My goodness… There aren't any other eateries in Tawau that is as
(to quote Barney Stinson from HIMYM) ‘legen… wait for it… dary’ as this place.
Prominent food bloggers from various places have made their journey to this
unassuming eatery (located within the Taman Megah
commercial area, on the same row as a bakery called Sweet Secret Bakery) just to get a taste of their ever popular soto dishes. And I’m not even exaggerating when I say that it’s a
waiting game when it comes to dining there since most of the time, the place is
packed with customers. But I do like the fact that most of the patrons were
very understanding and doesn’t mind sharing their tables with other people
(which is unavoidable most of the time anyway).
And that is exactly what had happened to me and my mom when
we decided that it was finally our
time and braved the notoriously
crowded eatery ourselves. After waiting for less than a minute, we got lucky
and managed to share a table with this friendly Chinese couple and ordered up.
Mind you, the place is well known for their breakfast cum brunch staple (that
is the soto) so unfortunately they
aren’t any other choices of food should you’re not that into the latter. But they
do have an extensive choice of ingredients for their soto so I’m sure you’ll find something that you might like. In our
case, my mom had ordered their Seafood Soto (of prawns & fish slices) while
I’d gone for their Kon Lo Men + Chicken Soto combo instead. And after finishing
our meals, I must say that we’re definitely not disappointed. The soto broth was well balanced and
saporous, with a generous amount of ingredients being put into each bowl. Their
dish is definitely up there when it comes to the best soto in town but I do need to disagree when it comes to their sambal though. A few bloggers has
mentioned their somewhat delicious sambal but it was just ordinary tasting for
me. But then again, do try them out for yourselves to see whether or not you
agree with me.
