Sabah!Sabah!

After the comic expo, I went over to Jeffey Road to try Katong Laksa Prawn Mee which I have been longing for a while. Unfortunately it was already closed when I arrived the road at around 930pm. So we headed to Sabah instead.


The restaurant was not the fanciest around the area. It had a lousy LED light hanging outside the restaurant, but the indoor setting was quite cosy. The kitchen was an open one, so you could check how the chief master the techniques of pancake making.

Iced Red Bean $25
I was in extreme thirst when I went into the restaurant, so the first thing I checked on the menu was drink list. I turned to the last page but turned out the list was on the first page. The drink had an incredibly rich taste of coconut milk! The drink was mildly sweet and was of my liking!


Roti Canal $22
We ordered Roti Canal in plain, but it could be prepared with eggs, garlics or other ingredients. The Roti Canal looked very fluffy when it came to our table, and it did actually possess a fluffy texture. The roti canal was soft and light which went very nicely with the Beef Rendang sauce.


Roti Masala Potato $30
I thought Roti Masala Potato was something like Roti canal, fluffy and flat. Roti Masala Potato was actually fried pancaked with a potato filling. The pancake wrapper was made thin and thus became crispy after pan-fried, but could still retain a soft texture. The fillings were mashed potatoes mixed with bits of red carrots with a curry base. The Roti Masala did not have a strong taste even its fillings were mashed with curry sauce.


Beef Rendang $75
Beef Rendang is curry made with traditional Malaysian flavour sauce. The sauce was quite different from what I usually have for curry. Beef Rendang was served on plate instead of a bowl, so you could imagine the sauce wasn't much. Taste wise, the sauce was not spicy at all and tasted quite nice. I could not tell what the spices were, but there were some shredded substances that were pointy in the curry, It did not hurt your throat, but was quite annoying while having that feelings in your throat.


Fried Turnip Cake with Seafood & Eggs $60
The saucing was nice and strong, however the turnip's texture was too soft that it broke apart when you tried to pick them up with chopsticks. The turnip didn't really has a taste with them, but the spring onions, bean sprouts and eggs were concentrated with the sauce's taste . The eggs however were position at the bottom and thus became overly sauced and thus made it very salty. Not a bad dish generally but I personally love the fried turnip in LKF more. It was absolutely amazing, crispy outside and a soft creamy inside..


Coconut Rice $20
I expected a yellowish coloured rice, yet the rice came to us in pure white. The texture of the rice were overly soft and was rather meshy. However, the taste was good. It had a strong coconut taste, and even if you paired it with the curry, the coconut flavour could still be tasted.


I didn't know what the authentic taste of Malaysian is, all I knew was Sabah offers really nice dishes. I would definitely come back to try their laksa and deep fried banana later.
