each plate of chicken rice comes with bean sprouts (taugeh), pickled cucumbers and finely diced ginger, garlic & spring onion. 

the cook on the rice was fragrant and the chicken we had was juicy and tender. only downside is it’s quite pricey for a plate of chicken rice :(

the ckt had a touch of penang’s, except that it was missing some cockles (si ham). the sauce of the jawa mee was a little too diluted but overall had a pleasant taste! pretty good place for some good food! 👍🏻 

🍜penang CKT & jawa mee 

one of the best kbbq i’ve tasted in sabah! 

the pork inside the kimchi soup was slow cooked to perfection, the meat was so tender and soft it melts in your mouth. the soup was also well balanced with the right amount of spices. 

the pork neck tasted really great, loved the minced garlic and sea salt in sesame oil that came with it! 

10/10 would visit again! 
(apart from their slow service, everything else was great)

a new addition to their frozen yougurt by stop n shop is this shaved ice grass jelly topped with taro balls and red bean. 

the ice was too rough for our liking and it melted way quicker than we thought. I did not fancy the grass jelly too as it tasted too artificial :( 



🍠 iced grass jelly & taro balls 

we ordered the yuri (matcha) & akane (hojicha) drinks + a matcha tart

drinks were generally good, but tart was just ordinary 

a pretty chill place to read a book or just enjoy your time with friends 😎

🍵 minimalist matcha place 

owned by a lovely couple, they sell a variety of snacks at Lido Square (just outside subway at the corner)  

what we tried: 
🍌 banana fritters rm1.50 each (whole banana was used) 
🍠 nian gao sandwiched between sweet potatoes rm2.50 each 

opening hours: around noon time until they are sold out! be there around 2-3pm to secure your banana fritters but do expect a 20-30mins wait 🫨

🍌 CRISPY super crisp banana fritters 

what we ordered: 

🥩 pulled beef sourdough with pickles, kimchi and cheese 
🍝 chicken alfredo pasta 

pasta was great, the sourdough was just satisfactory.

great environment & nice place to chill with friends 🌈

🧀 grilled garlic & cheese sourdough w turkey ham rm19

🥯 grilled cheese sourdough 

found this hidden gem after being in kk for 10 months! koay teow noodles which taste very much like home (penang) 🥺 but most importantly it was TASTY! loved the homemade fishball and the addition of vege too. oh and of course the very generous free flow fried garlic 😋

🍜 best koay teow thng in kk!! 

high class cafe/kopitiam which serves delicious chap fan daily and the portion is also reasonably huge. you have the options to choose any dish you like (min 3 for takeaways) and there’s a section for free flow soup & tea as well. 

definitely my comfort food anyday! 

🍚 favourite chap fan cafe 

what we ordered: 

🥔 potato pave - just ordinary
🍝 scallop mentaiko pasta - not very well seasoned, the creamy sauce didn’t really go well with the angel hair pasta 
🍝 mala carbonara pasta - mala lovers should try this, we thought it was quite unique 
🥩 200 days black angus striploin - ordered the medium well, the beef was one of the best dishes of the day 
🐑 seared lamb - worth a try

🥩 200 days black angus striploin 

homemade tongsui, almsot all are cooked in slow cooker and served fresh daily. tried the pumpkin barley - the broth was thick and sweetness level was just right. they serve a variety of tongsuis and the menu varies daily. 

cakes - earl grey lemon curd was good too! 

small and cosy place, nice to chill 😎
