Waffle Wonderland: Light, Airy, and "OMG" Good!

Had dinner here with my husband last Saturday and it was a memorable experience. The owner Tuan Haji Awang Jaafar, personally recommended the Bitter Gourd with Salted Egg (Peria Salted Egg), and I’m so glad he did. It was crispy, savoury and unexpectedly delicious. A must-try even if you don’t usually like bitter gourd

Haji Awang is very friendly and down-to-earth. He shared with us the story behind the restaurant’s name, Sandokan; named after a legendary warrior from the indigenous Sungai ethnic group of Sabah. Such a meaningful touch that adds local heritage to the dining experience

He also mentioned that while Sandakan has many seafood places, this is one of the few with proper halal certification. Definitely makes it stand out. Great food, reasonable prices and heartfelt hospitality. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Sandakan

This bright, clean, hip cafe is part coffee shop, part restaurant, and all adorable.

Staff here is very friendly and English is spoken. The food menu has a hit list of local favorites and specialties. And it's cooked well. Lots of flavor and quality ingredients. For this town, it's definitely up there at or near the top restaurants. They also have at least one legit vegetarian dish: Nasi Lemak with fried mushrooms (not vegan). Plenty of meat options and some breakfast options for those egg eaters.

Both visits we made here were great. Once for coffee and tea, with a delicious durian cream puff for a snack. And then a second day for lunch: a Thai milk tea, iced tea, and veggie Nasi Lemak. Super impressed both times. My wife consider a the Nasi Lemak to be one of the best dishes she's had in this country to date! If you dig meat, they have chicken and oxtail Lemak as well.

Tasty stuff, clean, cool interior, and great service. An easy choice here in Sandakan.

Sandakan’s Best Find? Nasi Lemak Heaven!

This was a homecoming dinner for us together with our close family in SDK, we ordered in advance and reserved a table for 8 persons seated in an air-conditioned area on the 2nd floor. The dishes were “rushed out” to us one-by-one before we could barely warm our seats. All the dishes were fresh and delicious however one Thai-style steam fish really blow our mind for its refreshing taste. The service level was top notch, there was even a service staff dedicated to serving our table, she was standing near to us ready for our service. All in all, a satisfactory dinner and we would highly recommend to dine here.

Homecoming Dinner in SDK!
