Back from home. One very short visit back home, merely that 7 days, short but it's a happy one, another blessed trip :) I used to share post regarding Tawau, but not much of pictures regarding food. This time round I'm going to drool you readers - Tawau food is Great!
 |
干捞面 + 海鲜类
Kon-Lo-Mee |
Thicker than meehon, but definitely softer than mee, chewy and soft at the same time! I think, there should be soya sauce and sesame oil in it. Hardly find it here in WM though ;(
Range of varieties, you can either choose 'wantan' or 'suigao', maybe sliced pork with chitterlings, sliced beef with tendon, or with seafood like prawn or fish balls. All at your choice :)
 |
| Tawau Style Laksa |
Slightly spicy, totally different than Penang Style Laksa!
 |
| Fish Stew |
Very thick in taste, the sauce can go with the 'kon-loh-mee'! Mm-mmm!
 |
| Lemon-Sui-Ping |
The Hakka way of saying it - Lemon Sui Ping （柠檬水冰）! And this is not found in WM, such a waste! (Mostly with honey though, not my type!)
 |
| Indo Cafe II |
Very famous Indo Cafe organised by Indonesian Chinese. Well, they serve really nice food, although I didn't get to try it but that's the rumor! We were there for desserts for almost every night!
 |
| Menu |
Quite a lot to choose from. This is the 2nd branch in Tawau. Opening a branch in such a small town - Meaning real good! Sooner or later it'll be a place for the Indonesian instead, sad ;(
 |
| ABC Kosong |
The same old recipe - Blended ice with sugar syrup and evaporated milk - Same old kids' recipe!
 |
| Pisang Goreng Cheese |
Aiyoyoyo... This plate here is surely a CANNOT MISS kind of dessert! With brown sugar and cheese on top the freshly fried sliced banana - WooHooooo!
 |
| Mango Sago |
Finely blend, with milk and mango, topped up with mango cubes and sago - Heavenly!
 |
| Finely Blended Mango with Mango Cubes |
According to my aunt, they blend these daily with freshly picked mangoes with condensed milk, then topped 'em up with mango cubes. Well, it's anyway nice!
 |
| Pork Ribs |
One will never missed this bowl of pork ribs. They used to locate at 'Da Pai Dang' and now second branch in Taman Megah area. Also used to taste so much tastier but now, slightly diluted ;(
 |
| 'Long Di Mee Hon' |
Same old, same old. Taste wonderfully brilliant!
 |
| Closer Look |
It's actually fried meehon, wrapped up with egg, then topped up with pork gravy, along with sliced pork and liver. Pork lover, you shouldn't have missed this as well, be sure to eat along with the pork ribs' sauce, yum-yum-yummmm!
 |
| Tawau Style of Sauces |
We prefer blended chili sauce, than those they use in WM with 'chili padi'.
 |
| All-Time-Favourite |
 |
| Chocolate Rice Bun |
I used to bring this to school everyday. Very simple recipe, a bun, with some cream, spread chocolate rice all over it, and taa-daaa! Missing it!
 |
| 'Shang Nyiuk Mien' |
My drug. In case you missed my previous post regarding Tawau, I'm going to present this lovely drug here again *proudly* Looking extraordinarily normal kind of 'Kon Lo Mee Hon', and looking extremely normal kind of 'Pork Soup', but they simply taste heavenly! Don't judge it too quickly, taste it first and let me know!
 |
| Pickled Cucumber, Carrot, and Mangoes |
 |
| Roasted Peanuts |
Some tidbits before the serving of main dishes.
 |
| Marmite Chicken |
Very sweet in taste! You can easily find this everywhere in WM. My point is, Tawau has all these too! Besides the Tawau's heavenly, we do have Chinese food as well, delicious one!
 |
| Lady's Finger & Brinjal |
 |
| Sweet & Sour Fish |
 |
| Ox Tail Soup |
Rasa Sedap's Special recipe. A must try if you're there! Till the very last drop!
 |
| Rasa Sedap's TouFu |
I think there're fishes in it, taste really good especially with those fried onions and garlic, never forget to have the soy sauce to go with your rice too!
 |
| Fried Prawn with Salted Egg |
Yum-yum-yummm! Very thick in taste, be sure to dip with the salted egg at the bottom of the plate!
 |
| Fried Wet Noodle |
Wet? It's just with gravy over it. Trust me, it tastes better than dry fried noodle! Another piece than can't be found anywhere in WM, such a waste!
 |
| Walnut Cake |
Mrs Lu's special recipe! Genuinely from Tawau and Tawau only - Only if Mrs Lu moves herself to WM-lah! :D I tell you, this is best served while it's warm. Try toasting it with normal bread toaster, you'll end up with crunchy walnut and softly sponge chocolate chip cake - Beautiful!
Finally, I'm done with this post. I hold my taste bud so badly, can't even control myself, and you should be the same ;p Hope you enjoy reading (and imagining...) Visit Sabah one day, drop by Tawau for another day, just for the food we love! Not forgetting to share my previous post, too - Kindly click Here aye :)
Good day, xoxo!
