Tuaran's other heavyweight, a regular on TV food shows and a Sabah Food Awards heritage winner for this very dish. The noodles come out golden, bouncy and properly wok-kissed โ worth the 40-minute drive from KK on its own.

Order: Tuaran mee fried with a splash of lihing rice wine
The city's go-to for Tuaran mee without leaving town โ a 40-plus-year-old Sinsuran kopitiam that's packed by mid-morning. They fry the noodles with a dash of lihing for extra aroma; tourists and office crowds both queue for it.

The Inanam outpost of the Tuaran original, handy for KK folk who can't make the drive north. Same handmade noodles, plus a menu of variations including the rice-wine-laced lihing version.
