It's located at rooftop of of the most oldest Sandakan Hotel, Hotel Nak.

I'm suggest to make early reservation for table at the rooftop with the restaurant in order to avoid disappointment during walk in.

I was there 5:30pm to take pictures of sunset & around the Bistro, and it was crowded with customer/guest after 6pm.

I would like to sit outside & enjoy the view, but it was burning hot so I decided to sit inside then, least there's air conditioners.

I was told their menu is available in their Facebook page. Personally thinking it's not convenient, I hope they can improve & make a QR code next time.

Their staffs are mostly youngsters, and they're very attentive to customer's orders & requests in order for everything to going well.

Desserts of the day are place in a cooler near the entrancd. I was asked by their staff 3 times when I'm looking up the menu, so I just placed my orders then.

I'd Elderflower honey lemon yoghurt shakes, soft shell crab salad, wild mushroom soup, gula melaka NZ lamb rack, and Swedish summer meatballs.

1. Elderflower honey lemon yoghurt shakes
It taste almost exactly like L&L, but this is more sweet & sour. In fact the yoghurt shakes menu are similar with L&L's.

2. Wild mushroom soup
Garlic bread is crispy & delightful taste, it's like a perfect sponge absorbed the soup. Soup is palatable as well.

3. Soft shell crab salad
My soft shell crab is missing half of it's legs. Also, it seems like a poke bowl instead of salad. Well, it's the only salad in the menu.

4. Swedish summer meatballs
It's slightly hard to bite the meatballs, the mash are yummy though. It has sweet sauce at the side of the mash. Well, isn't it obvious where's the insight from?

5. Gula melaka NZ lamb rack
The meat is tender, but with more fats. No gamey taste. Just alright for me.

Most of the people go there for beer, dinner & chill out with friends. It's the most 'atas' & decent Western Bistro at Sandakan.

Some of the furniture, door & the wooden stairs to rooftop are in poor condition. It's better to watch steps whenever walking around.

Anyway, they accept cash, card & e-wallets for payments. Checkout my ig:_humanburrito.bki for pictures & videos.
