Egg Tart and it was yummy and crispy.

UP CASE Cafe (Sandakan FoodieVenture #10)

Me and hubby had been to this cafe during our previous visit to Sandakan (well now that I thought of it, almost all of the eateries currently featured were actually our previous stops) when we were trying to find a good place for dinner via Google. The place left a pretty good first impression on us so we decided to go back at IJM township (I remembered that we had to turned at a roundabout and went passed a Domino's Pizza just to get to the area). We had different dishes during our prior visit but this time around we tried their Vegetarian Nasi Lemak with Fried Chicken Chop, Wholemeal Sandwiches and Chocolate Mille Crepe for dessert. We were again impressed by their food which were hearty and delicious. Plus they have a pretty quick service which was even more impressive to us since they have a full house on both occasions that we were there.

Restoran Haji Tamrin Prima Square (Sandakan FoodieVenture #9)

Another thing that I have mentioned in my previous post was my husband's love for the Nasi Kuning dish. So I was a bit amused that he was even willing to stopped by this eatery, even though it was actually a branch originated from Tawau. But from what I've heard, their original eatery in Tawau is now being run by an entirely different owner (but still using its original name). Not too sure if that was true or not (as I haven't revisited the eatery for a long time) but this one at Bandar Prima Square, Jalan Utara seemed legit, what with the Nasi Kuning Combo Ayam & Ikan and Nasi Kuning Ayam Berempah tasted just like the ones in Tawau before, which were indeed delicious.
