The Garden

Me and my husband had actually visited this hidden open aired eatery called The Garden way in January (sorry for the late posing) so I'm not too sure whether they're still open or not (since they don't even have a FB page that I know of). But just in case they are, they're located somewhere within the Sin Onn Tiku area, right before the road leading up to the local hiking area called the Lim Man Kui Quarry. For a more detailed direction, you guys can check out this post made by the Love Tawau FB page admins. 

Personally I really like the whole environment of the place. It definitely screams 'santai' what with the homey feel (because we are technically  dining at someone else's lawn) plus a great hilltop view of the sunset. And although the food selection were not as wide as expected, the ones that were available were pretty good. We tried their Ikan Bakar Sambal, Kam Heong Grilled Prawns, Four Season Beans with some Fried Rice & Fried Mee Hoon and all were savoury and tasty. We were actually hoping to sample their Grilled Chicken Wings as well but those were only available during the weekends. Oh and they do served alcohol beverages in this establishment so muslims might want to take note on that.

** Current status - Still in operation (as of June 2022)

** By the way, this is Buster (I believe) the owner's friendly dog saying hello to us before being 'scolded' away for strolling around at the front when he was supposed to be at the back of the house 😅
